Kolaches
Every Kolache Filling We Make, and Which One to Order First
14 September 2026 · 6 min read
If it is your first kolache, order the large sausage, egg, cheese and potato. It is a complete breakfast in one hand and it tells you immediately whether you like the format. Small kolaches are $2.50 each or $26.50 a dozen; large are $4.75 or $49.50 a dozen.
Small kolaches — $2.50 each
These are the snack size. Soft enriched dough baked around a savoury filling, about the size of a fist. One is a light breakfast; two is a real one.
- Sausage and cheese — the classic, and the one to judge us by. If you only ever eat one kolache, eat this.
- Ham and cheese — milder, saltier, the one children reliably eat.
- Sausage, cheese and jalapeño — the same as the classic with heat running through it. Not punishing, but you know it is there.
- Ham, cheese and jalapeño — the mildest base with the heat added. A good middle if you want warmth without the sausage.
Large kolaches — $4.75 each
These replace a drive-through breakfast. Same dough, considerably more inside.
- Sausage, egg, cheese and potato — the one to start with. Everything a breakfast plate has, wrapped in bread.
- Bacon, egg, cheese and potato — the same idea with bacon's smoke instead of sausage's spice. The most popular of the four.
- Sausage, egg and gravy — the heaviest thing on our board. Biscuits and gravy in a form you can hold. Order it when you have actual work ahead of you.
- Ham ranchero — ham with ranchero sauce. The one that tastes least like everything else on the menu, and the one regulars get attached to.
Ordering for a group
Half savoury, half sweet is the order that leaves nobody hungry. A dozen large kolaches at $49.50 alongside a dozen donuts covers a morning meeting properly, and it costs less than catering.
For a mixed group, small kolaches stretch further — a dozen at $26.50 gives twelve people something savoury without committing to a full breakfast each.
Go early
Kolaches are usually the first thing we run out of. They take longer to make than donuts — the dough has to rise, the fillings have to be prepped and portioned, everything assembled and baked before the doors open at 5:00am. Whatever was made is what exists that day.
If you want a specific filling, or you want a dozen of one thing, call the shop the day before and ask them to set it aside.
Where
All three shops make kolaches fresh every morning — Spanish Fork, Ogden and St. George. Very few donut shops in Utah make them at all, which is why people drive for them.
