Please keep the food posts! I love them!

My Czech grandma made fig, prune, or apricot kolachen when I was a kid. The only place I’ve ever been where they were close to Grandma’s was a little place somewhere in the DFW area. I don’t remember exact where anymore, but they were close!

In a pinch I default to my hometown bakery that is closest to Grandma’s nut and poppyseed Kolachi. They ship anywhere.

On the Northbound side of IH-35 in Texas.

The town of West — Osteen’s kolache stop — was one of the state’s Czech hubs. The town, approximately 76 miles from Dallas, bills itself dually as: “Czech Heritage Capital Texas” and “Home of the official kolache of the Texas Legislature.”

While you can find kolaches almost anywhere in the United States, outside of Texas, they remain most popular in areas where Czech immigrants settled, such as Nebraska, Wisconsin and Oklahoma.

But for generations, Texans have flocked to West, and especially to the Czech Stop, to satisfy their kolache cravings.

Barbara Schissler, one of the Czech Stop owners, said the range of kolache flavors has expanded as non-Czechs have discovered kolaches. Aside from the traditional kolache fillings — prune, poppy seed and cream cheese — the menu also includes pineapple, cherry and pineapple among others.
