Kolaches & beyond: Eva B’s vision extends to India

Anjali and Seenu Jallipalli named Eva B.’s Bakery & Cafe after their 3-year-old daughter, Eva. In addition to kolaches, try cinnamon rolls for $1.50 each and hot chai latte for $2.50. Photos by Mike Sutter.

Even though Eva B’s Bakery & Cafe has been open in the shopping center at South Congress Avenue and Oltorf Street since April, the Eva B’s “Grand Opening” banner still draws attention to the former site of the Big Kolache bakery.

A variety of sausage, ham, spinach and sweet kolaches, along with cinnamon rolls and croissants, fill the cases at Eva B’s — owned by Anjali and Seenu Jallipalli and named for their 3-year-old daughter — and the menu has expanded to include lunchtime panini sandwiches.

The Jallipallis are planning to add dishes from their native India, as well as a line of gluten-free and organic baked goods. In the meantime, paninis such as a Venetian turkey with basil pesto, a Torino roast beef with Vidalia onion compote and an eggplant Vegetariano with apricot mango wasabi are $5.95 for a whole sandwich or $5 for a half-sandwich with chips and a drink.

Kolaches range from $1.34 to $1.67, and the bakery also serves coffee drinks and a sweet, spicy chai latte.

(2407-A S. Congress Ave. 383-9050, www.evabeecafe.com. Open 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Mondays-Fridays, 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturdays-Sundays.)
