Topeka Gets a Sweet Treat: Kansas Welcomes Its First American Kolache Restaurant

Excitement is in the air in Topeka as the first American Kolache restaurant has opened its doors, offering residents a delightful twist on a classic treat. Located at 5938 S.W. 17th St., Suite 300, this charming eatery officially started serving its unique pastries on March 14. The restaurant aims to add a special flavor to Topeka’s bustling food scene, and it’s safe to say that locals are buzzing with anticipation!

Meet the Owners: A Texas Dream

The masterminds behind this tasty venture are franchise owners Aaron Wilkins and Jennifer Logan. Having roots in Texas, these two have firsthand experience with kolaches, which have a rich heritage linked to Czech immigrants who brought them to the Lone Star State in the early 1900s. Their passion for this delicious pastry sparked the idea to introduce it to the good folks of Topeka.

A Kolache for Every Craving

One of the best aspects of the new kolache spot is its extensive menu, featuring a variety of both sweet and savory fillings to satisfy any craving. Start your day with a scrumptious breakfast kolache filled with Egg and Cheese or spice things up with a Jalapeno Popper. For those looking for comfort food, the Mac & Cheese Bacon kolache is a must-try!

If your sweet tooth is calling, don’t worry; the selection will not disappoint. Indulge in delightful flavors like Apple Pie, S’mores, and even Cookies N Cream. Each kolache is freshly made daily, with baking beginning at the crack of dawn, around 3 a.m., ensuring that every bite is warm and tasty!

Affordable and Convenient

Kolaches at this trendy spot range in price from $2.55 to $3.89, making it an accessible treat for anyone looking to try something new. Plus, if you happen to miss out on the fresh batch, you can snag some of the unsold kolaches from the day before, cheekily dubbed ‘yesterday bags’, for just $5.

Whether you want to enjoy your kolache in the cozy dining area or grab it on the go, the restaurant offers both options. Local food lovers will be thrilled to know that in the near future, DoorDash delivery and online ordering will make getting their favorite kolaches even easier.

A Strategic Location for Success

The location of American Kolache is quite strategic, nestled next to the Shawnee County Motor Vehicle Annex, which means that foot traffic should be brisk as locals pop in for a quick bite. The restaurant hours will bring customers in bright and early, operating from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays.

Looking Ahead: A Kolache Revolution?

The team behind American Kolache is ambitious, with plans to open ten more stores in 2025 and another ten in 2026. With an existing string of locations in St. Louis and one in Birmingham, Alabama, the Topeka site is only the beginning for this growing chain. The buzz around the Kansas location is evident, and there’s a good chance you’ll see new kolache lovers emerging all over the state!

As Topeka residents flock to the new American Kolache restaurant, there’s little doubt that this sweet and savory spot will become a cherished addition to local dining. Whether you’re a kolache novice or a seasoned fan, be sure to stop by and grab one of these delectable pastries soon!
