The Kolache Factory Carmel takes the popular food of the Czech Republic and puts a modern twist on it. A kolache is a warm, delicious, slightly sweet fresh-baked pastry traditionally filled with sausage, cheese, or fruit. Like our ancestors, we at Kolache Factory, make our dough daily from scratch, using the finest, freshest ingredients. The Kolache Factory is a nationally recognized chain, which originated in Houston, Texas in 1982. With over 40 stores nationwide, the on-the-go food is becoming more accessible to a larger population.
