When it comes to food, we do things a little differently (and better!) here in West Virginia. Case in point: the hot dog pastry. In most places in America, if you ask for a ‘hot dog pastry,’ you’ll likely get home to find some tiny hot dog baked inside some froofroo, lightweight, puffy pastry. But not in the Mountain State, especially at this small historic bakery in South Charleston that invented this delight. Some people say this bakery makes the best hot dog pastries in West Virginia.

Here, and pretty much everywhere else in the state, a hot dog pastry is a dessert — an unforgettable, sweet, soft, creamy, and delightful dessert.

The Spring Hill Pastry Shop lays claim to inventing the hot dog pastry and since theirs is the original, it’s still the best.

Since 1948, they’ve been operating from the same location day after day creating pastries, pies, cookies, danishes, donuts, and specialty cakes for generations of families.

And quite frankly, it’s a little difficult to ride by their showroom and spot their delicious treats from the street through their huge plate glass windows! It’s safe to say that nobody leaves without something from their freshly baked goods. Their colorful and flavorful creations will have you coming back for more.

And while other places in West Virginia make their own hot dog pastry, there is only one place where you can get the original. Go ahead and get yours with a chocolate drizzle over the top. You deserve it!
