Karma Kolache & Dessert University Drive
980 University Dr E #300, Bryan, TX
Crema's Take
“This Bryan institution has mastered the art of the kolache, a Central European pastry that locals can't stop raving about, with creative fillings like butter chicken and brisket alongside classic sweet options like strawberry cream cheese. The inviting, immaculately decorated space draws families and game-day crowds alike, who come back repeatedly for the impressive variety of house-made pastries—including their signature kronut holes (the croissant-donut hybrid that's stolen hearts) and buttery apple fritters. With consistently fast, friendly service and a stellar 4.8-star reputation, this is where Bryan goes when breakfast and pastries matter.”

We had breakfast at Karma Kolaches and absolutely loved it. The place is beautiful, very well decorated, and extremely clean. The food was delicious:one of the best breakfast spots I’ve ever been to. We came all the way from Houston to the city, and this place was truly worth it. The service was amazing; the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. They even gifted our son some desserts because he was in town for a tournament, so he could try them and they were excellent! Outstanding service and an overall wonderful experience. I highly recommend this place for breakfast.
Went today to pick up kolaches and left with all of this! I heard the lady in front of me order kronut holes so I tried them and they were amazing! Fast, friendly service was the cherry on top of today’s visit!
Two games day weekends and two visits to Karma. First time I sent a group in and half were jealous they didn't go in. This time everyone had their orders ready. The apple fritter was great, the sausage rolls were amazing, and the donuts were on point. I look forward to coming back and trying the egg buns and fruit kolache.
So many unique menu items, so many choices to choose from! They had croissants, kolaches, donuts, and so many more pastries! I got the butter chicken kolache (for the second time), and im really impressed that the flavor is consistent across stores. For a butter chicken filling, it is not too spicy or heavy, with a subtle sweetness that complements the taste very well. My family also ordered the spicy sausage kolache, ham and cheese croissant, chicken spinach feta pastry, the cream cheese jalapeño kolache, and the kroscuit sandwich. We also ended up getting the kronut holes too, which were really good paired with the coffee. I really love walking into the store in the morning with the amount of friendliness we received from the staff. They also offered to warm up all of our kolaches and pastries! This is my second time at Karma Kolache, and it won't be my last!
We tried out the following items from their menu: Brisket, Boudin, Bacon Egg & Cheese, Potato Egg Spinach and Cheese, Strawberry Cream Cheese Croissant, Kronut Holes (croissant & donut mix), Apricot Danish, and Iced Latte with cookie butter flavor. Hands down the best kolaches l've ever had, and I highly recommend the brisket and boudin kolache! The iced coffee had the perfect sweetness (not too bitter or overly sweet) and the cookie butter flavor was pretty good, too. The atmosphere was calm and friendly, the kolaches were affordable, and the owner is simply a sweet person. I cannot recommend this place enough, give this place a try!!
