My new friends over at Goldee’s in Fort Worth told me to stop at the Czech Stop in the way to Waco for kolaches. Your post totally hits the nail on the head. Nothing like what you see at the Mary Lee donuts and other small donut shops. My wife got the cream cheese and I got a ham and cheese. She said hers was amazing and it was worth the extra few minutes on the drive.

Hruskas off 71 near Elgin is the must stop.

A bad kolache can ruin your opinion. Kolache Kitchen in NOLA is single handedly ruining the city's opinion on kolaches.




Lol wut.

Kolache Kitchen-the original in BR, still pumps out great high end kolaches. Bacon and cheese, Pattons Hot Sausage, Boudin.

Maybe NOLA doesn’t know what a good kolache is.

If it has a sausage or other meat in it, it is not a kolache but a klobasnek. We try to stop at Village Bakery in West, which was probably the first kolache shop in Texas, when we go to Austin. West has a huge Czech and polish population and many there still speak their mother tongue.

It is pitiful how long it took for the Czech Kolaches in West to be mentioned.

Green's Sausage House in Zabcikville, Tx west of Temple, Tx has Kolaches to die for! We will drive 30 miles out of our way to get the Kolaches and fresh sausage which is the best sausage in the world period! Put that sausage on the grill and then put it on a fresh piece of Evangeline Made Bread with some mustard and that my friend is heavenly!

My wife of 40 years parents were Hungarian immigrants who settled in Perth Amboy NJ. Their traditional Kolaches are a fruit filled pastry..

Timely post cause wife made her Holiday Kolaches and roll cakes yesterday. Most use Solo cake and pastry filling in poppyseed, cherry, raspberry and almond flavors.


The pastry is made day before and refrigerated for 24hrs.


Didn't have a lotta pics but heres final product (about 300 pastries) and 1 plate we took to a gathering last night an another 2 plates we delivered to a local nursing home...

They freeze extremely well and we'll have them often for the holidays, just thaw what we need...

Partly agree.

The ham and cheese kolache at Kolache Kitchen almost made me say 'never again'. Then, I had their Patton's hot sausage kolachy, as well as a ranchero.

I'm now a regular.

Probably because it’s practically in fricking Waco. No one wants to send people there. I like the kolaches in West, but they are not better than Lagrange, Schulenberg, Weimar, or Ellinger going out west.

Clearly are single or dumb. The Magnolia shite has increased the traffic 20x what it was to the city since it's been built.

Plenty of people also go to West solely for the kolaches and food in general. When I was at Baylor it was all people from out of town would want at 2 a.m. after the bars.

The best I have had are from Kolache Rolf's LINK in College Station. The bacon, cheese, jalapeno



Pic doesn't do it justice but they mix in everything and bake.

klobasniky/Klobasnek.

I make my own from Pillsbury backing sheets, sausage and thin cut sharp cheddar.

West is the epicenter of kolachedom. And I-35 through west is one of the busiest travel corridors in the country.
