Kolache Republic — Restaurant in Columbus

Stumbled across this place while on a 2 day vacation and decided to give them a try and see what they were about.

You walk in and they are stationed in a little nook off to the side. I was immediately greater and felt welcomed into the space.

I placed and order with the friendly cashier and as they bagged up my items the other gentlemen told me they had some sauces/jams I might want to try with my kielbasa and cheese roll, which I absolutely did.

I ordered the kielbasa, cheese , and jalapeno roll, the lemon blueberry kolache and the strawberry rhubarb. Everything was delicious and fresh. The kielbasa was warm and the creamy jalapeno sauce and mango habenero jam both complimented it sooooo well. I couldn’t decide which to eat so I was eating both one on each side lol.

If you’re in the Columbus area make sure to stop by and give these fine folks a try. You won’t be disappointed. Well unless you only buy one. Then you will be because this is the kind of place where you have to buy multiple items because...

So disappointed with this place & the customer service:( I’ve never eaten here( and won’t now) but was for the 1st time customer & ordered their “pre- order only” Thanksgiving Kolaches. I paid $40 for 4. I own a small bar in GV and understand the Buisness well, and the hard work you have to put in daily. I missed the pick up as I didn’t realize I had to get them on Sat or Sunday ONLY. I stopped in on Wednesday & hoped they still had my order. They didn’t, said they had to throw them away. They never called me to let me know they would be thrown away, or that I hadn’t picked them up yet. All Buisness is conducted on-line. They didn’t offer a refund or even a credit to try a kolache at a later date. They just threw up their hands and shook their heads. Some of the worst customer service I've experienced. I always welcome new customers & try to do whatever I can to give them a good impression of who we are. I won’t return. They permanently lost a potential regular customer and local business connection....

The combination of one savory kolache, one sweet kolache, and a coffee makes the PERFECT breakfast treat! All for only $10 total. PRO TIP: Ask for tiny cups of the jalapeno jam, garlic aioli, (and now serving habanero pineapple jam) on the side! They take the savory kolaches to the next level; I love picking and choosing which flavor I add to each bite.

Also, the people who work here are always so friendly. And there's tons of great seating! Post up on the outdoor patio, head upstairs and sit next to a big window overlooking High St, or grab a seat on one of their balconies. I can't recommend this...
