5 Best Czech Pastries to Try in Prague

Let's explore the world of Amazing Traditional Czech Pastries! We will show you what they look like, what they are made of and where you can buy them during your visit to Prague.

The no.1 pastry everyone should try is Kolache, in Czech "Koláč". Kolache, is super popular in Texas today, but we wonder whether people in Texas know that this popular pastry is originally from the Czech Republic! And oh boy did it change its appearance.

Other unique pastries we will cover in this video are "buchta", "bábovka", strudel, and "kobliha". Yummy!

You are doing a grand job in bridging the real gap, between folk whose first / only language is English, and the extraordinarily difficult language, which is Czech.

Kolache’s is why I married a Bohemian Czech 45 years ago. The Czech Slovak National Museum in Cedar Rapids, Iowa was only 30 miles away. My wife introduced me to Sokora’s Bakery in Czech Village on 16th Avenue. They still sell all kinds of Czech pastries every day.

My favorite channel from Prague just made me hungry... I am a little old to say buchta to you Valerie, but I still look forward to Thursday for your video's!

[hedielabidi]

Valery, you are the best Buchta of all Czech Republic !

[jonathanalbuquerque]

My wife and I are visiting from Canada. We are binge-watching your videos and finding them extremely helpful - thank you !!!

OMG Valery !!!, I think this was the best video you have made ... I am still drooling. It brings me so much memories ... Forget the castles, but kolace, buchty a babovky ... "to je historie"

Coming from Texas I have to admit I've always been confused why the sausage roll things are also called kolaches. When I think of kolache I think of a sweet pastry w fruit filling and it's closer to the traditonal pastry (but made with white flour and missing the poppy seed). Now I really feel the need to travel back to Prague and do a more in depth comparison between our imitation kolaches and the real thing. 😀

As a Hungarian I like to think that Trdelník is originally a Hungarian pastry called "kürtőskalács". In Poland they sell it as "kołacz węgierski".

Loving the fact that you have ventured into the wonderful world of food reviewing. Well done and thanks for another wonderful video.

YUMM!!! I saw this pop up just as I was going to lunch. Should I watch it before, or get my lunch then watch it? I made the wrong choice and watched it first. I love the variety of content, all with a focus on Czech culture. How could anyone watch this and not want to jump a plane and go to Prague. I think I will go out and get me a klobasniky. That is what we call a sausage kolache here in Texas.

Oh yes. Every morning in Prague we went to the bakery, bought a cake and drank milk for it. Our accommodation was near Hastalska.

I loved all the sneks! Especially the sinple ones with just cheese and leek

[saleevelasquez]

I love babovka the most. It’s very similar to indonesian traditional homemade cake that my mom used to make for me when i was a kid 🙂🤤❤️

[damienoneill]

Think you enjoyed that episode Valery. You are definitely like the first Pastry 🤗

Thank you for featuring other baked products. In my hectic schedule there, didn't manage to look for bakeshops. Though we have something similar to Buchta, no filling and baked together, though separately served called Dinner rolls (or in Spanish is called Pan de Leche); Babobka like our crumbly, chiffon-like marble cake; Makovec similar to the texture of Carrot Cake with some variation having sweet, dry syrup on top too; Kolache but with the sausage inside with so soft bread (but said it's Klobasnek in one comment) & has a variation with quick-melt cheese on top of bread; Kobliha, we got the same tall, round shape but so soft called Bonete only, there are scattered raisins in it. Some names are in Spanish because we have many Spanish terms after being ruled by Spain for 300 years in the earlier centuries.
