Kolaches
Catherine C.

10/10 Henry is awesome! Amazing service, amazing kolaches and donuts. We loved all of them! Will return :)

Blueberry donut and egg/cheese/jalapeno kolache
Jeffrey L.

Service - 5/5: Every time I've been here, they always greet me with a smile. I'm sure they're up at the crack of dawn, getting things prepared, but it's always such a joy coming in! Not to mention that they'll sometimes sneak in free donut holes when you're not looking. What else is there to say? Food - 5/5: The kolaches here are so good (make sure they're warmed up, if they're not fresh out of the oven)! They stick to more traditional options but still offer vegetarian-friendly options (like egg & cheese +/- jalapenos). As soon as you walk in, you can smell the delicious aroma of the dough they use. Overall: Delicious little place you can find in the Energy Corridor that you might pass on at first glance. However, I encourage you to give them a try! Support this delicious local business.

Their glazed is perfect!
Patty C.

Glad I decided to pay this place a try based on Yelp reviews. I wanted to find a new favorite donut shop nearby, one that offered traditional donuts and savory pastries much like Shipley's but something different. The owner Nathan greeted us warmly and offered us some delicious samples right on the spot. Oh goodness! It was light and airy, the kind of donut perfection that lingers on the mind! I was definitely interested in those savory kolaches! I split the cheesesteak and Bomber with my dining partner. I enjoyed both! The dough was light and buttery. The boudin kolache was also delish! I even had a bit of the Chapel Hill sausage kolache, and boy was it yummy! Seriously, everything was tasty and indulging is a guarantee. There's a solid selection of bottled drinks available as well as freshly made espresso beverages. Definitely make this a stop if you're searching for that special and simple donut shop in the area! One of the donuts from our order was missing or not remembered? But no biggie. We will definitely be back.

mac & cheese kolache
Audrey H.

I had some serious donut cravings and wanted some really good donuts to satisfy my hunger. After hearing local rumors about how good Kolache Bar's donuts are, I just had to stop by. Right off the bat, I loved seeing how clean and organized their shop was. Secondly, I loved how we were greeted with a warm welcome and smile. Lastly, I loved how they included samples at the front so that it made it easier for me to decide which donut to get. I got to try the classic flavors, glazed and chocolate glazed donuts. I enjoyed the dough of their donuts a lot. It wasn't too bready and dry and I think the icing to dough ratio was just right. I especially loved their chocolate glazed donut! It has become my all time favorite chocolate glazed donut ever. The chocolate donut was sweet, but the glaze had very light hints of bitterness that complimented the chocolate very well, like it was a dark chocolate glaze. This place also sells kolaches! I got to try the mac & cheese kolache and egg and potato kolache. Both were also pretty tasty too. This shop has a great variety of donuts and kolaches! Plus their prices are extremely affordable, so you can buy a whole bunch without breaking your wallet. You should give this local gem a go!

Koffeteria is an absolute hidden gem located in EaDo. I just found out about it from Instagram and…read morewas shocked that I've never heard about it prior, despite it being here for years! Anyway, I finally got a chance to stop by on a Sunday late morning recently. Parking can be difficult, but there are dedicated Koffeteria spots in front of the business as well as surrounding paid curbside parking. I believe Instagram helped many others discover this business recently, as it was pretty packed and there was a line, but this gave us ample opportunity to peruse the menu and pastry display. Ultimately, we opted for the: Cambodian iced coffee (kayfe dahkoh) made with sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk - tasted very similar but weaker than Vietnamese coffee. As I'm Viet and have never had Cambodian coffee, this was my only frame of reference, and I didn't love it. I'm excited to try more Cambodian coffees to get a better understanding of their unique flavor profile! Black sesame mochi - sweet and perfectly sesame flavored with salted yolk at the bottom, delicious, my partner's favorite pastry Beef pho kolache - the bun was so soft and complemented the soft but flavorful brisket meat. wow. truly a brisket pho in a kolache. We got extremely lucky and got a table almost immediately after ordering, as someone left just in time. The interior is full of vintage furniture, which added so much character. As a vintage lover, I felt so at home! I could see how others might prefer a more neat, chic interior, but to me this was absolutely perfect and added so much warmth, homeliness, and character to the shop. Absolutely love this coffee shop and will 100% be back to try more pastries and coffees. Immediately, this has become a new Houston favorite!

Just an FYI. If you're not going to the convention center and are just looking for an amazing cafe/bakery, Koffeteria is it. I was looking at their large display case for so long that they asked me if I needed help deciding! But that was a great offer because I did need help. I asked for an item that I can eat now, an item that I can snack on later, and a sweet treat. They recommended the guava cheese danish for now, cause it won't travel well. They recommended the Earl Gray Sweet Bun for later. And then they recommended the double chocolate chip cookie. Everything was fantastic. The guava danish was absolutely delightful. The Earl Gray bun was also great when I had it later in the day.

He's a chocolate lover so I decided on the Black Forest cake for him which is one of their specialties. I ordered the night before for noon pickup and paid online which was a pretty easy process. I was able to include instructions to write "Happy Birthday Dad!" When I stopped by on a Sunday at noon, thankfully parking wasn't too bad and I snagged a spot easily. Beware parking here at busier times - when I visited on a Saturday at 1:30pm it was mayhem. On entering, I saw an array of desserts and savory items. I decided to also pick up a savory kolache-type pastry (I never got the name of it) and the cake! The employee was quick and helpful - she located the cake, showed me the design and lettering to make sure it was ok before I left. The cake was a huge hit! We loved the light sponge cake with layers of whipped cream which were light and not too sweet. Then layer of cherries was lovely. The fruits on top were fresh and nicely arranged. The appearance was gorgeous as well, with chocolate shavings delicately arranged on the outside. We were not too impressed by the kolache. I was also able to try their pandan cake slice on another visit and loved the flavoring, lightness of the cake and the icing was very tasty. I will definitely be coming back here for more cakes in the not too distant future!

They have a select variety of pastries. We got their butter croissant, blueberry cream cheese danish, and spinach pastry. The croissant was one of the best I had in Houston! It is subtle, buttery, and flaky and does not go stale from staying out all day. I think these Houston croissants are the most similar to the ones I had in France! The blueberry cream cheese danish had a healthy and generous amount of blueberries. It was flaky, and the cream cheese flavor was not overwhelming or artificial. The spinach pastry was also flaky like the others and had a good spinach and cream flavor. I also had a bite of my friend's cinnamon kouign-amann, but it was not as good as the others and was a bit on the drier side. All the pastries I got were well balanced with subtle flavors and had golden, crispy flakes. I really enjoyed them, and although I have been here a handful of times, it's definitely a Houston croissant staple, which I will be visiting more often!

So, what we decided to do was to place an order for the chocolate ganache tarts a couple of days later, but while we were here, we'd try their Amandine tart, Sachertorte, and an Eclaire. Wow, I just had a bite of each and....daaaang, they were so so soooo good!
