You don’t have to drive all the way out West for some of the best kolaches in Texas (although the ones from Czech Stop are pretty amazing). Just about an hour from Houston in the town of Brenham, Chappell Hill Bakery & Deli serves up both fruit and sausage kolaches that will send your taste buds straight to heaven, plus an array of other sweet and savory offerings. Some folks have said that a Chappell Hill kolache is the best kolache in Brenham, Texas. We can’t disagree, but we encourage you to find out for yourself.

Located just southeast of Brenham, Chappell Hill is the picture of small-town Texas. From the friendly locals to the quaint businesses lining the streets of downtown, this close-knit community of around 600 immediately captures the hearts of all who visit it.

One of these charming businesses is Chappell Hill Bakery & Deli, a family-run establishment outfitted to look like an old-fashioned general store. Upon stepping inside, you'll be met with smiling faces and mouthwatering aromas coming from the kitchen.

While the bakery offers all sorts of decadent treats (if you don't believe us, just take a look at the dessert cases!), none are more famous than the fruit kolaches.

Often called the best kolaches in Texas, these authentic Czech pastries are baked fresh daily and taste just like heaven. There are many different flavors to choose from, so no matter what your favorite fruit is, you can bet it's on the menu.

The restaurant is also known for its sausage kolaches, traditionally called klobasneks. Order a few along with your fruit kolaches for the perfect balance of sweet and savory!

Other baked goods include pies and cakes, bread, cinnamon rolls, cookies, granola bars, and more. It's all so good that you'll want to bring home one of everything.

While sweets are undoubtedly the main event at Chappell Hill Bakery & Deli, the restaurant also offers a variety of main dishes. The barbecue plates are out of this world - especially the brisket.

The restaurant also serves other Texas favorites like chicken-fried steak and hamburger baskets (with all the obligatory sides, of course).
