I googled "green's kolache" and found a shop in Temple. Is that the right place?

Zabcikville, but near Temple yes

Amusing debate here..... I was talking to a Czech coworker, last name Cech, whose family settled in rural Nebraska. First thing he said to me when he found out I was in Texas, "what do you call a roll with sausage in it?" I answered, "a klobasnek like my Czech duck hunting buddies from Fayette County taught me." He said "right answer, most Texans are very confused about what a kolache is!"

Prasek's poppy seed kolaches are pretty dang good!

If you want to know what it is called in Texas, go around and ask who wants a klobasnek. You will get one nerd at his computer that gleefully raises his hand and the rest of the room will have no idea what you are talking about.

Announce that there are kolaches in the breakroom and provide fruit pastries then marvel at the WTF faces as the burly crowd grab their pitch forks.

In Texas it is Waterburger and Sausgae Kolache and the facts simply do not apply.

We'll win this war, but we'll win it only by fighting and by showing the Germans that we've got more guts than they have, or ever will have. We're not going to just shoot the sons-of-b******, were going to rip out their living G*******d guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun c********** by the bushel-f****** basket. War is a bloody killing business. You've got to spill their blood or they will spill yours. Rip them up the belly. Shot them in the guts.

I sometimes prefer authentic open-faced kolaches. Reminds me of my days in the Moravian highlands:


Of course, my doctor says I need to cut down on carbs, so these low carb kolaches straight from Prague really hit the spot:



But nothing tops the genuine kolaches my Babka made when I was a kid:

The Original Kolache Shop in Houston is the best H-town has

It's amazing. Apparently in business since the 1950s, and deservedly so.

Im glad my grandparents taught me right. I had never heard a pig in the blanket being called a Kolache until I was an adult and around fake Texans. It was very confusing times

Czech Stop isn't even the best in West.


Lol this is cute. To be fair, its not just you though. Several others are trying really hard too.

Venison kolache at kolache shop in celina. Kolache is size of a small football. Sausage casing has just the right snap. Spicy enough that you decide you cant finish it in one go, so you put it aside, only to be having to have another bite in two minutes and wind up finishing it in 10. Best ive had. Brisket kolache a little soggy. Get venison.

Great klobsnk too (often mistakenly called sausage kolaches).

Someone took a look at the right word with too many consonants, got tired head, and said "let's just call them sausage kolaches".

+1 for Four Czechs in Fate, because my brother '81 kids own it. ALL their food is made from scratch, never pre-made frozen stuff.
They can absolutely tell you what is a kolach and what is a klobasnek, and it's not up for debate, it's our heritage.
Green's is good, as is the Kolache Kitchen in Temple. Used to be a place in Belton called The Little Bohemian Bakery that wasn't bad, not sure they're still open.

My Czech great-great grandfather started a little community called Roznov in Fayette County. My great grandmother made awesome kolaches. of all different types. My favorites had sausage from Green's, which we took her to several times a year. We called them 'sausage kolaches'. Might not technically be the right term, but they were wonderful.

Popular doesn't equal best. By your logic, McDonalds is the best hamburger in the world.

My house. You bring the whiskey (2 bottles). I will make the kolaches. By the time they are ready, we will be so trashed and they will be the best dam thing you've ever eaten. We can watch the game as well

We are only in an area that has Czech kolaches when we go to College Station. We really enjoy Kolache Rolfs. It's what my son wants us to pick up on Saturday Mornings on our way to his house. My favorite is the peach.

Are there better Kolaches in B/CS?

Dude, they serve that many per day because they're right on the highway and have gas pumps. Next time you're in West, go a little further into town and hit up Gerick's. Czech Stop is good. Gerick's is better.

You still have to hit Czech Stop for the jalapeno cheese bread.

The fact that we need to be inebriated to enjoy your kolache isn't encouraging.

oh, come on! Bread, meat, cheese, jalapeños. How bad can they be? Although I will say that every Shipley's is a little different, even around Waco. The Woodway one knows how to make them right. I've had them in Houston before and they're pathetic.

The biggest problem with the Shipley ones are that they use hot dog weenies instead of good sausage.

The one in Clute uses Schlovcheck sp sausage, they are on point

They were chosen to be the breading for all of the Buccees. went through the process.

Didn't want to give up their recipe, so parted ways. Found that to be crazy.

Hopefully you recovered, Ts&Ps. The realtiy is that the overwhelming majority of Texans call them kolaches and have no idea what a klobasnek is. I'm in my 50s, and pig in the blanket and kolache were inter-changeable in my house. I never heard of a klobasnek until just a few years ago when these "debates" started popping up on the internet.

IDGAS what anyone calls them but when you use klobasnek and get that look, don't be surprised. If you have Czech roots, or live in a heavy Czech community, I get it. Does'nt change the reality. Also does'nt change the fact that if you find good ones you can be closer to God for 15 minutes.

In Texas, it is Waterburger and sausage kolache!!

I have flown down the highway in a station wagon, in the rear facing back seat, no seatbelt, signaling truckers for a horn honk, whilst my grandparents drank CC7 and smoked cigs. My childhood was glorious and ensured no manicured beard, fancy haircut, or capri pants would ever sound like a good idea. Thank you Jesus and grandpa.
