Kolache Factory: where to get kolaches in Katy at 6 a.m.

23240 Westheimer Pkwy Ste C · 10705 Spring Green Blvd #900 · 23021 Morton Ranch Rd Ste A · 805 FM 1463 #100 · 505 S Fry Rd, all Katy, TX · typically open at 6 a.m.; check the official store page for weekend and holiday hours

Kolache Factory has five stores in Katy, according to its official store locator, so there is usually one close to your morning route. The company was founded in Houston in 1982, according to its About page, so the kolache chain on Katy's morning commute started inside the city.

Kolaches came to Texas with Czech immigrants, and Houston-area shops have long served them two ways: sweet, with fruit fillings, and savory, with meat and cheese baked inside soft dough. Kolache Factory's menu splits along the same lines, with Traditional fruit kolaches, Savory meat-and-cheese options, Eggs, and Sweets. The company also serves espresso, according to its home page.

Best for: breakfast before a commute, feeding a team or a carpool, or getting something in hand before a sit-down wait.

What to order: one savory and one sweet. Ask the counter which fruit filling came out of the oven last.

Yes, if you use the waitlist. The Toasted Yolk Cafe says every recipe is made from scratch, and it serves breakfast and brunch from open to close every day. The Grand Parkway location sits minutes from LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch, Katy Mills and Katy Asian Town. The FM 1463 location serves the Fulshear side of Katy.

The Toasted Yolk Cafe does not take reservations. Join the digital waitlist from your phone before you leave home and you will get a text when your table is ready. That is the difference between a pleasant Sunday and a long stand in the parking lot.

Our favorite plate is the Croissant Roll French Toast, which the menu lists with macerated strawberries. The Brisket Tacos pair 12-hour smoked lean brisket with scrambled eggs. The signature Dragon Fruit Pancakes come drizzled with a house-made dragon fruit glaze, and the Hashbrown Casserole is the side the whole table ends up sharing. Benedicts here are called "Arnolds", so don't hunt the menu for the word Benedict.

The Grand Parkway location lists a full bar with mimosas, Bloody Marys and brunch cocktails. The Toasted Yolk notes that alcohol availability varies by location, so check your cafe's page.

What to order: Croissant Roll French Toast, Brisket Tacos, Nashville Hot Chicken & Waffles, or the Dragon Fruit Pancakes.

Sweet Paris Creperie & Café at LaCenterra in Katy is a Houston original: the company says it first opened in Rice Village in 2012. The menu splits into savory crêpes and sweet crêpes, and the savory side makes a proper breakfast.

The Croque Madame layers eggs, ham, gruyère and béchamel. La Canadienne adds eggs, mozzarella, potatoes, bacon and maple syrup, and Le Mexican fills a crêpe with eggs, carnitas, refried beans and avocado.
