    A portion of the available selection
    TC V.

    Absolutely love the spicy ham & Swiss croissant! It is a must. It was huge to have a bilingual working there, she is super polite and helped my experience to be amazing. Her recommendations were superb. Can't wait to go back!! Make sure yall check it out and become a fan.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Hilary G.

    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.

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. So not cheap but the flavor and presentation was nice. It's a must try in Houston. They do not suffer from a lack of business. So lines can be long. They are efficient however!! Bon appetit

    As part of the Post Oak Hotel, you can access this place from both inside and outside entrance…read more This place is super cute and seems to have a fair amount of people who come here to work or place an order from an good assortment of pastries and gelato's. What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.

Inside you will also find French pastries, coffees and teas, gelato, milkshakes, sandwiches and macaroons. I felt the most interesting items were the French pastries as they are cute and tasty as well. Also, they plate the pastries nicely when you dine in as an added bonus. I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

We finally came around to checking it out and OMG YES. It absolutely is worth the hype. As a lover of egg tarts and someone who is also very particular about it - these have won my heart! 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.

It might not look great inside but that's when you know they focus on how the food taste, not wasting their energy on what the store looks like. Egg tarts 5/5 - must get especially when fresh and warm out of the oven, the eggy filling is sweet and soft but dangerously hot when too fresh so be careful, the flakey tart shell is soft but crispy at the edges helping to balance the jiggly egg filling. Pork puff pasty (cha siu sow) 5/5 - another must get, if sweets aren't your thing or you are craving something savory then this is for you, again the puff pastry so flakey and delicious, the pork filling wasn't very much but just enough to help accompany the soft yet crispy shell, the pork was soft and and just juicy enough to not be too overwhelmed with sauce but not dry either. Wife cookie (1/5) - skip this and don't waste your calories, the puff pastry again was lovely and flakey but I think they dropped the ball on the filling, it was a bit too goopy and thick for my liking, traditional wife cookies have candied wintermelon or some other firmer additives to give it more of a textual change but this one didn't have any of that and even the puff pastry couldn't balance it out, stick to the other 2 items instead. Tip: use cash to save on credit card fee (2.5% I think)

I've always liked bakeries, but I try to eat on the healthier side, so I usually avoid anything that might tempt me.But I am a sucker for cinnamon rolls, so when I saw they had them, of course I had to try one and they are so, so good. 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.

I was indecisive so I asked the owner for recommendations and she chose the Mont Blanc and Total Raspberry Tart. Both pastries were perfect- the tart has a raspberry cream on the bottom and the fruit was fresh and naturally sweet. Not to mention, the crust was absolutely delicious. The Mont Blanc was just as tasty. The chestnut puree, Chantilly cream, and crust were all *chef's kiss* And the best part of it all is that the pastries were not too sweet (for those of you who are new to Asian pastries, they are meant to be lighter and not overly sweet)! While my friend and I were enjoying the pastries, I was able to have a brief conversation with the owner and she was incredibly welcoming and kind. Overall, I was thrilled to be able to finally try Chez Kobayashi Pastries and I can't wait to come back and try their savory dishes! ごちそうさまでした‍
