Donut & Kolache Express

This place is awesome! My 3 year old daughter and I have been to MANY donut shops in the last few weeks. We made it «our thing» while her older sister is in school.
They have nice sized regular donuts, savory & fruit kolaches, breakfast tacos and they have MINI DONUTS AND KOLACHES. TINY, ADORABLE DONUTS. Perfect for my kid and I liked that I could get several different flavored ones for very cheap, including a mini apple fritter and mini cinnamon roll donut! I noticed they make peach fritters as well as apple, that’s kind of rare to see. Nicely stuffed breakfast tacos as well. Very clean facility and the family that owns it is super friendly and made us feel like we found a little treasure; they gave my little girl a few free donut holes! So sweet! Everything we ate was delicious; the potato/​egg/​cheese kolache is my new food addiction. There are live potted plants that add to the good vibes inside AND this cool model train that runs on a track in the ceiling. I love that they’ve obviously put a lot of thought into the interior, it makes it feel more homely and welcoming.
It’s located in a large shopping complex at Research and Anderson Mill, super easy to find and get to and it’s totally worth the stop. Give yourself extra time in the morning on your commute if you can and stop at this place for breakfast. Definitely bring your kids here. Take some mini-​donuts to work with you and become popular! :D

I went here about 11 am today because my breakfast wasn’t cutting it. I got a couple minis which I thought was cool. The drive through wasn’t busy considering the time and so I was served promptly.
The dough was good and not soggy (they warmed them up) and I didn’t get a ton of grease. The meat was just as they state on the sign Eckrich. It wasn’t much to it and the taste was fine. I’m sure I’ll visit again so for now the review is a middle of the road one.

Ordered 30 Kolaches for a work even the next morning — The owner baked them to be ready by the time specified, so they were fresh and warm… even after I showed up 20 minutes late to pick them up. The owner is really nice and accommodating. These Kolaches were enormous — what a great value!

Hame + Cheese
Bacon Egg Cheese
Jumbo Cheese Sausage + Jalepeno
All delicious!

My favorite donut place! They have a drive-​thru — which is super convenient — the donuts are delicious (I like the old-​fashioned and the apple fritter) and the people who work here are always friendly.

Cravings of a poppy seed and/​or Apricot kolache had me searching the area who was closest and had them. This place hit my radar so off I went on a late morning. Bad choice. Most of the selection was picked over. The only kolaches they had left were sausage. Large sausage had cheese in them, I passed. So I got two mini sausage kolaches. They weren’t bad but didn’t satisfy my craving.
The store is small with two display cases. The man behind the counter who may have been the owner was so sweet. The prices are extremely reasonable. I will have to stop by again to try their fruit kolaches.

So I came here to get my daughters donuts and the lady wiped her nose as if it was runny with her bare hand. I asked her to use hand sanitizer and clean her hands before she took my order she got mad and offended and said they already do that. I said well you need to so it again or I won’t order. She got mad and walked to the back refused and sent someone else so we left. Never again.

Okay, this is interesting. I stopped in while waiting on my car next door, and found not only a variety of donuts, but breakfast tacos and kolaches.
To me, having lived in Texas awhile, a kolache is a hot dog in a white roll, and not something I would consume. But then I noticed they have egg, cheese, and potato kolaches, plus kolaches with a variety of fillings that look like breakfast tacos. What?
So I ordered an egg and cheese veggie kolache, which also has bits of green pepper, in addition to my peach fritter. And it’s delicious! This could be lunch.
They serve Community coffee here, like a diner, but it’s light roast and decent, and the food is good. The dining room is small, clean and cute with mid-​century décor and a serious number of plants. A little red train circles overhead. Seriously. Just like Mr Roger’s Neighborhood. The folks are nice, too.
This is way better than smelling tires while I wait. And they have a drive-​through, in case you’re in a hurry.

Really good kolaches and donuts, but don’t expect to be surprised. It’s exactly what you’re expecting! Yummy and fast. Also – cheap!

The owners are so sweet and the food tastes great. I usually get big orders to take to my work and my team LOVES them.
Go for the sausage and cheese kolaches. Trust me.

The owners’ greet you and engage. Dive thru /​walk in you always receive a smile. Kolaches or donuts you will be delighted!!! Delicious! Freshest coffee in North Austin. Enjoy!!!

I was over at Starbucks getting a coffee, suddenly major craving for donuts. I quickly searched donut shop near my location AND guess what I found.
Donut & Kolache Express. Honestly I didn’t even read beyond Donut.
Walked in & saw «Kolache» on the menu. Not knowing what it is but sounds good «egg, potato & sausage» Kolache. I posted a picture of left Kolache picture.
OMG! it was delicious!
Very delicate & not greasy at all.
Highly recommend this delicious stuffed Kolache for breakfast instead of breakfast Taco. (believe it or not, they sell breakfast taco too)
Other Unilocalers gave so many positive reviews & wonder why!
Unfortunately I went in for donuts but walk out with different kind of Kolache. Well, feel guilty leaving without donut, order some donut holes & oh my… it was amazing donuts too!
The problem is… I live in Dallas. :(

Finally, a good donut.
The glazed were SO GOOD. I also got a ham and cheese colache. I thought it was good, but not great. The coffee was hot and the drive through makes for a quick and easy stop.
The donuts were fresh and though not huge, seemed reasonable for the price.
I would go back

My roommate, boyfriend, and I go here every Saturday. It really is the best donut shop in north Austin. I wish I could give it five stars because the owners are super friendly, we always get some freebies, and she always remembers my boyfriend wants a cup of ice with his Gatorade, but these aren’t the best I’ve ever had. They are consistent and very good but no one can make my mouth water like KC’s donut holes in South Austin.

This hidden gem in Northwest Austin has been my family’s go to morning place for donuts and Kolaches. They have the freshest donuts with a huge variety, an apple fritter to die for, and their egg-​stuffed kolaches are fantastic. As great as their food is, their customer service is even better. I cannot highly recommend this place enough and writing this review only makes me want to go.

My 15 year old son turned the whole family onto the little locally owned neighborhood gem. Very clean. Friendly fast service. Always fresh. Always bonus free donuts. The cherry fritters are delicious and look like beautiful flowers. The apple fritters have just enough light crisp. We love the blueberry cake donuts too. Even the variety of kolaches I’ve tried have all been tasty. They serve Community Coffee.

Love the selection. Friendly staff! Sometimes I even get a freebie! I would come back regardless of the freebies.

KOLACHE REVIEW: This place seems to have undergone a renovation, or a change of management, or both. It is basically like any other donut and kolache shop I’ve ever seen – the only difference betwixt being the cleanliness of the joint. This one is immaculate. A good start.
I saw a nice variety of kolaches, even at noon. Another plus. (That’s an entire star, in Shooey’s Unilocal-​world. I sleep late.) I ordered a egg, cheese and bacon kolache, which was very good. A big size, too. The bacon inside was a bit meager, but OK. Nice, fluffy and hot. The next item I ordered was upon second glance, was not listed as a kolache, but as a «sausage roll» I saw ‘beef’ and immediately thought I’d be getting some new, cool ground beef kinda pastry thingie, with a seasoned ground beef mix inside, or maybe something akin to the legendary meatball kolache that Tony B spoke of. But, alas, it was a (presumably) all-​beef hotdog. Tasty, yes, but merely a fancy pig-​in-​a-​blanket. The sweet lady did throw in a bonus donut (a bonut?) which always nudges up the star count. This is a solid four. A kolache/​donut place really has to blow me away to garner a fiver. This is a very nice joint, in Shooey’s Golden Radius, and exceptionally clean. Like the TUH-​MINATOR, «Come with me if you wanna live…» No, wait– «I’ll be bahk.» Yeah, that’s it.

The customer service is great and the food is equally good! I can’t say that they are the best kolaches I’ve ever had (I’m Czech!) but these guys do a great job.

We had a regular glazed donut, powder sugar donut, a ham/​egg/​cheese croissant, and a jumbo sausage/​cheese kolache. The donuts tasted fresh and not super sweet. Just the way we like it. The croissant is huge comparing with Blue Bakery and about half the cost. According to my wife, the croissant taste very similar as the ones she has in Taiwan. Huge plus from her! The kolache is just so-​so to me. Since we «dine» in, the owner gave us some donut holes for free. Let me tell you. Their donuts holes are EXCELLENT! Better than Krispy Kreme. Better than any donut hole I’ve ever had.
If you ever come here, order some donut holes, and some of their fresh donuts. If you are here in the morning, grab one of their croissants. You can thank me later. :-)

Donut & Kolache Express has taken over the old Golden Chick location behind La Tapatia near 183/​Anderson Mill. My husband and I stopped in on Saturday after dropping our car off at Discount Tire and were wowed by the variety of donuts (sprinkled, filled, etc), kolaches (fruit and meat), breakfast tacos, drinks, etc. They seem to do it all! I had a jumbo sausage and cheese kolache, which was really tasty, and my husband had some donuts (apple fritters) which he also enjoyed. They have sodas, juices, and milks to drink. The employees (owners?) were very friendly and patient as we started blankly at the cases and the menu board trying to figure out what we wanted. We may find ourselves here more often than our waistlines would like…
