Dos Gatos Kolache Bakery — Restaurant in San Marcos

I've been to Dos Gatos a handful of times and leave happy, full, and caffienated. This visit was a little different and hope it's a one off thing. A sweet lady helped me with my kolache and coffee order with no issues. She asked if I'd like cream or sweetener in my cold brew and I told her yes (she wrote cream and vanilla on the outside of the cup). When I picked up my coffee it had no cream. I opened it to taste if it had vanilla sweetener, and it just tasted like black cold brew coffee. I went up to the counter and asked another employee if they could help fix my coffee (she was a short lady, with a yellow cap and braids), she rudely told me there was sweetener in the cup and the cream was "over there", pointing to the half and half and sugar station. I was pretty annoyed with the lack of help and laziness, but I left it at that. After pouring the half and half in and mixing, the vanilla was in the coffee but I guess at the bottom. Why put "cream" on the cup if I'm going to do it myself? It wouldn't have been an issue at all if the rude lady I spoke to was...

The savory breakfast kolaches at Dos Gatos are incredible. The owners clearly put a lot of pride into the work they do and it shows. The dough is so wonderfully baked and they pair excellently with the high quality meats and cheeses they fill them with. While I haven’t had any of the fruit-filled sweet kolaches I absolutely expect the ingredient and preparation quality to be every bit as outstanding.

The justified popularity of this place means that if a wide selection of fresh kolache options is your aim you’ll want to arrive earlier so that some of the best aren’t already sold out. However if you find yourself a little lethargic after a night of partying they’ve got day-old bulk deals for some of the most popular options which, if reheated properly at home, are almost every bit as good.

Whether you’re coming into town or just passing through I highly recommend Dos Gatos...

My friends and I stopped here on the way to Schlitterbahn. I knew from the perfect rating it held on here that it must be good, but I didn't expect it to fully live up to that hype. I've only very recently been introduce to kolaches, but these blew what I've had so far out of the water, especially the jalapeno & cheese sausage kolache. Not only were the sausage and the peppers cooked into it completely mouth-watering (perhaps somewhat mild, but I could see that being a plus for people who aren't fanatics about spicy food), but the bread they were cooked it was fresh and sweet and fluffy. I didn't get any of their coffee, but my friend quite enjoyed his pecan coffee that he got. If I ever find myself in the area again, I will make...
