In 1979, Clarence and Evelyn Besetsny opened the Original Kountry Bakery on Highway 77 in Schulenburg. With fresh ingredients straight from the family farm, this unassuming roadside stop has quickly become a Texas icon.

Evelyn is of Czechoslovakian descent; Clarence, German. Traditional pastries, like these kolaches made using a recipe passed down from Evelyn's grandmother, are bursting with delicious authenticity in each bite.

Flavors include apricot, peach, poppyseed, strawberry, prune, and several more -- including specialty offerings like mango, blueberry, lemon, and dewberry. Any filling can be mixed with cream cheese to balance out the sweetness with a little tang.

Other pastries include various fruit bars, apple strudel, poppyseed roll, turnovers, donuts, and muffins. The bakery also serves klobásníky, or pigs-in-a-blanket, plus lunch items like burgers, sandwiches, and catfish.
