Reviews of The Original Kolache Shoppe
Aaron R. (7th sage of Sabian)
So fresh! Clean inside, nicest staff on the street. I have been eating here since I can remember. My mother loved this place, and I will continue to visit until I cant. Feels like a kitchen you grew up in. Top quality food, made daily, frequently fresh from the oven while you wait. The coffee and Tea are so tasty as well and should definitely not be overlooked. All around the best fast breakfast choices you can make locally! 😋
Maria Baldit
I love coming to this bakery shop the food is always hot and fresh
The customer service is always on point and they try to get you in and out as quickly as possible.
Parking lot is not the best.
David Kim
The jalapeño cheddar sausage and pina colada kolache were both great in their own way. The savory breading was soft and bouncy, and the pina colada was flaky and buttery. The lemon tart was average
Joel Culpepper
Amazing food and coffee! Don't believe you can't find a better breakfast anywhere. I had the roast beef, cheddar and jalapeño kolache and a pastrami, cheddar and jalapeño kolache. The crust was light as a feather and filling made you crave more! The cappuccino had a deep roasted flavor. Gotta try this place!
Dilrukshi Edirisingha
Even though I'm giving this place three stars, I would rather give them 3.5.
Small, authentic spot with very good items. I love the fact that it's family owned and has been in the same spot for so many years. It's definitely a houston classic.
My only issue is that they don't have enough variety--especially when they are compared to their direct competition, The kolache factory.
The sell coffee, have an outside eating space, and you can see the food made by hand right in front of you. This place certainly has charm. I just wish the menu was more expansive.
I've been here a million times, and will always come back when I'm in the area. If you need any recs, you should go with the chicken fajita kolache. Very flavorful.
M Cruz
This has been a staple for savory and sweet treats for us for years. Always fresh and serviced by the most friendly folks.
A quaint little hole-in-the-wall breakfast nook. Teas and coffees also served here.
There are a handful of seating tables, but it's really a to-go type of place.
Go early if you want the best pick. Made fresh daily, so if it's sold out, you'll have to come back the next day.
Sydney Stelly
Delicious. Great coffee too. Great vibe inside and nice outdoor seating
N Platt
great kolaches. especially roast beef and fajita
no place to sit though so not ada or senior friendly. but worth getting simply the best
F kafka
The short story is this is the best Kolache you’ll ever eat. They make a wide variety and they sell fast so get there early and often. My favorite is the ham and cheese along with anything jalapeño.
Update: still the best Kolache you’ll ever eat.
Waiting in a line is common but worth every minute.
Travis Rodgers
Just incredible. Been on my list to visit for nearly 2 years... The roast beef bacon cheese croissant is a top 5 eat for me in Houston. The blueberry Kolache is better than any sweet Kolache I've had anywhere in Texas (and I've tried all the famous ones). The twists were also pretty great.
Jorge Landaverde
I have seen this little building and driven past it for over a couple decades and now regret not having tried this local staple sooner, but better late than never I suppose.
It was my first time there with my wife and 2 kids.
At first I was surprised at how small it was inside and it felt cramped with other customers there, but we were promptly attended and got our stuff without any issues.
Being our first time there, we were unfamiliar with the menu so we weren't sure about what to order;
We got sausage and cheese kolaches (with and without jalapeños), bacon and cheese kolaches, a cookie, and a couple apple fritters
The apple fritters were phenomenal; so flaky and perfectly sweetened (not too sweet and not too plain.) 🤤
My oldestkid is very picky and was surprised she not only ate 1 but 2 kolaches.
We will likely return to support this awesome multi-generational local establishment.
E Zomb
The Kolache Shoppe is excellent! The food is delicious. The employee’s are very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend trying it out. It’s a very small inside, definitely not enough room to sit down and eat. Try the Peach Tea with honey.
Saul Mata
Sorry, all gone everything we ordered all gone. Best kolaches, and big cookies white choc. Macadamiammmmmm!! Go early, enjoy. Cinnamon rolls also big mm mm good!Great service too.
Derly Valverde
Been going there since the late 70s to get my sausage kolache. The owners were so nice remember the mom so well. Still go there and will be there tomorrow their Colombian coffee is so good. Remind me of home.
veniceblair xo
The food is really good. BUT they don’t have an orderly system to order in place. Someone else took the last sweets I wanted for my order bcuz the girl took forever to pack up my other items never got to the sweets n they asked the guy behind me what he wanted n he took the last sweets flavor I wanted for my order. IT MAKES NO SENSE. I was first my order wasn’t completed, why would the person behind me get to take the last ones I wanted for my order. Why don’t u respect the in line. Dont ask othewhat they want taking the last ones when the person ahead of them hasn’t even finish ordering. N Also there was a tall man breathing all over the food. Why won’t they tell him to stay behind the glass. He was speaking all over the food n no one told him anything. All his saliva particles n germs falling on top of the top food shelf. This place it’s always packed with ppl n they have this petty problems. N STOP asking for tips just for packing food, they didn’t give me a good service, they let someone else take my sweets, the screen to sign n add tip is right infront of the entire line of ppl, like to shame u or guilt u into adding tip.
Hernan Flores
Good food. Small so its just a to go place basically but it's a nice place. Usually get a line on Fridays but it moves pretty fast. Parking is limited
Depal Sirimanna
Wonderful food and coffee! Do not think that there is no better breakfast available anyplace. Both the pastrami, cheddar, and jalapeo kolache and the roast beef, cheddar, and jalapeo kolache were consumed by me. You couldn't get enough of the filling, and the crust was as light as a feather! The flavor of the cappuccino was strongly roasted. This place must be tr
Daniel Rosenhaus
Come here, do not hesitate. I freaking love this place!! Smells incredible when you walk in, amazing kolache and their version of a “croissant” I think (I’m not sure I have the local lingo down), the longer, not round items. The chicken fajita was great but the roast beef, bacon and cheese was fresh from the oven and one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Prices are fair. Coffee is great too, they treat it like a cocktail here, so it takes a while. Service is friendly even though it can get crowded. If you’re flying into Hobby, you have to come here, it’s too close to miss out on.
Lina C
Literally, still eating a kolache! This place is little but bomb!!! Worth the drive the food is fresh,warm, & hella affordable. You get good quality for your money. Their teas are awesome too!!! I'll definitely be going back. There was a line but more than one person is helping & it goes by fast. I'm very satisfied!!!
E.T.A.: The fruit kolache is just mind blowing! Hell yea, this place is good.
Kenn Stearns
Don't judge a book by its cover. Do NOT confuse this as just another location of a sprawling kolache factory. This is a one and only shoppe, not a factory. Established in the '50s, this has to be Houston's first kolache bakery and they are the very best. Crowds come and go, so if there's a line it'll move fast and it's worth the short wait. Everything is hand crafted and the kitchen area is highly visible. Special order in advance to get poppy seed kolaches and cinnamon rolls with applewood smoked bacon. Choose from a nice selection of fresh-from-the-oven offerings including sausage, roast beef, ham, pastrami, fajita, and all kinds of fruit. Don't miss the coffee. They roast their own coffee and pride themselves in sourcing beans from individual farmers as well as knowledgeable distributors. Working owners are almost always on hand. Staff is friendly and efficient. This is definitely worth a road trip.
Alfred Cervantes
Sausage/Cheese/Jalapeño & Rasberry (see pic). Treat yourself to anything they make, it's all delicious.
abe luna
Great food but the hot foods aren't always hot. Maybe if they put the sweet breads at the bottom and the kolaches on top closer to the heat lamps.
Brian Severino
Carol is the best!! She always remembers orders, super friendly, and really efficient! Highly recommend this place!!
Franky G
This place has been here since I can remember. The pastries are delicious the pecan coffee is great too. Well everything they sell is delicious.
Elizabeth ***
I got a croissant just how i wanted,,cheese,(I'm vegetarian), when it wasn't on the menu. This place is a plus for me, my husband is picky on his coffee and he loved his coffe, He said "i can really taste the coffee" my son was impressed with the size of the chocolate chip cookie, next time I'm on this side of town, I'm stopping by again...
Rose Lynch
Omw. Absolutely my fav kolache shop around!! The kolache are fresh and made in house all morning.
Super small but cozy. Has outside seating
Kane Punt
Best kolaches so far in texas. Roast beef/cheese w/ jalapeno and sausage/cheese w/jalapeno were amazing. Cant wait to try the pastrami!
Jack Eade
Have you've ever taken a bite into somthing so delectable that tears start running down your eyes? Last time i had something this good was my wifes grandmother Portugese cooking. You cant put a price on pastries like this.
Daniel Chu
First time having kolache, and it was delicious! Fruity and not too sweet, would go back again!
Robert L
Good kolache I mean the best I can't believe that this place was there I been living in the same area for years and never thought that is was a delicious place to be the cinnamon roll is of the hook is wow personally me I would try the pot roast kolache is good and the beef fajita is good too
Jennifer H
Visiting Houston and had to try these. You know a place is good when the line is almost out the door, definitely worth the wait!!
Amy Hernandez
The pastrami kolache is their best one in my opinion but all their kolaches are delicious! Just tried the Black berry fruit kolache for the first time today and even though it's not sweet like I thought it'd be, it is still good.
John 117
The outside of the building looks dilapidated, but the inside is beautiful. But more importantly, their kolaches are delicious and they have an interesting variety. It's honestly just fun to look at inside.
Connie Myers
Always the best kolaches, coffees, and wonderful teas found in Houston . Leslie suggested the perfect tea, and her smiling face will brighten your day!
Marcelina Castleberry
Picked up some kolaches for a non-Texan visitor and this shop got them hooked! Love there fruit kolaches. Great selection and service every time
James Zepeda
The best in Houston . That’s all I have to say. Been coming here for over 30 years now.
herp aderp
My favorite kolache place, the cheesy chicken ones are stuuuupid good
Natalie Pumphrey
Oh wow. This was an unexpected stop and so much better than kolache factory. it's meat heavy which isn't my thing but for those that like that, Def try it out.
Micho Rizo
You guys raised the prices once again! The kolaches were 2.50 then 2.75 which was ok. Now 3.00! Guess I’m not leaving a tip anymore. Almost makes me feel like not stopping by. Last time I went they were over baked. Also had two people making coffee and nobody taking orders.
David
The kolaches were awesome. I had the jalapeño cheese and was just perfect.
Junior Guevara
This place is amazing, always fresh and very friendly people. I drive from Baytown to get my fix of kolaches.
Stephen Damon
Quality kolaches with the right amount of meat and heat! The pastries are always beautiful done. This place really seems to care about quality and consistency with their food.
Michelle
I was excited to try Texas kolaches and this place had good reviews, but I was a little disappointed. The sausage one is just a pig in a blanket. It's a whole sausage rather than ground. The blueberry one was adequate. My favorite thing was the lemon turnover. But the staff was very good, helpful and friendly.
Dave L.
The klobásníky & kolaches were all really good! Especially the pastrami+cheese one!
Gerardo Enrique Heras Araujo

Ashley Lilley
This place is a hole in the wall, mom and pop kolache shop. But let me tell you! They have some of the best kolaches I've ever had! The roast beef kolache is by far the best one. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because there's no AC and with the amount of people crammed in a tiny space? They need it! But damn good food. Well worth the wait.
Jordan Paul
Roast beef meat pie. Just get it. Don’t ask. You won’t regret it.
Leonardo Carrasco
I’m ver happy that I got to know this place, the service is wonderful. Very well recommended
The Texas Gypsy
Amazing kolache & turnovers. Great service. Ok parking... totally affordable. Get there early to get the good ones before they run out.
Emely Garcia
Best coffee and pastries here in Houston! Every time I’m in the area I have to stop by for breakfast.
Cyprus Walter
Amazing food. Amazing coffee. NOT amazing customer service. I didn't feel very welcomed there.
Pétros
Really good it's not like other kolache places
David Montemayor
Second visit. My first time through the doors was 30 years ago; applying for a job at 16. Since then, decor inside has been updated and they sell Zeppelin whole bean coffee (sure there's much more I missed). They will grind if desired. Products were excellent and staff was delightful. Customers in line were polite. Everything moved along efficiently. Parking is very limited and usually full -- which is why it's taken me so long to return. However, after seeing how fast everything moves along; next time I happen to pass by, I may just wait for a spot to open.
Austin Sisman
kolaches are pretty good. quality of the pastry is great with nice texture and not overly sweet or overly buttery like some places. only complaint is that sausage inside is a bit hot-dog like in texture rather than some more gamey-texture but that's personal preference I guess, and taste is good. neat shop
Lindsey Rodriguez
Amazing gem in south Houston. There is only outside seating but for amazing food and quick service...run don't walk.
Jason “Jay B”
My parents brought me here as a child and now I bring my wife here for one of the best kolaches in Houston. This place make feel welcome and as soon as you walk in you smell of fresh bread in the air. I highly recommend this spot to try. I promise you will return to this small spot in Houston.

Pastries are to die for..the kolaches are too. Such a quaint little hidden gem of a place..love it..🥰❤️ …
Rick
Had a few different fruit kolaches, the chicken fajita, and roast beef. All phenomenal. Good cold brew too. Would go here all the time if I was closer.
Nate
I don't know how I have not reviewed this place yet. The kolaches are awesome. The roast beef, cheese and jalapeño are excellent. So, every kolache I've eaten since I moved to HOU area are usually a hot dog type of sausage baked in some type of bread. The kolaches at this establishment are a sliced beef, a cheese sauce in a croissant type of crust. They are incredible. I wish I could get a location closer to my house but I am glad they open at 5 AM.
Ben Muths
Insanely good. Best in Houston. Maybe best in Texas. Maybe best in the US. Maybe best in the world.
Daniela Salazar
I have been a customer for over 20 years, and their kolaches are still delicious and fresh! Love the coffee bar they added a few years ago, and the service never fails to be friendly and fast….will continue to be a customer for many more years to come!
Arlin Rajan
Best kolache ever. I had the Beef fajitha & Jalapeno kolache and the Chocolate cream cheese
Patricia Lockman
Excellent food and service. The price is righy
Laura Resendiz
The chicken and monteray cheese is my favorite! I also get the mocha frappuccino, it is so good. These two things plus the macadamia cookies are my favorites.
wayne sprinkles
This was a new find on the internet. I live 25 minutes away but they looked really good online. They have some unusual croissants with roast beef or pastrami. Upon arriving I was a little disappointed at how the croissants looked. They looked like a hotpocket and appeared old and overdone. However, this was completely NOT the case. Despite they're appearances they were soft and flaky and full of meat. Well worth the trip over. They also had a gingerbread and pumpkin spread moon pie like thing which was the softess pastry ever. Absolutely amazing
Sandra Benavides
Nice place. Good kolaches, small parking
Serinity S
This is THE place to get Klobasneks and Kolaches. Absolutely delicious, and pretty speedy.
Christina Garza
I first visited this establishment a few weeks ago. I've been stopping in onto my way for work and buying breakfast for the office. Their kolaches are amazing and the coffee is better than Starbucks. My favorite is the Iced White Chocolate Mocha latte. Try it! It won't disappoint! The staff is always friendly and the customers are all happy just to be there. Good vibes here!
joanna Delarosa
First time coming here and there wasn't too long of a line. We tried to get a little of everything so we got ham bacon and cheese, sausage and cheese, fajita, raspberry cream turnover and oatmeal cookie since they had just come out. The ham and cheese was too salty due to ham is salty and bacon is too so combined its too much sodium. The fajita one was delicious and in my opinion better than the sausage and cheese, oatmeal cookie was awesome. Chewy and big! Sausage and cheese was nothing special, just like any other good tasting kolache. Don't get me wrong it was good but nothing I would say "there's nothing like it anywhere else." Rasberry cream turnover was also very good, if I were to travel to them from pasadena I would go mainly for the fajita and cheese kolache and the turnover. Overall their pastries are good and not badly priced.
Caleb Hindy
Been going here for a couple years now and finally getting around to rating it. One of my top 5 eats in Houston, and definitely my favorite kolaches I've had anywhere! Chicken Fajita with Monterey Jack cheese is out of this world. I will always wait for them to bake it if it's out of stock. My sister and mother love the apple and chocolate turnovers. I don't drink coffee, but my sister has informed me that's it's pretty good too. The staff here is always friendly and helpful.
If I had one recommendation to make, it would be to use a different cheese with the roast beef and pastrami kolaches, but that's just my personal preference! Keep being excellent.
Chris Galvan
Talk about a hidden gem..... This hidden local place is one to definitely try... EVERYTHING here is amazing.....
Eric Smigga
Hidden Gem. No doubt a must visit place for very good kolaches!!
Omar Herrera
Great kolaches have been going here 16 years. I love the coffee and teas too !!!
Oscar Pena
Some of the best kolaches in the southeast Hobby Airport area
Lynn V
Even in a pandemic, service is quick and great! You may find yourself waiting in a long line, but no worries, it's definitely worth the wait! The pastries are super delicious, well everything is. I tried the Blue Moon tea (iced, not hot) & it was super refreshing as well. Definitely worth a try & great service too!
Kenmon Pittman
First time visiting and I was not disappointed. Food was great and I definitely recommend you give them try.
Matt Elisha
Kolaches were hot and fresh, and delicious!! The service was fast too. I was in and out within 5 minutes! 10/10 recommend
Rodriguez Marco
I Love it I all ways buy by the morning it's so D E L I C I O S O
Happy Camper
We had heard a lot about the place and since we were in the area, decided to try it. Not quite what we expected. Very nice people, great service. The food wasn't as good as we had hoped. I had a pastrami croissant. It was dripping with grease, soaked the bag and was salty. The sausage kolache was a little better.
Bean Dar
My favorite breakfast stop ever. Fairly priced for the amazing quality food you get. The kolachies are fantastic, warm, sweet and savory. Jalapeno is optional. There is of course a large array of high quality desserts.
A small but very pleasant interior that always almost has a line out the door. Full of syrups, coffee beans, and many other wonderful smelling and appealing things. Entirely worth the 5-10 minute wait from the time you get out of your car to the time you get back in it, depending on what you order and how many people are ahead of you.
Tory Chag
I'm so glad I stopped at this small bakery. They sell breakfast kolaches, pastries, desserts and coffee. Everything is delicious. I recommend going early or right before they close for shorter wait time.
Sara
Always hot and fresh and worth the wait!
Dona S
Good Kolaches. Could be awesome with better service.
NORWOOD GREENE,III
I love this lil quaint family owned and managed shoppe. Easy to notice from the street in normal traffic. Limited parking lot structure. I think the coffee selection is vastly premium with local and international flavors. Cash and credit accepted. There are seating areas available inside and outside of this venue. Best tasting quick bite to eat!
Alan B
Heard the name Zeppelin Coffee at Houston Rodeo this year and as a coffee enthusiast and amateur barista I was curious to check it out when I happened to be in the area. At this part of town, I wasn't sure whether to expect a retail coffee shop or possibly a roastery tucked away in some industrial center. Turns out it was this kolache shop with some incredible-looking fresh pastries in addition to retail coffee drinks. I was blown away by their version of a Frappuccino (technically, a registered trademark of Starbucks, and they should probably change the name anyway because their version was superior). They also have retail packaging of beans that they roast in house, which I will come back and get soon.
Mex
The lemon twist, peanut butter cookies are my favorite!
Let's not forget the coffee they serve. The pecan drip is amazing. Im not a huge Frappuccino fan but the one they serve here is perfectly sugared where you can still taste the coffee flavoring without being too sweet.
Their classic fruit kolaches are great.
Overall this place is great.
Carolyn Minor
This place have the best kolaches and very fresh. They make them fresh very day. A great place to get breakfast, lunch and dessert. I just love the place. Thanks.
Al Rivera
This place blows every other Czech and/or so called kolache bakery out of the water. The sweet and soft bread of the fruit kolaches or klobasniky with sausage will convert anyone with an educated palate into a believer of this place. The only regret I have is that I can’t eat less than 2 of any bakery item they make here. Truly a delicious experience.
Leslie
So today we decided to pick up some kolaches and coffee from TOKS. First time ever ordering a vanilla cold brew from here. The person picking up the order called me and asked if I wanted milk in my cold brew. I said yes, if there’s sweet cream it would be nice too. Well the caucasian girl with the black beanie decided we needed a sarcastic comment today and said something like: this isn’t Starbucks. I’ve personally been to Kolache shoppe so many times before and I have NEVER experienced any type of rudeness from anyone there. So I am very disappointed with that girls customer service. If I can’t ask, how will I know what’s available? also I know where i’m getting coffee from.
Domingo Garcia
They have the best fruit kolaches ever made. They also have the best kolaches ever made with roast beef and cheese, ham and cheese with pastry dough. I love the fact that you can call your orders in the day before pick up and it's ready and still hot, not to mention they have so much more pastries and other coffees and juices.
Erica Lee Cintron
I love this place this was my first time and I definetly going back
Camilo
Best kolache and coffe, fast service
Tony Scott
Went in on a Tuesday morning, place had a steady stream of customers. Always a good sign when I haven't tried a place before. Took 2 dozen assorted kolaches to our plant control room and everyone was extremely excited to see "the best kolaches in town", which I couldn't agree with more. They also roast their own coffee, and it was an amazing cup of Joe.
Jaime Gonzalez
Legit place with delocious pastries and great customer service. Loved it and will continue to frequent this establishment. Owner and staff were super nice. Angela? (Asian young lady) has a beautiful personality that made our experience over the top.
Arturo Castillo
This place has been here for decades! It is very popular. So popular that it seems they are going to open another one at Hobby airport!
Laurie Metcalf (Lauriebegood)
The Original Kolache Shop deserves 10 stars! They have the best ever kolaches I've ever eaten. Everyone I've taken there agrees. If you haven't been there, you need to go there! Forget about donuts! Bring kolaches to work! You'll be everyone's favorite person!
Erick Hoyos
I love their kolaches! they are big enough for me to just only 2, compare to other small kolaches that are small and it takes me like 5 to get me full. Their coffee is so smooth and hot-ready in the mornings. Definitely recommend here for a quick breakfast bite.
Lori Crowder
They have some of the best kolaches ever. The bread is so sweet. The meat pies are my friends favorite. And sweets too. Not to mention the exotic coffees and tea's. My favorite breakfast place, hands down....
B G
Simply the best! I drive 30 minutes to come here. My favorite is the pastrami kolache.
Matthew Tarango
Great little place for amazing breakfast and coffee! If you've never been or are on the fence, just go! They have all sorts of kolaches for all tastes. My personal fav is the roast beef with jalapenos, they also have is sans peppers if you don't like the spicy stuff. For the coffee, I recommend the roasted pecan.
Jakob Broaddus
Some seriously good coldbrew coffee. Kevin the owner is super passionate about his business. We brought him out to support student scholarships at University of Houston, and even before our first meeting and before he knew us Kevin was so excited about his brew he gave my friend and I some delicious samples. Can't recommend enough.
Salvador lopez
I stopped in yesterday for the very first time. I told my server that I have lived in the area for over 35 years and this was my very first time stopping in to try them out.
Awesome !!! Brought my wife in this morning we are hooked now and will be regular customers from now on. Best Kolaches I had ever eaten anywhere in Houston.
Please don't change anything Oatmeal cookies are delicious!!!
Sal and Dora.

First time showing u to a car meet here and I tried the Kolaches they were great! I tried the chicken fajita, and beef fajita. I also loved the the pastrami with jalapeños, usually it comes with bacon but requested it without and they made it happen!! And most of all great staff friendly and smiling great service will be back again!
Mindy Boening
We stumbled upon the Original Kolache Shoppe and recommend everyone try it. Everyone was super friendly and the Kolache's were fresh and yummy. The Blue Moon Tea is refreshing and my new favorite.. We will definitely return. Thank you for a great experience!!
Z Needs
Good location to eat at. Food was excellent! We got two kolache's but could only eat one. They were so filling. I also got an extra shot of espresso in my coffee. That made my day! Very friendly staff. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a good trip for terrific food.
Kathryn Hatfield
Coffee is Fair Trade and excellent; kolaches are amazing; the store itself is fun and quirky and warm and inviting. There are a couple of outdoor tables which even in July were made bearable because of the umbrellas; there's a little bit of space indoors but not much (because it's all about the food in there!) Would definitely visit again and recommend highly!
siobhan norton
Can not say enough good things about this place! Kolaches are amazing & they have proper coffee! AND they're just really nice. Really great spot- tiny inside so would usually recommend to go, but they do have a couple of tables outside.
Josh B
6/12/18 Stumbled into this place by chance. It has a really cool vibe. Let’s hope the kolaches and coffee are as good as it smells in here. the kolaches were hot fresh and awesome. I got there at 5 am when they opened the door, so I was first in line. At first I was disappointed because they didn’t have the coffee or any pastries ready. It wasn’t even brewing yet, so I had to wait five minutes for that. When I walked out I had a bad first impression just because of that. When I got to work and bit into that kolache all was forgiven lol. The coffee was very good too. I’m willing to give them a second chance, but I think if a business like this is going to “open” at 5am then they should have all their products ready for sale at that time.
3/26/20 Almost two years later and time for an update. This is by far, my favorite place for coffee and breakfast. I’ve tried almost all of their products by now and nothing has disappointed me yet. I now know that by 6:00 am all of their products are fresh, hot, and ready to go. The coffee selections are amazing. They roast their own coffee. Zeppelin Coffee A++ My fave is their Yirgacheffe. They always have three brews of coffee made. Columbian, Pecan, and the special of the day. They will even french press a specific one by request. Sure it take a few extra minutes but it’s worth it. They take pride in their work. Kevin and his team are awesome people!!!
Robert Johnson
This place is amazing! It is very small and parking is limited; however, I recommend trying it out. They have great coffee and rotate which brews they have. The prices are very reasonable, and the pastries are delicious. Of course the kolaches are unique and tasty, only place I know where you can get a fajita kolache.
Kity Purry
The dough for the kolaches is by far the best in the Houston area
Mayes White
Yeast bread kolaches were awesome!! Also have a variety of pastries!!

I was expecting these great kolaches but for example, the bacon ham cheese taste like a cheap hot Pocket. The dough is not flaky or anything it's like doughy. Also they don't add egg to anything which is weird. The sausage and cheese are average like the ones from any other shop, I haven't tried the others meats but I don't think I'll go back. I don't get why all the 5 star reviews? These people have never been to a "kolache factory" where they have like 20 plus combinations and the dough has a unique taste. So disappointed.
Yadira Orozco
Tried the ham, bacon, and cheese! So good!
EMRE SAHIN
AMAZING!!!!!! The kolache's definitely beat any breakfast quick and go shop . The staff is really warm and welcoming and the baristas really go out of their way to make sure your drink is on point! It is usually very busy during the early mornings and before closing especially during the weekends;however, the wait is worth it ! I definitely recommend it.
Andrew May
Visited for the first the other day, and I was pretty impressed. I ordered the Sausage cheese & Jalapeño kolache, Steak cheese & Jalapeño kolache, cream cheese kolache, and some raspberry treat. The meat kolaches were decent (6/10 sausage & 7/10 steak) but the cream cheese one and raspberry treat, were great (9/10). Well visit again in the future.
Richard Kaminski
Just got some excellent coffee there great service with a smile . I recommend trying the burnt marshmallow latte its amazing
Adam Gonzalez
Best kolache in Texas. Must visit this place if you're ever in Houston. The employees are down to earth and the food is phenomenal. The coffee is excellent and the owner roast his own coffee beans. Facility is small, this is a better pick up and go dinning.
Lloyd Allen
Made right in front of you, the shop smells great
Angel Guevara
Let me first off say this is the HAVE TO GO place on anyones list. Before finding out about this place 3 months ago I use to frequent the downtown tunnels and uptown a lot on my days off. I live pretty far from this place, but trust me it’s worth the 45-60 minute commute through Houston traffic. The Roast Beef kolache is absolutely delicious, and the Iced Soy Latte I order is just right on and it’s the reason why I keep coming back. The gal who’s made my beverage is very friendly and does a great job every time she makes it. Last week I had family fly in from Chicago and we went in and they absolutely loved it! The staff was very friendly and patient with my indecisive peeps😂, the place felt very cozy, I love the deco. This is a very original and unique place to visit.
Sean Ashcraft
Kolaches are always fresh and the coffee selection is better than most coffee shops. Staff is friendly and service is impeccable. An amazing little hole in the wall with limited parking, luckily it's a short walk from home.
Felipe Guillén
Love the kolaches, the service and coffee!
Update: (05/18/2021)
As I said in my review a year ago I love this place and will continue to be a patron.
I hate to be this person but there's one thing I noticed happening in the last month or two. It's consistently taking longer than before to get out the door to buy jusf kolaches, no coffee or anything else. I got in the morning when there aren't many people an it still takes 10-15 minutes.
Last week there were 5 people in front of me and it took 12 minutes just to buy kolaches. I didn't buy coffee or anything like that. I'm not sure if they are short staffed or the employees are in training. I'm pointing it out because it used to be super quick when there were few people in line. In and out in 5 minutes.
Richard Child
First time visiters, We drove 30 min to check this place out on a whim. We stumbled across it on Google while looking for VooDoo Doughnut at home . We got 2 of every pastry & 2 Carmel Frappe. The Carmel Mocha Frappe was the best we have ever tasted, The pastry was very delicious not your typical run of the mill shop. Well worth the trip. My wife and I highly recommend you try it for yourself.
Bianca Rojas
Went here for the first time this morning I ordered a chicken fajitas filled hot pocket looking pastry...it was so good. I also got a lemon turn over it was soft and flaky the lemon filling wasn't too tart or too sweet, there was a bit of a line but the staff kept it moving and was very friendly.I'm glad I stopped by, definitely recommending this spot for breakfast
Adolfo Sardina
Went this morning to go check it out since I was told by friends that they had good food. And I must say they are right, that Apple pie I had was mind blowing next visit am going to buy one of very thing. Keep up the great job guys.
Jose Toro Jr
Best Kolaches in Texas. We've been going here since the late 70s. We don't go as often due to how far away we love now...but every now and then we'll make the trip.
Jay Garza
Best kolaches I've ever had in Houston. The regular kolaches are amazing, made fresh every day. The fajita "kolaches" are more like hot pockets kind of but are delicious. Do yourself a favor and make a trip over here ove morning. You will not be disappointed.
Jamie Slaughter
This was my 1st visit to this wonderful place. They had traditional kolaches (with fruit filling), as well as other baked items. All of it was delicious. Will definitely return for more goodies.
Dawn Hopenwasser
OMG. The kolaches are the 💣. Very filling, delicious, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend. …
Alicia Zamora
Super cute little shop and friendly staff.
The sausage and cheese kolaches were good.
Was only disappointed in the fruit kolaches. They had good flavor, just not what I was hoping for. Was hoping for more of a German fruit kolache and some cream cheese in with the fruit, which these were lacking.
I'd stop again if in the area, just not go out of my way for.
Nicholas Sarver
This place is a true hidden gem. Come here and you will not regret it. The kolaches are not your typical Texas style kolaches. I believe they are Czech/German and they are delicious. I recommend the beef or chicken fajita ones if they are available. Aside from their kolaches are the pastries and cinnamon rolls. I have been to so many bakeries in the city and nothing compares to the delightful Bavarian cream filled pastry they make here. This place is tiny and they are really busy during the week but the line moves rather quickly.
John Fields
The kolaches here are definitely the best in the city of Houston and possibly the best in the entire state. There is nothing better than a sausage and cheese with jalepeno fresh out of the oven...They cook the kolaches throughout the day so they are always fresh! Not to be outdone by the incredible kolaches, the coffee here is incredible. They roast it in the store. My favorite is the cold brew latte and I have even started buying their cold brew concentrate for my morning cup of coffee. This is a family owned restaurant and it is always refreshing knowing the money I spend here is staying in the Houston community. If you haven't tried this hidden gem of Houston yet, do yourself a favor and go as soon as you can!
Gabriel Espitia
You will probably find a better sausage and cheese kolache that suits your taste buds, but it will be hard. For me, it's the best. This place has some top notch kolaches, cin rolls, cookies...you name it! Coffee is nice to go with those treats. Try them out and you can thank me by getting a cookie and eating it for me.
Joe Wilson
Great pastry! I still say their fruit and cheese traditional kolaches aren't right but the koblasniki and meat pies are amazing! The kolaches are good too... They just aren't kolaches.
Mathu Sundaramoorthy
Kolaches are absolutely scrumptious. Coffees are also great. Bread tastes very fresh baked and the sausage is definitely very gourmet. Absolutely must have for breakfast especially if new to Texas.
H Otte
This place is so much better than the other shops, you can't even compare them. Best everything as far as flavor goes. No skimping on fillings! Perfect cook every time! ONLY downside is parking. It's awkward and weird. But that won't stop me from going back!!
Jessica Vega
I cant beleive I've lived in the area my whole life, seen this place my whole life and never had a taste. I decided to stop heading to work at 5am and Mcdonalds wasn't open. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I had one of the best breakfast stops just down the street from me. I will try everything on menu the now! lol 😁Forget the rest, these are the BEST!
Rebeca Salas
These kolaches are incomparable! I recommend their sausage ones because they make them really juicy. My favorite kolache is the sausage, cheese, and jalapeño one though. The staff here has always been friendly. This is a hidden gem that I only discovered two years ago, after so many years of living nearby, and now it's a place I frequent.
Brandi Luddington
Hands down the best kolaches ever!! I have nothing bad to say this place. I get the pastrami, bacon and cheese kolache...OMG the pastry is so flaky and the meat is cooked to perfection. The staff is friendly and the vanilla cappuccino is delish! I must admit it's kinda hard eating any other kolaches after having theirs.
Efrain
i have driven past this little place my whole life and not once did I ever stop to check it out, until my girlfriend took me. i fell in LOVE with the kolaches! they are the best I have ever tasted, I highly recommend this place. 5 stars hands down. :-)
Abby Gail Thiele
My friend Kristopher and his mother Kim treated me to THE BEST Kolache I have ever had at The Original Kolache Shoppe. I got to try the jalapeno cheese Kolache it is definitely well worth trying again.
Samuel Marrero
I came here to drop off some mail without knowing about this place, they were prepping for the next day and I think it was just past 12 noon. I tried the Raspberry Cream filled with raspberry frosting and the Pastrami Bacon and Cheese Kolaches. I must say that I was impressed with the Raspberry Cream filled one, delicious, flaky and still crunchy, the Pastrami Bacon and Cheese was ok, it was greasy and soggy but I'm sure it was like that due to how long it sit there. I just recommend to remove them or drop the price at 1/2 off for the inconvenience. Otherwise, great flavors.
Manuel Martinez
Great experience, the aroma as soon as you walk in, the staff , the product. Everything was great. For anyone complaining about parking, there's another lot behind the building that lots of people aren't aware of. Never had an issue with parking. The only thing I could ask for would be to stay open throughout the day! Haha definitely try this place you won't regret it.
Efren Valladares
Amazing. The fajita and cheese Kolache straight up melted in my mouth. 100% going by here to try a different Kolache. Wish they had a bigger establishment with proper seating but the Kolaches are 100% worth it.
charis saldivar
All I can say is Holy Crap Balls!!! This place is awesome! My first visit but definitely not my last. Hands down best kolaches around, the cinnamon are to die for and the turnovers are soooooo delicious!! Next visit I'll be trying something else (which will be tomorrow)!
Esmeralda Badillo
The Original Kolache Shoppe was at Wolffest UH selling THE best cold brew coffee I've ever had!! Kevin, the owner, was there all 3 days of the festival, selling a variety of items from his menu and all of his items sold out. Not only did he inspire entrepreneurs, but he also donated all profits to student scholarships! Amazing food and amazing guy!
Jose Salazar
Best cappuccinos by far! The coffee is fantastic. It's cheaper and significantly better than any national chain. Kolaches are amazing as well, but their coffee product are the best!
Rachel Herrera
I passed by this place a million times as a life long Houston resident. I wasn't feeling too good today and decided to stop in to see what faire was available. I needed something to warm my soul. Lord, did i find it! 🤗There was a warm greeting when I walked in, with some eye-candy😍 behind the counter. Plus the food was amazing, the staff was friendly and it smelled delicious. I most definitely will be returning!😘
Alissa Ritter
Cute little hole in the wall with the best kolache I've had since moving to the area. Waaay better than what you'll get at Kolache factory or Shipleys etc. Closest to what my grandma made us as a child.:) We tried the sausage, pastrami, roast beef, raspberry and raspberry/cream cheese turnover. All were fresh and delicious! The lattes were great too. :) Worth the 20 minute drive.
Trish K
Excellent Product, Lacking Customer Service. My favorite is the Beef Fajita. The kolaches are better here b/c the susage is thicker & more flavorful. When I go, I don't feel welcomed or appreciated as a customer but I shrug it off for the great product.
Guadalupe Navarro
Friendly and courteous staff.
Prompt service. Highly recommended and popular with pilots from nearby Hobby Airport.
Stephen P. Fracek, Jr.
Came here because of Allison Cook's review in the Houston Chronicle. I was not disappointed. Hands down, this is the best kolache bakery I've been to and I've been to almost all of them in West, TX and the one in Danbury. All of the kolaches are excellent and huge. You can taste the quality. There is plenty of filling in the fruit kolaches and the sausage kolaches are very tasty. They have real coffee that is better than most coffee places. Their "croissants" are superlative, too. I'm partial to the fajita chicken but my son swears by either the beef fajita or the roast beef. The only thing better than the kolaches is the friendly service. OKS is nowhere near where I live, but it is worth the drive.
Monica B
Great place and I definitely recommend you try! Love everything about it!
Vienny Nguyen
Best kolaches in town. The pastrami is amazing. The staff were helpful, even with a line, and bagged each kolache upon request (for sharing at the office in these pandemic times).
Reese G.
This shop is small, clean and very cozy.Very delicious kolaches and cookies! Only thing I'd have to say is it's a little pricey in my opinion. Definitely not a place I would go too often, but nice for special occasions.
Oliver Newman
Saw this place on some TV show and made the trek down to Hobby to check it out. FANTASTIC. As a kolache fiend this place is as good as it gets. The only place that compares to the Czech Stop in my book. Beef/pork? sausage and turkey sausage are both killer. The roast beef, bacon, and cheese in a flaky crust is incredible. Great little coffee bar too.
Rapture Ready Runda
One of my favorite places! I drive Uber and every chance I get, I go and treat myself. I also tell my riders (when they ask me for suggestions on great places to go), this is definitely a must "go and savor the flavors"! These homemade goodies and in house roasted coffees are the Bomb diggity...Yummy yum yum!.
Kevin, the owner took time to tell me how he took over after his grandma passed and how he revamped the place with ideas he had wanted to implement for a long time. So cute! (speaking of the place but yep ladies he is too :-D. He even custom made me a coffee blend from one of the African beans! Wonderful!!!
I really want them to be more well know but I'm selfish in that I don't want them to get so big that they lose that loving attention they give to their food and patrons...I know right!
My favorites are...the Bacon-Pastami Kolache, Cappucini w hazelnut, raspberry turnover, peach Kolache, oatmeal raisin and sand tart cookie...shucks...All of it is good! Great place…great staff!
Keep up the great work Kevin and crew...y'all are the best!
Carolina Gonzalez
It tends to get a bit crowded in the morning since it's a small business, but service is fast and friendly. If you're a kolache fan, I really recommend trying them here! They're made fresh and warm and they're ready to go.
Lisa Hubbell
Great products, owner very friendly. We dropped in as they were closing, but didn't feel rushed, very little to choose from because they bake fresh daily. Still the roast beef kolaches were great, as were the raspberry cream cheese kolaches & Columbiana coffee.
David H. Nguyen
I've had this place bookmarked for years, but unfortunately my wife is not a fan of kolaches, and the only time I can make it would be weekends. But lucky for me, my wife was having brunch with co-workers, so I was able to meet up a friend for kolaches!
They have a wide variety of savory and sweet items. I tried 2 meat kolaches, the roast beef and the pastromi were soooo good. The breading was flaky and stuffed full of meat and cheese. Think a fresh homemade hot pocket.
I also, tried a few different fruit ones too. I also tried a few fruit turnovers. The turnovers breading was just as good as the kolaches. Finally, I sampled the cinnamon roll. Not super sweet and flaky once again.
Everything at this shoppe was superb!
Jaime Moreno
Food is great. Got there at 5:50am, the full menu was not ready due some of the food was still in the oven or it was being prepared for the oven. If you open at 5am I feel that the full menu should be ready to go when you open.
Carmen Gomez
A friend brought some kolaches and pastries to work and they were delicious. Not greasy or oily. Sweet but not too sweet. I hope to personally go to this place one day.
The diamand King
Very friendly people, great atmosphere, great kolaches and great coffees from around the world. Only thing I dont like is that alot of times I get cold kolaches and since I'm on the road I have no way of reheating them.
Awesome spot tho. Highly recommend.
Charlotte Taylor
No better kolaches anywhere! Even with a small parking lot, and a line of cars waiting I will find a way to get in there and order for my clan. A great way to reward a work crew - show up with some of this!
Christian Neal-Herman
If you want the absolute best kolaches in Houston, this is the best place to go. The sausage kolaches are my favorite because the bread to sausage ratio is perfect, the bread is just sweet enough, and the sausage is flavorful and juicy. Their sweet kolaches are also delicious, and they have may different flavors available. Prices are not too unreasonable for the quality, and wait times are not too terrible.
bryan dani
Had some of the roast beef and cheese breakfast kolache? Honest can't remember what it was called. Amazing. First time I have tried this place. Will go back when I have the opportunity.
Juan Gomez
1st here, and came because of a news article about best kolache shops in Texas! This was on the list as a local Houston favorite and they did not get it wrong.
Shop is small, but for a grab and go item, it’s just the right size. I’m not in the area often, but if I am, I know where to get a great kolache! 😋
Tyrone Booze
The only thing bad I can say about this place is that it is in Houston and I live in San Antonio. The Kolaches that come from this place are one of a kind and they tastes great also. You have to get there early because if you don't you might have made the trip for nothing, but when ever in Houston this is a must stop for breakfast.
Jose Cornejo
Fresh breakfast awesome coffees and cappuccinos
Nita
Great place for breakfasts on the go.... Everything fresh..
Jose Nolazco
Best kolaches in Houston! Hands Down! I've eaten kolaches all over town! They all taste the same (microwaved). Every other Saturday morning, I make my drive all the way from Atascocita. Just to get my Kolache Fix! Great job to you Original Kolache Shoppe!
Michelle Bryant
Delicious foods. I can't even begin to describe how tasty their kolaches are. The coffee is pretty good ..maybe 4 stars, but the food is 6 stars, all the way.
Donna Turner
Small little hole in the wall that's been around over 50 years. Even the cops are here every morning. The kolaches were great but not much different than shipleys you can find all over town even though I'm sure they copied this place. My complaint is They need to make more of their cinnamon rolls so they don't run out so early every day.
Eric Wogbe
Hands down the best bakery, best kolaches, best everything in Houston. If you have time stop by and check it out my God was an awesome place.
Nakiema Bunsie
Best kolache in Houston!!! I wish they would open one on the SW but it's worth the drive.the roast beef is to die for .they even taste good the next day!! I love this place ❤️
Mara Belmont
I had a hard time choosing what to get..everything looked and smelled so good..Haven' been there in a good while, now will make it a point to go there..different flavor coffees, teas, cookies, those cinnamon pecan rolls were scrumptious and big enough to share.
Chris Jensen
Best sausage kolaches in Houston. Good coffee and the sweet pastries are amazing. There's always a line, but it moves fast. You need this in your life!
David Stone
Best kolache I’ve had in Houston. Warm and soft and just enough spice. The koblasnek rivals Morning Kolache for best in town. Decent coffee. Great experience.
Kim LeBlanc
I love this place. I've been coming here since the 70's. If you're wanting the best kolache in town... You've come to the right place. DELICIOUS!!
WILL G
This place is awesome and coming from a picky eater like myself, it says a lot. The food, prices, and the staff are great. My personal favorites are the sausage kolache (w/ or w/out jalapenos)(same price too,fyi) and steak/chicken croissant (looks like a thick hotpocket).
Quinetta 94
Not your average kolache! After this kolache shop, I'll never eat a basic kolache again! They're always fresh. Great selection! Super friendly staff! Large variety of freshly brewed teas!
Lorie Funes
One of my favorite places! Every time I have family come from out of state, this is one of the places I Take them. They all come back numerous times within the few days they’re here 😌 …
Ale Polio
The cinnamon roll is the bomb!
Michael Wixson
Quaint little bakery with phenomenal quality. You owe it to yourself to try everything at least once, especially the fajita steak kolache.
Andrew Tong
What. An. Amazing. Kolache.
We were headed down to Galveston from Houston and were looking for a quick bite on our way out of town. We researched a bit and stumbled across this well reviewed place. Passing from the outside, I was expecting a regular kolache shop. You know, like the same ones you see all over town. I was utterly surprised by how beautifully decorated the whole place was and how impressive the operation was.
First thing you'll probably notice is the smell of coffee. They have a legitimate coffee operation here full with espresso machine and barista serving up gourmet coffee. You can tell they really love their coffee because the next thing you'll notice are the burlap coffee sacks lining the ceiling giving it a warm, cozy feel. Then you'll notice the hip workers and music selection.
Then the kolaches. What an interesting assortment of kolaches! You have your basic fruit based kolache (fun fact it's what original kolaches actually should be) but I would recommend their savory selection. Their roast beef with bacon and cheese is to die for! I'm not sure if it's a classic kolache dough, but it's pretty much a savory pastry kolache style.
Overally, highly recommend this place. It's actually very close to Hobby, so no reason not to stop by if you're ever visiting the airport for a drop off or a pick up. Parking is scant, but there's plenty on the street itself.
Alex Santander
WOW! Words cannot express how grateful I am to the Original Kolache Shoppe and his owner!
About two weeks ago we have an event called Wolffest, the largest food festival at the University of Houston (UH), this food festival is to fundraise money for students scholarships at the UH and the Original Kolache donated coffee, the most delicious coffee i have ever had, and some other food items to support students at UH. Thank you so much to the owner, Kevin, for coming out and support a good cause.
I highly recommend the Original Kolache to everyone.
Denver Greene
Any time I head to the airport and this place is open I must stop by. They have the best kolaches in town. Roast beef, melted cheese, fluffy pastry, it's great.
Phillip Guerrero
Great kolaches, coffee.
Anthony
This place is great. Food is fresh & taste good. I highly recommend!!
Risa Perales
I am very proud to have this business in my neighborhood.. this place has been here since I a was a kid , I think the children of the originals owners picked up the torch and carried on the family legacy and they are doing such a great job . I love the way they have decorated the place inside with the coffee burlap bags on ceiling and just made it warm and inviting .. now onto the kolache these are the best !! these are not your average Shipley's kolache, this is the real deal with the real big , fat link sausage you would throw on the bbq pit ! their cinnamon rolls are huge and the fruit Danish's are glorious ! they also sell the best Texas pecan coffee you can every imagine & have a very large organic hot tea menu.. everyone in Houston should try this place @ least once in their life . if you have a really big order you can call in ahead of time and swing thru and pick them up fast . I give this place 10 stars and love to se the staff's team work !
Nancy Ghisalbert
First visit to purchase fruit Kolaches. Purchase 2 dozen and believe me you will not be disappointed. My grandchildren love them!
David Coronado
Very nice quaint spot with classic food.
Leah Oubre-Tyson
Where do I begin? The service was impeccable and personal. The shop is quaint and comfortable. I ordered a frappuccino, twas delish. The kolaches I ordered were remarkable and there was virtually no wait (I ordered by Tele). Thanks for a magnificent experience all around.
Mauricio Coronado
Kevin Dowd was one of my clients at Geek Squad in Gulfgate and he mentioned he owned this place which I was extremely exited to hear because I absolutely love Cafes.
I've never been a kolache fan but figured I'd at least stop on by for the coffee but man I walked in and everything smelled so good. The coffee smelled rich and the kolache I got was so great, now I think I just never had any good kolaches before this point.
Thanks so much Kevin, you're now my go to place for coffee and food before work.
Tyler Brooks
Most delicious kolaches in the city. I enjoy all the varieties such as pastrami, roast beef, of course sausage, I am always delighted when I go here.
Haven Iglesias
Love this place more and more everytime I go. seriously the best thing. they are original. brought my co workers the kolaches just so they could see what im always talking about
Tom Pekar
I only got to try the sausage kolaches because when I got there at 5:30, hoping they would have a good selection, they had very little of anything ready. I was told they don't have much until after 6. That would have been nice to know before I drove 30 minutes over there. If you open at 5 you should have kolaches ready to go. If you won't, don't open until later or at least state on your website that almost nothing is ready the first hour of operations. That said the sausage kolaches were ok, not up to my Czech grandmothers level. Sausage was too fine a grind, tasted more like a hotdog. Was looking forward trying the cheese and the poppy seed kolaches but nothing was ready.
Lupita B.
Came here because I was waiting for my dog to get out of the vet. No regrets. The Kolaches with Jalapeños are my favorite. This is my go to place now. 😄 …
Ivan Rivera
Awesome service, awesome kolaches and did I mention the coffee?! Either a cold brew with caramel or pecan coffee will hit the spot! Been coming to the place since 2008 and still an awesome experience!
Amanda Garcia
Best kolaches and cinnamon rolls EVER!!! I have yet to find a better place!! There is a reason why its always packed!!! Love this place !!
Aiar Ghelber
I am fat because of this place. Unkowingly I've been getting Kolaches from this place few times before. Today I got to meet the owner who got me even fatter by giving me Kolaches at the lake. Now, I need to buy more weight. Thank you Kevin.
Chris P
Everyone is friendly and they all love their jobs! It's apparent by the smiles every time you go! And they have amazing kolaches and fresh roasted coffee!
Phillip
I don't care where you live in Houston this place is well worth the drive. Hands down the best kolaches I have ever had! Great place. Coffee is great too.
Phil Soto
Great, this place is the BEST, I pass by so often since the 80's when was operated for some wonderful lady's with great customer service.
Jennifer Thai
Love the coffee here as well as the roast beef kolache. Cinnamon rolls are massive and more sugary and nutty versus the icing type.
Micah Thomas
The roast beef jalepeno is delicious. Also had their nitro brew, that was amazing! I also grab a bag of their pecan coffee every time I'm in Houston.
Hina Baig
The pastries are amazing. The Ethiopian Harrar coffee beans are even better! Makes a delicious espresso. Strong. Bold. Not bitter. Mmm.
Zero Cool
Great food, great service, great people running the place keep up the good work. we now come twice a week, and my wife does not like kolache's but she LOVES this place
Daja
I had a huge order and The staff was super nice and patient. The food is always fresh. I love love this place and so does my coworkers!
Cisco Trevino
Best kolaches and pastries in Houston . Kolaches are made from real sausage looks like ekrige sausage. Great tasting small place not good for dinning in.
Elizabeth Martinez
BEST CHICKEN FAJITA KOLACHE EVER!!!!
GREAT tea too!
LOVE sausage kolache as well!
Saul Vargas
First time going here and my first thought was (Wow why have I never came inside if I past by it all the time!!) Love the kolache's and the coffee it's the best
Jeffrey Solis
Not just the best Kolaches in town, but also the best Coffee!
Andy J
Kolache was excellent. Staff was excellent. Outside surroundings doesn't look appealing but I'm there for the food not the decor. Get there early or stand in line but its worth the wait. Will return.
Vianey Huerta
This is a hidden gem the coffee it's oit of this world and all the kolaches and pastries are always fresh parking kinda sucks since it's a small place but so worth the try
C Guss
This is the best breakfast spot. If you're looking for fresh, handmade items to eat, don't pass this place up.
William Stewart
Been coming here since I was little. I miss the small kolaches which they dont make anymore but everything is good. Havent had anything I didnt like and it gets addictive. Hands down best hidden gem in southeast Houston.
Matt DeYoung
So yummy and such nice people!! We will come again absolutely. Best kolaches my wife and I’ve ever had!
spongebobgl1800
Always think of this place but hadn't been to it in years. Made a special trip this morning and loved all that I brought home. Made me realize we need to make trips here more often. Mmmm good.
Ryan Irvine
I would consider these the best kolaches in Houston. Really unassuming exterior, with a surprisingly large amount going on inside. Huge selection of kolaches, fruit and meat, and they are all amazing.
Lauren Davenport
AHmazing, seriously this place is not only delicious, but adorable! Super friendly staff! Will definitely come back on my next stop in Houston, or even a few more times while I'm here lol!
Teresa Basaldua
Never disappointed when I go here. Everything is delicious.
Luis Cano
I love, love, love their pastries and kolaches. Great place will be going back for more. I definitely recommend this place. Lucky for me I live near by.
Maria Sosa
All the food is so good but I can make order to go and I hit home I miss some the order I suppose be order I call back I like they wait for my call 📞 they give my refund but I feel so bad because I have my hose full
Marcus McKissick
Really do not want to let this little gem to get out to the rest of Houston....however I will bragg about this place. Family operation handed down to new generation who has taken the old recipes and created new ones. You will not find kolaches like these anywhere in Houston......
Joe Blow
The jalapeno sausage kolache is as good as it gets in Houston. They also have a good selection of awsome coffee.
Yadira Velez
Before I review I have to tell you that don't go by the picture on google. It is actually behind the gas station it dosent show here. If you are not familiar with the area GPS it with the address (just off 45S.) We have passed by here before but never noticed the shop. We seen this on Cooking Channel last night. So we looked for it this morning and I am glad we did. Great kolache's and the apple stuffed kolache OMG to die for. We will be coming back.
Jimmy G
I love this place every time I come to town and head to Pear Land I stop and pick up some kolaches and pastries.
Cam. E.
Coffee is delightful!! It was my first time here just something random damn near got the whole menu between me and my husband

I drive by everday, the sasuage kolaches were cold and not as pleasant as i expected, maybe if i were to try a fresh one it would be better but honestly i was dissapointed.

Great service personality, the quality food product, the coffee...ugh just speaks through the original tasting flavors! Hard to resist. I am hooked.

The cinnamon roll bun thing here slaps Cinnabon in the face and gallops into the sunset. It redefines the concoction between sugar, spice, and dough. Tear off some of that sticky, sugar-coat-crunchy, spiced up gooeyness into your mouth, and it dawns on you that the cinnamon bun you've known all your life was a lie. Amazebuns.
Graciela Mireles
Great kolaches, great coffee, quick & convenient and awesome service. This little place has it all! What more could you ask for?
Victor Green
