    The assortment

    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!

    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.

Our server was very warm and helpful. For two of us we ordered one heavier dish and 3 on the lighter side and I actually left pretty stuffed. The menu is always evolving so I'd love to return, but for this visit we started with the bread and ham butter. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the ham butter imparted so much flavor. My favorite item that we ordered was the Galician Octopus. The thin slices were perfectly executed and the flavors underneath packed a punch. I would pass on the Gambas al Ajillo. While the shrimp were large, I found myself wishing that they had some char. The Summer Squash Salad was a perfect complement to the other dishes. I found the squash ribbons to be unique, the dressing to be light and fresh, and the inclusion of small bits of cheese to impart just the right amount of saltiness to the dish. Because we were celebrating my birthday, they gave us a complimentary slice of the basque cheesecake with a candle in it. Typically I'm not a big fan of this type of cheesecake, but theirs was wonderful and we ate the whole thing. I'm always appreciative when a restaurant does a little something extra for a special occasion. Extra props to our server because she noticed the gift that my friend brought for me and took it upon herself to inquire about the occasion and bring the dessert. It's those little touches that mean a lot.

    Finally got to try Fat of the Land and they didn't disappoint. Located in the heart of Santa Ana -…read moreit's an intimate bar/restaurant with a friendly staff. Parking can also be found behind and on the side of the restaurant. Things tried: - Bread + Ham Butter: I didn't know what to expect - it started off just ok and grew on me after a few bites. Of the items tried this was my least favorite. - Apple Pear Frisée Salad: Loved this salad! Super refreshing and perfectly dressed. The balance of lettuce, pears and apples with the ham.. it just hit the spot. This is something I'd get again. - Galician Octopus - Another winner of a dish! Perfectly prepared octopus and the sauce - it was a party in my mouth. A definite must try! - Braised Mushroom: I was on the fence about this one but my friend picked it. It was surprisingly good. You mix in the onsen egg and it just works. - Rack of Pork - this is another winner of a dish! I will say it tastes even better as a left over. The pork was perfectly seasoned and oh so yummy! - bosque cheesecake: nice and creamy cheesecake and a nice way to wrap up a meal. I'm not a drinker, but they had an assortment of wines and beers. My friend quite enjoyed the beer our waiter recommended. All in all a fun dining experience - one I'd definitely repeat. And if you visit and are in doubt on what to try - definitely ask your server - they make great recs here.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the nuts & I would've loved more of a coconut cream instead of the coconut meat as it just didn't have too much flavor, in my opinion. this was a great post-work meal & I will definitely be back to try more of the menu & cocktails!
