Lone Star Kolaches

One of the better-​tasting sausage egg and cheese kolaches I have had. Kolaches are culturally notorious for having just ordinary taste. This one was amazing for ordinary taste. Never go to a kolache place expecting out-​of-​this-​world taste. Combine good enough food with great ambience and you will be fine.
Their Columbian coffee was also great.
I was happy with breakfast at $ 6.50 total for me and mom.

I have been here on two different occaisions: the first time my jalapeño cheese kolache was so stuffed full of jalapeños (fresh uncooked ones, mind you — totally raw) I had diarrhea for three days afterwards.
The second time I got one with bacon, which I realize was 100% raw after the first bite. I promptly threw up after eating it.
These guys have no idea how to properly cook food and I will not be returning here.

Pretty decent kolache place with a lot of options. My personal favorite is the ham, egg, and cheese. The Philly cheese steak is pretty good too. I’ve had the sausage, egg, and cheese, and while it’s tasty, it would be a lot better if the sausage were chopped up throughout instead of there being a huge patty in the center of the kolache. For fruit my favorite is the cherry — good blend of sweet and tart. The poppyseed sounded like a great idea, but in reality is just entirely to sweet to eat in one sitting. Definitely ask for them heated up, they’re even better that way!
Four stars because they probably aren’t the best kolaches ever and the service here isn’t that great. The morning counter employee seems uninterested, like she’d rather be somewhere else (but I guess who wouldn’t feel that way if they started work at 5:30am). She gave me the wrong change once because I genuinely think she didn’t know how to add it up properly… Anyway, I’ll keep coming back because the kolaches are still good, and it’s a fine second choice whenever La Patisserie next door is closed.

I used to really like them. The quality has taken a dive, at least at this location. No more for me.

Yuck! I am of Czech descent and I grew up eating home made kolaches. What Lone Star sells are NOT kolaches, but more like bagels with a horrible fruit filling. Not good at all and I’m surprised they have any good reviews. There are a lot better places out there! Will not be back to this place.

I’d probably give ‘em 4 stars but personally, I’m just not a huge fan of kolaches. I’ve only had 2 in my entire life and never even heard of them before moving to Austin! But this place is around the corner from me. They have a huge selection and I picked up an egg & cheese one and a strawberry one… They were pretty good. Customer service was not very friendly but then again everyone has bad days, so who knows… If you like kolaches, it’s a good place to check out. Can’t believe how cheap they are, too — $ 2.90 for 2.

Stopped in on Saturday morning before 9 am, they have less than six fruit kolaches left. Seriously? Who is planning that? Woman working the counter was rude. Kolaches were meh. Not going back.

Basically what you would expect. Pretty decent kolaches. Service was very slow this Sunday morning, but fortunately we got in on the front side of it. Perfect two-​year-​old breakfast.
I like the Ranchero. Coffee is okay.

Kolaches… a new fettish of mine. I’ve only been exposed to bagels and donuts… now its the almighty Kolaches.
I’ve been here 4 times and never greeted. They have a vast variety of Kolaches so it takes me a little longer to decide and I like to change it up and order something new with each visit.
The Kolaches are ok and taste good but it doesn’t have anything outstanding about it.

Not terrible, not good.
For the dieter, it’s a good location to eat.
I ordered a ham and cheese croissant.
It was probably great two hours ago, but by the time I freed it from life on the shelf, it was past it’s prime. Taking a ride on the carousel in the microwave may have been the highlight of this poor croissant’s life.
I dined in, so I got it at it’s absolute best of circumstances. At that, the croissant was stale, and the ham and cheese were also showing their age.
Why is it good for the dieter? After eating 1/​3, I trashed the rest and enjoyed the diet drink.
I’ll try again WAY earlier than 10:30 a.m. next time.

All too often this place is out of what we order, it doesn’t matter what time we come 6am or 9, or even later. Their excuses– the girl that makes Themis late, they are sold out, or we are making more. A lot if the time it’s the wrong order too. How hard is it to get a simple order right? I order 2 bacon cheese and potato and over half the time it’s wrong. The only reason I go back is because when they are there and made and fresh it’s usually good and I try to support local, but they are making it pretty hard to support these people… Eat at your own risk, I guess.

Epic fail. I hope the manager or owner reads this and does something.
First issue was that all of the prices on the menu were erased so I had no idea what anything cost. Not a big deal because it is just kolaches but still annoying. Moving on.
I ordered 3. Cheese and jalapeño, sausage, cheese and jalapeño, and ham and Swiss. The lady had me repeat my order 3 times over the speaker and then after I pulled up to get my order she reconfirmed it again.
They came in one bag with no indication as to which was which. I reached in and picked one. It was the jalapeño and cheese one. It was ice cold. Not room temperature but cold. It was a chunk of cold cheese with some cold jalapeño. I ate it and moved on to mystery #2. It was nice and warm and I bit in and it was pan sausage. I didn’t order pan sausage and do not like it so I threw it in the bag and went for #3 which was a room temp ham kolache.. How do you ask someone their order 4 times and still get it wrong? Why was the wrong one the only hot one? I was given no receipt or napkins. Just 3 mystery kolaches in a nondescript white bag.
Just a bad experience. I’ll drive further and stick to kolache factory! I wish I could get my money back!

We picked up a ranchero kolache, eggs, jalapenos and salsa… had some nice heat, and a couple pepperoni rolls, these were good… and a bag with 2 kolaches and 2 cinnamon twists for 2 bucks, i assume these are a day old, everything we got was good but not amazing… which is to be expected as we showed up at noon and most of these goodies were probably made early this morning… Hruzka’s they are not.

Chopped ham and swiss inside a little roll from heaven. They have sweet, savory, and everything in between.
The customer service is a bit lacking but the kolaches kind of make up for it.

This place is called Lone Star Kolaches for a reason! Not Lone Star Coffee!
The kolaches are great and well-​priced; if you want good coffee, go across the parking lot to the Starbucks. The breakfast offerings are very good (I have tried to sample everything). The fruit ones actually compare well to my Memaw’s which is saying a lot! Go early for best selection! The drive-​thru is a nicety.

My kids and I love to come grab breakfast here.
They try awfully hard to keep their items stocked, but if you go a little later in the day its not uncommon for them to be out.
Fruit ones are delish. Great jelly, and nice soft pasty. Not too much of either, and I love that they warm them for you.
Their stuffed ones are pretty good too! We like the bacon and cheese ones.

I agree with another reviewer — this is more between a 3 and 4. Gave it the extra edge because it is quick. They have a vast selection of varieties on their shelves, however, a lot of them were out. They were rather quick and very courteous as well as offer some selections they enjoyed. The bread was dry, but enjoyed the ones I ultimately picked out. Want a quick breakfast, here you go!

I have ordered the spinach & cheese, the sausage and cheese, the pepporoni, and the chorizo and egg. This place is somewhere between a 3 and a 4. The food is fast (obviously) but sometimes they are out of the flavor that you like. The bread is a little dry… all in all, you get what you pay for and I appreciate their speed so I’m gonna bump them up a half star.

Not quite sure why these other reviews are bashing on this place… I eat here almost every morning and love the food they have here… the croissants, sausage rolls, polish sausage, and the chubbys are all very good… sometimes I cant decide what I want… their service is very fast even though I never use the drive thru. I enjoy the friendliness from the employees so I prefer to go inside.
I wouldn’t avoid this place based on the other comments here. Give it a shot for yourself and see what you think. Thanks for listening. Peace!

I love Kolaches… well, the fresh ones.
I was going for a treatment at The Academy at Austin and had some time before my appointment.
I was a bit hungry — but not whole meal hungry, when I remembered that there was a Lone Star Kolache right up the street.
I strode on in the store with visions of sweet bread dancing in my head.
Ick! This is a nightmare, not a dream!
A woman is on the phone with someone (it appears her casch register is having technical issues), and with no nod, smile or anything she slams onto a bell… D I N G
A woman comes from the back
«What can I get you?»
Uhhhh… gee… sorry to bother you guys since you’re so busy with you’re … uhmmm ONE CUSTOMER.
I eye the shelves.
Everything looks all wrinkled and old and not so fresh. I am beginning to wonder if I can make a run for it and not look like a crazy person.
OH! Blueberry goodness there you are!
«I’ll take a blueberry, please.»
She hands me the blueberry and takes me $ 1.
I can’t wait to get out of there… the polite, friendly manner is suffocating! (NOT)
I take my Kolache from it’s bag, toss the bag in the trash on my way out and take that first wonderful, lovely bite into heavenly… BLECH!
It was awful. The bread had no flavor and the blueberry schlop was so old it had that film that developed similar to that on your gravy in elementary school cafeteria food.
I spit it out in my hand, walked back in the store and tossed that Kolache in the can.
GAHROSS!
I’ll skip the Kolache and head to Starbucks right out front from now on.
However, the silver lining? It was now time for my treatment at the Academy.
…on to my next review.
