They are located across the road from the Wal*Mart in Massaponix (near Chilli's & American Family Fitness). Try the cream cheese Kolaches. They are wonderful! http://www.kolachehousebakery.com for more info.
don't need dates of employment history. Not really a bakery with rye breads and such, just a pastry item. Location is off the beaten path as one has to make it a special trip. Wish them the best thou.
what they sell.... I understand it's a bakery but it would be nice to know a little bit about some of their baked goods. I want to go check them out.....I think they are located across the street from the Southpointe Wal-Mart in Spotsy.
Is that too much to ask? Are they in Stafford? Spotsy? Orange? Maybe I am just missing that detail.
