Cinnamon roll
Jazmine S.

Stopped by one morning because I saw they had breakfast tacos and I wanted to try a glazed cinnamon roll since I'd never had one before. When I was standing in line, I noticed the gentleman in front of me had already ordered and was standing there talking to the lady at the counter for awhile which was kind of off putting to me because the lady saw me standing there but they continued to talk. When I went to order the taco, I was told "oh no, the grill closes at 10am". It was a little after 11 when I went. Which that's fine, but how am I to know that when there's no sign or anything saying that the grill is closed at 10?.. anyway, the cinnamon roll is delicious. I would go back for that but I hope I have an overall better experience next time.

After reading all the reviews of the donut shops on the island, this one seems to be one of the most popular. I have to admit this pink building stands out on the side of the road and has about a dozen or so parking spaces. Once inside, there's about Four tables to sit at and a display case filled with pastries. The folks behind the counter are quite personable and one reason this place is so popular is that their prices are surprisingly low. They do have cold drinks as well as coffee. If you want your pastry heated up, you'll have to use the microwave situated by the front window. The quality of their baked goods is very good, especially for the money which makes this place worth coming to.

Nov 22, 2023 nicest owner, but I just don't like a dense donut. they taste good, I'm just more of a light and fluffy fan!

Holy cow this place is not only very affordable but also really good and to top it off great customer service!!! The tonight's were fresh and soft. The service was so kind, the guy gave us some extra donut holes. It's pretty obvious this is a local favorite from the other customers here. Glad we stopped here on our way out of town!!!

Why 5 stars? Because it will be hard to come to Galveston again without stopping here…read more --- --- --- In general, I find myself to be more disappointed with Bagels than not. So when my wife suggested we make this our final stop before leaving town, I was just kind of along for the ride. It turns out, the ride was amazing. I was visiting NYC a few months earlier and went to a place that was wildly considered to have the best bagels in the city. They were perfectly fine but not really remarkable. But GBC served the kind of bagels we were still thinking about the next day. I think it was the softness that really separated them. Said softness was easier to detect from the snickerdoodle bagels we ordered with strawberry and honey butter cream cheese. Both were no doubt 5-stars. But for my "main course" was the Pelican Island, which was a hodgepodge of deliciousness all crammed betwixt two blueberry bagels. I really enjoyed it, but if I returned for a second visit, I would order something else only because there were like ten other things I wanted to try. By the way, I also enjoyed stealing a few bites of my wife's ham, egg and cheese bagel. Earlier I said "if I returned for a second visit", and I'd like to correct the record. We will 100% be returning for a second visit. We might even go as far as a visit here being an excuse for why we need to come back to Galveston a few months from now.

One of the best bagels I've had! The food was absolutely worth the trip, and I can definitely see…read morewhy this place stays so busy. Unfortunately, my first visit didn't start off well. I placed an online order for pickup, but when I arrived, I was told my order had already been picked up. Since I hadn't requested delivery, that obviously wasn't possible. Thankfully, a very kind employee at the other counter took the time to verify my order and got everything sorted out. What stood out to me was that I wasn't the only customer dealing with this issue. There were several people waiting on orders that had apparently already been picked up. It seems like the pickup process could use some improvements. I think adding clearer signage to direct guests and having one employee dedicated to managing the pickup area and traffic flow would make a huge difference. I also think staff should verify pickup orders with a confirmation code or order number before handing them out. I also paid extra for cold foam on my coffee, but I was simply told they were out. I wasn't offered a refund or a substitute. It's a small detail, but if customers are paying for an add-on, they should either receive it or be given another option. Overall, the bagels are excellent and absolutely the reason I'll come back. The staff was friendly despite how busy they were, but the pickup process and communication around unavailable items could definitely be improved to match the quality of the food.

When I was younger, my parents took me to Hey Mikey's for the first time while we were at The…read moreStrand, right when it first opened, and I got a behemoth of an ice cream cone. I got a t-shirt too that I wore for years until it was ultimately retired. I actually wrote a Yelp review about it that I deleted. In it, I said "The smell of the waffle cones filled the place with smiles and enjoyment. I knew I wanted a waffle cone." What a terrible critic. He will never be Yelp Elite. I haven't been back to Hey Mikey's since then, just because I haven't really been back to Galveston in some time, but my memories of the unique ice cream flavors and toppings remained. Heading back to Galveston for a cruise, I wanted to try and make a stop there again for nostalgia's sake. Instead of heading to the Airbnb, my girlfriend and I drove straight to Hey Mikey's as our first stop in Galveston. We got there around 8:45 pm, which was 15 minutes before they closed (our fault). This is no diss to Hey Mikey's, but almost everything else on The Strand on a Thursday night closes way too early, so it felt like everyone was at Hey Mikey's. The line was extensive in front of us and behind us even after it closed. After waiting through the line for quite some time, I got a waffle cone with their cereal milk ice cream, which had Fruity Pebbles in it, topped with Lucky Charms. They gave it to me with a temperature-changing plastic spoon that turned from yellow to purple when cold. The ice cream was sensational. What an incredible flavor. The only downside was the waffle cone being a little stale, but I fault that to it being a waffle cone ordered right at closing time. The next night, I returned with my cousins and ordered a cup of cereal milk ice cream with Cocoa Puffs as the topping instead. Fantastic stuff. Once again, being there too close to closing meant we had to wait, and we didn't get our ice cream until 9:30, a full 30 minutes after they closed. It was nice that they still served us though! One thing I did notice, which I don't know if it's a normal thing, is that since Hey Mikey's is the only ice cream shop open past 8 o'clock on most weeknights, they seem to get a lot of foot traffic after that time. Their menu is pretty large in its offerings. If it were just scoops of ice cream, the line would move fast, but so many people were ordering shakes, which are a lot more labor-intensive and removed a staff member from their assembly line to focus on the shake. I don't have any advice on how they could easily move the line in the later hours of the night, but man, those kids are working their butts off for everyone to get their late-night sweet treat. Hey Mikey's, you are just as good as I remember.

Worth the wait! A small business that makes home made ice cream with a variety of flavors and…read morecombinations to choose from. There a few tables inside the establishment and it was quite packed with a line, however service went pretty fast. From the traditional chocolate and vanilla to Americas colors, and Salted Carmel, lots to choose from shakes, bowls and a banana split. I had the double scoop Nutter Butter and Salted Carmel and the misses had a Brownie Sundae. If you're in Galveston, check it out. If you're a fan of cooling off inside, you can do that to to enjoy the ambiance.
