Love love love this place! I used to live in Texas and have had a craving for good kolaches that is so hard to feed, but this place is great! I had a sausage and cheese kolache along with a peanut butter-chocolate one. So tasty and fast. Each one cost around $5 which is pretty steep, but on par with New York prices I suppose Cute interior design Just a few seats inside and on the patio
Been trying to find a good kolache place in the city, and this one hits the spot! Reasonably priced with a lot of various kolaches, definitely come here if you're craving one (or never had one). Very fluffy and full of flavor, I would definitely come back. We even got the chai-cider seasonal drink, which was amazing!
There aren't a lot of kolache places in New York. Being from Texas, I feel like kolaches were such a staple for some reason. It was really nice to see a kolache shop with such extension options - especially the vegetarians ones. I got the mushroom and it was delicious! They also have seasonal kolaches as well so definitely come check this place throughout the years. They also have seasonal drinks as well and the latte I got was delicious.
I had wanted to visit this place for a long time. So many kolache options including a vegan biscuit with a few different vegan butter spreads (strawberry and chive). They also have a lot of seasonal flavored drinks that looked delicious. They have seating in front that is open air, indoors in the back, as well as a back patio.
What a neighborhood gem!! Excellent coffee and the kolache are just like my mother makes. They have fresh fruit filled as well as meat fillings for breakfast. If you're in the area plan to stop here. It is fantastic and so are the staff.
Cold rainy day and what could be more welcoming than a delicious coffee with oat milk at the charming Brooklyn Kolache. I also tried the cherry cheese pastry which reminded me of one I had visiting relatives in Slovakia. The pastry was chewy/bready, the cherries tart and the cheese creamy in all the best proportions The orange twist roll also didn't disappoint. Serves hot at your request this cutie packs an unexpected punch. Biting into it your face is bathed in a warm orange scented steam cloud due to the orange zest glaze that really doesn't look like it can pack that much sweet zestiness into each bite. Inside seating is limited to 3 counter seats and today a groovy hipster was giving a tarot reading to a young woman who was lamenting why can't she just date men AND women. I say any man or woman she brings here will be weak in the knees at the first bite of pastry. Outside is a small patio open to the street but defined by ironwork with a black and white floor making the space much more cozy than most sidewalk offerings. I can't wait to come back to try the spiced maple latte. Or the cardamom matcha. Or the lavender latte.
This has been a safe haven for me since I moved to the neighborhood awhile back this past year. Wonderful artisanal coffee (café artesanal) and vegan options if that is your personal dietary subscription. Lovely community [leave a book-take a book] library by their back-of-the-shop garden seating in the cafe. Thanks for being a sanctuary in the community
First time trying kolache! Stopped in the evening near close and it was a nice place to chat over a warm beverage and a snack! I tried the sausage and cheese and thought it was quite good. Reminded me a lot of Chinese bread with its yeast. The service here was really great, super nice man behind the counter, especially given that it was near closing time on a Friday! They are on too good to go as well if people are interested.
First off, petitioning for a Queens location! Brooklyn Kolache is in Brooklyn and now Manhattan so obviously next up is Queens right...right?? Fingers crossed! After moving to NYC from ATX, I have missed my kolache fix and BK surely filled that pastry sized hole in my heart. Whenever I am here or convince a friend who lives by to pickup an order for me, I stock up. My absolute favorite is the sausage jalapeño cheese kolache so I get 2-3 of those. I also try various other savory kolaches including their egg & cheese varities. They have vegetarian options as well. As for the sweet kolaches, I always get the blueberry as well as the lemon and try others like the cherry. I just spotted s'mores on their menu so now I need to try that one because I love s'mores. It's not often that I am able to try their coffee drinks but most recently I finally was able to try their ube latte which I ordered hot. I love anything ube and this latte hit the spot. I'd like to try it iced next time. So to sum up, come to Queens, Brooklyn Kolache!!!
Came here to work on the patio when the weather was nice and got everything I needed! Apple kolache was super soft, fluffy, sweet. Salted Caramel Latte was a great but the Flavor wasn't too noticeable. I may need to have just stirred a little more lol.
I've been in this neighborhood for 5 years, but accidentally went there for the first time last week. I had matcha latte and jalapeño, egg and cheese bread once and now I miss them every day. I'm looking forward to coming back again
I had never heard of kolaches before, but stumbled upon this place. I recommend coming early - came on the weekend around 11am and they were already sold out of half the menu! There wasn't a line at all when we came and we were able to sit with our dog at one of the outdoor tables in the front. The dough reminds me of the Chinese sweet buns - so doughy and the perfect amount of sweetness. My only tiny thing is that I wish the toppings / fillings for some of them were more evenly dispersed. But all in all, everything was great and I'll definitely come back. I wanted to try as much as possible so I ordered the below: -Cherry Sweet Cheese: yum. I wish the cheese was a bit more evenly dispersed, but this was great. -Blueberry Sweet Cheese: delicious. If I had to pick between the two fruits, this was my favorite. -Everything: yum. I just wish there was more cream cheese. It was just a tiny amount off to one side. -Sausage and Cheese: yum. This was my favorite savory one. I just wish there was more cheese. -Mushroom and Goat Cheese: very good, but I wish the toppings were inside because there's only a tiny amount of mushrooms on top. I probably wouldn't order again because of this. -Sweet Cheese: good, but with all the other delicious toppings to choose from I wouldn't order this again. -Sausage Jalapeño and Cheese: good! But
This is a real cozy place to eat something wholesome and enjoy the atmosphere. There's free wifi and you can sit in front of the entrance, inside the main area and the back. There's also a garden area out back as well! After 5 pm it's Bogo for the Kolaches. The staff is friendly and kind.

Small, cute coffee shop serving up their own brand coffee beans and kolaches, a Texan favorite brought by the czechs. It's a bread stuffed with sweet or savory fillings. We got the mushroom and the spinach kolaches this time and it was open faced rather than the usual stuffed kolache. Could use more filling as it was rather sparse. They have a very cute backyard, check it out. read more
The kolache here are really good, I'd never tried them before but I got the sausage jalapeño and cheese and chorizo egg and cheese kolache, the pastry is so pillowy and soft yet with a crisp on the outside, and the fillings were flavorful and substantial. A little kick but not overwhelming. So yummy and really unlike anything I've tried. I'll try a drink next time but it was the perfect breakfast bite. read more

1 star off for the service. the guy was rolling his eyes at us and looked angry. i assume he had a bad day, but it scared me : ( The Kolache we got was cherry, quite yummy & chewy, though a bit small (pictures are deceiving!) read more
COVID report: Limited outdoor seating (no heaters) and no indoor seating as of November 2021. Awesome coffee shop where the main draw is kolache (delicious puffy dough pastries). My boyfriend and I tried: + Spinach and feta kolache + Ham and cheese kolache + Texas beef sausage kolache + Ube latte The latte was awesome, and my favorite kolache was the Texas beef sausage one. Definitely will be back! read more
Amazing kolaches! I had the cheddar sausage jalapeño and it definitely hit the spot in the morning. My other party got the spinach and feta and a mushroom and goat cheese for the vegetarians and she said it's the "best". They have a really beautiful backyard in the back and I can see my summers being here with a matcha macadamia milk latte. They also have ube if you like that!!! read more
I came across this place while in the neighborhood and I'm so glad I did! I'd never had a kolache before but I'm definitely a fan. The outside was like a fluffy bread bun. It was fragrant and served warm. They have a variety of fillings, both sweet and savory. I tried the sausage and cheese one and the spinach and feta. I loved the spinach and feta! I'd highly recommend trying this one. The cheese in the sausage and cheese was molten and hit the spot. The fresh squeezed orange juice was very fresh and delicious! read more

I ordered the Strawberry Rhubarb Kolache and Vanilla Iced Latte with Oat Milk - both of which were delicious. The strawberry rhubarb combo is a favorite of mine because of the tart taste. There was a generous filling to the kolache, which also happened to be a first for me. The kolache itself was soft and delicate, but filling enough for the early morning treat I needed. Our servers were kind and personable and while I'm more introverted than the friend I went with, it was sweet to see them engage in easy chatter. The space was beautifully decorated and comfortable, with a good vibe from all the customer base as well. read more

I was delighted to find this smart and stylish store-front update to Brooklyn Kolache! There is more open space room for customers to wait for their orders without having to block the sidewalk. I can see it being a nice place to sit for a coffee in the open air "patio" during warmer months as well. Love love their interesting latte selections! The good morning latte (oat milk, brown sugar) was delicious! I will be back to try the rest of their special coffee drinks. read more

I love Brooklyn Kolache so much! The kolaches are always fresh and warm and I love seasonal flavors. My favorite flavor was the pimento cheese, but I never see it anymore! I wish they'd bring it back. 1000% recommend this place for breakfast, snack, or even a dessert! read more

Wow... was not expecting to have my mind blown by these Kolache's! So glad I made the trip over. Both of the k es I tried were sweet as I came for dessert, but would love to try the savory ones as well. Also, the place had a good flow of traffic for the coffee, so I can only assume it's fire as well! Be back soon for sure. read more

I've been to Brooklyn Kolache a few times for Too Good To Go orders (which I do highly recommend but I'll get into that later) but this was my first time coming here as a regular customer. A friend and I were hanging out and wanted to go somewhere so I suggested Brooklyn Kolache since it was close to campus and I had enjoyed the pastries that I had had from there prior. The customer service was lovely as always and the vibes were chill and quiet, soft music coming from what I think was a radio behind the counter. In the back of the cafe there is a lovely little seating area that wasn't crowded at all with dim lighting. The atmosphere was chill and a little sleepy but I imagine this would be a lovely place to come work or write for an hour or two. The pastries were good as expected but my friend and I both agreed that the coffee based drinks did not have the coffee taste or kick that we wanted. They were instead overpoweringly milk heavy. A pastry and 12oz drink ran me $10.62 which is not bad for a little outing. The employee working also warmed up our pastries for us which was pleasant. In addition to the back seating room there is also a bar counter across from the sales counter and a front and back patio that seem like an ideal place to spend a warm day (alas, it was way too chilly and windy yesterday.) Now- onto my Too Good To Go experiences here! I've gotten Too Good To Go bags from here 4 times now and each time has been lovely. The friendly employee behind the counter will ask you if you want sweet or savory pastries (I always ask for a mix of both) and will quickly bag them up for you and you will be on your way. You get about 8 baked goods in the bag and they keep well in the fridge for about 3 to 4 days afterwards. I always recommend popping them in your microwave for about 20 second when you're ready to eat as they are better warm! read more

Make sure you take note of the Specials Menu before you walk in, it's posted on the left wall of that semi outdoor foyer. It's very easy to miss, somehow there isn't another menu inside where you place your order. Had I seen it, would have gotten their seasonal ube latte instead of their matcha which was just average. Wow, mushroom goat cheese kolache hit the spot even after brunch nearby, we still made room! Tasted fresh and the bread reminds me of the butter rolls from Tai Pan bakery. Few other vegetarian and gluten free friendly options on their menu as well. Did not expect to enjoy the kolache as much as we did. Can't believe it took this long to check this place out. Cute merch ie totes on sale. read more

I am torn writing this review. The first time we ordered from this location, the Kolaches were fresh and warm. The second time, we ordered the Hattie B's Hot Chicken Kolache. I was super excited because that's my favorite restaurant in Tennessee! The Kolaches came super cold and we had to reheat them. Inside, I had expected and quite honestly yearned for our fried chicken goodness from Hattie B's and when we cut them open, we were saddened to find Chicken sausage (sans Fried Chicken) with only a very light dressing of that amazing Hattie B's spice. I probably wouldn't have spent the $15 on two of these. The ube latte was super super sweet. After we added oat milk, it helped immensely. read more

If you're from Texas, you know what a kolache is, and if you're from Texas but not living there currently, you miss them terribly! That would be me. Every time my family comes to visit me in CT, they know they have to bring at least two dozen along with them. They're wonderful and it's horrible to not be able to go to the local donut shop to grab a few on a Saturday morning. What is a kolache you ask? A quick google search reveals "It's a hearty breakfast pastry found at most donut shops around the great state of Texas. They are made with a light, fluffy yeast dough that surrounds a sausage. Typically cheese and jalapeno are included. These pastries came to Texas by way of Czech immigrants." Historically they contained various fruit fillings, but Texans added savory sausage, cheese and jalapeños and in my opinion, those are the best. But they are, alas, unavailable in Connecticut and New York. Until Brooklyn Kolache came along! I always jokingly say that if you can't find it in New York, you don't need it. So my family called me out on that one day and I had to look to see if New York had kolaches anywhere. Imagine my delight when I discovered them available in Brooklyn! This great little place has become a necessary stop after almost every trip to LGA or JFK. It's far for us, but worth the drive! The owner is Texan and her kolaches are wonderful. They are a bit pricey at $4.50 each, but when you're homesick, it's nice to know you can get them at all. If you're ever in Brooklyn, go try a Texan/Czech kolache. You'll be hooked too.... read more
I've had my share of kolaches all over the country and grew up in an area in the midwest where they're common. They're good here, and I don't mind at all the twist they're doing. So while they're pretty tasty, there are things here that were a bit of a turnoff. I arrived at opening and ordered a feta & spinach kolache and a black coffee and an espresso to start, both in paper containers with lids. All I had to do was touch the coffee container to know something was grossly wrong. How can you be holding a paper cup, pour a black coffee and not notice it isn't even warm? I went outside, sat and opened it and it was totally room temperature joe. Whut??? I went back inside and asked and got kind of a chuckle and "oops," and it was replaced. To be fair, the espresso was fine. The black coffee, the hot version, was good, not great. And outside... yes, Brooklyn is a dirty city and trash gets on sidewalks, but this was a festival of broken and unbroken glass bottles, a container of anti-freeze and other assorted trash and more 3 feet from the outdoor dining space. Several people walking by stopped and actually commented like, "wow, what's going on here?" I responded, "guess there was a party we all missed." Could have been an oversight on the business owner's part I suppose, but that evening and even the next morning, still there. If you own a restaurant or bar, it's a good idea to hose off the trash and vomit before you open. Interesting food, interesting and unique offering for Brooklyn, but I won't be back. read more
