Prior to Hruska's, I had no idea what a kolache was. Now my life has improved significantly. The best way I can describe a kolache is a breakfast bun stuffed with all sorts of good stuff. We ordered the sausage, egg, and cheese, sausage and gravy, sausage, cheese, and jalapeno, raspberry, and strawberry kolache. None disappointed. The jalapeno was so good. Great flavor with very little kick. The raspberry and strawberry kolaches were very good as well but on the sweeter side (think more of a dessert). I have a rule where I don't order stuff biscuits and gravy at breakfast places because my wife's family is from the south and has that meal mastered. However, my wife ordered it and it was very good (one of the best attempts in the state). Be prepared to wait in line and the daily specials sell out quickly. It's a small place with some seating in the back on a patio but I'd plan on taking the kolaches home with you. They're open at 6:30 and close when everything is sold out for the day. The buns are around $3 each and they are filling. I think most people would be satisfied with one but I always order two (they're so good)! We'll definitely be back...
Read moreI love breakfast foods, but I didn't really feel like having pancakes or waffles or whatever today. Hruska's picture on DoorDash caught my eye and I decided to take a closer look. I've never heard of kolaches before, but they looked so good so I decided to try it.
This is now my favorite breakfast food place ever! They were so cheap, I decided to try a variety of the kolaches - a savory one (sausage, egg, and cheese), along with a raspberry, cherry, and strawberry. They smelled SO GOOD when they arrived. They were cooled down a bit, understandably, considering the temperature outside and the delivery time, but the reheating instructions worked great for the savory one. (I decided not to reheat the fruit ones and eat them room temp or cold instead.) After just that one, I already felt really full - which rarely ever happens for me - but I really wanted to try one of the fruit ones right away as well so I tried the cherry one. Both kolaches were AMAZING, and I put the other two in the fridge for later.
Between the low cost and the amazing quality, I 100% will order again, and when I get the chance I'll definitely be checking them...
Read moreWith locations in Provo, American Fork, West Jordan and Salt Lake City it can safely be said that Hruska's is a growing concern, the brand begun in 2014 by a Texas family with Czech roots slowly building a fanbase through traditional Kolaches with both modern and vintage fillings.
Owned by the trio who came to Utah for school, one a Chef but all three learning the trade, it is inside shabby chic confines that guests will find a team hard t work making twenty-plus varieties from scratch daily.
Already popular before a Guy Fieri feature, though Hruska's Salt Lake City’s location is now prone to selling out of more popular items early, the key to a good Kolache is getting Dough to rise in a manner where fillings are supported without being too dense and Ross’ version accomplishes this admirably.
More buttery than many tasted in Texas, savories tanning like a Dinner Roll around hearty Sausage Gravy or all the Ingredients of a traditional Monte Cristo Sandwich, Hruska's best seller remains Raspberry with Cream Cheese that eats like a Danish with more heft while seasonal flavors like Maple Pecan are...
