Last year, we tried something new to celebrate Pi Day – 3.14, or March 14 – a contest to win pecan pie. Anyone who recited 10 digits would win a slice of pecan pie, and those who could recite 25 digits (75 for 2017) won a whole pecan pie. Well, little did we know, but so many smart school children were practicing for two whole weeks to learn all the […]

This month, we are celebrating five years of business at our Memorial location. Someone described the time as half a decade, and I could only say in response – wow! Our growth happened because of Hurricane Ike – talk about making lemonade out of lemons. It was a line in the sand that Three Brothers Bakery had survived the storm and was moving on to a new chapter. While rebuilding, […]

Love is in the air, or maybe it’s the sugar from all the Valentine’s Day treats we’re making at Three Brothers Bakery! This special time of year has arrived again when everyone needs to get a sweet something for the special person in their life to show their love. I keep hoping someone will get engaged at the bakery again like one couple did in 2014. IMG_4936.MOV (1) Believe it […]

Laissez les bon temps rouler! It’s already time for the first holiday season of 2017 here at the bakery – Mardi Gras season! It kicks off every year on January 6, but the length of the season varies on the date of Fat Tuesday. This year, we are lucky to have a long Mardi Gras season since Fat Tuesday does not fall until February 28. We used to make our […]

Hello again! After taking a hiatus from writing the Three Brothers Bakery blog, I, Janice, am back behind the keyboard to write. I look forward to sharing many more of my personal stories and experiences once more here on this site. This feels like an appropriate way to kick off the year because 2016 was not a particularly fun one for us, like I suspect it might not have been […]

Three years ago, you may remember the serendipitous occurrence known as Thanksgivukkah when the holidays of Thanksgiving and the beginning of Hanukkah happened to fall on the same day. (That was a once-in-70,000 years’ overlap, so don’t count on another one of such celebrations in your lifetime.) But don’t fret too much because 2016 gives us another fun holiday crossover! This year, say hello to Chrismukkah: the first night of […]

After 67 years serving the Houston community, Three Brothers Bakery continues to grow thanks to the tremendous support of our friends and neighbors. We have loved sharing so many memories with you all and look forward to many more. One joy that you might not see – but the effects of which are always felt – is when we have the opportunity to represent the bakery at conferences across the […]

Now that December has arrived, your mind may automatically be fixated on whatever holiday awaits you at the end of the month – Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa. But before you get too carried away, don’t forget everything else we have to celebrate in the meantime! This Friday, December 9, is National Pastry Day – a national day we are more than happy to celebrate! Amidst all the holiday-themed cookies and […]

With Thanksgiving behind us, we wanted to take a few moments to reflect back on all we have to give thanks for in 2016. We are thankful to have seen so many fans of math – or at least good memorizers – on Pi Day. We ran out of pecan pie at all our locations before closing because so many visitors had memorized 10 digits of Pi to get a slice […]

As Thanksgiving passes and the kids start to make their Christmas and Hanukkah lists, we want to take a moment to reflect on the true spirit of the holiday season: giving, not getting. At Three Brothers Bakery, we are fortunate to have been given so much. Our founding brothers – Sigmund, Max and Sol – knew firsthand that many of the luxuries we tend to take for granted were far […]
