Kolache Republic Café & Bakery Review

Quick, affordable and delicious. My favorite breakfast place in town hands down. You can get a Kielbasa Kolache and a coffee for around $5 and it is very satisfying.

I went last year and it was amazing. Tried to go back today only to find out that they are no longer open and the store front is now for Dough Mama or something like that. Very upset, this place was bomb.

This place is a wonderful find.. breakfast items were filled full.. the sweet kolaches were less filled but very delicious non the less. The dough was light and buttery worth it to make the trip.

The Cheese, Blueberry and Apple Kolache were delicious!!! : )

This place is Grandma Good. I have fond memories of eating fresh kolaches made by Czech grandmothers in Snook when I was at Texas A&M. And then there was the Kolache Festival in Caldwell.... I have never had as good a kolache since then till I found this place.

Everything on the menu is great, savory kolaches and sweet kolaches, delicious.

Love this place! Think a cross between a doughnut and a sweet roll. Highly recommend getting a sweet cream or strawberry. Brioso coffee as well.

My go-to Saturday brunch spot. The kolaches are so flavorful and filling. Seriously- buy a savory and (multiple) sweet kolache and save the sweet for later :)

Their savory kolaches (filled with meats &/or cheeses) were pretty good. Their sweet kolaches are basically a topping or filling spread on top of a dinner roll.

Amazing breakfast. Just like we used to have homemade back up in Cleveland. I highly recommend. The bacon breakfast one is simply amazing!

So i work very close to here, and was so tired of wendys and other "quick food" for lunch. I went here for the first time and i would recommend it to anyone. the breakfast, lunch and desert Kolaches are all awesome. (couldnt help trying all three ) . and good coffee too. I think the owner said they serve cafe brio java.

Sooooo yummy! I love the Kielbasa, Cheddar, and Jalapeno!

Friendly and fun alternative for breakfast and lunch. The kolaches are delicious!

Drove in from the burbs to try this place. Amazing!

I've eaten here four times over the last 18 months. I really liked it the first time but less since then. I think it's overpriced for what's being offered. The sweet kolaches are small with skimpy fillings and the savory one's are ok but not something, I crave. Overall, I recommend anyone to try it once but it's not something I plan to keep coming back to. It might be your thing, it's just not mine.

Delicious....not a run of the mill place, love visiting restaurants the locals enjoy.

Such a fun spot, great to snag a quick to-go breakfast. We loved our kolaches, and will definitely be back!

Pretty cool place! Fast, courteous service. Tasty food! Mostly locally sourced. :)

Homemade baked breakfasts and lunches. Pretty tasty.

If you haven't heard of kolaches, I pity you. Literally the best breakfast food that is replacing donuts across southeast Texas and Louisiana

My family and i was very happy for Kolache Republic.your Service was very fast . coffee was very great!!!!

If you haven't been here yet, put it on your list! <3

SO SO great! Not only is it like a miracle to find kolaches outside of Texas, but they're amazingly delish too... Like on par, if not better, than those of the lone star state! Fun environment and kind people, too. Can't wait to go back for more!!

Kolache Republic is amazing. I heard that they may be closing. I hope that s not true.

This place is ridiculously awesome and everything is great. Feel free to go hard and order an extra or two, just to try a variety. Don t overlook the iced coffee, either. It s rocket fuel in the most delicious way possible.

This is my submission for a new group in the food pyramid. Sweet and savory all at the same time.

I recommend the kielbasa. This was my first visit... I ll definitely be back with friends!

Very cute place. Not a lot of room for large parties, but food that will definitely make you happy.

Have to go back and try some of the other items on the menu!

Soooo good! Can't wait to go back. We each had one savory and one sweet kolashe and loved both.

Was there a few years ago. Still craving for their kolache. The best I've had yet. When are you all coming to Texas. Best customer service as well.

Very tasty pastries and wonderful gravy and biscuit

There are a fewvtanles socially distanced. The staff wear appropriate gear. There is a shield between staff and customer. Customers need to limit the number entering at one time

Food is very good. $5 for a breakfast kolache seems a little high but I understand because I'm sure they don't get good customer flow.

Strong coffee, delicious housemade Kolache's, especially considering I had no idea what a kolache was before I had one here. Staff was very friendly and helpful regarding information about the food.

Service is quick and friendly. The staff is always good for a little small talk.

Wonderful breakfast sandwiches here... Yum yum. Homemade is always best!!

This and a cappuccino are the best way to wake up in the early noon.

Great little coffee spot to catch some pastries and a good cup of coffee. The staff is kind and the the atmosphere is perfect.

Cozy diner style cafe. Fast service and a nice place to chill with friends for breakfast/brunch after yoga.

This place is fantastic. I never would have known what I was missing out on if I didn't visit during a Columbus food tour.

My favorite breakfast in Columbus. Terrific coffee too!

Didn't have time for an extended breakfast, and options for quick in German Village are extremely limited. Luckily for me, I stumbled in the door at Kolache Republic. The service was fast, affordable, and most importantly, the breakfast kolache I received was delicious. The guy working there was so nice that he even threw in a blueberry sweet cheese kolache on the house, which was also incredible. Safe to say I'll be keeping an extra five minutes in the morning to frequent Kolache Republic!

I was so excited to find a place that sold kolaches in Columbus after falling in love with them on a trip to Texas. The amazing assorted varieties sold here, made fresh every morning, bring me back every time I step inside. With a cozy indoor seating area, the place is a local gem that cranks out delicious seasonal kolaches (I'd fight someone for the lemon poppyseed) and mouth watering classics, like my all time favorite egg, chorizo, cheese and jalapeno.
Yes yes yes. Take a morning and check it out.

Big helpings. Delicious food. Reasonably fast. Wish prices were a little lower but quality is there to justify it.

A unique breakfast joint, serving kielbasa inside home made sweet bread. Don't forget to ask for the garlic dipping sauce. Their pastries are delicious and everything is decently priced.

A really nice place! I didn't know what to expect as I've never had a kolache before, but the staff was super helpful. The kolaches were delicious and pretty cheap!

Very rude staff. The guy working when I went in with so incredibly rude that I turned around and walked out. will never go back.

Friendly service, great kolaches and coffee!

I came here on a Monday morning and they had a nice selection of baked fresh kolaches. I had the sausage egg and cheese and also a blueberry sweet cream. These kolaches are perfect. Sometimes people make them way too dense but these were just right. Don t miss this place.

And the coffee is smooth! Not charred like some places!

I love kolaches. They have great kolaches. Easy win for me.

Awesome local cafe with amazing kolache. They bake them with traditional fillings, as well as new creations. A variety of other tasty breakfast treats are on offer too! Staff is super nice.

Came in looking for espresso. But the coffee was really good. The star of the show, though, are the kolaches. Almost every kind imaginable, including pistachio! I got a cheese (as in cheesecake) and a peach cobbler. Great bread - and delicious filling! Plus, when I was there, Kolache Republic was selling them for $1 apiece - until noon! I just wish I would have bought a dozen pr so to share!

My single favorite thing about Columbus. Delicious food, always perfectly baked breads. Doubt me? Try it. I'm not wrong.

I can't get enough of their Kolache. My only complaint is that they aren't open on Sunday's...

Czech style pastry with an American twist for breakfast as well as those classic true to the Czech culture.
Friendly staff and a quaint decor for a the morning or afternoon. They have a decent cold brew coffee.

Always a great experience. First class service and first class food. Last time in, they even included a complimentary cinnamon roll for our son due in 2 weeks. 10/10 stars, would recommend to anyone.

The Kolaches are So. Freaking. Good. It doesn't matter what flavor you pick, they are all wonderful.

I love unique foodie places in Columbus, and Kolache Republic is one of them! Delicious savory and sweet options - definitely something to try if you haven't already!

Excellent choice for a quick breakfast. Unique options.

Stopped in on a whim for a cheese sandwich. Not on the menu.

No Problem!

This is a Czech bakery-Texan sentiment cafe assimilation.

Made-to-order Mmmmmmm!

Had a perfect lunch to go - thick slices of slightly warm Swiss on a delicious, homemade white bun, mayo - $3.00!

Perfect for a wet, windy Spring day!

(They offer hot soups, too!)

Thanks, Kolache!

I've only had the coffee, but the service is always good.

You must try this place. Great variety of Kolaches

Delicious food that's unlike anything else you can find in Columbus. Their breakfast and daily specials will keep you coming back.

Super friendly, great service. Delicious kolaches, with some very unique flavors. My grandmother and mom always made kolaches at the holidays but almost exclusively apricot, sometimes raspberry. Can't bring myself to say they're better than mom's, but boy are they good.

Both the sweet and savory kolaches were fresh and mouth-wateringly good! Worth the drive from any part of Franklin County to try these for yourself. Comfort food at its finest.

Traditional Texas kolaches. Delicious!! Friendly staff and great service. Check it out...especially if you've ever had kolaches in Texas

Fantastic place to grab good fresh baked items, both sweet and savory! I adore the Kolache's with cheese and kielbasa and it can be finished off with a blueberry creme cheese danish/kolache item that's to die for. I recommend the iced coffee for a good drink!

Very Good, nice to have something new. Place was clean, staff was nice.

They were out of half their menu when I went there, but the patti melt I got was very flavorful and the sauce they gave with it was very good too.

Breakfast here is great! Jalapeno Kielbasa Kolache always hits the spot. The sweet ones are great. Lunch special can be hit/miss -- the pork belly was underwhelming but their Beirock is solid.
