"Bringing a bit of the Czech Republic to the hearts and stomachs of Ohioans, Kolache Republic is a neighborhood staple in German Village for its eponymous pastries. Somewhere between a classic yeast doughnut and a Danish, each kolache is filled with ingredients like blueberry cheese, sweet cheese, and sausage with egg and cheese, among others. Visit in November for the popular Thanksgiving kolache filled with juicy roasted turkey and house-made stuffing, served with a side of cranberry sauce and gravy." - Angela Lee
