American Kolache

3600 Broadway , Quincy, IL 62301

Restaurants

American classics stuffed in the most delicious sweet dough. Made fresh by hand every morning, 7 days a week.

Although many people associate kolaches with Texas, the pastry actually originated in the Czech Republic. Czech immigrants brought the traditional fruit-filled koláče to Texas in the late 1800s, where generations of bakers eventually adapted the recipe by filling the soft, slightly sweet dough with sausage, eggs, cheese and other savory ingredients. While those meat-filled pastries are technically called klobásníky, most Americans simply know them as kolaches. Come get yours fresh in Quincy while they last!
