ATHLEISURE LIST BROOKLYN KOLACHE

ATHLEISURE LIST: NYC + BROOKLYN, NY

Brooklyn Kolache launched in Bed Stuy and recently opened a second location in the West Village. Kolaches are Czech-origin pastries made with yeast dough and an array of savory and sweet fillings popular in Texas. Portable, versatile and delicious, they are as essential to Texans as bagels are to New Yorkers. These pillowy pastries were initially brought to central Texas by Czech immigrants in the mid1800s and originally they were sweet but savory versions developed over time. Modern day kolaches can be sweet with fillings like fruit jams, poppy seeds, cheese and streusel topping or savory with sausages, cheese, eggs and vegetables.

Every day, there are around 8-10 sweet and 8-10 savory options available. Flavors change with the seasons but signature ones are always available, like Poppyseed; Cherry and Sweet Cheese; Blueberry and Sweet Cheese, as well as savory Sausage, Jalapeño & Cheese; Texas Beef Sausage; Spinach & Feta, and more. Brooklyn Kolache also offers a host of non-traditional flavors inspired by the local community that are not usually found in Texas, including Bacon, Egg & Cheese; Mushroom & Goat Cheese and Chocolate Ganache. Orange and cinnamon rolls as well.

The most popular kolache are the Sausage, Jalapeño & Cheese; Cherry and Sweet Cheese and Strawberry Rhubarb, which is a seasonal summer flavor. Their seasonal kolache include Peach and Strawberry Rhubarb in the summer, Pumpkin Cream Cheese in October, Candy Pecan in November and December, Lemon Curd and Coconut; there are also savory ones like Brisket.

Brooklyn Kolaches are a wholesome product, made with care and the best ingredients. They support local farms and ethical producers. In addition, they do not use artificial sweeteners or preservatives, GMO plants, hormones or antibiotics, never bleached or bromated flour. Only humanely raised meat, dairy, eggs, produce are used.
