"My husband and I have been twice now and it’s been excellent both times! Super cozy and personable environment. The cinnamon; sausage gravy; jalapeño w/ sausage, egg, and cheese; and Monte Cristo are all delicious! Riana (employee) added an excellent upbeat vibe. Definitely check it out next time you’re in Provo!"

"10/10 recommend. This was my first time at Hruska’s and it did not disappoint. 🤩 I’m usually a sucker for the breakfast bundles at Maverik gas station, but a buddy of mine recommended I try this place! Suffice it so say, I think I’m in love! 😍😋 This place knocked it out of the park.!! My wife and I got a savory/sweet kolache each. We got the sausage egg and cheese, the strawberry, and the raspberry. All were delicious. We will be coming back!
PRO TIP:
Do an online order for pickup!!! 🛻 I got to the store and there was a line out the door of about 20-25 people! (yes this place is that good) I was able to walk past everybody in line and pick up my order and leave! 🤪"

"maybe the food quality ordering in person is better, but we ordered an hour ahead of time online because the line was ungodly. we got the raspberry, cinnamon, and bacon egg and sauasage. the fillings were delectable but the dough tastes a little like walmart bakery…"
