Kolache Factory

The Kolache Factory is on my short list of places you should visit in Saint Louis, though after a visit, you’ll probably be coming back for more. The restaurant makes a variety of Kolaches, delicious rolls filled with anything you can imagine.
If you’re looking for a menu recommendation, today I went for the St. Louis Slinger, Ranchero (my favorite), and Buffalo Chicken kolaches. The slinger was a bit underwhelming, but the Ranchero and Buffalo Chicken were both fantastic, as I’ve come to expect from the Kolache factory.
If you’ve never been, give it a try!

Staff was super friendly. It was affordable and tasty. I had one meatball and one pepperoni stuffed Kolache. There seemed to be a variety and breakfast options too. I’m a big eater and although they filled me, I was hungry again a short time later. I should have had more than two if I were looking to replace a meal.

I stopped at The Kolache Factory at about 10 am on a Wednesday after I left my dentist who is right near there. I hadn’t eaten breakfast and I wanted something but not a huge meal. I got a cup of hot tea and a bacon, egg, and cheese kolache. It was good. I’m not quite sure I get why people love kolache in general but it is kind of satisfying every now and then. I’m not the biggest fan of white bread and the kolache is in basically a dinner roll. The filling had a nice flavor though and it’s a quick and portable breakfast. It hit the spot.

I had the sausage, cheese, and jalapeño kolache, which was delicious. Also had a bbq, and a sausage and gravy, both of which were average. I’d stick with the normal sausage kolaches.
Seemed a tad pricey — 3 normal-​sized kolaches came to $ 8.

I seriously cannot understand all the positive reviews on this place. Firstly, the place smells terrible when you walk in. It literally smells like a disgusting dish cloth that has been sitting out for months. Now, maybe I would forgive that if the food was up to par. Its not. As a point of reference, the Philly cheesesteak is a ball of lunch meat stuffed into a roll. I honestly cannot believe that people eat these.

Friendly staff, has more of a fast food feel, parking was kind of a hassle. We ordered a dozen got a few of each (the fruit ones, bacon and egg, cream cheese) I’ll say they were pretty decent until I bit into the bacon cream cheese jalapeño! Hands down one of the best!

Everything is great here. My favorite thing to do is to get a box or 12, all different flavors, take them to a brunch party, and have everyone play Kolache Roulette! You don’t know what you’ll get, and none of them will explode or anything if you choose the wrong one :), and it’s just a lot of fun!

Who doesn’t love Kolache’s? Kolache Factory has all kinds of different flavors of Kolaches. My favorites are Sausage Egg & Cheese and Sausage & Gravy. But they also have special flavors for each month, so there’s something new every time you visit!
This location is a little worn down, but the service and food is still great!

Tried this place out for the first time. Never had kolaches before but dang these are good for breakfast. Not expensive either! Like between $ 1.75 and $ 3 per kolache. They all tasted very good. Would go again.

We love the Kolache factory. It’s so nice to get something that isn’t sugary, but they have sweet kolaches also. The sausage and gravy is my favorite. For those of you who have never had one, a Kolache is a roll with different type of fillings. I’ve only had breakfast ones, but they have lunch also.

After having these pastries all my life from my Grandma and Mom.
I can say that this is not what I thought it would be.
I was not happy with the taste and this is not what I was raise on from my European ancestors
So if you want the real thing make them at home.

Picked up an order for breakfast on a road trip. Staff was friendly. Order was ready quickly. Price point not bad anywhere from a $ 1.79 and up. I suggest the sausage egg & cheese. Lifetime customer.

I never knew STL had a kolache factory until a few years ago when one of my colleagues had brought some for the entire firm. At first I was very shocked and surprised because I’ve only had kolache’s in Texas! I tried the ones here, they were just average. I was expecting OMG WOW! Like the ones I’m Texas! I had tried the bacon and cheese, the jalapeño, and pepperoni. I didn’t care for them as much as I thought I would. They were deff. super doughy. I was expecting them to be lite and filled with lots of filling, but they seem to skimp on the filling a bit. Maybe I’m being a little too picky with this review, because everything is much better (food wise) in Texas! Maybe I’ve been spoiled by the kolache factory down south. I’ll deff. try this place again but not in a big hurry. PS their hours kinda stink

I found what they had on offer way too doughy and heavy. I also didn’t appreciate the microwave on the counter was used to re-​heat *everything*. This place offers a complete novelty but I really don’t know how Texans would eat this everyday! Surely they have competition in the Kolache world over there and this establishment here is simply getting one over on us :)

Whoever called these puppies light was sorely mistaken! Thinking that these were small light treats, I purchased three… And nearly fell over when the guy handed me my bag! These things are heavy. One or two is more than enough to leave you full all morning.
The dough is mildly sweet, like a less sweet but more dense version of Korean buns. The fillings I tried were very good. They made a great breakfast on the go.
Beware of how quickly the calories add up here, however! Kolache factory’s nutrition information is available online, and I highly recommend you take a peek at it before stopping by! 3 of these tiny buns (depending on the filling) are almost the equivalent of 4 dollar menu burgers at McDonald’s, for instance. Delicious kolaches, but the health conscious should beware!

I had driven past this place dozens of times and never knew what a Kolache was. (I guessed it must be some fancy brand of coffee). About 2 months ago someone brought a box of these kolaches to my office and I tried one. They are not coffee although the Kolache Factory does serve coffee. No. These little things are sweet bread rolls filled with a variety of different things from meats and cheeses to fruit and cream cheese.
I stopped in for the first time today for a quick breakfast on the run. The girl who helped us was super friendly as soon as we walked in the door, explaining the menu and helping us make selections. My daughter and her friend absolutely loved the Cinnamon Roll and I had a Ranchero and Sausage Egg and Cheese. They were both amazing. If you want to try something different for breakfast stop in here. If you ever buy breakfast for a group, these little flavor bombs are sure to be a crowd pleaser!

I have driven by this place for years and never stopped in. I have seen coupons in the Entertainment Book and still never stopped by. Well, I finally stopped by and I can say this. YUM!!!
These little balls of flavor a deceptively filling and full of wonderful tastes. The following are my favorites. I ate 12 of them in one sitting… that’s not something I would recommend, but they are so good I can see it happening.
1. Sausage and gravy — Simply wonderful, my personal favorite.
2. Pepperoni pizza — Wonderful, and a close second to my fav.
3. Bacon, cheese and egg — Delicious, and a great breakfast choice.
4. Philly cheese — Another great pick.
5. Pulled BBQ pork — Just amazing.
There are so many others, you just have to try them all. Do yourself a favor and stop driving by wondering. This is worth a visit. Especially if you have an E Book.

Good Kolaches and good coffee. Friendly staff. This would be the part where I would write something sarcastic or ridiculous but I can’t think of anything.

I’d never been to The Kolache Factory before today, I’d only ever heard stories from my husband who has enjoyed the place on his many trips to Texas.
This wasn’t our first choice for lunch, but seeing as it was a holiday many things in the area were closed. The second we saw this place, my husband went nuts. I was skeptical at best. I ordered two Kolaches, one ham and cheese and one pepperoni. But we’re delicious! How do they pack so much goodness into those perfectly delectable buns?!
Just as we were about to leave, they pulled the cream cheese Kolaches out of the over, my husbands favorites. We grab two and took them to go, I wasn’t disappointed! Slightly sweet and totally yummy. Go there, eat them.

For the better part of at least a year, I wondered whether or not this business was open. Driving through Brentwood only in the later afternoons and evenings, the shop always appeared closed and I never quite understood why until I received a coupon for 3 free kolache: they close after lunch every day.
As an on-​the-​go meal solution, the kolach is great (think of it like a Hot Pocket… except classier and with less potential to unexpectedly break, spilling its contents). The morning I stopped by, there were at least a dozen varieties available, each stuffed with a combination of meats, cheese and vegetables. There were also fruit and cream-​cheese topped kolache. You can get an idea of the flavors via their website, but most are self-​explanatory from the labels in the shop (the Bacon & Cheese, for instance, is stuffed with Bacon and Cheese…).
Comparisons to Dunkin’ Donuts (in layout/​display) are more than fair; the kolache are lined up on labeled bakery trays arrayed behind the counter and there are a few tables, but not many (half of the utility of these things is the ability to consume them with one hand while on the way to somewhere else, right?). Coffee is also available and the counter service is relatively quick.
Others have commented on the gentle sweetness of the bread and I agree. The hot polish and pepperoni pizza options were both good (especially since they can be served warm, just ask), as were the cream cheese topped ones, though none of these do I expect to crave.
