The first Kolache Factory in the San Antonio area quietly opened for business yesterday in the Alamo Ranch area at 11018 Culebra Rd.

In addition to traditional fruit kolaches, the Kolache Factory offers dough rolls the size of a child’s fist stuffed with a variety of meats, cheeses, and veggies. For those not in the mood for breakfast, there are varieties such as Philly Cheese Steak and Pepperoni Mushroom.

Store hours are 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday – Saturday and 7 a.m. to 2 p.m on Sunday.

The Houston-based chain has 21 company-owned and 21 franchise stores in four states, according to its website, which also states it plans to expand to other Texas cities and states across the nation.
