Hey y’all, I’m Michael, a proud Texan who’s made it my mission to bring the true taste of Houston to Tennessee, one kolache at a time. Growing up in the heart of Texas, I was surrounded by the mouthwatering aroma of fresh-baked kolaches. These savory, (and sometimes sweet) treats are more than just pastries to me—they’re a piece of home.

Having lived in Houston for most of my life, I’ve always loved the rich, cultural diversity and the incredible food scene. Once I moved to Tennessee, I realized the one thing this beautiful state was missing was a proper kolache. That’s when the idea hit: why not bring a little slice of Texas with me?

Here at Early Bird Kitchen, I’m sharing the kolaches I grew up with—fluffy, warm, and bursting with flavor. I use the finest ingredients, all made fresh and ready to satisfy your cravings. Whether you’re looking for something hearty and flavorful to start your day or a savory snack to get you through, I’ve got something for every taste.

I’m passionate about supporting local businesses and using quality ingredients, and my kolaches reflect that. Every bite takes you straight to Texas, no matter where you are in Tennessee. I can’t wait to share my love for these delicious pastries with you.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy these little pieces of Texas as much as I do!

Feel free to reach out if you’ve got questions or if you just want to chat about the best way to enjoy your kolache!
