    There aren't a lot of kolache places in New York. Being from Texas, I feel like kolaches were such a staple for some reason. It was really nice to see a kolache shop with such extension options - especially the vegetarians ones. I got the mushroom and it was delicious! They also have seasonal kolaches as well so definitely come check this place throughout the years. They also have seasonal drinks as well and the latte I got was delicious.

    What a neighborhood gem!! Excellent coffee and the kolache are just like my mother makes. They have fresh fruit filled as well as meat fillings for breakfast. If you're in the area plan to stop here. It is fantastic and so are the staff.

    Vegan biscuit with strawberry butter

    I had wanted to visit this place for a long time. So many kolache options including a vegan biscuit with a few different vegan butter spreads (strawberry and chive). They also have a lot of seasonal flavored drinks that looked delicious. They have seating in front that is open air, indoors in the back, as well as a back patio.

    Cherry cheese pastry, orange roll and a delicious drip coffee served piping hot with oat milk.

    Cold rainy day and what could be more welcoming than a delicious coffee with oat milk at the charming Brooklyn Kolache. I also tried the cherry cheese pastry which reminded me of one I had visiting relatives in Slovakia. The pastry was chewy/bready, the cherries tart and the cheese creamy in all the best proportions The orange twist roll also didn't disappoint. Serves hot at your request this cutie packs an unexpected punch. Biting into it your face is bathed in a warm orange scented steam cloud due to the orange zest glaze that really doesn't look like it can pack that much sweet zestiness into each bite. Inside seating is limited to 3 counter seats and today a groovy hipster was giving a tarot reading to a young woman who was lamenting why can't she just date men AND women. I say any man or woman she brings here will be weak in the knees at the first bite of pastry. Outside is a small patio open to the street but defined by ironwork with a black and white floor making the space much more cozy than most sidewalk offerings. I can't wait to come back to try the spiced maple latte. Or the cardamom matcha. Or the lavender latte.

    This has been a safe haven for me since I moved to the neighborhood awhile back this past year. Wonderful artisanal coffee (café artesanal) and vegan options if that is your personal dietary subscription. Lovely community [leave a book-take a book] library by their back-of-the-shop garden seating in the cafe. Thanks for being a sanctuary in the community

    First time trying kolache! Stopped in the evening near close and it was a nice place to chat over a warm beverage and a snack! I tried the sausage and cheese and thought it was quite good. Reminded me a lot of Chinese bread with its yeast. The service here was really great, super nice man behind the counter, especially given that it was near closing time on a Friday! They are on too good to go as well if people are interested.

    I've been in this neighborhood for 5 years, but accidentally went there for the first time last week. I had matcha latte and jalapeño, egg and cheese bread once and now I miss them every day. I'm looking forward to coming back again

    Blueberry Sweet Cheese Kolache, Kielbasa , jalapeno and cheese kolache, and ube latte

    First off, petitioning for a Queens location! Brooklyn Kolache is in Brooklyn and now Manhattan so obviously next up is Queens right...right?? Fingers crossed! After moving to NYC from ATX, I have missed my kolache fix and BK surely filled that pastry sized hole in my heart. Whenever I am here or convince a friend who lives by to pickup an order for me, I stock up. My absolute favorite is the sausage jalapeño cheese kolache so I get 2-3 of those. I also try various other savory kolaches including their egg & cheese varities. They have vegetarian options as well. As for the sweet kolaches, I always get the blueberry as well as the lemon and try others like the cherry. I just spotted s'mores on their menu so now I need to try that one because I love s'mores. It's not often that I am able to try their coffee drinks but most recently I finally was able to try their ube latte which I ordered hot. I love anything ube and this latte hit the spot. I'd like to try it iced next time. So to sum up, come to Queens, Brooklyn Kolache!!!

    Apple kolache Salted Caramel Latte ICed
    Destiny R.

    Came here to work on the patio when the weather was nice and got everything I needed! Apple kolache was super soft, fluffy, sweet. Salted Caramel Latte was a great but the Flavor wasn't too noticeable. I may need to have just stirred a little more lol.

    Menu - lots already sold out by 11am!
    Annalise W.

    I had never heard of kolaches before, but stumbled upon this place. I recommend coming early - came on the weekend around 11am and they were already sold out of half the menu! There wasn't a line at all when we came and we were able to sit with our dog at one of the outdoor tables in the front. The dough reminds me of the Chinese sweet buns - so doughy and the perfect amount of sweetness. My only tiny thing is that I wish the toppings / fillings for some of them were more evenly dispersed. But all in all, everything was great and I'll definitely come back. I wanted to try as much as possible so I ordered the below: -Cherry Sweet Cheese: yum. I wish the cheese was a bit more evenly dispersed, but this was great. -Blueberry Sweet Cheese: delicious. If I had to pick between the two fruits, this was my favorite. -Everything: yum. I just wish there was more cream cheese. It was just a tiny amount off to one side. -Sausage and Cheese: yum. This was my favorite savory one. I just wish there was more cheese. -Mushroom and Goat Cheese: very good, but I wish the toppings were inside because there's only a tiny amount of mushrooms on top. I probably wouldn't order again because of this. -Sweet Cheese: good, but with all the other delicious toppings to choose from I wouldn't order this again. -Sausage Jalapeño and Cheese: good! But

    This is a real cozy place to eat something wholesome and enjoy the atmosphere. There's free wifi and you can sit in front of the entrance, inside the main area and the back. There's also a garden area out back as well! After 5 pm it's Bogo for the Kolaches. The staff is friendly and kind.

    1 star off for the service. the guy was rolling his eyes at us and looked angry. i assume he had a bad day, but it scared me : ( The Kolache we got was cherry, quite yummy & chewy, though a bit small (pictures are deceiving!)

    Kolache x 3 - get the Texas beef sausage!!
    Gab G.

    COVID report: Limited outdoor seating (no heaters) and no indoor seating as of November 2021. Awesome coffee shop where the main draw is kolache (delicious puffy dough pastries). My boyfriend and I tried: + Spinach and feta kolache + Ham and cheese kolache + Texas beef sausage kolache + Ube latte The latte was awesome, and my favorite kolache was the Texas beef sausage one. Definitely will be back!

    Front: Kielbasa , jalapeno and cheese kolache  Back: Mushroom and goat cheese kolache

It's very cozy and homey. But just remember to be courteous, that this is a business so it's okay to do work here but if you're gonna be chilling for a while make sure you're getting some drinks every hour or tipping the 'tender. Also careful with some of the hot drinks they can be really.... hot. I burnt the roof of my tongue on my hot cider drink.

You think they are going to just hand you your dreams? I don't want a treat. I didn't earn a treat. A black coffee is like running on an empty stomach. It puts you in a different mindset. Survival mode. On the hunt. I gotta earn the food. Imagine what they would say about me if they saw me drinking a dirty chai latte in the morning. Imagine what I would say about myself. I didn't earn that. I need to stay close to God. All this to say I tend to stay far away from hyped up coffee shops but my big bro wanted to hit Rhythm Zero, and he is big bro for a reason, so I obliged. I entered into a small space that feels vast. High ceilings. Minimal furniture. Huge Renaissance-style art on the walls. An environment tailor made for you to lose sight of yourself and order their $8 Coco Americana. I won't lie. I thought about it. A moment of weakness. "It's just an americano that swaps out standard water for chilled coconut water..." No. I went to the bathroom and looked myself in the mirror. COWARD! Who do you want to be? I walked out.

Went with a friend and we both immediately felt a bad energy. The person taking our order was just a little stand off ish. We just wanted to get our drinks and get out as quick as possible. We got the blackberry matcha and a latte. You're not going for the matcha, because the matcha flavor isn't really there ~ the blackberry was fine, super sweet though. Had 3 espresso shots in the latte yet it was still somehow so watered down and had an odd aftertaste. Big yikes overall, we could've dealt with the weird pretentious vibes if the coffee was actually good. Only upside is TakuSando is a block away. EDIT: For Bri Can totally understand if people have off days, maybe the baristas were having a bad day, it happens. Either way, the review reflects what we experienced. We had heard great things but unfortunately felt unwelcome from the moment we ordered, whether intentional or not ~ the energy felt cold to us and that changed the experience. & we just didn't love the drinks. You're def right, Rhythm Zero just isn't our cup of tea and that's totally fine. Hope yall continue to do your best and serve the fan base you have :) Love small businesses, don't love a weird Yelp guilt trip (which seems like a pattern for you across all 3 locations...)
