Review from Lucia W.
San Diego, CA7/6/2012I'm from California, and it was my first time hearing- this foreign word "KOLACHE" when my Texan friend
- recommended a visit to Kolache Factory sometime.
- I was immediately lured by the exoticness of the word,
- and since I'm always up for a good adventure, another
- friend and I set off on a walk to Kolache Factory,
- or what later became known as FREAKIN BLISS.
What the hell am I talking about? Oh, well, y'know, - the bliss of sinking my teeth into the soft, chewy
- bread, and savoring the tang of the peaches of the
- Fruit kolache, the sweet pecans of the Sticky Bun,
- and the breathtaking warmth of the cheese and
- peppered chicken in Italian Chicken. AND to top it all off,
- everything was half-priced because we went in 30 minutes before closing time!
(Tip of the day: Go to Kolache Factory between - 1:30pm and 2:00pm to snag some good deals
- and some good noms. Trust me.)
Since it was my first time there, it wouldn't be - wrong to say that my excitement of this being a
- first muddled my judgment of the food, but I
- know F'SHO I'll be returning again sometime soon.
- My current newbie status doesn't qualify me to
- make any reliable recommendations yet, but both
- my friend and I fell in love with the Italian Chicken (AND on the Kolache Factory website, it's listed under
- "Healthy Dining Choices" too! Cha-chinggg).
- I personally adored the simplicity of the Fruit
- kolache as well, and they also have a variety of different fruit flavors too. I got peach this time, and it was finger-lickin'
- good, but I'll set out to try the other ones too.
- The Sticky Bun was unfortunately a bit too sugary
- for my taste, as I had some sugar crystals running
- around in my mouth, but my love for pecans overrode that.
tl;dr: I'LL BE BACK MY LOVELIES! Review from Janelle B.
Houston, TX3/21/2008 1 photoWhat could be better than a Kolache?- How about an entire Kolache Factory?
There's not much you need to know about the - Kolache Factory. Kolaches are amazing, and the
- Kolache Factory does them right. It's that simple.
The only reason you'd need me to tell you more, is - if you've never had a kolache before. If that's the
- case, run don't walk to the Kolache Factory,
- and order a dozen to make up for lost time!
Review from Susan S.
Houston, TX11/8/2010Kolache Factory kolaches are different than the kolaches you get at Shipley's because the meat is diced.- So, it's not going to be like a pig in a blanket -
- it's going to be like a cream puff but instead of cream
- you'll have diced sausage or diced ham.
I think this can be off putting if you're not used to it. Review from Heidi L.
Los Angeles, CA8/12/2009Alright...someone tell me what I'm missing.- What is the big deal about kolaches? I live in LA,
- but I worked in Houston for over a year so of course, my coworkers brought kolaches into work. When I first tried it
- , I remember thinking, who eats this for breakfast? (I had a sausage one) In my opinion, they are simply a fancy pig in a blanket...SURPRISE! or if that's not the correct
- comparison, here's another one. It's like a cha siu bao,
- but with breakfast items inside...SURPRISE again!
Oh, I have NOTHING against kolaches, I actually think - they are quite tasty. I'm just so confused as to why
- everyone likes them in Houston.
- If someone can explain it to me, I will buy them a kolache.
Review from Jeff G.
Washington, DC7/4/2007Kolaches fall into that line of food items that are easy- to eat on the go (empanadas, turnovers, etc),
- but for some reason have a special place in my heart.
If you want to impress your coworkers, bring it kolaches - during the week instead of tired old donuts.
- The hot sausage or egg, bacon, and cheese are my personal favorites. However, don't forget to try traditional specialties
- like poppyseed or apple because they're also wonderful.
The best thing about these kolaches is that they - reheat well in the microwave, so you can have
- one for breakfast everyday of the week ;)
Review from Jill S.
New Orleans, LA11/27/2010Let's be honest, kolaches may not be exceptional- as an end product... the bread is kinda rubbery and
- flavorless, the fillings are mediocre at best...
- but for novelty and convenience, they get FIVE stars!
I'm not going to pretend there's anything worth - recommending here. But when you need a cheap
- self-contained breakfast whose efficiency will
- give you goosebumps, look no further than the
- Kolache Factory.
Review from Samrat B.
- While I prefer Shipley's kolaches to Kolache Factory,
- they do have more varieties, obviously.
- Then again, who doesn't love dough nut holes?
Review from Eric S.
Houston, TX11/1/2009To start off, the sheer number of different types of kolaches- was more than overwhelming for a poor soul such as myself
- nursing a mild but not debilitating hangover on a Sunday
- morning. As such, I decided to hedge my bet and get a
- couple of the classics (cheese, jalapeno, sausage) and o
- ne of the more adventurous options (chicken enchilada).
As far as the classics, I enjoy jalapenos, and these - jalapenos were not overly spicy, but there were entirely
- far too many of them for me. The chicken enchilada
- was actually exactly as advertised and tasted exactly
- like an enchilada, only something I decided I wasn't
- entirely ready for that early in the morning.
Overall, I did enjoy the breading, and my lukewarm - reception of the particular fillings I chose might change
- entirely with a second visit with better selections (at
- least I have the options available I guess).
