"The Original Kolache Shoppe opens at 5am, which is when you should show up. Opened in 1956, the tiny bakery sells out of its half-dozen varieties of kolaches nearly every day. Classic sausage and cheese kolaches have a slim outer shell of sweet, puffy bread; the pastrami gets stuffed into flat, rectangular pastries that look like crimped Hot Pockets; and sweet layers of raspberry jam are folded into butter-crisp triangles. The Original Kolache Shoppe is an old-school classic for a reason, and one bite of the perfectly sweet and savory kolaches will tell you why." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
