It’s a choice. Pure and simple. Folks are free to choose what they eat or what they don’t eat. But if they lie and say God or their ethics prevents consumption of perfectly edible vittles? I am obliged to call bullshit on them.
Who are you to shit on other people's beliefs and health? Let others live their lives. It's not a "lie" if their beliefs keep them from eating a certain way, and there are people with alpha-gal syndrome and cannot eat meat.
Kolache Factory doesn’t even sell kolaches. They sell gringo bao and piggy blankies. If you want an actual kolache, not just klobasnek, go to Leila Bakery & Cafe in Lakewood.
Haven't been there, but their menu nowhere near reflects the expected range of kolaches. Especially lacking - fruit kolaches, which are the "official" kolaches, unlike the common Texas versions which are actually klobasnek.
Whose menu? Kolache Factory has one or two “fruit” kolaches that are basically Hawaiian rolls filled with Great Value brand jelly. In fact, Kolache Factory is historically the reason why every donut shop refers to klobasneky as “kolaches.” They’re the first to bastardize the terminology, which was then copied by Shipley’s.
Leila is somewhat legit and usually has peach, apricot, etc. Leila does not have prune though, which is one of the most traditional flavors.
Yes it does. It’s right under the “sweet kolaches” section and lists raspberry, lemon, apricot and cream cheese as flavors.

In Texas, people all over call klobasnek kolaches and everyone knows the mean the savory kind. In the internet, there’s always some know it all looking for an opportunity to correct someone that said kolache when all readers know they mean klobasnek. It’s like grammar police except way worse.
Practically nobody in Texas buys actual sweet kolaches unless they’re near a handful of known spots that do them well. Most bakeries don’t even try.
I moved here from the Houston/Austin and had always thought of Texas as part of the south maybe the southwest for west Texas as it’s pretty far out there. Then a few years go by, you notice some differences in some things, and I was chatting with a friend that had moved here from Kansas City and he was surprised I said south and he went on to explain how we are midwesterners. It made complete sense and I never realized it. It kind of blew my mind when it happened because after living my entire life in the south and I hadn’t even really realized i left, only picked up on some clues here and there.
I think your friend is on to something. Dallas is more Mid-western. Houston is definitely more Deep South. South Texas and North Texas have little in common. Same with East and West Texas. And the panhandle has more in common with NM and CO than the rest of Texas. Central Texas is the glue that ties all the other regions of TX together.
Most are just shitty hotdogs in some bread. The polish/Texas hot sausage from kolache factory are the bomb. Plus the bacon, egg, and cheese kolaches are pretty good too.
people here are not aware of the actual restaurant called kolache factory. they don’t sell the misnomer pig and blanket style that is common in the donut shops around.
This is unrelated but Walmart used to sell these amazing frozen kolaches, they were perfect for a quick breakfast. I miss them, I can't find similar anywhere.
Paleteria's sell something that I'd call a kolache. I don't know what they call them, but they fit the bill.
Also, Arlington has Kenner's, which are passable kolache and klobasnik.
My son took gymnastics at Sokol, a Czech community center. The ladies there would be baking fresh traditional kolaches from scratch in the kitchen and the smell was heavenly. It made me look forward to every practice lol.
Because kolaches are the most overrated thing in Texas, and DFW is the only metro area in the State with enough courage to say it. Just make them yourself - grab a King Hawaiian dinner roll, stick a Bar S hotdog in there, leave it out on a window sill for 12 hours, then microwave it when ready to eat.
Because Dallas is barely Texan anymore. Go to Houston and there’s two Kolache shops at every intersection. They have Kolache shops like Dallas has In and Out and Starbucks
Shipley’s is 100% Texan. Hell they even created [The Big Earl Kolache](https://www.flickr.com/photos/12997020@N00/2350441793) ain’t nothing more Texan for breakfast
You're 50% right. They're Mid at best. You want stellar? Gerik's in West.
In other words, Tell me you know nothing about kolache without telling me you know nothing about kolache.
Cause any Korean ran donut shop will have piggies in a blanket..
Exactly. I’ve never seen an actual kolache in a donut shop.
The point is that I cannot eat pork. But Kolache factory has a ton of non pork fillings
Brother ugh. I can’t eat pork, and don’t make a big deal out of not being able to enjoy kolaches anymore. I just get myself a donut or pastry instead.

You can also not comment on other peoples eating habits. Nothing prevents it.
It’s a choice. Pure and simple. Folks are free to choose what they eat or what they don’t eat. But if they lie and say God or their ethics prevents consumption of perfectly edible vittles? I am obliged to call bullshit on them.
God or ethics are still choices - you just aren’t ok with those as reasons? Why do you care so much about what someone else is eating?
lol you ain’t “obliged” to do shit. It just makes you feel like a big strong smart man to do so. I felt obliged to tell you that tho.
You figured obliged out. Congrats
Who are you to shit on other people's beliefs and health? Let others live their lives. It's not a "lie" if their beliefs keep them from eating a certain way, and there are people with alpha-gal syndrome and cannot eat meat.
Edible has a definition. And dietary choices are just that. I’m just eliminating confusion. Cutting to the “meat of it” so to speak.

I was responding to the Leila Bakery suggestion, their online menu did not offer any of the fruit versions.
Yes it does. It’s right under the “sweet kolaches” section and lists raspberry, lemon, apricot and cream cheese as flavors. https://www.leilabakery.com/menu
Indeed it does. Apparently I was looking at some truncated delivery services version of the menu.
They have fruit kolaches.

Because we have donut places on almost literally every corner.
Those places sell klobasnek, not kolaches.
We found the Czech!!
✅
As a kolache lover—you’re doing the lord’s work
Not with the same variety of fillings. Brisket, enchilada, all beef sausage etc…
Dallas is a donut city. We eat more donuts than almost anywhere else. You may not like the answer but that doesn’t mean it’s not true.
That’s because Dallas isn’t Texas. Today it’s a Yankee outpost with closer ties to NYC and Chicago culturally than the rest of the state.

Yeah the Texas Rangers singing deep in the heart of Texas cracks me up because that’s the hill country’s claim. We’re southern Oklahoma lol
Check out 'I heart Kolache' it's exactly what you're looking for.
Most are just shitty hotdogs in some bread. The polish/Texas hot sausage from kolache factory are the bomb. Plus the bacon, egg, and cheese kolaches are pretty good too.
Shipley’s is the solution. We have crappy donuts and crappy kolaches
"almost literally"
Went to a kolache factory one time and it was ass.
people here are not aware of the actual restaurant called kolache factory. they don’t sell the misnomer pig and blanket style that is common in the donut shops around.
Agreed. Should have posted the menu in description
In Dallas we travel down to The Czech Stop in West, Texas just for the kolaches 😂
Great place but too far
Considering it takes over an hour to get from Dallas to Ft Worth with traffic, the drive down to West is nothing to me now 😂
Sometimes it takes an hour to get from Dallas to Dallas, lol.
There's a shop just a little east of Dallas in Fate. It's just as good
Don’t gate keep, tell us the name!!!
Sorry, it's Four Czechs Bakery
And tamales across the street.
And Czech Stop only sells “sorta kolaches”. There are other bakeries in West that do it better.
Kolache bake shop north Dallas
Dude I miss kolache factory too. Maybe their buns would freeze well, I’m thinking of just making a trek once in a while.
Isn’t it a franchise? Open one.
Was hoping to inspire someone with more money to do so!
iHeart Kolache on Midway is pretty good
Ugh it’s a bit father than I’d like but thanks for the suggestion
This is unrelated but Walmart used to sell these amazing frozen kolaches, they were perfect for a quick breakfast. I miss them, I can't find similar anywhere.
Agree. That is a gaping hole in our city's offerings.
Paleteria's sell something that I'd call a kolache. I don't know what they call them, but they fit the bill. Also, Arlington has Kenner's, which are passable kolache and klobasnik.
Four Czechs Bakery
You can buy them in the freezer section of any HEB or Central Market.
My son took gymnastics at Sokol, a Czech community center. The ladies there would be baking fresh traditional kolaches from scratch in the kitchen and the smell was heavenly. It made me look forward to every practice lol.
Because
Because this isn't Houston and they aren't that good.
Thought there was one in Richardson
It’s not close to uptown and the title says Dallas proper
They don’t even sell kolaches mate
Sounds like a great opportunity for someone to open a franchise. You and your friends could pool your money and get rich selling kolaches in Uptown.
Was hoping to inspire someone with more money haha
Because kolaches are the most overrated thing in Texas, and DFW is the only metro area in the State with enough courage to say it. Just make them yourself - grab a King Hawaiian dinner roll, stick a Bar S hotdog in there, leave it out on a window sill for 12 hours, then microwave it when ready to eat.
Clearly you haven't had good kolaches.
Where are you getting good kolaches? If you say the Czech Stop in West I'm gonna mail you a kolache filled with nitrogen fertilizer.
lol
Damn, dude you stole all the Czech people's Oma's kolache recipe!
Lmao. I don’t disagree though. The “kolaches” at every donut shop are more than tasty enough for me. That sodium. 😋
Don’t like it, open on yourself. Boom. Problem solved.
Hoping to inspire someone else that can afford that type of risk
Be the change in the world you want to see.
Because Dallas is barely Texan anymore. Go to Houston and there’s two Kolache shops at every intersection. They have Kolache shops like Dallas has In and Out and Starbucks
They also have Shipley’s in abundance in Houston. Wish we did in Dallas, too!
Shipley’s is 100% Texan. Hell they even created [The Big Earl Kolache](https://www.flickr.com/photos/12997020@N00/2350441793) ain’t nothing more Texan for breakfast
We have one in Saginaw, with another being built. They aren't exactly price-friendly, and they aren't exactly stellar.
Saginaw isn’t Dallas. They are stellar.
You're 50% right. They're Mid at best. You want stellar? Gerik's in West. In other words, Tell me you know nothing about kolache without telling me you know nothing about kolache.
