Life is very unfair.

The ones in Texas are way better and about 1/4 the price. Fail. The kolaches in these pictures do not look good at all. The ones in Texas are way better and about 1/4 the price. Fail.

You can either get them filled with fruit jam and served open-faced, or wrap the kolache dough aroudn a sausage with cheese and jalapeno. The texture is to die for, seriously -- but the kolaches in these pictures don't look nearly pillowy enough.

These do not look authentic at all--very chainified. However, I'll still be there as soon as they open just to see if they have some of my favorite fruit flavors such as peach, cherry, and prune, each of which has a little sprinkling of cheese on top.

I've never seen them topped with veggies and whatnot, but I grew up on them in Houston. We would go through a couple dozen from the Kolache Factory on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Can't wait for them to get here to Midtown. Yum. Kolaches are delicious. I’ve never seen them topped with veggies and whatnot, but I grew up on them in Houston.

I have been living here for about 10 years now and have been sure that this was the only culinary void left in this city. I even called the Czech Embassy awhile back to see if they knew something I didn't. They didn't. I have been waiting for this restaurant to open for over a year now. I have no idea what those first photos are, I have never seen a kolache like that. I am only familiar with last photo, pig in a blanket style, oozing with ham and cheese. In Texas they are about a dollar and after a hard night of boozing, you can easily tear through a dozen before starting at it again. Oh, finally!
