    The most perfect morning bite! Every time I'm in Houston, Kolache Shoppe is my go-to first stop. The buns are soft, pillowy, and taste like a savory Hawaiian roll! There's a drive-thru and a few outdoor tables. Service is quick and super friendly. I tried the Ranchero, Egg, Cheese & Jalapeño and the Potato, Egg & Cheese--both were delicious, but the ranchero salsa stole the show. TL;DR: Soft, flavorful kolaches, fast service, and major morning comfort. Don't skip the Ranchero kolaches!

    Spicy Chopped Cheese Kolache Shoppe X Burger Bodega
    Bradley L.

    Burger Bodega's chopped cheese has always been a hit, and I stan the spicy version, straight fire every time. So when I saw it was getting the kolache treatment with Kolache Shoppe, I had to try it. Flavor wise, it's a fun collab that works. The spicy chopped cheese hits with the same savory punch, wrapped in that soft, slightly sweet kolache dough. It's available in non-spicy too, but for me, spicy is the only way. That said, I do wish the kolache had more filling. The flavor is there, but the ratio felt off--m especially for something this bold. The ones I got had clearly lost some filling during baking, so you're kind of chasing that perfect bite. The store was selling 3 and not just one by itself based on the weight alone. Still, it's a cool fusion moment between two local favorites. If they tweak the filling just a bit, this could go from fun collab to all-time classic. Kolaches are already an all day snack but I'd roll up for a full lunch if I could lock in a spicy chopped. As always, I'm a sucker for good marketing, so I went for the banana bread iced oat milk latte. A little on the sweet side, but honestly delicious. I'd recommend it. The drive-thru was slammed when I got there, so I parked across the street and walked in. Inside, it felt a bit chaotic. There were a lot of people behind the counter, but only a couple of them seemed to actually be running the show. Big shoutout to the few who were clearly keeping things moving. One last note. the register setup is tight. When two people are checking out at the same time, it gets awkward fast. It's one of those layouts where you're basically shoulder to shoulder with a stranger.

    Wow! This place was had quite the crowd at both the drive thru and inside, but for good reason. I've never seen a more complete kolache menu. We went with the breakfast kolaches, which included eggs. The Pinkerton's brisket egg & cheddar and Rachero kolaches were both delicious! The line moves very quickly and staff is fantastic. I will be back to try more flavors!

    Usually love this place for a quick bite - but was very surprised when I received my order this morning. Upon pulling it out of the bag I noticed blue and green spots on the bottoms of the kolaches. At first, I thought it was just the shadow from the sausage on the inside, but it looked closer and it was sporadically spread out all over the bottom of the kolache that was also extra extraordinarily damp.... Threw away immediately as it not only appeared to have some mold but also was sopping wet in the bag.

    Great kolache shoppe and I recommend it to anyone. The sausage egg cheese jalapeño is my go to item. I usually use the app and pick it up inside to avoid any weekend lines. It's also run extremely well by management- service is always great and everything's always fresh

    Notice the blue stickers!

For my visit, it was crowded but not to where you couldn't hear your table. Dress is casual, good for friends, solo, or pit stop. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Since it was our first visit there, she gave us some background that it was a Pappa's owned restaurant and food is made from scratch. Food: 3/5 They offer mimosas and I was tempted to order, but was driving and it was 9AM so forewent that option. There are food options for every tastebud. Mark ordered the fried cheese sticks, they were one of the items that I found worthwhile to return for. I opted for the Waffle feast. It included a waffle, that I added pecans on top to, two strips of bacon, eggs your way and hash browns. To say that I needed to add salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns because they tasted bland and flavorless was unfortunate. It also was served at room temperature, because it was made from scratch, would think it be warmer to hot. The waffle was savory and had good mix and topped with the pecans made it even better. If you're on this side of town and want a change up from the "other breakfast diners" DOT would be where I stop. Fast, friendly service. Depending the food you get, it gets the job done for some sustenance to hold you over when you're not sure when your next meal is because you'll be in Galveston for 7 hours riding a float in the Mardi Gras parade.

What I eventually found both surprised and delighted me, and Nate's gets a thumbs up overall. Pictures are deceiving as I thought the place would be larger but it's a tight fit for bigger groups. There are only a handful of tables but plenty of character. It's also a bit grimey, unsightly and even a tinge dodgey, which may be a deal breaker for others but is an immediate appeal to me. Two things immediately standout when it comes to the food: the portions and the prices are outstanding. The offerings are as no frills as the rest of the establishment. The other surprise was how much influence there was from Mexican cuisine. Hash browns were the goal, but chorizo and chilaquiles were the bonus. Another surprise? The hash browns weren't as crispy as I would have wanted. It's entirely plausible that I came on an off day, which happens. However everything else was on point as my chorizo skillet was absolutely dynamite, pancakes were fluffy and indulgent, breakfast tacos were outstanding, and my eggs were perfectly softly scrambled. Even the bacon and sausage patties were delicious, which is a tall order considering it's not likely made in house. Lastly, as someone who drinks cold water like it's a hobby (#1), I'm especially grateful for the massive 32 oz cup of water, which is perfect for someone who drinks like a camel. The staff is not the quickest but they are friendly. Spanish may go further with most and they're not the quickest when it comes to greeting folks or cleaning tables. The food is the star and consider paying in cash. ____________ (#1) I'm thirsty.

I wanted to start with one biscuit, but the biscuits come in pairs. The waitress said I could order just one anyway, but the order ended up being two. I meant to save the second one for breakfast, but that was not to be. It did not survive long enough to make it out the door. My actual meal was a bacon swiss and mushroom burger, which was excellent. Between the biscuits and the burger, I am forced to acknowledge that it was entirely too much food. Sadly, that did not prevent me from eating all of it anyway. Delicious! The restaurant, which is a diner with very basic decor, is on an approach road to IAH, and is open 24/7. When I arrived in the evening, the place was empty. By the time I left, there were a whole bunch of customers. I noticed in other reviews that people were saying they did not receive checks for their meal and felt they were over-charged at the register. I did not receive a check either, but the amount I was charged at the register seemed accurate -- and I was paying attention because I had read the other reviews first.

Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
