Best of Cy-Fair: Gulf Coast Bread Pudding Co

Gulf Coast Bread Pudding Company

There are shops that specialize in coffee. There are cake bakers and cookie shops. Then, there’s Gulf Coast Bread Pudding Company.

Max Peters, owner and originator of Gulf Coast Bread Pudding Company opened this unique shop at 17001 FM 529 in late January of 2022. “I saw a hole in the market as a bread pudding lover. Only restaurants serve it and there was no place that offered varieties in bulk. I saw the opportunity to create a one stop shop just like the cupcake and cookie shops,” explains Peters.

Proudly developed by the owner himself, the recipes include delectable offerings such as Banana Rum, Coconut, Vanilla, Creole, White Chocolate, Cherry, Peach and Chocolate. Recommended sauce flavors for each pudding include Salted Caramel, Pecan Praline, Passion Fruit, Bourbon Caramel, Butter Rum, Lemon and Makers Bourbon. (For optimum enjoyment, detailed heating instructions come with each sale). Whether served hot, cold or at room temperature, Gulf Coast strives to offer the community a unique bread pudding experience. Gourmet bread puddings are sold by the slice, as Crusted Bread Puddings such as Crusted Sweet Potato, in “Puddin’ 4 Packs,” and by the pan.

“The Banana Rum is the most popular on our menu: caramelized rum bananas baked inside a vanilla bread pudding with a Nilla Wafer crust,” comments Max. “Our recommended sauce flavor is butter rum. We like to do traditional bread puddings as well as seasonal.”

Customers definitely have their favorites. “Mama’s traditional, (New Orleans style bread pudding with raisins and a sweet creole spice), is my favorite with the rum sauce; It reminds me of my grandmother’s bread pudding,” shares Karla Woods

traditional too! In fact, now that I’m thinking about it, I’ll be heading over to try another flavor this afternoon!”

Rhonda Tichenor, who considers herself a “pro,” adds, “Absolutely, positively one of the best desserts I’ve eaten in a while.”

As for me, the Banana Rum with Butter Rum sauce only served to tantalize my taste buds. I’ll be back Max Peters, I’ll be back.
