Shipley Do-Nuts introduces bacon, egg and cheese kolaches

Houston, Texas-based donut and kolache brand Shipley Do-Nuts has added one of America’s favorite breakfast items – bacon – to its popular new Egg & Cheese kolache lineup with the introduction of limited-time Bacon, Egg & Cheese kolaches.    

Available through the end of 2024, the kolaches ($3.49) are handmade, stuffed with buttery scrambled egg, applewood-smoked bacon and melted American cheese, and baked fresh daily.

“Our Egg & Cheese kolaches have become the biggest product launch in company history, and with record-breaking response from our guests, we’re putting them on our permanent menu,” says Shipley chief executive officer Flynn Dekker. “Product innovation is driving excitement and record growth for the Shipley brand, and we’re looking forward to introducing more permanent and limited-time new items that will become guest favorites in the coming months and years.”

Shipley, which recently celebrated its 88th birthday, began offering kolaches – a filled pastry originally brought to Texas in the 1800s by Czech settlers – in 1995. Along with the new Egg & Cheese kolaches (also available with crumbled sausage or crumbled sausage and jalapeno), Shipley also offers Ham & Cheese, Sausage, Sausage & Cheese, and Sausage, Cheese & Jalapeno kolaches.  

“Our kolaches offer endless possibilities, and I’m already thinking of additional ways to provide more variety on our menu,” says Shipley Executive chef Kaitlyn Venable. “As we offer more specialty donuts and other new items, guests will have even more delicious reasons to come to Shipley.”
