Kolache or Klobasnek?
Kolaches came to Texas with Czech immigrants who settled in the Hill Country. The original kolache is a round yeast pastry with a sweet filling, like fruit or cheese, in the center.
The sausage versions have a different Czech name: klobasnek. It uses the same yeast dough but wraps a savory filling, and it is often long, like a sausage roll. Buc-ee’s, like most of Texas, calls both of them kolaches.
Kolache (sweet)
Round, open-faced, with fruit or cream cheese in the middle. At Buc-ee’s: Cream Cheese, Cherry, Strawberry Cream Cheese for $2.29.
Klobasnek (savory)
Dough wrapped around a sausage. At Buc-ee’s: Sausage Cheese, Sausage Jalapeño Cheese and Boudin for $3.44.

|---|---|---|
| 12 sweet kolaches | 12 × $2.29 | $27.48 |
| 12 savory kolaches | 12 × $3.44 | $41.28 |
| Half and half (6 + 6) | 6 × $2.29 + 6 × $3.44 | $34.38 |

When to Get Kolaches Best 4:00 to 10:30 AM
Savory kolaches are part of breakfast, which Buc-ee’s FAQ lists from 4:00 AM to 10:30 AM. After 10:30 AM the kitchen changes over to lunch, so the savory ones can run low. The sweet ones sit in the bakery case, and the store is open 24 hours.
