Brooklyn Kolache

Brooklyn Kolache is great! The kolaches are really good (sweet cheese and lemon curd are my favorites) and the coffee is fantastic. The people who work here are always super friendly, too. The backyard is wonderful in nice weather.

My friend and I are originally from houston and currently living in Brooklyn. So we were of course super excited to try Kolache Brooklyn for a taste of food that reminded us of home. And Given that it is Mardi Gras season we were also seeking out Kolache Brooklyn to try their King Cake bites that we saw on TikTok. Unfortunately we had such a terrible experience we will not ever be stepping foot back in the cafe again. I arrived around 11:45 and attempted to order the Chaider (Seasonal Apple Cider Chai drink) advertised on the menu along with the Mardi Gras bites - only to be told they were sold out of both items for the day. Which was not only completely ridiculous but outright frustrating. I tried to order the Houston Style kolache and they were ALSO out of them. I proceeded to order a regular Sausage, Cheese, & Jalapeño kolache + Hibiscus tea - which I can at least say was pretty good. When my friend arrived at 12:20 we decided we would go elsewhere for King Cake but still wanted to grab more food. But by the time she got in line they were all sold out of ALL the kolaches with meat. All that was left was the Vegetarian kolaches - which again, were decent - but it was more of a Danish than it was a traditional Kolache. It is completely asinine that a place known for their KOLACHES is sold out of KOLACHES by 12pm on a Saturday. On top of all that, the staff rude and took 10 min to give me my second order of the Spinach and Cheese Kolache because they forgot about it. 3/10 experience. And the 3 is generous because the food that I did get to try was decent. Never going back.

I’m on a mission to find a decent matcha in the neighborhood and Brooklyn Kolache was my first stop. Unfortunately, they let me down. The baristas are nice and the Ube latte is quite good. The kolaches are good in theory but rarely hold up in reality due to their lack of flavor and fluffiness once they’re warmed up. Back to the matcha! I commend their effort to make homemade pistachio syrup and macadamia milk. However, if you’re going to make a matcha latte, please make sure there’s a healthy amount of matcha in it. Ended up with a $7 lukewarm cup of milk with a slight hint of matcha.

This quaint little bakery will definitely surprise you with just how flavorful their unique kolaches are! Not to mention the delicious coffee that pairs wonderfully with their pastries. Next time I visit I'll definitely have to try their savory kolaches!

I am happy that they have a location here. Besides the bread, their drinks are amazing too. I personally recommend their savory options a lot. 🍫☕️🥛Mocha is a YES! Super creamy with their housemade chocolate sauce. Coffee tasted good too. Coconut kolache was a solid one.ight not be impressive but a classic one.
