Soup �, hot cocoa, great bakery atmosphere! A definite place to go everyday!
Flat Stanley was visiting us from Sherman Oaks, CA, so I had to take him to Sykora’s Bakery for a fresh cherry kolach. It’s a Cedar Rapids treasure since 1903!
Was SOOOO good and an awesome establishment.....great visit with owner and staff there!
Love this place! The owner is so nice! Great food and desserts!
Great place to stop and get some kolaches, just like the ones my great-grandma used to make!
Business that's been around for over 100 years. Items are baked fresh daily! Have to try the "Bohemian" hamburger (poppyseed on a sweet roll)... it's awesome!
Lot of history in this building. See the refurbished oven front on display. Has doors that were used to add wood and coal to fires for baking before gas was made available. May 2022.

My Mother made kolaches when I was a kid. I was born in Cedar Rapids but now live in Fort Lauderdale. I visited Cedar Rapids to see family and knew I wanted to go to Czech Village in search of Kolaches. My Aunt knew exactly where to go, Sykora. We arrived and saw they were in the middle of a renovation. We were greeted and of course I knew exactly what I wanted a blueberry Kolache. My Aunt got a raspberry coconut bar. I was transported back to Mom's kitchen. Mission accomplished. Sykora has more than Kolaches, and it all looked delicious. You wont be disappointed.
I love this place. Great prices for quality Czech baked goods. I used to come here every Wednesday after school, before work, always a great selection, always chill, always worth it.
It’s never super busy when I’m here so it has a nice ambiance. This is the place to go for a great Czech bakery experience. A living legend of Cedar Rapids.
100 year old bakery that stays true to their Czech kolache recipe. During the (non covid) summers, the owner says that he sells out 120 of dozens (sets of 12) of the kolaches on a Saturday! And I can see why. The kolache's filling wasn't too sweet, the dough was light, soft, and fluffy.
Lots of unique filling too (about 10). There's blackberry, strawberry, pear, key lime, cherry, pineapple, apricot and so on.
The current owner, John, was also a very friendly guy! He's owned the business for 20 years, and during the slow New Years Eve morning, he came to sit and talked with us. Knew a lot, history and world culture too.
Really lovely guy and great food and snack options! Also cheap! The spread was less than $15!
He even gave us some pastries for free as it was our first time visiting 😭❤️🤗
Would drop by again if I'm ever passing by.

A must visit for anyone in the area, tourist and local alike! I grew up coming here with my grandma and happily share the tradition with my kids anytime we come to Cedar Rapids
