Kolache Shoppe The Original - Houston

This restaurant is so fresh and clean inside, with the friendliest staff around. I have been coming here for as long as I can remember, just like my mother did. It feels like eating in a kitchen you grew up in. The food is top quality and made fresh daily, often straight from the oven as you wait. Don't forget to try their delicious coffee and tea. Overall, it's the best spot for a quick and tasty breakfast in the area!

Without a doubt, this is the top spot in Houston for kolaches, delicious pastries, and coffee. The prices are reasonable and everything is freshly baked. It's worth the trip even if you don't live nearby.

I have tried kolaches from various places in Texas, and this bakery on Telephone Rd is definitely one of the best. The sausage cheese kolache I had was the best I've ever had in Houston. They offer a variety of flavors including Ham Bacon Cheese, Roast Beef Bacon Cheese, Pastrami Bacon Cheese, Fajita Chicken, and Fajita Beef. I also tried their cinnamon roll and it was absolutely delicious and large in size. It's no surprise that this bakery was voted one of Houston's top 12 bakeries. It opens at 6am and parking is limited due to its popularity. If you haven't been here yet, you must go - you won't regret it.

I only write about H-Town food that wows my palate. This is a surprise post because I didn’t expect these sausage kolaches from the Original Kolache Shop to delight me even though I read the reviews before tasting them. I’m very cautious when it comes to big bread on kolaches or pastries. But this combo is a serious contender for the best in Houston! If you’ve traveled in Texas you know Gonzalez, San Antonio and our hill country areas have some of the best sausage, period. Heck we have decent sausage in Houston! Btw I was surprised to see roast beef and pastrami kolaches and they were flying out the case! I wanted a fruit kolache but they were long gone and I dropped in early! This little shop was voted by Yelp as one Houston’s top 12 bakeries, not a surprise because the pastries look so good I’m just not into sweets that don’t involve chocolate but it was hard to hold back! This little mighty shop is located off Telephone Road and parking is limited. It’s worth a visit especially if you’re a kolache connoiseur!

Not my type of kolaches — seem more focused on filling than bread — but very homey and local. Plus, they’ve been serving the community for a long time! Waited about 15 minutes from the back of the line. One long table outside (sits ~10).
