I'm a little embarrassed that I didn't know what a kolach was before I came here, but I'm certainly a believer now. And to enlighten anyone who may be like me, it's an Czech/Slovak pastry, often filled with a dollop of fruit. An Americanized version has a pocket filled with savory meats or cheeses. Cafe Kolache offers both varieties. The air is thick with the scent of spices and bread each time I've visited this place, and an entire shelf is dedicated to sweet and savory kolache that entice customers at the register. The ham and swiss kolach has made for the perfect grab-and-go lunch for me on a few occasions, with sweet bread enveloping ham (real diced ham, not deli meat) and cheese. They will also heat it up for you if you like. It's kind of like the best homemade hot pocket ever. I've particularly enjoyed the day-old kolache that are marked half off, so I can still get my fill of delicious goodies at bargain prices. Can't really beat a $2 lunch with two mini kolache. Not to mention the coffee is the best in Beaver as well! (That's saying something considering a Starbucks is just a few blocks away.) The coffee is fresh and has a jolt without tasting burnt and over roasted like some chain competitors. If you find yourself in downtown Beaver, definitely make an effort to come to Cafe Kolache. read more

This used to be a great pit stop back when ever I was a youngster. (okay i'm still super young but it was 6-8 years ago) I can still remember the smell of the shop. aah, excuse me while i pause for the moment and reminisce. I adore their chai teas and their pastries are delicious. Growing up, every last one of my doctors offices were in Beaver. I'd always have my grandma stop in so that we could have a nice cup of chai tea and a pastry. I wasn't a coffee drinker at age 15 (thank goodness) so i cannot comment on the coffee. I guess I'll have to make a trip here just to write an update! :D read more

One of our favorite places to eat. Great coffee, teas, and other drinks. The Harpers have made this the feel good place to be in Beaver! read more

Kolache is a great place. Their food is great (as others have noted, the kolaches -- both sweet and savory -- are delightful), the staff really nice, and the atmosphere inviting. The owners are especially wonderful, and if they're around, they go out of their way to make customers feel welcome. Two downsides, at least for me: the shop closes fairly early, and they use Prestogeorge beans. I've made peace with the early evening closing time, but the Prestogeorge coffee still throws me for a loop. Most of the blends and single-origin brews taste over-roasted, and the flavored coffees often taste the same. Still a great place, and definitely worth visiting (frequently at that). read more

For a couple months, I've been coming here once a week to have some me time and good breakfast and it's the nicest place to sit and read and relax. The bruschetta sticks are my favorite treat and I'm obsessed with the spiced brown sugar latte featured in the fall! read more

Good breakfast place. The coffee is good, but it's 2015...spring for a larger, electronic coffee pot to store the coffee. Everytime I use the airpots, half are empty. The kolache are all very good. They have some unique ingredients and flavors. The cinnamon rolls are very good also. It's worth a try, a nice location in a quaint small town. It gets four stars because the drip coffee price is a joke and airpots make it look like a college cafeteria. You would figure with $4.00 large coffees and hiring no one over 24 they could afford the machines. read more

Cute place in town for breakfast or brunch . Very nice staff and very good food and desserts . Stumbled upon this place and can't get enough ! read more

Cafe Kolache is a nice place to go for a cup of tea and a Kolache. I love how they have different things made and different flavors. Lunch Kolaches with spinach and cheese are my favorite the savory type. Keep them coming. read more

Super cool place with great food and atmosphere. Everyone one there is super polite and willing to help you out.

Very good eats. I've never had a bad experience here with wait staff or quality of food. Always a great time. The owner is super sweet. She has great employees and delicious recipes. A must try. read more

The most rewarding experience is, by way of enticing generosity, is the free refills on your coffee as long as you remain there! This is another perk to form a morning or afternoon habit of making frequent visits to this remarkably cozy and elegant coffee house. If you are already familiar with this establishment and have not the effort of visitation, I implore you to do so now. It will be their pleasure, and it will be your gain.

Great food breakfast and lunch. Prices are reasonable nice place to sit and have breakfast with the family.

Stopped in on the weekend to support small business Saturday. We arrived at 1:30 pm and they were already out of their black bean soup and only had a few kolaches left. Cute interior, very cozy. However we did not find the service to be friendly and the artichoke/sundried tomato kolache was not memorable. read more

This is a composite of a number of visits to Café Kolache over several years. As others note, the teas, coffees, soups and salads -- always excellent. But my focus is on the "community" nature of the place. Intimate seating, a hangout place with wifi access, books and poetry on display, staff and management always friendly and engaged in the overall experience. Starbuck's (yes, I go to Starbuck's often...) just does not have this type of ambience. Located on the Main Street in Beaver at the eastern entry to the city. Side street and front parking -- never had a problem regardless of time of day for on-street parking. If you can corner the owner, ask about the Kolache tradition and the development of this gentile light dining experience. f8 and be there. read more

Best coffee house for miles (and Starbucks is down the street) Kolache made from a sweet dough that lends to sweet and savory. Coffees of any kind, teas as well. Service is polite, but I miss the bearded fellow who was standup comedic. Go here, all seasons! read more

Delicious treats and friendly service. Cute indoor and outdoor space too! Everything I've gotten from there has always been really good.

There is no reason to head to a coffee chain when you can go to Cafe Kolache and feel like family. The owners and staff are all so kind and friendly, you really feel at home when you walk in. The food is absolutely delicious. Whether you order savory breakfast Kolache, sweet offerings, or one of the amazing lunch Kolache, you will not be disappointed. Their coffee is strong and tasty and there are so many drink varieties. I am also a huge fan of their business catering as are all of my fellow employees and associates. They will tailor their offerings for your budget and your order is fresh and ready when you arrive. read more

I am from the town of West, Texas and consumed delicious kolaches all my life. I am working frequently in Pittsburgh, and a colleague brought these in for us. They were awesome!!! Great job - very impressed - so happy to find your company. Darla B. read more

really good spot to check out if you are in the area, quality meat pockets and good coffee!

Wonder flavors, just a bit pricey. I tried, the Philly Cheesteak, Chicken Jalapeno, Italian Sausage and Sweet Pepper. All were very fast and the sweet bread was perfectly done. I will go out of my way again to try more. read more

This is one of my favorite places in Beaver County! The food is great and always something different. The coffee is the best in the county for sure! The service is beyond plesant, most the time entertaining and some times even educational! I have taken almost everyone I know to this place and have never heard anyone say anything but wonderful things! You can sit outside and people watch or better yet after I enjoy my food I always take a walk around the beautiful little town. This is on my list of places that everyone should try at least once! read more

I love this place and wish it were open on Sundays! A kolache is like an empanada but with a sweeter dough. In the morning they offer sweet kolaches with flavors like cream cheese, cherry, apple, strawberry, apricot, etc. . . They also have breakfast kolaches like egg and sausage, egg and bacon, sausage and cheese, etc. . . They also make savory kolaches for lunch. I tend to oder the day old (50% off) kolaches like the spicy chicken fajita or buffalo chicken which is good hot or cold! The only thing that I will warn you about is that the employees are EXTREMELY animated and are over the top. If you are going in the morning and aren't a moring person, I suggest you just prepare yourself! My husband loves their coffee and prefers their bold vs. Starbucks! read more

Delicious kolaches. I've had cinnamon roll and cream cheese but my favorite thus far is the bruschetta stick. It's delicious. Stop on by for a fun and yummy treat. read more

The traditional kolaches are amazing. I love the regular cream cheese ones. I had an Italian sausage one today with peppers and mozzarella cheese and it was incredible! Best one I've tried so far. read more

Wonderful atmosphere! I love their chilli, spinach and feta Kolache, and the their Greek salad!

Eaten here twice...love it. Tasted 4 different kolaches and could not pick a favorite. Downside is I want to eat too much. Loved the atmosphere and coffee too. read more

Every time I come home to Beaver this is my "go to" place for breakfast. They have Kolache's that are cream cheese filled just like my grandmothers. I have also had an "old world charm experience" when being in this adorable town. So excited to go there today! read more

I can barely drive through Beaver without my kids saying " Can we stop at Cafe Kolache?" My kids love the ham and cheese and pepperoni, while I think the chicken jalapeno is best. All of the sweet ones are wonderful too. Plus, their coffee is delicious! read more

Great place! We stopped in there for a quick breakfast a couple of weeks ago. This was my first time in there and I'll be back! The soup was very warm and tasted like Grandma made it! Friendly and prompt service. read more

Got the ham and swiss kolache and a cinnamon twist and both were delicious. My gf got a spinach and feta and really liked hers as well. Will go back for sure. read more

Just a wonderful shop! If you've never gone, please go. The owners are incredibly welcoming, as are all of the staff I've ever encountered. The food is great, and recently they have made efforts to accommodate restrictive diets which is just fantastic, because if you're a vegan or celiac or are lactose intolerant in this area, your options are sadly extremely limited! We have special ordered their nut roll for holiday celebrations, and we have tried most things they offer, and everything is worth the stop! read more

I'm not a coffee drinker but I love all the kolache selections. I've attempted to try a new kolache every time I've gone. From egg sausage cheese to meatball and always a fruit filled dessert after, I never leave hungry. Their cinnamon rolls are very good as well and the multiple options of having pecans or raisins really adds just a little something extra. I've had a few Italian sodas here and they have tended to be hit or miss depending on how much of the syrups were used, but I won't hold that against them. Their dessert mini kolache I had for my engagement party were life changing. Turtle kolache... nuff said. Highly recommend checking this out and getting a kolache! read more

Good cafe, has that strong community feel to it. The food and coffee are ok, worth stopping in, one of the better coffee cafes in Beaver/ Beaver County. The staff is polite and engaging. I was impressed that they worked diligently and in unison to get out all the orders in a timely fashion as it was really busy when my young daughter and I visited. Score Food Quality 3 (Kolachis are a 4 - 4.5 depending on which one, it's some of the other items I didn't care for: muffins too bland and scones too hard but not aweful) Service 4 Atmosphere 5 Value 4 Recommend 4 read more

Best independent coffeehouse in Beaver County. Mouth-watering kolaches, amazing selection of loose leaf teas, variety of coffees for dine-in or beans to brew at home, soups, salads and super-convenient catering...must try! If you come on a Saturday morning, you'll definitely see our family! read more

I've been going to Cafe Kolache since it opened and have never been disappointed (minus the rising prices). I stopped in the other day to treat myself before a very long and hectic day of work. The flavored coffee of the day was pumpkin spice..go figure, it's fall..and it was really good! Also grabbed a pumpkin cream cheese kolache which was TO DIE FOR. I'm a lover of most things pumpkin, but this may be one of my favorites. I could have easily ate more than one. If you get the chance, stop in before fall is over and get one! read more
