This is an awesome spot for a quick, hearty breakfast ,perfect whether you're eating solo or feeding a big group! It's kind of like a Polish-style hot pocket, and they have tons of flavor options for both breakfast and lunch. We tried a mix of sausage and egg, bacon and egg, potato and egg, sausage gravy, rancheros, and more ,every single one was delicious. The service was super fast, and the food quality was excellent. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

I wanted to try the Kolache of the Month - awesome brisket. I had a coupon for BOGOF. Each of my brisket kolaches had more egg than brisket so I was very disappointed. They tasted fine. On a Sunday morning, there were a lot of customers and cashiers, so the line went fast. read more

I've been going here for years and the quality is always the same. Although the one in Carmel is now tucked away in a tiny strip mall off 116th, Waze will get you there! My favorite are the spinach kolache's. Today I bought all that was left of the spinach, 1 Italian chicken, and 1 chicken enchilada. If you've never tried one, you definitely should. They have sweet ones, savory ones, breakfast ones, lunch, etc. read more

Kolaches for breakfast before the Indy 500! Kolaches are dough balls with toppings inside- I got a sausage egg and cheese kolache and it was fabuloussssssss. The dough was so yeasty (yum). I loved it! It was so warm and flavorful. The sausage was so yummy and I had the perfect amount of cheesiness to complement the eggs. Overall 10/10 breakfast experience. The flavors we all got today were sausage/egg/cheese, bacon/egg/cheese, BBQ brisket, and smoked sausage. Family reviews: Uncle George: "it was different" Armen: "it was good" Dad: "too much fat in the meat" Derek: "Good. If the outside was crunchy it would be better. Lot of good flavors. Brisket was good." read more

Wow! I'm impressed. It was a restaurant filled with hungry people. There was one staff member, Maria, and she was working hard! In comes a Door Dash employee who is frustrated about the delay on his order. Maria apologized, and let him know she was the only person working today and would get to the order as soon as possible. She explained that it had been busy all morning, and she had gotten behind. She was calm, kind, and professional but conveyed sincerity about getting the order finished and to the driver. The Door Dash driver continued to complain and be rude and mean to her. As the crowd in the lobby became more uncomfortable, and the Door Dash driver left, we each made our way to the register, ordered, and apologized for the way Maria was treated. She responded with gratitude and kindness and went back to working hard to help those of us in line. The restaurant was clean, and the food looked amazing. The Kolaches were going fast as the customers came in and ordered, but I'm not surprised. The Kolaches are always Great, and I can see why the restaurant is so popular. I can happily recommend the Kolaches, and after the customer service experience today, I can't say enough great things about Maria. She's the kind of person I'd happily hire for my business if she was in the healthcare field. To the owner of the Kolache Factory, thank you so much for staffing your restaurant with such an amazing professional. read more

The food was amazing and so was our server, Jenna Irvine. The atmosphere is wonderful, too! I love going there!

When I hear someone say "Kolache", they remind me of sweet dessert pastry topped with some fruit jelly. I come to the Kolache factory and I get a variety of meat encased in a puffy dough. What a treat I got and with the selection that is offered. I have the luxury to choose the delights. I ordered a few which are bbq, ranchero and egg. I was able to share some to my family which filled their little tummies. Cost per item is around $4 which is not too bad for a delightful treat. Next time I will need to try other flavors that they offer. read more

Bottomline: Kolaches are delicious. For those unfamiliar with the term, a Kolache is a yeast based pastry filled with fruit or other ingredients. Many of the kolaches are geared towards breakfast (sausage/bacon, egg, cheese varieties). But they also have lunch-style ones including polish dogs, philly cheesesteak, pizza, bbq brisket and italian chicken among others. I usually go around breakfast time and will pick up an extra one to have as a snack later in the day. My personal favorite is the ranchero which comes with ham, egg, cheese, picante sauce and jalapenos, all inside the sweet, doughy yeast roll. This location in particular has more inside seating than other locations I have been to. They open early and close early (6am-2pm) most days, so be sure to stop in and get yours today! read more

So happy I finally gave in to my husband and tried the kolaches! Or am I? I an't stop thinking about those delicious fillings rolled in that wonderful bread dough. Love the Cuban, the spinach and the bbq. Also the dessert kilaches are awesome. they aren't rolled in dough, so they look a little different, but still oh, so yummy. The people working behing the counter were fast and very helpful. I had a few questions about which ones to trry and even one of the guys who had just gotten off work, was helpful. The dinig room was very clean, and looked like it had been cleaned just prior to me coming in. I'll be going back very soon! read more

TL;DR: Enjoyed the Kolache, may want to ask to have them heated (especially the savory), good price, will return. Price: Good price, enough for two people was ~$12. Food: Good taste, the bbq was our favorite the last two times. Recommend asking them to heat up the savory ones for sure. The egg mix ones had too much egg vs other ingredients which lead to a bit of a blandness that I didn't care for and probably won't get again. Service: I've stopped in twice, the first time I wasn't asked about warming up the Kolache and the second time I was. As we got savory ones both times, heating was an essential part of enjoying them as we ate there. Overall: Overall good experience, probably won't get the egg ones again but will definitely be back for the savory ones. read more

Great place for a quick filling breakfast that you can cater for yourself or a big group of people! I like to think of it as a polish hot pocket. They have all types of flavors - breakfast and lunch. We got a box of an assortment of sausage/egg, bacon/egg, potato/egg. sausage gravy, rancheros, and more. They were all fantastic and the service was incredibly fast for good quality food. We will be returning! read more

High quality, slightly sweet, m balls of dough stuffed with a variety of fillings for anytime of day: breakfast items like egg and cheese; lunch items such as chicken enchilada or Italian chicken and then the classic fruit topping kolaches. Always friendly staff ready to help. Visited during covid pandemic and seemed very clean and up to date with guidelines. Highly recommend! read more

My new favorite breakfast restaurant. I am a huge fan of the breakfast kolaches. I had a manager bring these to work and craved them until the weekend when we were able to come back for more. Quick service- tons of options. My favorite is sausage egg and cheese. Chicken enchilada was tasty too but did have some spice. I also liked the spinach artichoke dip one as well. Can't wait to come back - just looking at my photos makes me want more now. read more

Easy quick breakfast perfect for running errands. We got a nice assortment of kolaches this morning because we wanted a good filling easy meal. We got a mix - ranchero, Italian chicken, bacon egg and cheese. All very good! If you haven't had them before - they are similar to a very soft bagel or bun with fillings. Either sweet or savory. These would be great for a large gathering, office lunch, family gathering. read more

The food was okay, service really bad, (sorry to say) and the ambiance was welcoming.

What amazing service from Cruiz, the food is always amazing! We are working our way through the menu to try them all.

I had never had a kolache but I love ANYTHING that has to do with "stuff inside of bread". I mean, really, you can't go wrong! I had the bbq roll and the jalapeño popper roll, as well as a sweet cream cheese roll. My favorite was the jalapeño with its contrast between sweet dough and spicy/creamy filling. I could probably eat a whole batch of those things! Armed with the knowledge of this being so close to me, it's a good thing it's right near my gym too! I'm gonna need the extra exercise! ;) read more

Rude lady up front. I ordered 6 kolaches (buy 3, get 3) and then an apple one on top. Thats 7 total. She gave me 6 and i told her i ordered 7 and she acted like i was crazy and told me i was wrong. Ended up just leaving with what she gave. Ordered 7, paid for 7, got 6. She wasnt worth fighting with. Wont be back. read more

3.5 stars I wanted something special for breakfast, and my favorite donut shop is closed on Sundays. I thought I'd give Kolache Factory a try, and I was pleasantly surprised. I went an hour before closing, and they still had a pretty decent selection. The best part was the service. The guy working there was very patient with all my questions. He was also extremely knowledgeable, since he had personally baked everything. We tried an assortment of kolaches. The savory ones were all decent but bland. We would probably try them again with hot sauce. We had the egg and cheese, egg/cheese/potato, and veggie supreme. The sweet ones were better. We tried the cream cheese and apple kolaches and a cinnamon roll. The cream cheese was my favorite, and it's good if you want something a little sweet but don't want the sugar overload of a donut. Since the savory items were so bland, I think I prefer my usual donut shop overall. Given the convenience and good hours of Kolache Factory, however, I will most likely return. read more

I've heard mixed reviews about this place, so I had to check it out myself. I tried three different Kolache's. I had a bacon and cheese, a sausage cheese and jalapeño and a sausage gravy. The sausage gravy was my favorite but I still didn't love it. I thought the other two were dry and lacking flavor. I love the concept and think these could be out of this world, but for me they missed the mark. read more

Kolache Factory - Bacon and cheese. Very dry and lacking flavor. - Bakeries Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

I ordered a peach and a cherry kolache. The bun was salty. I don't know anything about kolaches, so maybe they're supposed to be like this, but it was a little offputting in a dessert. The peach and cherry fillings were nothing special; they seemed like canned pie filling to me. Don't get me wrong... I ate both of them, but that says more about me than it does about the appeal of the product. Part of me says the savory kolaches might be better, but I'm not sure that I want to know badly enough to go back. read more

I was born in 1968, making me a member of Generation X. Few things are as boring as members of different generational cohorts slinging insults at one another, but this time, I'm doing it anyway. Let this serve as a shot across the bow: If you're a member of Generation Z (born in the late 90's or early 2000's), and you work at a restaurant, you are hereby ordered to pull your head out of your ass and pretend to give a &*^%. So, the Kolache Factory in Carmel is something I had never heard of prior to this weekend. A kolach is a type of pastry that holds a portion of filling (eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, etc.) surrounded by puffy dough. They originated in what is now known as the Czech Republic. They're about the size of a fat donut, but they're quite filling, and somewhat addictive. My wife and I decided to give them a try Saturday morning. Long story short: This was yet another prime example of a really awesome new food offering, spoiled by poor customer service. As the young lady was taking our order at the front counter, she literally stopped/halted us twice during the order up at the counter, so that she could dance to the music playing on the overhead speaker. No, I'm not joking. She forced a paying customer (me) to wait while she sang along and danced (for about 4 seconds each time) to a pop song playing on the radio. To say that her attention was not on her work would be an understatement. My wife and I looked at each other, in shocked disbelief. I nearly scolded her in front of everyone, but not wanting to cause a scene, I let her go ahead and boogie. Ironically, her dancing skills were as poor as her customer service skills. I'm refraining from naming her in this review, but she knows what she did. Utterly unbelievable. So, there you have it. If the store manager is reading this, I recommend you fire her, and then arrange to have music playing in your office while you're firing her. Maybe you can capture her full attention, because I sure couldn't on Saturday. Disclaimer #1: I have a feeling that our experience was isolated and was entirely the fault of a brain-dead kid taking our order. I'm not holding it against the restaurant, but I'm also not letting this one slide (hence, this review). Disclaimer #2: If the manager or owner reads this review, please refrain from contacting me to offer coupons, gift cards or other peace offerings. It won't work, and other Yelpers always see those gestures for what they really are. Instead, put that money toward customer service training for the kids up front on the weekends. read more

Fortunately we live close to the Kolache Factory and the kids especially love the kolaches. They have their favorite combos. This location is very popular and often has a bit of a line on the weekends. My only complaint would be the calories - if not for that issue; I would partake more often! read more

I was very excited to try these things. They were okay!! I got the jalapeño popper, pizza and Philly steak. I expected to really like the pizza and Philly steak but honestly the best one was the jalapeño popper. The pizza one was very dry needed more cheese. And the Philly just kinda lacked flavor and needed more cheese as well. I would return for the jalapeño and to try others!! They are priced pretty well and don't forget to have them warmed up! read more

I have been wanting to try these since they seem like an easy breakfast or midday snack. I went on a Sunday morning around 9:30 and there were a few people leaving so I ended up being the only one inside which was nice. The staff greeted me right away and asked how they could help me. I asked for recommendations since it was all new to me and there are so many to choose from. It kind of reminds me of a Dunkin' Donuts with all the options on display and ready to be boxed up. I got the ranchero, potato egg and cheese and sausage and gravy. She asked if I wanted them warmed up which of course I said yes! By the time I was done paying I only had to wait about 30 seconds before they were ready to go. We ate them right when we got home and they were still warm. I was a little surprised how big they were but they were definitely filling. The ranchero and potato egg and cheese were very good. The sausage and gravy had dough that wasn't fully cooked on the inside so didn't get a good chance to try that one. These are a great to go item, pretty cheap and many options for every taste. read more

Served em cold and not very tasty! Just blah! Would have been better off going to someplace else.

Kolache Factory should be on every street corner! This is in a nice location. They have so many Kolache's to choose from! I chose the sausage, egg, and cheese and the sausage and gravy one. Both were warm and the bread was soft with a lot of the filling inside. They don't skimp on the filling that's what I like. I ordered a caramel macchiato and that was great!! For around $8 you can't get beat the price. The lady behind the counter was very nice and was very fast. When you walk inside they have two chairs and the morning news was playing. Nice touch! I wish they more of these around. This would be my breakfast stop. Until we meet again Kolache's! read more

These are not kolaches. When I saw the name, I was so excited to go and discover it. However, I was so disappointed when I arrived. They are buns, some savory, sone sweet. I left so disappointed. The counter person was pleasant and understood my confusion. I guess I'm not the only one. This was not at all what I expected by the name. Please choose a different name. The current one is really deceiving. read more

It probably took me ages to write this review because I always write a review and attach pictures with it. But, with Kolache Factory, the kolaches are so yummy that I forget to get clicks before I sink my teeth in them. My favorite are their egg, potato and cheese kolache and the strawberry one and this time I tried the spinach one and accidentally the gave me a cherry one instead of strawberry and they turned out to be pretty yum as well! The kolaches are inexpensive and often comes with buy 3, get 3 offers when you sign up, which is great! read more

First time here from out of town. Love the concept! The food is good just get it to go! I Had the ham egg and cheese croissant and the blueberry strudel. My wife had the country breakfast and asked for peach filled bun and got an apple one instead. The service was not good. The Cashier felt annoyed that we came in and she was not very helpful or pleasant at all. Would not come back. read more

1st visit to Kolache for breakfast. Ordered cheese and egg Kolache and peach kolache (savory and sweet). The Kolache is so fresh, soft and yummy. The flavor of egg and cheese combined made a good combo. Peach kolache was fruity and not too sweet. Overall, would recommend visiting for the Kolache Indi hype! 4* for the price, absolutely pricey for each Kolache. read more

Went here for the first time the other day with our young kids. It's a perfect little treat or meal for them being handheld. The bacon & cheese one was stuffed full of bacon and the sweet options were delicious. My only small complaint was that I wish they had been slightly warmer after being warmed up. If the cheese had been a little melty inside, it would have been amazing! We'll definitely be back! read more
