[Beaumont] Rao's Bakery


Gorgeous seemingly upscale bakery and cafe, but with very fair prices. This is the Beaumont location but there are a handful of locations in the area.
Rao's serves various pastries, drinks, and to-die-for gelato.







I got a schnecken (buttery sweet roll with raisins, top image) and a kolache (sausagewrapped in a blanket, lower). I got my kolache with cheese and jalapeƱo. Kolaches seem to be only found in the south. They are delicious and surprisingly filling.






And a spiced chia tea (here she is making it for me!)









The menu is way too extensive for only one trip. Egg and olive sandwich, you're mine!
