Everything about the kolache cafe is amazing. First of all, Bebe and Jose (the owners) are incredible humans and they have done such a good job hiring because we always get fantastic service. AND THEN THE FOOD. I love all the sweets (any fruit + cheesecake flavor ) However, my favorites are the savory. The Southwest is the best breakfast bite you can get, and the spinach and feta and sausage and gravy and sausage and cheese are also to die for. I also highly recommend the bbq pulled pork and the brisket and mash - great with jalapeno or without. My mom can't stop talking about them, which is exactly why I love introducing people to Kolache cafe. The bread is so tender and they are PACKED FULL of stirring. Oh, and you can't go wrong with the pizza either. Thank you Kolache cafe! read more

Love the food. Especially love their pastries. They are always willing to go above and beyond to assist. read more

The kolaches are so good but at times have not been warmed up thoroughly. If you're headed out this might be a turn off but if we're going home we throw them in the microwave for a few seconds and they still warm up nicely. Would recommend the sweet and pulled pork kolaches! read more

Started our road trip here 6:00 am. The staff was awesome! Food was good and blueberry cheesecake kolache was delicious! Wish more places had friendly and courteous folks behind the counter. Coffee made just the way I wanted. Thank you! read more

First timer, clean place great food. I would recommend it to anyone. The empanadas style soft bread is so good.

Im obsessed. I could eat at this place every week. Great idea to grab a to go order for clients as well.

Full disclaimer - I've never had a kolache, so I don't know what makes one good or bad....but I do know I just didn't love what I ordered from here. I don't live nearby, but I happened to be in the area and decided to try. I ordered 5 different flavors: -potato, egg & cheese: was super bland -chocolate bavarian: wasn't very chocolatey and had a weird aftertaste -sausage and gravy: this one was actually very good. I would get this again -key lime: had a good flavor, but there wasn't enough of the filling. -pumpkin: again, very bland I hate wasting food, but the only one my husband and I actually finished was the sausage and gravy. I also just didn't enjoy the pastry dough itself...it was bland and chewy. The employees were wonderful, helpful, and had all-around great customer service. I just didn't love the product and probably would not return. read more

The most tasteless thing I have ever had! No flavor what so ever! It's literally a tasteless piece of dough with a tasteless mush in the middle. Nothing special about this place. Was very disappointed. read more

Stopped by for lunch. My husband loved the hotdog. Next time we order a half dozen, my husband wants three hotdogs. The ham and cheese was good. We have brisket and chicken left over for dinner along with lemon and apple. The egg and pulled pork were not to our taste. We will be back. The service was the best, extremely nice and efficient. read more

Heads up - even though their website, Yelp, and the sign on their front door says they close at 7, they actually close at 6. What's more, their website will accept your order *and your credit card payment* for a pick-up time after 6pm, even though you can't pick it up. I'm literally writing this standing outside their front door. The kitchen manager is still on-site (I have her on the phone), but she claims only the general manager has the register codes to give a refund, and he's not answering his phone. They won't even open the door to let me resolve this inside...I'm standing outside in 113-degrees while they figure out how to run a restaurant. I wish I could tell you my rating is about their food, but I'm not even able to try it. I'm just trying to get my freaking money back. What a nightmare. read more

***updated review*** So disappointing... I once loved this place.. but it seems as though things have taken a turn for the worse since Tiffany left. Customer service is very spotty now and they always seem understaffed. The owner always seems like his head is about to explode from being so overwhelmed and consumed by stress and frustration... which I noticed he then takes out on the employees. No wonder they aren't giving their best. If I was treated like that by my boss, I probably wouldn't either. Get your sh*t together Kolache Café!! read more

A bao by any other name would taste just as sweet, and that is what we would call this Czech American pastry, a bao. Between the two kinds, of the savory, I can recommend from among the numerous breakfast options the smoked sausage variants, with a satisfying chunk of smoked sausage, and the sausage and gravy particularly, with its big hit of black pepper. And then there's the numerous sweet ones, with plenty of filling, unlike many other kolache bakers. Of these all of them are very good, but I'm partial to fruit fillings anyway. read more

The sausage and cheese kolache's we're just like what we used to eat in Texas. So delicious and fresh!

This place is great the service is great and their food is good I enjoy the atmosphere there

Staff was nice and all and it was fast and convenient. I just didn't cate for it. We like savory foods so we ordered a few of the savory ones (sausage and egg, chorizo and egg, and sausage and gravy). It was the sweetness of the dough that we didn't care for with the savory stuffing. Maybe we went in not knowledgeable about Kolache and the sweet dough is standard. But it wasn't for us. read more

Worst waste of space to sell only 1 item that can be bagged so why the big empty dining area? Why no salads , soups or sides. These pastries are gross hockey pucks in different flavors but only other side is a beverage. Schlotsky's was super better when they occupied this building. Don't waste your money as Kneaders or AJ's has premium pastries savory or sweet! Get this useless monstrosity of a useless business to a place more than 1 could enjoy! read more

I had 6 breakfast/savory Kolache's. The sausage with the jalepeno was amazing and the others were great too. Then I added 6 dessert ones. Lemme tell ya- get the caramel Apple! You won't be disappointed. The cheescake ones were great as well. read more

Ok , so if you are from the Texas area ( or not ) they now have a Kolace café out here ! Yay !!! So you say what is a Kolache? Well ..... it's a sweet bread with different things stuffed inside like, today we had pepperoni and cheese, pulled pork with pickle, smoked sausage and cheese , smoked sausage and jalapeño, Italian sausage and gravy. There are so many more of breakfast and lunch. If you are from Texas you are probably familiar and if you're not try it !! You'll like them. we found this Monday and this is our second time out this week and we live 45 miles away. read more

Good food but so annoying to be asked for a tip at the drive thru. I won't be back.

Love the kolaches here and the wide variety of them! Thanks for bringing this Texas treat to us Arizonians to enjoy!

Delicious kolaches - from Texas and this spot definitely hit the spot! Many choices for sweet and savory.

Delicious offerings. So delicious that we returned 2 days later to try more selections. I have tried 6 different savory Lunch/Dinner items and 7 dessert altogether. We plan to be regular opting to dine in Asa well as take a dozen and more home. Loved the shredded pork w/pickle, the smoked sausage w/cheese, meatball, still have 3vnew ones in fridge to heat for tomorrow. All the desserts heat and eat days later as do the filled savory options. We're we tailgaters, these would be perfect. My son is a Sherriff and they are his favorite new lunch on the go choice! read more

Still learning how to do review and check in on this site. I commented about this place when I checked in but the comments weren't showing up on its review so I am repeating myself here. Loved my experience here, my first time here. Nice, space, and clean dining room, a great place to relax and hang out and to enjoy some simple and delicious baked buns with all different kinds of fillings. Free refills on coffee while dining here. Very friendly staff. I would come back. read more

I drove through a few months ago, when this place is officially open for business and my food was ice cold in the center. I had to look up online if this was a place that sold food prepared to cook at home. It is not. I thought I'd give it another try, I ordered two kolache and mentioned to the woman my experience prior. My kolache were hot. They also had the rubbery texture of egg that had been heated and reheated. The white bread surrounding the filling is more flavorful than what's inside. It's super disappointing. Fast and friendly service though. read more

Excellent!!! Such a simple concept but the bread makes it awesome! Everything I've tried so far was so good. The prices are a little high for the size but it's still worth it. read more

Staff was super friendly, owner was nice and hands on helping out in the restaurant cleaning in the front while the rest of the staff was attending to customers. Hadn't had kolaches in nearly 2 decades and was very leery but found out that he lived in Texas for a while so that made me feel better. I got the smoked sausage kolache, it's one I would get every weekend back home and it brought me back to that time! We went back after our nail appt and ended up getting another 18 and so far the ones we've had have all been really good. Can't believe I waited this long to try this place! Will most definitely have to go back and if you haven't tried, yall most certainly should! read more

The kolaches are scrumptious. The attendant was very helpful. They have sweet dessert kolaches and sausage, cheese and ham varieties.

I've only had kolaches in Texas, and never any sweet ones, just the savory ones. This time, we got 3 savory and 3 sweet. Pizza, spinach and feta, and potato, eggs, and cheese. The three sweet ones were peach cheesecake, apple, and mango. We arrived before closing time, but they still had a good variety to choose from. Will return when in the area! read more

Wow!! Seriously one of my new favorite carb-o-licious finds!! I am totally obsessed!! Kolache are a brioche style bun that encompasses some type of filling either sweet or savory. They have a morning breakfast style and an afternoon evening style......sooo many options to list would take forever but I am recommending try any and all they will not disappoint! We were there for breakfast today and tried the southwestern and apricot cheesecake and the sausage and gravy with Bavarian creme and spiced apples. Whoa....life changed! Who knew this is a big thing in Texas.....glad they brought it into Arizona. This will be a "thing" here too!! read more

I was pretty excited to get some Texas style kolaches for the first time since leaving Texas almost two years ago. Social distancing measures were in effect and staff were all wearing masks and gloves. Speaking of the staff, they were friendly. The food however was okay. I had a smoked sausage egg & cheese kolache that was basically egg. I couldn't taste the cheese or bacon. I added a picture to show the lack of two of the three ingredients. The dough was not bad. I also got a smoked sausage, cheese and jalapeño kolache and that was solid. The sausage reminds me of a sausage you'd find in a Shipley's donut Kolache. Not bad but I prefer a sausage that has more spices in it. I could taste and see cheese and the jalapeños in that one. My child got a cinnamon roll and that was good! I'd be willing to go back and try other things on the menu but to be honest I am disappointed. I didn't try any of the fruit ones but they did look good. read more

I had never had a kolache before so I didn't know what to expect but wow these were AMAZING!!! The Kolache cafe is going to be my go to every Monday!!! read more

The Kolache Cafe - 3 Savory, 3 Sweet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This place is a little gem in the neighborhood. It's close enough I can walk, so I probably stop in at least once a month. Personally I don't care for breakfast or the sweet kolaches, but I've tried nearly all of the savory and you can't go wrong. My favorite is definitely the pizza kolache. The brisket mashed potato with jalapeno is my other go to. The texture of the roll with the cheesy potatoes is unmatched! read more

I like to stop by and pick up a box of mixed kolaches to bring as gifts to my friends & clients. Everyone loves them and they always make people happy. Really great kolaches and please support this locally owned business! read more

Service is great. Love everything I've tried here. Sausage gravy and bacon egg cheese are my favorite.

I'm from Texas and often crave kolaches! These are incredibly delicious! My favorites were the smoked sausage and cheese and the cheese cake ones. We also got the chorizo and egg and sausage and gravy. You really can't go wrong with any of them! They were served warm and have an amazing variety for all different preferences. I'm so glad I found this place! The service was great, super nice and even gave stellar recommendations. read more

These are wonderful! Filled with Strawberry or Blueberries. They then brought out a sausage and gravy one and that one was amazing. The egg and cheese one was good as well. Went to take a picture and my kids had already devoured the box. I hope this business does well, it's a rough time and if you have a moment give it a try. They serve coffee and juices. read more
