I live where kolaches are common, since many Czech people moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa in the US long ago. I've mentioned the food item to people in Texas, and they love them, but they expected meat in them, rather than fruit. Seeing this video showed me even more variants the Texans have come up with.

As for learning Czech, I still think we would learn better if the term was taught at the start of the video, and then incorporated into the video a few times, enough for us to get used to hearing it in context.

Aaah, the vegan restaurant on Nerudova is supposed to be kept secret 😊. Now it will be impossible to get a table there 😅

I'm from Texas and it's really neat that something that I've grown up enjoying (the savory "Kolache") has made it all the way back to its roots. Full circle. Very, very cool.

There was a place in Houston that used to make traditional fruit/ sweet Czech kolaches (as we Texans spell it) and I only got to eat there once before they closed.

I’m Slovak living in Texas, the Czech Stop about an hour away, just stopped there and brought home a few Kolace. Showed my wife your video to demonstrate what they are and realized you mentioned the same shop in Texas!

I just went to Prague with my dad and it was amazing, thank you so much for your videos, they helped us a lot to find all of the fun/nice places to visit 😄 I’ll definitely be coming back

In Austria we also like our "(Topfen-)Golatschen". I always wondered where the name comes from. Makes sense that it comes from our neighbours :)

[gruncletim]

I've been to the Czech Stop in West, Texas. It is indeed a must-visit location if you are traveling along I-35.

You lads never run out of ideas, keep it up!

So cool to see you mention Vegan's! As a vegetarian I couldn't try a lot of traditional Czech food when I was in Prague last year, but I had their goulash and bread dumplings and they were delicious. Highly recommend for any vegetarian/vegan travellers!

[kreonsunvernunft]

in austria there are also similar pastries which are called "golatsche". the one seen in the video are named "bohemian golatsche" here in austria. mahlzeit!

[dontplayplay]

if i have enough money to travel, i will definitely go to czech and try kolacherie ♥

[traditionalswiss]

I visited the "Kolacherie". Delicious "Kolaches", great coffe, friendly English speaking staff, reasonable prices, THE place to go when in Prague! Thanks for recommending it guys!

[kexcz]

As an Czech, and blueberry koláč enjoyer, I agree. <3 Also, for anyone curious, here are some other TRADITIONAL czech tips : Hořické trubičky ("pipes" from Hořice), Spa wafers ( lázeňské oplatky), perník/ Pardubický perník (gingerbread? XD. Its so different I cant compare it like so), Malinovka ( raspberry limonade), ;)

[maxpop]

Thank u so much Janek I’m in Prague rn and already went to three places you recommended

Kolache Festival happens every year in a town near me in Texas. It's the real kolaches, the sweet ones, like in this video. They're fantastic

[adrianramirez]

I'm Texan and went to Prague in September and had a kolach from Kolacherie almost every morning. They're great and the staff is great.

[thmer]

funny thing is i mentioned honest guide to my mates while in prague in a trdlnik shop and they started whispering 😂

[fuzlet]

fun fact: kołacz (simmilar to kolac, pronounced nearly the same) in polish is the equivalent to trdelnik in czech

[fdYkn]

In Austria we have something similar called exactly the same, but spelled differently: Golatsche

[j.b.]

I've been to that Czech Bakery in Texas (the original before it burned down) and the kolach were amazing!! I haven't been back that way in years, but I never forgot them :)
