Lola Savannah

Lola Savannah was Houston's Texas Pecan roaster for years, sold at HEB and at a 6th Street retail location, with a loyal base for the flavored pecan blend. That past tense matters. Recent reviews report the retail store has closed, the company was acquired by Dunkin, and customers now order online or buy at Central Market. The roaster the city loved for two decades does not exist in the same form anymore.

The Original Texas Pecan switched to a flavored version in plastic bags after the change. Longtime drinkers noticed and said so. If you have been buying the original for years, that is the development to be aware of before your next order, because the bag on the shelf is not the bag you remember even if the label looks close.

What remains is the Texas Pecan in beans or pods, the Malibu blend, and the Breakfast blend, with multiple flavor rotations cycling through alongside them. Shipping is fast and free, which keeps the online side functional for customers who want the brand in some form. Central Market in Houston still carries the line for anyone who wants to put hands on a bag before buying, and HEB distribution covered the broader Texas market for years and still surfaces a version of the lineup.

Texas Pecan fans buying online or at Central Market still have the brand in the cup. The flavored pecan profile that defined the company is still the headline product. Anyone who associated Lola Savannah with the original local-roaster experience, the 6th Street store, and the small-Houston-roaster feel should know that is not what they are getting anymore. The 6th Street store is closed. The roasting and the ownership have moved. The bag in the mail still says Lola Savannah. The version of the operation that built the name is part of the past now, and the customers who keep ordering have made peace with that or have not.
