    Karma Kolache I found this location by just searching Google. The different types of kolaches were very interesting I had to try multiples. The donut selections were awesome, also the kids really enjoyed the different varieties. This is a nice hidden Gem in the Katy, Texas area. The service was pretty good I thought that the person who was serving me had interest in what I was getting.

    This place has an assortment of Kolaches and donuts. I haven't tried all of them, but most are above average. I've heard rumors that the owners won't give credit card tips to the employees and they keep them for themselves. So if you tip, try and leave it in cash - not sure how true that it, but a customer asked me to leave a tip in cash. If it is true, shame on the owners. Staff is always friendly. They are also fast and efficient. They also have a rewards program as well as free donut with Yelp checkin.

    An array of options

    DID SOMEONE SAY PEPPERONI PIZZA KOLACHE??? Great little Kolache spot! Stopped here to buy my grandson some breakfast before dropping him off to school. I checked in on Yelp and received a free donut and boy was my grandson happy about that, lol! He ordered a plain beef Kolache with no cheese as if he knew what he was doing. I asked him "how do you know what you want right away? You haven't looked at all the other choices." He said, "Pawpaw brings me here for breakfast sometimes before taking me to school." I was like, "ohhh I see!" Originally, I was only here for my grandson until I scanned the array of Kolache sandwiches behind the counter and I was like, "Whoah! I think I want a Kolache too!" I'm not a breakfast person during the week so this was an extremely tempting situation for me, and one that I could not resist! I succumbed to the rich buttery aroma that was hovering in the atmosphere! I was so lost as I attempted to choose just one Kolache. This task proved to be a difficult one. In the end, I settled for a plain beef Kolache with no cheese because my grandson says that it's great! He was correct! I enjoyed it a little too much. Instead of eating it, I scarfed it down as if I was starving, lol. However, I was able to taste the rich robust and sweet buttery flavor of the croissant which tasted really great with the flavor of the beef sausage. What a great mixture of infused flavors! Next time, and yes there's definitely going to be a next-time, I'm going to try a different Kolache. Maybe, I'll try the brisket Kolache, or maybe the boudin Kolache, or maybe the Philly Cheesesteak Kolache, or maybe the cheeseburger Kolache, or maybe the Chicken Feta Cheese Kolache, or maybe the PEPPERONI PIZZA KOLACHE! Didn't I tell ya? It's no easy task when it should be, lol. There's an extensive selection which makes it difficult but it's worth it! Overall, this establishment is really nice! They are open as early as 6:00 am during the week and it seems like it can get pretty busy as there was a slight line when my son and I arrived around 6:30 am. Customer service is good. It's not anything special to brag about but it's good. Highly recommended!

    Chocolate cronut and brisket kolache
    Veronica M.

    We are regular customers, and this kolache place has been here for about 10 years. They have fresh-made options and introduce new flavors sometimes. I like getting the brisket kolache with a cronut! The service is friendly and family-owned.

    Piece of baking steel
    Tammy V.

    After receiving some custom letters for Mother's Day donuts, I bit into a piece of steel. It must be from a tool they use or equipment. Tried to call them but no answer. Mailbox was full.

    Regular Dozen Donut Holes
    Chelsey W.

    There was a good variety of options for kolaches and donuts. The kolaches were ok. It seemed like online they offered more meatless options but when in person, they offered the same meatless options you can find at other places. The donut holes were really good though! They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and had the perfect amount of icing! And they even had red velvet donut holes! It was decent to try because I had never been before, but nothing any more special compared to other donut shops.

    Jalapeno Popper Kolache (no flavor)
    Kirsten D.

    I'm sorry but these kolaches fell very short of what I was expecting. Extremely underwhelming mainly because there was no flavor. I ordered the carnitas, sausage egg and cheese, and jalapeño popper kolaches. To say that these were disappointing is an understatement. The carnitas had absolutely no flavor and the meat was dry. It was just pulled pork without even salt or pepper. The sausage one should have had flavor at least from the sausage but even that was bland. So with those two being duds I was hoping the jalapeño one would have some flavor from the pepper. Boy was I let down. Nothing. No kick, no heat, no flavor. I might as well have eaten a chunk of cream cheese. Sad. And no, I don't have Covid. I'm sorry, I don't like leaving "bad" reviews but these kolaches gave me food depression. The saving grace as it were was the guy who took my order. He was nice. But good service won't go far if the food isn't good.

    Spicy boudin kolache - soooo delicious!!
    Sonja R.

    Today was my 1st time visiting and I am definitely pleased!!! I got lost and the lady on the phone was sooooo helpful in directing me to the store. Very polite!! I walk in and there was a variety to choose from and I had to take a moment just to decide. I finally decided on the spicy sausage and cheese and the spicy boudin. OMG!!! Absolutely delicious!!! Usually when stores say spicy, it isn't true. Not the case with spicy boudin!! The spicy sausage wasn't that spicy for me. However, the bread for both was so buttery, soft and fresh!!! I signed up with my phone nu.ber and was able to get a free doughnut, which was cool!!! I took a picture of the spicy boudin one but I was almost done with the spicy sausage one and realized I didn't snap a picture. I was too busy enjoying the food!!! I will definitely return because there are others that I am looking forward to trying!!! Very satisfied!!!!

    Christmas tree in lobby

    They have the best boudin kolaches on this side of town!!! They come in spicy or not spicy. One kolache is definitely filling and they are heads and shoulders over Shirley's kolaches. The shop is very small and quaint and not made for dining in I have tried their red velvet cake and old fashioned doughnuts and they are both good. They are not too cakey so that us good. This has become our recent favorite quick breakfast stop!

    Amazing spot! Try the blueberry iced cake donuts! also it's cheaper if you call and place an order we're just going in yourself because they're so quick and yelp charges additional money on top of what they do. My take out total on Yelp. Today was $17 and some change and going in store and buying it myself was only $15 and change.

    Big variety
    Erica G.

    Wowww... Ive lived in this area, grew up in North Glen and have NEVER been here. I finally got the chance to come in and see what they have. Their kolache collection is insane. They have everything from mac n cheese kolaches to philly cheese steak.. Chorizo.. You name it! It's owned by an asian family which was surprising considering that their chorizo was amazing! Free donut when you check it! You should definitely check it out if youre nearby. The only downfall is that they are a bit pricey.. Definitely great quality!

French style baguettes are perfect. The only problem is the pastries suffer from humidity of Houston and if not eaten fresh they can get soggy and lose their texture. I am referring to the mille fuille. The chocolate cake was really good and held up for a few days. I bought 4 baguettes, 4 mille fuille, 4 chocolate cakes and 2 boxes of mixed macaroons for $100.

I also heard great things about the mango mochi so we couldn't leave without those. Thankfully they still had some in stock. I heard they sell out quickly especially on weekends. Those also lived up to its hype. SO YUMMY! Tastes so fresh including the mangoes. My kiddo who LOVES mango anything loved them so much! My husband also got 2 savory pastries (I forgot what they were called and I forgot to take a picture) and those were yummy too. Perfectly flakey crust just like the egg tarts. We wanted to get sesame balls but they were sold out. Customer service was great. The guy that took our order was very nice. It was pretty busy but he moved through the line quickly. There's some seating inside if you want to eat there. Prices are very reasonable at $2 each for the mochi and egg tarts. The savory pastries were $3. It's located in a shared lot/area. Parking can be tight and limited on a busy weekend day but they have parking right out front for the Eck bakery customers. Also note that if you pay with card it's a 2.5% charge so cash is better if you have it. We didn't but we know now for future. We had a great experience here and will definitely be back. Next time we'll come earlier and get a bigger order and try their other offerings.

Now we actually go there about once every two weeks because we love it that much and I look forward to opening the front doors and smelling the sweet smell of baked goods Recently we also found out that they have cheese & sausage kolaches, and oh my gosh, they are delicious. They are really, really good and were such a nice surprise when we tried them. The location closest to us is the one on Airline Drive, and we usually go in the afternoon so we can avoid the after-work crowd. That time of day works really well for us because there aren't too many people, which makes it easier to grab bread and look around without feeling rushed. The ordering process is pretty quick and simple. You grab your metal tray and tongs, open each little door, pick what you want, and put it on the tray. When you're ready, you go to the register where the ladies count the breads, ring everything up, and bag it nicely for you. We're usually in and out pretty fast, which we really like.
