Plate I — A Welcome

Four generations.
One small bakery.

Anton Holzapfel opened a bakery on South Tenth Street in 1912. His daughter married a man named Olsen. Their grandson is still here every Tuesday morning at four, mixing dough.

Plate III — The Family

From Holzapfel
to Olsen.

Anton Holzapfel came over from Hungary in 1909, opened the bakery on South Tenth Street in 1912, and was famous for two things: a Saturday-morning rye that brought half of Little Bohemia to his door, and a willingness to feed anyone who didn’t have a nickel.

His daughter married a Norwegian baker named Olsen in 1948. Their grandson runs the shop now. Same address. Same hours. Same kolache recipe Anton wrote down on the back of a flour-sack tag in 1916, which we have framed by the register.

Plate V — A Few Words

What folks say
when they leave with a box.

“Best kolache in Omaha. I drive thirty minutes from Bellevue every Saturday and she’s often sold out by the time I get there. Set the alarm.”

— Yelp · 5 stars Margaret D.

“My grandfather brought my mother here. My mother brought me. I bring my kids. Four generations of Sundays — though now we have to come on Saturday.”

— Google · 5 stars Tomas R.

“The pumpkin cake donut shouldn’t be as good as it is. There’s no reason a donut should make you that emotional.”
