Kolaches in Lafayette

People in Lafayette like to pass a good time. But when you have too much of a good time, you may need a rescue remedy in the morning. Enter kolaches. For the rest of the country, a kolache is a sweet, fruit-filled puff pastry sometimes coated with a sugary glaze. But in Lafayette, we like everything salty and spicy. The kolaches you will find here are savory - think glorified pigs in the blanket. We like to take fillings like boudin, sausage, egg, ham and cheese, jalapenos, or anything else that makes a fantastic breakfast and wrap it with a biscuit or bread-like dough. A kolache or two is a popular office treat or a cure for your headache from too much bon temps. Here’s where you can find some of the best ones around town.
