Kalaches

Kolaches in SF?! Have you been to legendary Czech Stop and wanted some in San Francisco too? Well, Kalaches doesn't come close to Czech Stop (a national treasure), but they still field some excellent kolaches! Kalaches has both sweet and savory kolaches, though their menu is in the middle of updating, probably due to just having opened a short while ago. I got a large amount to share between my Texas transplant friends and myself. The dough lacks sweetness compared to what you would find from a Texas store, and overall less salty for their savory kinds. The sausage is spot on with the type/style of sausage, being used in their "Texas style". Notably, the cheese is higher quality than what you would typically find, but I won't gripe about that. Other than that, Kalaches has nailed it really well with their kolaches! The price is steep, but that's to be expected in downtown SF. Out of all the kolaches I tried (strawberry, strawberry-nutella, sausage egg, sausage jalapeno, and the Texas style), the Texas style is a clear winner and what I would get next time I'm back. The Texas style was offered as spicy and non-spicy, and the spicy version was amazing! All were consistent with their dough being well made and having a good amount of filling. When I went, their online menu doesn't quite match up with their in-store offerings. They were also out of a few kolaches by noon (notably, there were neither any savory vegetarian nor cheese-free kolaches left available). The store is pretty small, catering for to-go, with minimal seating (outdoor + indoors) but service is quick as the staff is fast on getting the kolaches into boxes for you. Two display cases, one for savory and one for sweet. They were very kind with helping me place them into separate boxes for the multiple parties I was ordering for. One downside is the kolaches were cooler than I would have liked if I was to eat them immediately near the store, perhaps since I arrived around noon. However, they were fantastic after being heated in an oven for a short time. I'll definitely be back again to scratch my kolach itch!

Run don't walk! As a "texpat" I was very excited to try out Kalaches and their food did not disappoint! Great size plus they reheat well so I recommend picking up a box to enjoy over the course of a few days. They have both savory kolaches and sweet pastries too. I will be back!

This place was super good to run in and grab a quick bite. I’d never had a Kolache before and this hit the spot. They just opened and the couple running it are really nice. Healthy and made fresh daily 10/10 will come back

Wow these are DELICIOUS. I first stopped by during their grand opening—but wasn’t able to taste the Kolaches I grabbed since gave them to my partner, he gave them a 10/10. I had an appointment near by this morning and was able to pop in and finally taste them for myself! I grabbed the egg and cheese, veg breakfast, and the pumpkin peach—all absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to go back and grab a few more. They make a great breakfast or lunch!

Kolaches were awesome! Took a bunch for family, can’t believe they are finally in the Bay Area!

Delicious parties and heft filled buns. Interesting take on brunch. Support local business!

Coming from Texas these will hit the spot. Not quite Czech Stop, Dos Gatos, or Bucees level but you'll get the flavors you're looking for, even though they're at SF prices. Had the Texas Style, Bacon Egg and Cheese, and strawberry cream.

Just picked up eight kalaches today and they are all gone. Super delicious! You can either sit somewhere and eat it, or eat it on the go. Tastes awesome when it's warm! Great bites to eat alone or buy several to share different varieties. Service was very professional, friendly, efficient and they are the nicest people. Very patient with my questions as this is my first time eating Kalaches. Wished there were more venues closer to mid-peninsula! Had to drive 45 mins to try them and definitely worth the trip! The person who helped me was so kind! He was the epitome of service with a smile and gratitude!

Delicious hand-held brunch. Cute little spot and great service. - Texas Jalapeño 9/10 - Sausage, egg, and cheese 9/10 - Blueberry cream cheese: 9/10, loved the texture and that it wasn't too sweet Will definitely come back!

Savory and sweet kolaches [San Francisco CA] So excited to see a kolache bakery open in NorCal... these delightful traditional Czech pastries have finally arrived in the Bay Area! Yes, it's a 2-hour drive for me to San Francisco but at least not 6-hours. Until now I've only known about two Kolache Factory locations in SoCal (in Tustin and Huntington Beach). We were greeted by Robi, co-owner of the husband-and-wife duo. Very pleasant to talk to... gifted me some promotional items. This was only their first week open for business, grand opening Monday, Aug 18, 2025. Prices are on the high side. whoa! $6.75 for a kolache is pretty expensive compared to $4.90 in SoCal. I blame the San Francisco tax. At almost 10:30a options are sparse and almost out. I got the last of the Egg & Cheese, and hubby chose an Ham, Egg & Cheese flavor. The treats are a good size, fist-sized pastries. Interior is counter service. There are no seating inside so you will need to get it to go. The kolaches were warmed up for us which was delightfully delicious after our first, second, and third bites The business name is not a misspelling. "Kalaches" is a play on both the word "kolaches" and one of the owner's last name. I like it! Thank you to Cherylynn N who always finds the cool new places in the Bay Area! Review #3866

I've been craving a kolach for so long ever since the first time I've had one in SoCal. Finally one has opened close to home and I gotta say my cravings are satisfied. We only found out this places opened because of toogoodtogo and I'm glad we did. The kolach's were made perfectly and filled with flavor. In our bag we got three items and our favorite has to be the Texas. Everything is already made and displayed so you can be in and out quick. With a Peet's coffee right next door you can grab a coffee and enjoy your kolach outside.

Came here for a too good too go order as I've been wanting to try this place. And they did not disappoint. I got 4 Kalaches and they were delicious. All were spicy breakfast items. I will most definitely be coming back.

Texas transplants in the bay are probably going to go wild because... Grand opening today is Kalaches! I believe this is the first shop specializing in Kolaches in the bay. They took over Pizza Squared. Open for takeout only, no seating. For grand opening week, they have a different giveaway each day. Today is a free $15 gift card. They didn't have them available yet so they had customers write down their name and email. M E N U Savory and sweet kolaches. The sweet ones were not available at opening time. These baked goodies are Czech soft buns topped/filled with cream cheese + jam or filled with savory eggs and/or meats. Usually eaten for breakfast, they're a big thing in Texas. K A L A C H E Team Savory! * Sausage Jalapeño w/ egg & cheese ($7): https://tinyurl.com/ydu6tvmy Arrived at opening time so it was still warm. Golden brown exterior, soft Hawaiian roll texture with soft scrambled eggs, melty cheese, two slices of sausage and pickled jalapeño. Great savory flavor with a nice tangy heat and touch of sweetness from the dough. It was delicious but wish there was more sausage than two slices (menu pic shows sausage morsels). Also purchased 4 other savory kolaches (sausage & egg, bacon jalapeño, etc.) for others. There were no prices on the menu so I was surprised when being rung up that these were $7 each. I know it's the city but IMHO, that's quite steep for the amount of meat included. Overall, Kalaches is a welcome addition to the city and a nice spot for a quick, hot breakfast.

I just got back from Kalaches on their grand opening day! I realized that I missed out on their $15 gift certificate for folks on the first day! In this visit, I got the Veggie Omelet for lunch and it was $7 . It was savory and the crust itself had the sweetness of a croissant. Although it was a bit pricey, I feel it was a fair value given it was full of veggies and filling and most likely made fresh everyday! The Kolache is a staple in Czech and reminds me of a Piroshki , which were all over when we lived in Seattle and popularized by Piroshky Piroshky. The staff were friendly and mentioned they had done this concept in Texas . Hope to see their success here and they should take a playbook from the aforementioned and do the same for Korache in SF!

Kalaches: Came here early, a bit after 7am and you'll be greeted by owner- Robi Inside you'll find a 2 display case, 1 savory and 1 sweet. The savory display case has many varieties and I opted for Sausage, Egg & Cheese ($6.75). You can ask to get it warmed up but I ate it as-is which is still fresh & warm. I was surprised when biting into this! It was soft, warm & simply delicious! Also, this kalache is shockingly heavy for its size. The filling is great & the ingredients are delicious! This is definitely a great spot for on-the-go breakfast! I definitely recommend a visit to try & you'll probably come back for more!

First time here! I recently ordered the pepperoni pizza from the savory menu, and it was very tasty! The dough had a delightful sweetness that perfectly complemented the savory saltiness of the pepperoni. My only wish is that there had been a bit more cheese, but overall, it was a delicious. The style of these reminded me of zombies--unique and full of flavor! Great customer service, and the store was clean and well-maintained.

We were excited to try kolaches for the first time, a friend of mine from Texas recommended it and it didn't disappoint at all! Took many for family and friends and they loved it as well, finally a fresh baked Kolache spot in San Francisco!!!

My girlfriend introduced me to kolaches when I visited Texas. Got so pumped when I found out a kolache place would be opening in the city! It's really delicious. The people running it are really kind. Picked up the sausage, jalapeno, egg and cheese along with ham egg and cheese! Will come back here again!

I've tried this place twice now and everything has been tasty. The Chicken Philly is definitely my favorite option so far -- flavorful, fresh, and really well done. Looking forward to coming back again!

"This pastry was amazing--just like my mom used to make! Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend it!"

Not sure what works in Texas translates here. Feels oddly school cafeteria like. I had a barely warm egg n cheese that was sitting out on a tray and a strawberry peanut butter. Hopefully neighborhood embraces it.
