This has been on my list for awhile and finally stopped in. Was a Saturday midday and they were busy! There is lots of outdoor seating and inside can eve a bit tight. Parking was ample as there is a side parking lot which it was full. Once inside the line wrapped around and there were many options. Ended up with a game and cheese kolache and coffee. They heated up the kolache before serving. As this was done before leaving the ordering area, it made sense why the line took a few to move. Service was friendly and great recommendations. I'd like to go back to try other kolchaes and they have a couple food trucks in the outside area if you wanted something more substantial. read more

Quick bite to eat and tea (yes tea! Going off coffee again) before a business meeting nearby. Grabbed their famous and most popular jalapeño kolache. It is a bit spicy...but I had to try it. Probably will not get that one again. The place is large and spacious (indoors and outdoors) and could be really great for groups. It has a large patio in the back that's used for Live music. They also have food trucks, one of which, is Paris BBQ. Therefore, you could listen to Live music have dinner or just have a adult beverage. They also feature comedy shows which is pretty cool. Their monthly calendar is posted on the wall. In addition, it is important to note they are on the pricier side. Sam, my server was super friendly and joyful. He steered me the ideal selections. Definitely will return in evening... read more

Y'all I'm slipping in my old age... can you believe I've never reviewed Batch or checked in? Here's what happens, I start reviews and then they sit in my Yelp drafts...sometimes for a year or so. True story. I gotta get better at that. It's why I'll sometimes post multiple reviews in a day...cleaning out that pending box Ok. You're ready for me to stop rambling now am I correct? Batch rules! It's a cute stone house that like so many places in Austin has been converted to a restaurant. Cool stained glass windows. Counter and table seating inside. Extremely clean. Huge back patio and yard space that's shared with food trucks like Bummer Burrito and Parish Barbecue. Note: Inside is absolutely not dog friendly. Don't even take your pooch in with you to order. With that said, that outdoor patio is extremely dog friendly. Our fur guy loves playing there. Batch carries the finest craft beers, coffee, lattes, etc. The homemade oatmeal cream pies are balls to the wall insane. Like so good. The kolaches are king! Light, soft, and filling. The variety is almost overwhelming for someone indecisive like myself. I always end up with jalapeño and sausage. Ham and cheese is good, so is the one with the eggs. Heck, they're all good. The sweet ones rule. Almond sweet cheese knocks my socks off. Service is good. The folks at Batch are just rad people. I don't hesitate to bring out of town friends and family for a good time. read more

Just FYI the wifi isn't good. The kolaches were better than I remembered, but I wish there were more savory non-pork options. Maybe a beef sausage using KG scraps? Beer is drinkable and cold. Service is always friendly! read more

Such a cool and chill place! Definitely reminds of the old Austin of the 70's. The kolaches are to die for. This is a definite mainstay for Austin. Huge back yard under the trees and shaded. Their beer is so special, unique flavor and wide possibilities. I had a sausage and jack cheese kolache and OMG it was delish. I even got one to go. Ate it the next morning and heating it up was a charm in the microwave. My beer choice that day was Shine. A hazy pale with a 4.5 ABV. It was beyond tasty and if I was the brewer, I would never let this one go. Staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. Sam and Raul are the bomb!Shine on Batch. read more

Visited on a Saturday morning about 2 hours after opening and was quickly served! Front staff is very kind and friendly. Can sit indoor or outside, lots of space for both. Also plenty of space for parking. Ordered the two plant-based kolaches and they are very similar. Slightly prefer just the veggie sausage kolache over the hashbrown one (enjoyed the bread a little more). Now the sweet kolaches were amazing! Can't pick a favorite. Good balance of filling and bread for both. Each one was about the size of my hand and could split between two people if you wanted! Highly recommend spotting by. read more

It's always a good time for a kolache and coffee. Batch is super cool because it has coffee, kolaches and beer so there's something for everyone. I loved the pepperoni kolache- it reminded me of a pepperoni roll. The sausage and cheese was nice with super gooey melted cheese. The peppermint mocha was awesome- a perfect holiday pick me up! I look forward to coming back here and enjoying their patio! read more

Batch is a super cool spot to grab fresh kolaches, hot coffee, and/or a cold beer... it gets super busy on the weekends and is a fun place to hang out with friends while grabbing drinks and some food! FAST FACTS: * Parking - small lot that wraps around the building with additional parking in the back but it can be tough to find a spot on the weekends (street parking nearby)* Online ordering - available through their website for catering * Happy hour - all day Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday through Friday from 4:00 - 7:00 pm with $1 off drafts * Coffee and espresso menu in partnership with Greater Goods Roasting SERVICE - You wait in a line to order but the food and drinks are prepared quickly. There are plenty of tables available both inside and outside so seating isn't an issue even when they are busy. The workers I interacted with were all pleasant and I had a good experience overall! PRICING - The total was $24.49 after tax ($1.89) but before tip for 2 sausage, jalapeño, and cheese kolaches ($4.95 each), 2 fruit sweet cheese kolaches ($4.75 each), and a hibiscus tea ($3.50). I think the pricing is reasonable considering size of the kolaches. I'm not a drinker so I can only speak to the food! For anyone reading who isn't familiar with kolaches, they're a Czech pastry with a fruit or cheese filled yeasted dough. In the Czech Republic, you typically only find sweet variations but Texas offers a lot of savory, usually sausage-filled versions (technically this is a klobásník but they tend to just call both the sweet and savory variations "kolaches"). SAUSAGE, JALAPEÑO, AND CHEESE KOLACHE (8/10) - Pretty good! The sausage inside is cut in half length-wise so you don't get a whole sausage but there's plenty of cheese and jalapeño pieces inside as well as baked into the dough. One was baked more than the other but both were good. I'd order this again! FRUIT SWEET CHEESE KOLACHE (8/10) - I went with cherry and I loved the sweet but slightly tart flavor! The dough is soft but still dense and the ratio of dough to filling was great. I'd order this again! This was my first time at Batch and I will definitely be back! Even as someone who doesn't drink alcohol, it was a super cool place the hangout. The kolaches were good and they have a great variety available... I brought a friend here who was visiting from New York to try her first kolache and I think it left a good impression! read more

Batch is what Austin is all about. Live-music, coffee, and outdoor seating. Batch went one step ahead and also had Czech specials - like savory and sweet kolaches. They also have a wide varitey of beers. I had a pilsner and an IPA. Also they have vegan kolaches. Got a vegan sausage kolaches and a gouda kolaches. They had live Irish band and plenty of outdoor seating! They're also open late in the night. read more

A friend of mine was promoting a jam session for jazz musicians so I went to check it out with a friend. So glad I did. What a fun location with inside and outside seating. We were inside for the jam session. It was so fun to see all these young musicians getting up there to showcase their talent! I was impressed. I almost thought about singing but I didn't think I was ready nor did I have the sheet music for the musicians. I only had some green/tropical tea as we were there for a short time, but they were nice enough to give me hot water refills. I look forward to coming back to try some kolaches and maybe sing next time. :-) read more

Don't let the one $ deceive you. It's not dirt cheap but it's not ridiculously priced either. The ham and cheese kolache was prob my favorite. Soft and flakey, and just the right amount of cheese and ham. I was rlly looking forward to the jalapeños one but it wasn't as great as I expected. The sweet kolaches were on the sweeter side. If you're not a sweets person, I'd recommend sticking to the savory kolaches. Lines get long quick so be prepared or come early in the morning. Limited interior space but they do have outdoor seating. There's also a bbq food truck conveniently in the area so good lunch option as well. read more

Batch - Craft Beer and Kolaches - Kolaches (sweet and savory) - Beer Bar Near Me - Austin, Texas

I visited Batch with a friend this past Sunday morning, and I loved it. So what's to love? Firstly - and most importantly - the kolaches. Like a lot of kids that grew up in Texas, I grew up preferring kolaches to donuts (the donut shops around where I grew up offered both, and I never understood why anyone would choose a donut over a kolache!). (FYI for readers not as familiar with kolaches: A kolaches is a Czech pastry - a yeasted dough filled with various fillings (usually sweet - cheese or fruit). They're very popular in Texas due to a strong/prominent Czech immigrant community in Central Texas. In Texas, a variation on the kolache, called klobasneky and filled with variations of sausage, jalapeno, and cheese, is extremely popular.) Walking into Batch made me so happy. After the classic spots in West (the town of West, Texas, not the region of West Texas), this might be the biggest selection of kolaches I've seen: sausage jalapeno cheese, sausage cheese, pepperoni, veggie sausage gouda, fruit sweet cheese, and so many more! I chose a sausage jalapeno cheese (my go to), and it was great. The dough was fluffy and soft. The sausage was great. And they did not skimp on the jalapeno - this was a hot kolache. They warmed it up to the perfect temp. Just a delight to eat. They have tons of seating inside, very retro with lots of tables. Then there's lots of seating outside as well. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at Batch. If I still lived in Austin, I'm sure I'd make my way there pretty regularly for a delicious breakfast. read more

I find Batch to be underwhelming overall. The location is nice and the have ample parking, They have a large outside space along with plenty of seating inside if that's more your thing. All kolaches have milk in the batter. It would be great if they could make one without for people with a lactose allergy. The coffee they serve here is lawsuit hot. Have to wait 15 minutes minimum for it to cool off. Every time I go I'm shocked at how long the line is inside and how slow the staff moves. This weekend there were 6 people behind the bar, but only one person working a cash register when there were 8 guests waiting to place their order. read more

I like that it's patience and you can pick your own seat outside or inside and also the food menu is vegan friendly and they sell merchandise and it's easy to read labels. The bathrooms are outside the first area of the restaurant and there's only two stalls inside the females restrooms.. the patio outside. You can pick your own table and they have lights on the patio. Music is interesting all different levels . Very casual place. I'm assuming it is dog friendly because they have the patty outside and it's salsa kid friendly you can put your baby stroller in here if you need to. The parking is kind of small, but they do have a stage inside for bands. Thank you for having us all here for the free class on Saturday for the locksmith picking. Loud music makes me want go outside to the tables . read more

Dropped in on a Saturday night during winter. They were out of the Veggie Sausage kolaches, so I settled for a Jalapeño Cheese kolache. Pine Double IPA is good. I stayed to watch two consecutive musicians. The first sang with an acoustic guitar. The next singer, with a banjo. It was too cold to sit outside, but I did grab some food from the Bummer Burrito food truck. This was my first visit. I look forward to returning to try more from their menu, including, coffee, kolaches, and beer. read more

Wow what a delicious place to stumble upon! Walked in today expecting some decent kolaches and walked out biting into the most delicious kolache I've ever had. My friend was with me and said these kolaches were life changing. He also had a vanilla latte and was also floored by the taste. Service was exceptional from the moment we stepped in and the vibe was so chill. Many of the people here seemed to be working remote. If I worked remote I'd definitely consider coming here for some nice scenery. It also seems like they have live music because there was a calendar on the wall with bookings every night. Would love to come back another day and actually sit and stay a while. read more

Rude! Came in and ordered food. Cashier didn't have enough cash to make any change so they wouldn't serve me due to their own fault of not being prepared as a business. Cashier was ego driven and rude about not using a credit card, dismissing me in a rude way. Was excited when I walked in and disappointed when I left. Manager or owner should make sure their cashier have cash to make change with and do their job vs turn away business. Not everyone uses credit cards for small purchases nor should they be expected to. Figure out how to run an American business that accepts American currency! read more

Live music. Beer. Kolaches. Perfect place to introduce my California friends what Texas is all about.

Such a unique place! They offer coffee, craft beer and kolaches. We opted for the hazy IPA and peanut butter kolsch with the jalapeño cheese kolache and the peanut butter jelly kolache. We enjoyed everything we tried and the kolaches were a nice size for the price! Not a full meal size (if you're very hungry) but a good midafternoon snack. The beer was also good and there was ample indoor (where there is live music) and outdoor seating (with fun areas for kids to play). read more

On our recent to visit to Austin, Batch was a true highlight. Let's just get straight to it: Batch has parking! And lots of it! Conveniently, the bus stop is right out front, too. Batch has a GREAT outdoor area. This would be a super fun place to bring your pup or sit in the sun with a beer. Batch has WIFI! There were a number of people posted up with headphones and laptops. Batch (sometimes) has live events! When we visited, there was a saxophone + bongo drum duo (Keep Austin Weird). Batch has bar seats! Who doesn't love cozying up on a couple of stools and chatting with the bartenders. Batch has beer, coffee, AND kolaches - the Austin food pyramid. What else could you want? Their house beers are tasty, and they have savory and sweet kolache options. We visited on a Friday afternoon, and I was thrilled to enjoy their happy hour. We loved the live music and the friendly staff. My only disappointment was that I realllly wanted a PBJ kolache, but they were sold out. I can say good things about the sausage and cheese and strawberry ones though - tasty time. I truly loved Batch. Quintessential ATX. read more

Best kolaches you'll ever have in your life. Such a nice chill place to get a casual meal where staff is always super friendly. There's a lot of seating both indoors and out in the back patio area.

Friendly staff and good kolaches here! Good place to bring your laptop and get some work done as well.

What I ate: - PB&J Kolache: this was pretty good. Nice PB flavor with the bright acidic kick of the jam. But I wouldn't crave this - Cortado: One of the better cortados I've had. Rich creamy espresso pick me up that I needed that afternoon - Beer on tap Pros: - Coffee shop w/kolaches meets bar. - HUGE outdoor area with plenty of picnic benches - I think they had boules/games and such outside - Inside seating was decent. Honestly a nice place to come to study/work - Parking was decent Cons: - We opted to sit outside, and I regretted it when I got home. My legs were bit up from mosquitos - When we got there in the afternoon, there were only a few kolache flavors available - There was a small but decent number of beers on tap, maybe 6ish? Would I come again? Probably not read more

One of the last great community spots in Austin. Delicious coffee, great beers on draft and you cannot beat their kolaches. From sweet to savory. And they change up their kolache fillings from time to time so things are always fresh. Oh, and they make a mean dirty chai. The staff is very friendly and I appreciate that they host so many local music events. I love their community jazz nights. I was just there yesterday for an afternoon of hip hop music out in their SPACIOUS backyard. read more

This was my first time trying kolaches, and they were soooo delicious! It's like a hot pocket, but way better. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived around 10:30 AM on a Monday, they were sold out of a lot of flavors. That said, I'd highly recommend the Sausage Jalapeño Cheese kolache. It wasn't too spicy and was absolutely crave-worthy. I'm already thinking about having another! I also tried the Pepperoni and Cheese kolache, but I thought it was just okay in comparison. They have a parking lot, so parking was free and super convenient, which was a nice bonus. If you're in Austin, Batch is definitely worth a visit for their kolaches. Just make sure to get there early so you can have more flavor options to choose from! read more

Batch has a fun coffee house/bar vibe with an indoor stage and table seating and a large outdoor space with additional seating. They host a good number of live music shows, which is what brought us out several times. They do make and serve baked goods, including kolaches. I would be careful of those in the evening, however, as they bestowed upon me a rather unpleasant bout of food poisoning. Fresh is best. The beer selection is very good, but the wines are a basic red, white, or rose. Beer is the focus here, hence the name. The female bartender was friendly and helpful. Batch is a good spot to meet up with friends, and the live music is a bonus. Parking is available in their lot. read more

Batch is a really cool spot in Austin. I had family visiting who wanted to try the kolaches so we headed in. The kolaches look awesome, but sadly there are no vegan options. There seems to be a separate food truck that has a vegan breakfast option, but I was not able to try it out on this visit. A member of my party ordered a latte, which ended up taking 25 minutes. It was a little odd, as it wasn't that crowded and our kolaches came out in minutes. Nevertheless, great vibes and a cool place to hang out. I wish the PBJ beer didn't have lactose would LOVE if they had just one vegan kolache option! read more

I stopped in after a fitness class and was craving some coffee. The folks there were pretty friendly and it looked like there was plenty of space. The parking lot seemed a bit small but I was able to find some parking on the left side of the building. I got the jalapeño sausage and cheese kolache and a jalapeño cheese kolache. I think it was around 12:30 or so and they still had a decent amount of options. They were pretty decent sized and the sausage was yummy. Though very different from the sausage kolaches im used to getting from a neighborhood mom/pop donut shop. I was eyeballing the tacos but they don't serve those until 3pm so have to go back another time. The coffee was just a plain drip and was good. I might have to go back another time to try their cold brew which they mentioned was very strong. Overall, my first time visit was pleasant and definitely wouldn't mind coming back to try their other offerings read more

Great place to get coffee and kolaches for a weekend brunch. We had the savory klobasnek types with ham & cheese, jalapeño sausage and cheese, and veggie sausage. These are relatively huge, so we didn't feel hungry all day. We also had the OG berry, which paired perfectly with our lattes. A little later and we would have enjoyed some of their brews. The outdoor patio is expansive and pup friendly. It's very family-friendly as well. There are plenty of parking spots and seats in the shade. The staff are the best. read more
