OMG I was so excited to stop here! I am Czech so finding Czech food is always exciting to me. I have always loved cheese kolaches but as I get older, I am willing to try different flavors. Besides my father's cooking when I go home to visit, I rarely get to enjoy Czech food, especially living in FL. We stopped here late morning/early afternoon. Surprisingly, everything was selling quickly.Inside, you can choose to sit down and eat or order to go from the bakery counter. It was very overwhelming in there because it was really busy and there were so many choices!! I saw they had sausage and cheese kolaches so I had to get one of those. OMG it was so friggin good!! I chose a couple fruit ones as well. Since they were so busy, stock was decreasing quickly. Hubs is not as familiar with my culture but he did enjoy the kolaches. Any time I discover apricot items, I go for it. I also purchased the apple and I believe the strawberry. Every single one was delicious and brought back so many memories of enjoying these with my family in the Czech Republic. I did explore later on if they ship and when I did find something, it was like $50+ I think for the shipping so I decided to hold off until a possible road trip that was in the future.

I love to try new places on road trips. driving between Houston and San Antonio just a little off I10 in Sealy is the Original Kountry Bakery. It is a small-ish restaurant with a drive through. The place was not dirty but it has an older worn-out feel. I mainly stopped in to try out the pastries.So the service was so so, the person working behind the counter was not very helpful when asked about flavors and recommendations. To be honest she seemed disinterested in general. We ordered 2 kolaches and a slice of pie. our first options for fillings on the pie and Kolaches were out of stock so we went with what they had that sounded good.Cream Cheese Kolaches: the breading was soft and it was an ok size however all I could taste was a heavy heavy butter taste. Almost like movie theater butter flavor. I ended up not eating all of it because of the butter flavorPineapple Kolaches: The breading was soft and was the same size as the others, however the pineapple filling was basically just off the shelf jelly. the biggest issue was that it stated just like a pineapple soda and not in a good way. It just seemed that it was infused with "pineapple flavor". In the end it was not the worst thing, but not that good.Lemon Meringue Pie: The Pie was average size slice. the meringue was pilled very high. I found the density of the meringue was very thick. It was not supple, and more ridged than I am used to. The lemon filling was an ok consistency, however the flavor was more out processed than fresh lemon flavor. the crust was fine.The biggest theme for the restaurant was that everything I tasted seemed to have a processed flavor, like the flavoring/ingredients they used was out of a can or store bought liquid. It was very noticeable when I try three totally different flavors and come away with the same thought. I would honestly say, that I have had pastry out of a package from a convenient store that tasted better than the items I sampled. In my opinion The Kountry Bakery is not worth the exit off of the freeway.

Oh my, absolutely a must try bakery. The best dough I've tasted since my German family baked. The Kolache, whether sausage or sweet, is indescribable delicious. Has that homemade flavor that you get from a real butcher shop. The sweets have all different flavors, including poppyseed and cottage cheese, which are a real tradition in other European cultures Busy place understandably but staff are very efficient. They do have seating, coffee, and a microwave

Must try bakery. Very fresh and so many options. Tried the Dewberry cream square (so good!) Also the strawberry croissant and a slice of peach pie. So so good. A bit sweet but great - so many options for pie

Don't go in there if you're not from there. Pastries are good, the side eyes are not. Needless to say we took them to-go.

If you're in the area, this is a great spot to grab some kolaches. The staff is friendly and the treats are good. There's plenty of seating inside. I recommend getting there early, because late in the day supplies are limited in the popular ones. Parking: Plenty of parking.

Got sausage rolls while traveling. Get down the road and they are ice cold, didn't even heat any of them. Terrible

The four Pi-Heads (of Bastrop) are in full uniform visiting the Kountry Bakery in Schulanburg. We are on a monthly Pie trip, a new one every month. Everything was nice including the friendly staff. Great pie!

We were driving from El Paso to Houston and checked the reviews for somewhere to get tasty kolaches along the way. We called ahead to ensure our preferred fillings would be available. Glad we did. The person who took our order was friendly and helpful. The dough had the perfect hint of sweetness. The pan sausage, cheese, and jalapeño filling was delicious. The fruit kolaches were excellent as were the poppy seed. This place is definitely worth a stop. They close at 2pm on Saturdays and are closed on Sundays, so plan accordingly.
