    The assortment
    Tawny V.

    I've been here once before, and yeah, I've always thought they're kinda overpriced. A savory kolache can run you about $3 to $5.50, including the breakfast ones. The sweet traditional ones are around $3 but pretty small. The vibe is pretty plain, but the customer service was great, which is why they get an extra star!

    I have been here many times. This time was because a family member is coming into town and can use an easy breakfast on the go. I got a half dozen ranchers. They are mildly spicy abd delish. There was no wait. We were there on a weekday around noon. The vibe is casual and the place is always clean. They were still warm. I take a piece of wax paper and wrap it and freeze them. Try to put in the fridge the night before and microwave before eating. The perfect on the go breakfast. It is a hearty breakfast. I could probably have a half but its hard to not finish. Depending on time of day, parking can be snug but available. Of course I will return!

    Finally had kolaches, and they did not disappoint! I tried the potato egg and cheese one and it was absolutely delicious. Soft doughy ball stuffed with a variety of different flavors and options. I had a cinnamon roll which I shared with my husband, we both thought it was delicious. I also had a cheesecake flavored latte, they offer milk alternatives like oat and almond milk, I opted for oat milk, and my latte was surprisingly good. Not super sweet which I liked. Customer service was great. The cashier who took our order was super helpful and was patient with us as it was our first time here. Inside the place is small, there is a counter with stools along the windows and some seating outside as well. This is more of a grab and go place but we ate there and we had a great experience overall. We will be back here for sure to try more!

    I've never had kolache factory until my company decided to cater them. Let me tell ya, they're so filling! Think of a Chinese bun but with thicker bun and a variety of options. I personally love the ranchero (ground ham, salsa, cheese and jalapeños). They're great in size, I can get filled with possibly 1 1/2. They're great on the go food as well!

    Came into work thinking it was going to be a normal morning... and then Kolache Factory showed up. Game over. I've had my fair share of kolaches, but these hit different. The jalapeño popper and ranchero are my go-tos--perfectly soft, flavorful, and dangerously easy to keep eating. Like, "I'll just have one" quickly turns into "how many did I actually eat?" Low-key, it's probably for the best there isn't a location near my house, because this could very easily become a daily habit. Shoutout to my work bestie for fueling the obsession--I'm not mad about it.

    Went here on a Sunday to grab a quick pick-up breakfast. We ordered online, and were able to pick up in about 15 minutes. I've never had anything like these before they are little (slightly sweet) buns filled with different breakfast sandwich fillings (e.g., sausage egg and bacon, chorizo, etc). My favorite was the chorizo!! We had to get lots so we could taste test them all. Only thing I would want is maybe a side sauce to dip in! Few tables inside, I think this place is more meant for pick up and take home

    Kolache factory is great. So happy there is one outside of Texas! Store is small and clean. There was a bit of a line when we got there at 8:30AM but the line moved quick. Lots of different selections. We ordered the Texas hot link, sausage and gravy, and the soon to be discontinued special country breakfast. Everything was so tasty and bready. Definitely will return. Prices reasonable.

    Bacon egg and cheese. Could use more cheese.

    I had lived in Texas for about a year but never got around to having a kolache so I was excited to see there was a Kolache Factory here. I picked up the Potato egg and cheese; bacon egg and cheese; and the pecan smoked sausage. My favourite would have to be the pecan smoked sausage which had a pleasant savory smoky flavor. The other breakfast ones were a bit bland. However the bread was fresh and soft. I would return to try the croissants.

    If you have not tried Kolache's, they are a must try. I would describe them as a ball of delight. My favorite are the more savory ones, but I know they also have sweet, pastry like flavors. The employees are always quick and helpful. My favorite flavor is the chorizo and egg, the potato, egg and cheese and the pizza one. However, they will all surprise you. There are a few high seat chairs inside if you want to have a quick bite. And there are two small tables on the outside too. The parking spaces get really busy but I always find parking in the shoping center.

    My workplace provided the egg kolaches for brunch once and they were so good that I decided to stop by again today to try another flavor. I got the chicken enchilada kolache and the caramel macchiato. They heat up your kolache upon request and the outside was so soft and pillowy while the inside bursted with flavor. Will definitely come back to try other flavors!

    Kolaches are a Czech pastry that has found its' way to OC. I heard there's more of these in Texas, which is where my boyfriend first discovered them. He was intrigued to see a Kolaches Factory in OC when he was visiting me. Since they are compact and convenient, they make a really good snack for the road. We decided to get some for our roadtrip to Santa Barbara. My boyfriend only asked for a few but I got a little carried away ordering. We got the following and I'll put notes next to the ones I tried. Flavor of the Month - San Antonio ($4.90) - Has eggs, potato, chorizo, and some other things. A lot of flavors. Ham & Cheese ($3.35) - We shared half half and the inside bits of ham were chopped up. Interesting. BBQ Beef ($3.95) - We shared this one and both not impressed. Really dry bbq. Sausage Cheese & Jalapeno ($3.75) 2 Bacon Egg & Cheese ($4.90/each) - One of my favorites, simple breakfast bite. Chorizo ($4.90) Sausage & Cheese ($3.75 value, complimentary with yelp check in) Cream Cheese ($2.45) - Reminds me of a danish but way more bready. Croissant Texas Apple ($6.95) - WARNING sweet AND SAVORY. This weird croissant has an apple pie filling meats BACON AND CHEDDAR. I couldn't bare a second bite. Blehhhhhh. They labelled the boxes in a mirrored point of way which is really counter intuitive. In general I feel like the kolaches had a bready exterior, very soft. I prefer the savory breakfast application. I would consider coming back in the future if I need food on the go, but I don't think I would crave it.

It's conveniently located in Old Town Tustin with street parking available, although there was some construction during my visit, so I had to park a bit farther away. It was pretty busy when we arrived that the line extended outside, but the staff kept things moving efficiently and were friendly throughout. The cafe itself is on the smaller side, with only a handful of tables indoors, so it's probably not the best spot if you're looking to camp out and work for a few hours. There are also a few tables outside for additional seating. The cafe is connected to a small market that sells specialty items and fun merchandise like tote bags, giving the space a unique charm. As for the drinks, I really enjoyed the iced mocha, it was rich and satisfying. The vanilla latte was good, but I was hoping for a little more vanilla flavor. Overall, I still think this cafe is worth checking out, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a try if you're in the area!

I could hold off no longer and had to visit this charming boutique with cascading blush and ivory. A breathtaking floral wall welcomes you inside and invites you to take a seat. As you enter, greetings from staff echo from the counter. Do you check out the shop or grab a drink and browse? Whatever you do, do not skip the banana cold foam on your drink if you love banana! The hospitality here is evident the moment you walk in. Staff were ready to take our order, answer questions and even checked to see if our drinks were to our liking. Think fashionable design meets European charm for the interior atmosphere, right down to the plates. Morning Lavender offers table seating as well as booths and can accommodate large parties for events. Now for the good stuff- let's talk an Iced Mocha with extra chocolate and an Iced Chai Tea Latte with Banana Cream Foam. The Mocha with extra chocolate was indulgent and velvety with the espresso seamlessly intertwined. A decadent treat to enjoy as the morning started to warm up into the afternoon. Just a suggestion for those who enjoy the richer side of coffee and espresso. A dash of a bit more cream would've added that refined richness. The star of the morning was definitely the Iced Chia Tea Latte with Banana Cream Foam. The description of cold cream hardly captures and embodies what this Banana Cold Foam really is. Think lusciously thick banana smoothie topping off your drink. Impossibly creamy and bursting with ripe banana. Crowning the drink sat a slice of banana bathed on one side in a caramelized sauce similar to crème brûlée. Crunchy peanuts generously scattered on top, making an irresistible contrast in texture. This drink was truly an exceptional culinary experience. I will be back again and again for the Banana Cold Foam.

Overall, we had an enjoyable afternoon, as the overall aesthetic is delightful and having the boutique connected adds such a fun element to the visit. We really enjoyed browsing the selection of clothes, candles, jewelry, and painting books. As for the tea and food, the warm scones and tea were lovely highlights, the smoked salmon sandwich was exceptionally yummy, and the rose macaron stood out with its fragrant flavor. However, there were a few areas where the experience fell short of expectations. While the smoked salmon was great, the chicken sandwich was difficult to chew due to too many nerves and the mini donuts felt a bit stale. We also noticed a few maintenance issues, including a visibly dirty/stained booth seat and a teacup given to one of our guests that was broken on the bottom. Service was another area that could use some improvement. For a party of six, the staff felt somewhat inattentive, leaving several people at our table waiting for long periods to get hot water refills. This unfortunately hindered the amount of tea we were able to enjoy during our visit. Morning Lavender has wonderful potential with its beautiful environment and delicious flavors, but with a bit more proactive service and attention to detail, the experience could be truly exceptional.

They also have a slideshow that plays with all the cats that are available for adoption. They have the cat's name and a brief description of their temperment. If you plan on adopting they recommend either already having a socialized cat or adopting in pairs, which makes sense to me. I plan on going back soon, I really enjoyed my visit and don't mind supporting cats in this way.

The decor has a cozy, early-2000s coffeehouse charm that feels completely unchanged by time.

As an espresso enthusiast, I ordered a flat white to test their roast. It was fantastic--exceptionally well-balanced, not overly dark or burnt, with great chocolatey and nutty notes. My wife got an iced latte, which she really enjoyed as well. Before leaving, I picked up a 12 oz bag of their Colombia Tolima Honey Processed beans to brew at home. It brewed up beautifully with notes of berry, caramel, chocolate, and butter, balanced by a gentle citrus acidity and a lovely creamy body. Knocking off half a star only for the slightly dated aesthetic, but the quality of the coffee and the community vibes more than make up for it. Highly recommend!
