Category: Donuts

Neighbourhood: The Heights

4.0 star rating
  2/15/2012

Whoa. This unassuming place is completely awesome. I had heard rumors of these delicious kolaches to be found in the Heights but I had never actually spotted this before even though I have driven by it before many times. Since I was far from my…More »

 2. B&B Donuts

Houston, TX 77006
(713) 520-7557

Category: Donuts

Neighbourhoods: Fourth Ward, Montrose

3.0 star rating
  7/16/2011

This place gets passed over so much since it isn't in the "right area" for where I am or where I am headed. But the reviews, especially Olivia B.'s, are quite telling of how this is a place that is definitely worth stopping in even though it is in a…More »

 3. Kolache Factory

3.0 star rating
  11/1/2011

Kolaches are magical husks of awesome enveloping magic creatures, so much so, that it pains Hagrid in a deeply disconcerting way (like the voices crying out in terror that one time I destroyed Alderaan on a double-dog dare) every time one of the…More »

 4. Kolache Factory Store No 10

10201 Katy Fwy
Houston, TX 77024
(713) 461-2253

Category: Bakeries

Neighbourhood: Memorial

3.0 star rating
  3/31/2011 First to Review

Spending a lot of time in Memorial is confusing, like not knowing whether to flirt with the 18 year old wearing the varsity jacket or the 30 year old "mother"/third wife who has had a lot of plastic surgery and other enhancements done at the behest…More »

 5. Kolache Factory Store No 4

2045 Westheimer Rd
Houston, TX 77098
(713) 523-5567

Category: Bakeries

Neighbourhood: Montrose

2.0 star rating
  11/11/2010

This review is written to the annoying tune of Kesha's "We Are Who We Are" because unfortunately, this location pretty much is what it is and you have to accept it.

No matter which location was your first experience with the Factory, this one…More »

 6. Kolache Factory

528 W Bay Area Blvd
Webster, TX 77598
(281) 557-2253

Category: Bakeries

Neighbourhood: Clear Lake

2.0 star rating
  7/9/2011

The Factory and I have a love hate relationship across the city. When I finally find the perfect spot on one trip, I make a repeat visit and the food is bad and the workers should feel bad for handing that to me. Plus they are sorta' rude when the…More »

 7. Christy's Donuts

1103 W Gray St
Houston, TX 77019
(713) 524-4005

Category: Donuts

Neighbourhood: Montrose

1.0 star rating
  Update - 11/3/2010

Epic fail this morning. And by that I mean one star is so generous and benevolent like you would only see from the King of Albion, or because Yelp will not let you subtract stars from other peoples' reviews of this place and all subsequent reviews in…More »

 8. Shipley DO-Nut Shops

401 Richmond Ave
Houston, TX 77002
(713) 523-3115

Category: Donuts

Neighbourhoods: Fourth Ward, Museum District, Midtown

1.0 star rating
  2/19/2012

Worst breakfast food experience likely possible to experience in the city. The location kind of just screams at you "roll up the windows, Margaret" which is a clear sign that maybe you should just keep going. But no, your stomach is insatiable and…More »

I have a fever, and the only prescription is more kolaches. Unfortunately running late and no time to go to the Heights for Bakery Donuts. What is one supposed to do? The next best thing: what is close, open, and has no line so you can get in and out…More »

 10. Kolache Shoppe

3945 Richmond Ave
Houston, TX 77027
(713) 626-4580

Category: Bakeries

Neighbourhood: Greenway

2.0 star rating
  4/10/2012

Given the hype from my kolache-eating circle I was honestly expecting more - but they work in the Greenway area, so I probably should have judged their tastes a bit more harshly. If you don't know: I hate the Greenway area. That was one of the worst…More »
