Rave reviews from other people were a reason to try the local kalachi. There was no one in the small room except a young saleswoman during the day on a weekday. It was not expected that you would want to spend time or eat baked goods “to go.” I also saw several thermoses with ready-made coffee - not my thing. I'm usually looking for a place where I can have a good time with freshly brewed coffee and delicious pastries. And so, kolaches are round buns with a variety of protein fillings inside (about $4) and several options with fruit jam such as cheesecakes. My choice fell on Philly Cheese Steak (I asked for it to be heated). The filling was wonderful and the dough had a pre-cooked feel to it. It was viscous (gluten?) and stuck to my teeth. This is probably what the manufacturer intended, otherwise they need to be baked at home in the oven. I will do the same with the remaining two buns, which were carefully packed in a paper bag.Parking: Parking is convenient, it's easy to find a free space during the day.

Rude customer service. They dont say hello welcome, at least, after I myself said good morning to AJ the cashier. She had an attitude towards other customers and myself. Other Kolache stores have been super nice and

Kolache Factory Review: A Heartwarming Breakfast ExperienceDate Visited: December 16, 2023Location: Huntington Beach, CAAs a casual diner with a fondness for discovering unique culinary experiences, my visit to the Kolache Factory in Huntington Beach was nothing short of delightful. Growing up with kolaches as a holiday treat, finding this rare gem on the west coast, just a 30-minute drive away, was exhilarating.First Impressions:The Kolache Factory greets you with a warm, inviting, and small yet cozy atmosphere. The energy is casual and vibrant, with a hint of nostalgia for me. The staff's extremely helpful and personable attitude added to the homely feel of the place.The Culinary Experience:For breakfast, I decided to indulge in an Egg & Sausage kolache and an Egg & Ham kolache, accompanied by a large coffee. The kolaches were a delightful reminder of childhood - soft, warm, and filled with well-seasoned, savory ingredients. The coffee was good, though the experience was slightly marred by being burned by the large hole in the lid, which I believe could use a redesign for safety.Service and Staff:The service was notably fast; my order was ready within 1-2 minutes. The staff's efficiency was impressive, reflecting the well-staffed nature of the restaurant. Their friendly demeanor made the short wait enjoyable.Ambiance and Amenities:The restaurant's ambiance was energetic yet casual, perfect for a quick, comforting breakfast. It had gender-neutral, spotlessly clean bathrooms, adding to the overall positive experience. However, they could consider adding tap-to-pay options for convenience.Menu Variety:The Kolache Factory boasts a very diverse menu, with each item looking more tempting than the last. Although I'm not certain about their offerings for special diets, the variety was commendable.Value and Accessibility:The pricing was reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. The restaurant's location was convenient, with easy parking - a big plus in a busy city.Final Verdict:Would I visit the Kolache Factory again? Absolutely, without a second thought. It's not just about the food; it's the entire experience - a rare find where every bite takes you on a nostalgic journey. This is a must-visit spot for anyone in Huntington Beach looking for a unique breakfast option or a taste of Eastern European cuisine.The Kolache Factory stands as a testament to the joy of simple, well-made food served with warmth and a smile. It's a reminder of the small joys in life - a place where food is not just nourishment but a celebration of culture and memories.(Attached are photos of my delightful breakfast, capturing the essence of my experience.)

3.5 - bumped to 4 bc great service and I may have ordered wrong?Got 6:Sausage- hot dog in bread- not for me Chicken enchilada- by far the best I triedJalapeño popper-meh. Sausage gravy- "pretty good" according to hubbyBbq beef- - like a charsu bao according to hubby (jealous)Italian chicken- goodOverall quick and easy, good serviceOrdered at 11am , heated at home and consumed at 7pmThey took the time to label the inside of the box, as each bun is not distinguishable from the outside.I guess we read the diagram wrong, bc each thing we tried did not coincide with the interior.I'm thinking this is a good breakfast spot- I suggest trying the stuff with the egg. Prolly won't return, but if I worked locally I would for sure hit them up for a quick and clean breakfast

I recently visited the Kolache Factory and was thoroughly impressed by their offerings. Whether you're in a rush or have the leisure to savor your meal, this place caters to all paces of life. Their handmade kolaches are a modern twist on a European classic, striking a perfect balance between sweet and savory. I tried a few pastries filled with an appetizing blend of cheese, fruit, and sausage, each paying a delightful homage to traditional kolache-making.What stood out to me was the freshness of their ingredients. It's evident that their master bakers put in effort and skill into making the dough every day. Alongside the kolaches, they also offer artisan croissants and muffins which are a great complement to their fresh-brewed coffee from Katz - a perfect start to the morning!Dining there felt versatile - it was as suitable for a family meal as it was for a casual meet-up with co-workers or even a solo treat. The pastries appealed to a range of palates, and I found something for everyone in my group. For those planning larger gatherings, their dinner rolls and party trays are a must-try and seem ideal for catering events.A small heads-up, their kolaches do take some time to prepare. I recommend ordering ahead at kolachefactorytogo.com to save time. This minor wait is a small price for the quality and taste you get. A solid 4 stars for Kolache Factory - their dedication to quality and tradition shines through in every bite!

Great quick place to pick up breakfast or a snack. They are bread filled sweet or savory fillings. I ordered the bbq brisket, Philly cheesesteak, egg potato and cheese, and their flavor of the month - turkey and gravy. The portion isn't enough to fill you up if you're super hungry but it's a tasty snack. Parking can be a bit busy during heavy traffic hours but I usually get lucky finding a spot early in the morning. Customer service could use some work. I asked if a croissant filled kolache was popular and all I got in response was an, "I guess so." Then I ordered a sausage and gravy, when I got home and bit into it, it was a sausage, egg and cheese bun. Still delicious though but I had my tastebuds set on gravy. They'll ask if you want your food heated and if you say yes, just know that the outdid bread is still warm but the inside filling is not.
I've been wanting to try this place for awhile! It doesn't disappoint, but is quite expensive. I really liked the Philly Cheese Steak and the Texas Hot Polish Sausage ones! Those are my favorite ones. The soft and pillowy dough bread and seasoned meat fillings were great combinations. So delicious! I got a dozen (a mix of all of them) and it was just about $57? Service was great. They warm the pastries up for you! The workers were friendly and guided me through the process patiently as it was my first time. I'd come back to try new flavors and the new monthly ones.

I love this place. I've been so happy since they opened this location since it's the closest one to me. I drive around while I'm at work so these Kolaches are great to eat while driving. The jalapeño popper is my favorite flavor but I also like the sausage and gravy, Ranchero, bacon egg and cheese, and chorizo egg and cheese as my favorites.Parking: The parking lot isn't very big but I've never had trouble finding a spot any time I've been here

Not something I normally eat, I had to google Kolache: a staple of Czech culture, sweetened yeast dough hollowed out in the center with fillings; baked not fried.This place had a variety from apple filling to pizza, eggs+bacon, sausage, cheeseburger, Philly cheesesteak, brisket, etc. Easy parking. Service was friendly and patient with me. (I had many questions about the kolache and was taking pictures) We ordered several kinds and the cinnamon roll. They will ask if you would like them warmed up. (YES please!) Myself and family enjoyed them. Bread is soft, fillings are tasty. I can imagine taking a few on the go for a filling hiking snack, picnic on the beach, unmessy work lunch quick bites. I think I may order a few dozen for a family party :)

This place is a hidden gem in Huntington Beach. Located in a tiny strip center at the southeast corner of Bolsa and Edwards, it serves up some of the most delicious treats around. A 'kolache' is a slightly sweet bread roll filled with sweet or savory fillings. They are perfect for parties or grab-n-go meals....no mess and no utensils needed. Their fillings are amazing...the BBQ brisket and Italian chicken are my two favorites, and the pepperoni pizza is sure to please the kiddos. The traditional sweet kolaches are wonderful- peach and apple are my favorites. The breakfast egg kolaches are way better than fast-food breakfast biscuits, too. Two of these fill you up quick! Ordering online is easy and their service is always prompt. The only downside is they are only open until 2pm, so order early and have them later. A quick 30-second heat in the microwave. The trays are absolutely perfect for parties. My family and friends love their food...I wish there was a location closer to downtown!! Give them a try...you won't be sorry! In fact, you'll be hooked!Kid-friendliness: So easy for kids to hold and eat with their hands! No mess!
