I go to the kolache factory every couple of months, only because of the location. I love kolaches, and this place is hit or miss. Somedays they are out of what I want. The most recent time, I went there my kolache wasn't even cooked all the way. It was still doughy, enough to make my stomach irk with a bite! They need better quality check on their food. Raw dough is gross and can contain bacteria that can make you sick. read more

We look forward to fridays, as both my wife and I work from home. This gives us a chance to have kolaches for breakfast. We lived in Houston for a few years, and when we moved back to KC, we were delighted to know that one of our favorite breakfast treats was just up the road from our new (to us) house. I'm partial to the Texas hot, which is very much the same thing that I'd always order when we lived in Tx. The downside is that others like that one too, and it's not abnormal to walk in to find none left, even before 8am. The upside is that there are plenty of other great kolaches to choose, so I'm never left hanging. read more

It's been years since I eaten a kolache from Kolache Factory. It seems as though they have added so many options. Service was quick and the servers, friendly. I was in and out in about 4 minutes with a warm delicious chorizo and egg kolache. read more

I love the kolaches and the people have always been nice. But today I went in to get some and take advantage of my birthday coupon. You could only get one that had egg and I do not care for eggs. I said I would take, of course a cheaper priced one but they would not do it. I know there are rules but maybe two options should be available. read more

I ordered a strawberry smoothie. It was made with strawberry puree and ice. I threw it away. The rolls also tasted like they weren't cooked all the way. read more

Talk about a quick and easy breakfast bite! We absolutely love to stop by on a Sunday and grab a few Kolache for the road. My go to order is two sausage gravy and jalapeño popper that comes with bacon, jalapeño and cream cheese. Each kolache cost between $2-3 so we can walk out of there only spending about $10 for the two of us! You can also have them warm up your Kolache at no extra charge. We leave fill and happy every trip. I have noticed that they do cater and I think it would be a great option for a baby shower or something of that nature. read more

The kolache factory is Delicioso. As a principal I am often tasked with securing breakfast for my staff and when I come through the door with kolache factory, everyone has smiles. I love that they have traditional go to options that are hits however, I would like them to expand and explore new recipes. The restaurant is always clean and I am greeted with a smile read more

This place caught my eye. I had to find out what a "Kolache" is. I found that they were pastry rolls with different fillings and looked pretty tasty so headed out to give them a try. The Colombian coffee and sausage egg and cheese Kolache were great.. the others, not so much. We got the potato and egg, the mild sausage and a fruit one and they were blah. Plus the cashier just warmed them up in the microwave and they weren't very warm on the inside. Definitely a different experience and taste but glad I gave them a chance. Update* they have added chorizo & egg along with steak and egg and other options. A friend of mine bought some and I gave it another go. They were pretty delicious! Glad they are offering up new flavors read more

LOVE THE RANCHERO!! If I could have a kolache everyday I would. Always quality food, quick and friendly service. I wish they had one in NKC!

I love this place. I stop in here and grab a dozen to give out to clients. I like to be the sales person that takes in something besides donuts. What is a kolache? I describe it as a sweet yummy roll stuffed with yummy goodness! They have different types. I always get the ranchero, BBQ brisket and potato and egg. There are many sweet and savory options to choose from. read more

I didn't even know KC had options like this until I saw pictures of it on social media. I didn't know what a Kolache was so I looked it up beforehand and decided to give this place a try. For those that don't know, a Kolache is a Central European pastry that is usually made with a topping of fruit jam and originated as a semisweet wedding dessert. At this location they had both dessert style options as well as breakfast and entree options as well. For example, I ordered a blueberry fruit jam kolache as well as a sausage/egg/cheese version. Both were good. The blueberry kolache wasn't overtly sweet, which I appreciate because I think too many of American desserts are sugar overloaded. The sausage/egg/cheese kolache was filled with the scramble and served as a nice mini breakfast in one. The dough for both was fluffy and soft. I tried kolache once in Seattle at a local shop, and these don't compare but they are good if you're looking for some new baked good options. Overall, the flavor profile was on the average side, but I definitely appreciated the great puffy texture and friendly service. I believe this restaurant is a chain, and glad to see KC expanding it's quick service eatery options for those on the go. read more

We've always loved Kolache Factory and normally would rate it 5 stars. However, the Shawnee location has been running out of certain flavors early lately and not making more. If you're going to be open for 3 more hours, the right thing to do is make more so that customers can get what they came for without having to wait 30 minutes for fresh. This has been a problem multiple times lately, so we probably won't be back for a while. Hopefully it will be resolved. read more

The older man that started this company is nasty. He never washes his hands. Please eat here at your own risk. I worked there. He flipped out on me one day after giving me the keys to open bc he over slept and I was there at the store unable to get in. Then he was angry about everything that day and fired me. It took me awhile to write this bc I really was confused about what happened and it weighed on me. I did nothing wrong. I verbally tell people not to eat there but I've never written a review. Now I have and told all that went with it. Check his fingernails when you go in there for yourself. Then you be the judge. Thank you for you nasty ways and harmful speech. It makes me aim be a better person everyday so that I don't end up bitter and nasty. It doesn't look well and I don't want to wear those clothes. read more

Why doesn't online ordering work? Everytime I try to order online it says this location is not accepting online orders or next available pickup time is three hours away. I always order anything I get ahead of time but this restaurant is frustrating when I just want to preorder and pay before i get there read more

Great place for breakfast or brunch. They close at 2:00 now. If you sign up online or look in the Valpak coupons in the mail you can get buy 3 get 3 free. Kolaches are basically meat, vegetables, and/or eggs stuffed in a buttery bread roll. There is a new Kolache of the month every month! My favorites are Italian Chicken and Egg & Cheese. If you want something south of the border go with Ranchero or Chicken Enchilada great for a little kick. You can't go wrong with their fruit kolaches either if you want something sweet. There's about 4 or 5 different fruit kinds. Also love coffee? They have great seasonal and flavored coffee that changes every 4 or 5 months. Great staff and music :) ambience is great. I recommend this for breakfast or brunch for sure! read more

Delicious stuffed bread rolls! The breakfast ones are great. Good portions, very filling. You can get them cold or have them warmed up in the store to eat right away. read more

Going to undergrad in Texas, kolache's were always a go-to quick bite whether you were on a road trip or just needed a little pick-me-up snack while still feeling satisfied. I was so happy to see this place pop-up in KC. I still feel the kolaches you find in TX are a bit larger and stuffed accordingly, but these filled the craving if you find yourself ever yearning for bready/meaty goodness. read more

Yummy!!!!!!!! The bacon & cheese Kolache hits the spot for all you bacon lovers out there!! Recommendation: Heat up before consuming but either way it's delicious! read more

3 hours in to their work day, out of their main staple of egg and cheese kolaches? i am in aw , i stormed out of that place as soon as i heard they were out. i don't understand ? read more

We were disappointed. The kolaches were ok, but underseasoned. We tried the bacon egg and cheese, sausage egg and cheese, jalapeño sausage and cheese, Philly cheesesteak, smoked cheddar and cream cheese kolaches. The bread on all of them was ok, but nothing special. In the bacon and sausage kolaches we couldn't taste any meat. My friend that had the jalapeño sausage said the spice was ok, and the friend that ate the philly said it was ok but he was disappointed there were no bell peppers inside with the meat and onions. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly, but that was the most appealing thing. read more

Looooove these sweet breaded bites on heaven! Great customer service, fair prices, convenient location. My favorite is the ham & cheese croissant, my husband loves the Texas hot. Highly recommended!! read more

Kolache? I hardly knowche... crap, that didn't make any sense. Well, whatever, I'm drunk on bacon and cheese wrapped in a delightful shell made of bread. That is like everything I love right there, down to the something being wrapped in something else (especially if the first something is bacon and cheese). The Kolache Factory should be sweeping the nation. True story. Reasonably priced (cheap, even) tasty food, ready when you walk in the door, lots of tasty options. What's not to love? So the basics, for the uninitiated. Kolaches are basically little bread rolls stuffed with things. At the Kolache Factory, they are stuffed with bacon & cheese, ham and cheese, egg ham and cheese, sausages, polish sausages, pizza toppings, Italian chicken, and so on and so forth. There are fruit filled things, cinnamon roll type things, and croissants too! I'm a big fan of the mild or Texas hot sausages. And I LOVE the ham and cheese kolache. it is my go to kolache. They dice up the ham nice and tiny, add melty cheese and voila! delicious! You can get them warm or room temp (if you are taking them home). You just need to pop them in the microwave for like 20 seconds when you are ready to eat them and they are pipin' hot and ready for your belly! Added bonus, you can order warm or frozen dinner rolls by the dozen. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOING JUST THAT! We had a coupon for buy one get one free and got 2 dozen frozen dinner rolls that we took for Thanksgiving. We let them thaw per the instructions and popped them in the oven and they came out perfectly cooked and they were quite possibly the best dinner roll I've had. And they were cheap (even without the coupon)! Do yourself a favor and swing by a Kolache Factory sometime. You'll be happy you did, I promise. read more

The Kolache Factory is an excellent stop any time of the day. I usually go in there at least once a week simply for business. I order a dozen mixed breakfast type kolaches and deliver to client meetings. The customer service has always been great. They prepare the to go order and the presentation is great. I just deliver and that's it. Every office that I have delivered to raves about them. The price seems a little high but since its a business expense and a write off its not a big deal. read more

Kolaches are delicious, and Kolache Factory has a ton of variety. The fruit flavored and cream cheese kolaches are great, and so are the breakfast egg varieties. The sausage gravy kolache was so good. The interior is clean - very important in my mind. Kolaches are an inexpensive treat! The first time I came here, I went back two mornings later because I liked it so much! read more

Tried for the first time a couple weeks ago!!! Employees very nice and helpful line went fast!!! It was delicious!!! Great prices too!

I was initially hesitant about Kolache Factory...figuring it to be a chain of some sort. But we were in the area anyways for sushi, and with KF being just down the road, it was an easy decision to stop by. Glad I did, b/c the products were pretty tasty. There were lots of choices. I decided to go with their most popular kolache which was the sausage and gravy. My husband doesn't eat beef or pork, so I chose the croissant filled with Italian chicken. I def rec heating your food up, b/c it makes such a difference. The filling to bun ratio for both items was very good. I just really like the idea of biting into a warm bun and hitting gravy. And it's so cute and portable. My husband's croissant was very large and maybe even tastier than mine. They used chicken breast, but it wasn't overly dry and I don't think that mattered too much b/c the sauce adds moisture. He gave his a 9/10. I'd give mine a 7.5/10. I've had sausage and gravy kolache before with tastier gravy and softer, thicker bun. Glad we stopped by, and recommend KF to anyone who enjoys filled buns. We'll have to return for their desserts (though those are not filled, but look more like danishes). read more

Great place to grab a quick but different breakfast. Clean environment and helpful staff.

The kolaches here are really great. We had 4 different kinds and they were all winners. The sausage and gravy were the best but the fruit pastries were just ok. Nice on the inside too. And a good variety of coffees. read more

My husband just polished off 3 Kolaches. He keeps saying he's glad we don't live closer. They are light & fluffy and run the gamut between sweet and savory. read more

The Kolache folks make amazing flavors! We liked the sweet versions more than some of the savory, but that's less of a straight up fail, and more along the lines that we like stronger flavors. Check this place out, a wonderful alternative to the occasional doughnut. read more

I have no idea why it took me so long in life to try kolaches. I'm obsessed. This location is clean, the employees are friendly, and they are quick and helpful. My husband and I came in last weekend and were so impressed by the ladies who helped us. We ended up getting a dozen assorted savory and sweet kolaches. We took them to a family breakfast and everyone raved over how amazing they were. We will definitely be back! read more

I love Kolache factory. I used to get kolache from 135th and Metcalf location years ago. I'm glad it opens one near my house. I love ham, egg and cheese kolache the most and ranchero kolache. I remembered it used to be small but not it is bigger than before. Service is quick and I don't have to wait long. I usually went around 8:30-9:00am. Their morning blend coffee is so delicious and not too strong which is the way I enjoy. They also have sticky buns and it is so delicious. Every time I bought kolache to the my work or party, everyone always asked me where do I get those. If you like stuff bread for breakfast, give this place a try. I also like Italian chicken kolache too. read more

Tend to agree with Sheila S. Blander than they used to be. Need more flavor; and spice in the kolaches that are supposed to be spicy. I also note more 'bread' and less 'stuffing'. That said, it is a unique offering and the service has ALWAYS been friendly and efficient. read more

I want to love this place, I really do because my family is Czech and I grew up these things, but I have never been treated with so much disrespect. There was a confusion on which day I needed to pick up my order, and let's just say the guy in the back snapped in a way I have NEVER been snapped at at a place of business before. I was in shock. Food was great, but that man just should not work with people. read more

I went here for the first time at the beginning of October and I have already been back several times. It is not overpriced in my opinion and the food taste fresh and of good quality. Every time I have gone in the workers have been friendly. I will be back! read more

This place used to be great! We'd come every Saturday morning. But lately they've gotten all new management and staff and it's really gone downhill. All the kolaches are overcooked and understuffed, AND they cost more now?! Really disappointing, used to love it but now it just isn't good at all. read more

Kolache Factory - Overcooked and understuffed. They used to be literally full inside, now they've barely got any stuffing. - Bakeries Near Me - Shawnee, Kansas

Horrible experience! This should be 0 stars. My vegetarian wife and I ordered breakfast to go and got home to begin eating. When she bit in to her potato egg and cheese kolache she saw dark chunks of what appeared to be meat and tomatoes so she immediately spit it out. I drove back to the location to get the correct food. The manager named Jerry was extremely rude he said the kolache was correct. When I said the description doesn't match the content he said that wasn't his fault. I asked for a new kolache since my wife's was ruined and Jerry responded by saying I could buy another because "He wouldn't eat my mistake" When I called back to get the managers name he answered and asked who I was, when I explained the situation he hung up on me. A customer should never be hung up on, and the manager should never act the way he did. We will never be going back to Kolache Factory. read more
