I am always excited to see they have Kro-nuts available. They are a best seller and sometimes sell out. I also got ham and egg kolaches, an old fashioned donut and blueberry cake. The kro-nuts were very good as usual. The ham kolache was not my favorite. I won't get that one again. They are always nice and I wish I could sit a minute, their little cafe is so cute. read more

Really good! This place was a good break from the typical chain restaurants that you can get kolaches and donuts. They have good variety and everything seemed very fresh. Staff was also very welcoming read more

Don't bother. I really wanted to love this place, but we didn't. I thought the beef kielbasa wasn't bad, but the chicken and feta and spinach version was virtually empty of the ingredients and any chicken in there was very dry and so I actually had to throw it away. Mr. Picky loves cinnamon rolls but these had virtually NO cinnamon flavor. What's that about? We thought the "cinnamon" roll might rate as the worst we've ever had. Somebody had mentioned a nice little seating area and that was a total joke as it was dirty and the seat padding had worn out which left one sitting on some kind of wooden frame or something. They need to fix this place up. The good news was that Mr. Picky thought the bathroom was clean. There is a constant flow of traffic in and out, and maybe we just ordered the wrong things, but I'm not sure why people are coming here and rating it so high. Overall, not worth another visit. Shame as I'd been looking forward to trying the place. read more

More than a donut shop the kolaches are spot on service as always above board highly recommend

They DO NOT have gluten free Kolaches. I drove 30 minutes out of my way to purchase gluten free Kolaches for my grandson and was told upon arrival that they don't sell them. They need to remove this statement from their store description. read more

One word, well one item... Spicy Boudin Kolache. I have yet to try the doughnuts, but I was told by a coworker that they have these Boudain Kolaches and these were amazing. So if you are ever near this place and are reading this review, do yourself a favor and get yourself a spicy boudin kolache. read more

Best treat to give myself... No joke a grits, cheese, and egg kolaches mira you make it it will come

I have tried a lot of kolaches throughout the city and I can honestly say this is one of the best. The bread was soft with a little crust that gave a nice crunch. The croissant sandwhich and donut hole where perfect. The only down side was that my blueberry cake donut seemed to be cooked a bit to long. All in all I will order from them again. read more

Amazing, friendly customer service! I am always greeted not by just one employee but, every employee, when I walk into the store. Prices are completely affordable for the amount of food you receive. The Kolaches are huge and absolutely delicious! The dough used for the Kolaches is awesome, not too dry and not too sweet! I hadn't been to this location since their soft opening weekend a few years back, but I will definitely be stopping a lot more often! Make sure to try their red velvet donut holes! Best kolache place in Houston, hands down! read more

Karma Kolache & Dessert - Red Velvet Donut Holes & Mac N Cheese Kolaches! - Donuts Near Me - Houston, Texas

In the mood for something simultaneously sweet and savory? What about a great breakfast dish that doesn't require any utensils (maybe just a napkin to hold it with if you desire)? Got your attention yet? Karma Kolache is a great place to pick up a yummy treat... or two. The staff member was quite nice, friendly and polite. After taking a long look at all of the offerings (and noticing that weren't many plant-based options) , I selected cheese-egg and grits and eggs, cheese and potatoes kolaches. Unfortunately, I was told that the former was not available, but the latter was. So, I grabbed that, a strawberry and cream cheese pastry (looked similar to a turnover), and a vanilla iced coffee. My total came to just under $12 (including 15% tip). While I waited for my items to be warmed, I had the opportunity to check out the cute seating area, coffee cart, and eyecatching artwork. It looks like a great place to have a small, intimate book club meeting.. or first date.. I was very excited to try the kolache, but confused and somewhat disappointed to have received a potato, egg, and cheese instead of a cheese-egg and grits kolache. Don't get me wrong, it was still delightful, but my taste buds were excited to try grits within a kolache. I must also note that I would've preferred a little bit more filling as the savory notes were being overtaken by the sweet taste of the bread. I had a great experience overall and will likely return soon. read more

I probably live about 10 donut/kolache shops away from here but I drive the extra few miles and pass up those other shops to get what I really want. That's how much I enjoy their offerings. I always get the same thing. Chicken feta kolaches and red velvet donut holes. This kolache I swear has an entire chicken breast in it! I recently discovered the apple fritter that's unlike any other. It seems they may soak it in a maple syrup to give it that extra kick because it's pretty tasty. Don't forget to sign up for their rewards program. I recently received half off my order and free donut holes! read more

AMAZING SERVICE! GREAT DRINKS! AND LIFE CHANGING KOLACHES!!!!!! This sweet shop is very generous with adding in the extras. You'll get free donuts, donut holes, and other things when purchasing with them. You can tell it's a great team making all the food and drinks! read more

I'm leaving a 3 star review only because I'm forced to leave a tip. I hate sneaky tactics. it's quite annoying. The prices have already increased, and it feels like they're nickel and diming me. It's a shame, because the food here is great. I just don't feel like I should have to leave a tip on top of the increased prices. read more

Stopped by to try a new Kolache spot and 4.5 stars is incredibly overrated. Now the service was very nice. Friendly. Patient. All the things you want from the customer service side. The food however... it's just not good. Sadly. They have a lot of options so MAYBE I tried the wrong things but when bacon egg and cheese is barely edible you know something is amiss. Tried a couple options. BEC as listed above as well as sausage taco and a couple cronuts. The cronuts were a little odd because they were glazed. Very tough dough and heavy handed on the vanilla. All in all. Not for me. But needs a second chance in the future. read more

This place is AMAZING! I've been wanting to try this place for a very long time, and I'm so glad I did. I don't think I will ever go to another kolache place again. The kolaches are the BEST I've ever had! I had the pulled pork, jalapeno popper, and baked scalloped potato kolaches. The bread was fresh and super soft! Love it. The pulled pork was perfect. I can't wait to go back to try everything else. read more

We walked in here at 6:30am and were pleasantly greeted by the owner. The kolaches are fresh and delicious. Now me being a true New Yorker I could not drink the coffee, they didn't even have half and half.. They had those creamer cups...gross. Let's not focus on that, we are in Texas, down here only Dunkin and Black Rifle coffee is decent. But the selection of kolaches was great. My wife and I do not eat pork bit we were still able to pick out a bunch of suitable choices. The donuts were very good as well. We are here for another 4 days and we will definitely be stopping by to grab breakfast again. read more

This is our go to birthday donut spot and they never disappoint! And the service is always excellent.

This is a quaint little place! Love the set up, atmosphere, vibe, selection, customer service and prices! Let's get to the food! My goal was to get me a boudain Kolache. Love the fact that they had spicy and mild. I got spicy. Absolutely wonderful! Spicy, flavorful, completely stuffed inside a buttery flaky croissant like pouch. I'll definitely be back! read more

Y'all. This place is so delicious! I am so glad they opened this location. It helps to justify my breakfast choices when the drive is 10 minutes to this location versus the 20 minutes to the original location. I'm in love with their creative kolache flavors and while all of the ones I've tried have been delicious, my favorite will forever be the spicy boudin. My daughter is obsessed with their mac and cheese kolache and I always try to get a more meaty filled kolache like the Jimmy Dean or pulled pork kolache to obviously make the otherwise carby meal well-balanced and protein filled. They don't skimp on their fillings for sure, so one kolache is definitely satisfying. However, I'm pretty sure you'll want to stock up and try all the yummy flavors. The first time we visited this location, we tried a Karma Kake filled with rocky road and banana pudding ice cream. You guys! It was amazing! You'd think that a donut packed with ice cream and toppings would be way over the top, but somehow it worked. It wasn't cloyingly sweet and like their kolaches, they had the perfect dough to filling ratio. Their service has ALWAYS been impeccable at either location and you know the one thing that can ruin any meal is bad service. The staff is always so friendly, kind, and make you feel like you're family. One way they have stood apart is by offering a reward system for coming. I love the random free donut or BOGO texts I get. They are very generous and makes it even easier to stop by. The last point I'll make (if you aren't already heading there) is that their donuts are SO light, flaky, and rich. KOLACHE PLACES AREN'T SUPPOSED TO HAVE GOOD DONUTS! But they are so, so good! Run, don't walk, to Karma Kolache. You won't regret it! read more

Great quality bread compared to the factory. They're super polite and pleased to serve you. And the design inside is very zen.

Karma is one of the best kolache places ever, hands down! They have a huge variety of kolaches. From your normal sausage cheese kolache to a Philadelphia cheesesteak kolache. They also have a good selection of donuts. From glazed, to flavored, to filled, to kronuts. The prices are really hard to beat too because it's so cheap! This is what we got: Jumbo Jalepeno Sausage Cheese Kolache - 5/5 The kolache was good and not too doughy. I liked that it was kind of crispy on the outside but super soft on the inside. This is one of the best kolache doughs ever. Kronut - 4/5 What is a kronut? A croissant and a donut together! With the texture of a croissant and the taste and glaze of a donut. I wished that it was a little bit more crispy and flaky as a croissant. Chocolate Donut - 5/5 It's kinda hard to mess up a chocolate donut. So, this was a good simple donut. Soft inside and out! Red Velvet Donut Holes - 3/5 This was okay. I really had high expectations for these because I've heard such great things about it. Last time I was here, I asked for them and they said that they were already sold out (and it was around 8am). They were kind of dry and I could barely taste the red velvet. I would recommend having like a cream cheese filling on the inside! Overall, this is a great family owned kolache shop. They have a great variety of kolaches and donuts, so it's difficult to find something that doesn't suit your taste buds. Try out this place! read more

The best kolaches I've ever had! I love the sausage and gravy one, but they are really all good and I can eat them for breakfast or lunch. I usually make it by lunch time. They are usually out of some of them by that time, but I understand why. I wish there was one a little closer to me. I'll keep going back though! read more

I drive from hockley to come here! Love this place! All of their kolaches are amazing, especially the stuffed jalapeño Kolache! Everything I've gotten has always been fresh and delicious! Oh and the coffee, don't forget to try it, so good. The staff is very pleasant and always interactive the kiddos. Thank you for your professionalism, great customer service and delicious food! read more

Perfect doughnuts. Fast and friendly. Good variety. Lots of Kolaches. I will be coming back. read more

It's alright. I don't quite understand what all the hype is about with either Karma or Koala. I sampled 5 kolaches, a dozen donut holes, and the cronuts. The kolaches we're average at best. I'd choose Kolache Factory any day. They could use a little more flavor inside all of them and the bread gets a little soggy. Donut holes taste like typical donut holes from any little donut shop or grocery store. Shipleys is way better. But the cronuts? They were amazing! So good! And the coffee was also really, really good. I feel the exact same about Koala Kolache (I gave it 4 tries before deciding it wasnt my thing) because they taste almost identical to each other. So if I go back to either it will just be for a cup of coffee and a cronut or three. read more

Sometimes you get really lucky and stumble into an establishment full of splendor and deliciousness. You walk away feeling full and satisfied. You write a review, give it 4 stars, and recommend it to your friends. You say it's cute or well-decorated. Maybe you even say it's hip. Other times you walk into that kind of place and the service makes it a completely different experience -- one that begs you condemn your friends if they don't visit. Karma is that place. Seriously, get off your butts and try this place. Everything is delicious and you definitely need to try as much as you can, but you'll likely walk away more impressed with the staff's level of care and service. The whole package is just excellent. Everything is fresh, their dough is soft and delicious, they have dozens of options, prices are great, the space is clean and inviting. It's all just great. I've visited twice since discovering it and i know for sure I'll be visiting every time I visit Houston. read more

Carbs are your friend! At least these are. I have frequented this location a few times in the past couple of weeks for both breakfast and lunch. Everyone behind the counter is really friendly. Deals are to be had if you enter your phone number into their system. I have not walked out without getting a free "something" each visit. :) The dough, for both the donuts and the kolaches, is slightly sweetened making everything simply irresistible. My favorite kolache has been the sausage, cheese and roasted potato. Favorite sweet- the cinnamon roll! read more

Sweet mother of baby Jesus this place is GOLDEN!!!! The people that work in side are vary down to earth and even gave both my children a free donut to start. Lol I suggest either the spicy Boudin kolache or the sausage and gravy kolache was out of this world. Ps. We came 45 mins from Montrose to have these :) read more

If you haven't tried Karma Kolache yet...you are missing out!! Ordered 4 dozen stuffed donut holes for a "Diapers & Donuts" Baby Shower - 1 dozen red velvet with cream cheese filling, 1 dozen cinnamon sugar with nutella filling, 1 dozen glazed with Bavarian cream filling and 1 dozen powdered with lemon curd...all were fresh and delicious!! While I was there to pick up my order, decided to try their kolaches...Philly cheeseteak, Sweet Brisket, Sausage and gravy, egg, cheese and grits and boudin) all were very filling and a big hit with my 3 boys!!! Very clean and great customer service!!! And...they have kronuts and kronuts holes...YUM!!! Thanks Peace...we will be coming back soon!! read more

Pros: This place is every bit as amazing as the in town places and could go toe to toe with any of the shops within the loop. Cons: You'll go here every weekend and I have to workout more. This place deserves all the yeses. As a connoisseur of donuts & kolaches, we've tried a bunch of places. Typically, they're the traditional mom & pop shop with the usual fare. What sets Karma apart is that they have the traditional stuff + some interesting varieties. AND they're all good. There's not a single dud in the bunch. AND they're fresh every single time. Not once have I suspected that something was leftover or getting stale. Kolaches I love: the feta, chicken & spinach; pizza; and egg & sausage. We usually get those, plus a few sausage jalapeno kolaches, red velvet donut holes, a kronut, and blueberry cake donuts (a must). So now you know why we workout. read more

Hands down the best Kolaches in the area! I brought in my kids and their friends ranging in age from 1-12. The little ones got donuts and when they accidentally dropped them on the ground they not only replaced but added an extra! I got a sausage and gravy and a brisket. The older ones got boudin regular and spicy. They were all great! The dough is different than you find at Kolache factory and we all thought it was amazing! Management is friendly and this place is super cute definitely not your average Kolache/donut shop! read more

Karma Kolache & Dessert - Donuts Near Me - Houston, Texas

All I can say is "Yes, yes, and yes!" This place, from the first look, is already aesthetically pleasing. When you walk in, you'll see rows of varied kolaches--your usual sausage and cheese or their unique flavors like mac n' cheese and brisket. On the left, you'll see a nicely decorated area with places to sit on and socialize. Another thing that made this place stand out is their employees! They were both very accommodating and kindly gave us their suggestions when we asked them which one they liked. Unlike the other places that would skimp out on you on free stuff, one of the employees even gave us an extra donut when my friend and I were conflicted on which one to get. Lastly, and the most important part, the food. It was glorious. I couldn't even wait to eat when they gave me my food. My friend and I got the mac n cheese, philly cheese steak, boudin, and the cream of mushroom chicken. Out of all the we tried, the one I liked the most most was the cream of mushroom chicken. All the kolaches had a lot of filling but this one in particular just had really good flavor and different textures. This already got too long so I'll end with this: I will totally be back! read more

I picked several for the family to sample ... pulled pork, brisket, pepperoni, Philly cheese steak, and traditional sausage and cheese. We enjoyed every single one. Oh, and I put in my phone number at the counter and got a free kolache. read more

Major props to this establishment!!! They tried to stay open as much possible and as long as possible to serve the community and all the local law enforcement, first responders, fire department, etc. as soon as it was safe to re-open! They are truly remarkable since it hadn't been open long, only recently celebrated their grand opening, and then Hurricane Harvey landed in Houston! Thankfully it doesn't look like they sustained any serious damages, but might I say they are the friendliest staff and owners I've ever met! Smiles on their faces and so generous + kind! It was my first time ever visiting this place, and the owner is so genuine + kind! It was my birthday that day,, and they sure made it easy for me to start my day off on the right foot! They're kolaches are amazing! The spinach + feta is amazing, spicy sausage and cheese, and so much more! They even have ice cream donuts!!! My next purchase will definitely be the jalapeño popper! Love this place and will definitely be returning! Oh! The red velvet donut holes are a must!!! Instead of traditional cream cheese, it's more of a custard filling! A bit sweeter than your traditional donut hole, but surprisingly it's really good :) read more
