Incredible find on the island. Their location is conveniently located between the Seawall and the Strand with some street parking and spots right out front. It is a small building with a lot of character. While the service may have been slightly more friendly, the food and plethora of options more than makes up for it. Besides the awesome kolaches and klobasnek, they have meals to take home, soups, and other snacks. read more

Why 5 stars? Because these kolaches matched the awesome Yelp rating. --- --- --- On our way out of Galveston after spending a few days there, we hit up Good Dough and were so glad we did. As soon as I walked in, I was immediately hit with a mild panic attack, as I knew I was going to really struggle to narrow down my selection to only a few. But I locked in and managed to walk away with only 4. We ordered a Cherry, Pumpkin, Peach and Sausage Maple Bacon. They all ranged from good to great, with pumpkin being my absolute favorite. I wish we had been able to heat up the savory one, but we had nearly a 2 hour drive home ahead of us and no chance to wait that long to actually devour it. There are many great Kolache places in Greater Houston, but this is one of the best that I've found. read more

We recently visited Good Dough and had a great experience! The atmosphere was super cute and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and helpful from the moment we walked in. I tried the Georgia On My Mind kolache, which was filled with peaches and topped with a bourbon glaze--it was a perfect mix of sweet and rich, and the flavor combo definitely lived up to the name. We also had the ChaCha Cha, which had a fun birthday cake vibe--sweet, colorful, and nostalgic in the best way. To top it off, we grabbed a classic chocolate chip cookie, which was soft, buttery, and just the right amount of gooey. Everything we tried was fresh and delicious. We'll definitely be back to try more! read more

I found this bakery while exploring a new area, and it felt like a hidden gem. The maple bacon and pecan pie had the perfect mix of sweet and bold flavor. What really impressed me was even the place was small, it was clean, everything was in their place, and the staff are very welcoming and helpful. I've already recommended it to several friends! read more

Best and most unique kolaches I've ever had, we loved everyone we tried. The owner was super nice and provided great service. We tried the elote, sausage and gravy, boudin, ham and cheese and bbq kolache. read more

Friendly staff. Koloches were great. I recommend this place if you want to try something kinda different and new

Talk about some good food. This place is THE kolache place. Hands down best I've ever had. I want to go every day if I could. So many unique flavors and each one just as tasty as the last. I couldn't recommend this more. read more

If you're looking for top-tier kolaches, Good Dough is the place to go. They have a great selection to choose from and everything tastes incredible. The storefront has a really cool atmosphere, and the customer service is consistently excellent. It's easily one of the best spots around--definitely worth a visit! read more

Went back the next morning and ordered some Kolaches. DE-lish! Our favs were the sausage and the everything for savory and the blueberry for sweet. Will be on our regular stops when we come to the island. read more

Wow- this was the best in all of Texas! I am a northerner and have been traumatized with mystery meat donuts (aka kolaches) in the past and have always had a fear of them. However, Chef Mary and her team washed away my PTSD with sprinkled cake flavored kolaches! I am so #blessed! read more

Yummy! This cute little spot in midtown Galveston offers a delicious variety of kolaches. I enjoyed trying the unique flavors that ranged from sweet and fruity to meaty and savory. I couldn't pick my favorite, but I was lucky enough to try the brisket kolache. I also tried the Cherry with cream cheese, BOI, Lumberjack, Peach, and Horchata. I would gladly come back for seconds. The service was friendly and helpful. read more

Crazy variety of traditional kolaches, and some super different flavor blends from sweet to super savory! Best on the island

We tried dessert first; chocolate mousse and the ginger bread man cookie. They were all right but nothing spectacular. What does stand out are the kolaches. They were pretty fantastic! (So good I forgot to take pics). The servers both times offered their suggestions based on their preferences. The place is small with only takeout but it's worth checking it out. Take a look at the awards !!! We will definitely be back. read more

We decided to stop there while on vacation. The guy behind the counter was fantastic and had all the great recommendations. We always ask for their favorites and he didn't lead us wrong. Try the BOI (Born on the Island) - it's a sweet and salty caramel that checks all the boxes. For savory I had a sausage gravy stuffed roll that was amazing. He even had a coffee shop recommendation. read more

Good Dough has some serious good dough. It's not just a clever name! So many delicious kolaches both savory and sweet to choose from. We decided to get a variety of flavors and everything was delicious. I especially enjoyed the 'everything but the bagel' and 'pineapple upside down' and my husband really liked the 'Chris P. Bacon' (get it?). Service was quick and they also have a fridge with various grab and go meals and sides. I was really tempted by the giant cookies and will be trying one on our next visit. Great little shop to grab some tasty pastries in the morning! read more

I had no idea the owner had so many accolades when we picked this place.....it was just something along the way before we got on our cruise. I have never had such scrumptious kolaches. I think we tried almost all of them. The dough is definitely more than good it's great! The savory stuffed ones were all juicy and delicious, I liked the Cuban the most. The sweet ones were also very delicious, I enjoyed the Cherry and cheese one. The kids got the birthday cake but it was a bit too sweet and my daughter didn't like the "tang". The taco one was also good. Definitely worth bringing home a dozen or so! They also had frozen goods that all looked good. read more

Small selection of bakery items. No donuts. I table of 8 seating. No coffee! Yikes! Kolaches we're jus ok.

If you want to come here for some of their specialty kolaches, you'll find limited parking and the location is easy to drive by as there is not much of a sign to see. However, once inside the small space you'll be impressed with how well it is arranged. There's actually a lot more to see here than their very unique take on their kolaches. I was surprised to see that they have five refrigerated/freezer doors of chef prepared meals to go along with some specialty dips. They also sell cupcakes, scones, dinner rolls and the biggest chocolate chip cookie I've ever seen. I was glad to see that you can even get a cuppa coffee with your purchase. I was surprised as I checked out with a credit card that I was not greeted with the usual tip screen that has become the norm. They also offer catering for weddings and have a tasting room off to the side for potential customers. The quality of the goods and the service found here is well worth seeking out and worthy of five stars. read more

Came here randomly because the other donut spot I liked was closed and I do not regret it!! It was a super cute place and it was slow on a Wednesday afternoon lol. They were also helpful with me picking out foods. Although it definitely wasn't the typical donuts I was looking for, Especially as someone who is not a deserts person, I love the variety of options! I ordered the boudain and cheese dough, a blueberry muffin, and a pumpkin spice cake ball. The boudain and cheese was delicious and the dough?? Really is good! lol. No but really the name is fitting because that was the star of the show. I am definitely long to try more of those options. The blueberry muffin was pretty good. I think it would've tasted better a bit warmed and it was a bit messy to eat though lo. The pumpkin cake ball tasted JUST like pumpkin pie! So it eas good if you're into that flavor lol read more

I came here an hour after opening today to take advantage of the Galveston Restaurant Week offer (3 sweet and 3 savory kolaches for $15). The kolaches were very good! My favorites were the fungus among us and okie dokie artichoke. The lady at the counter was nice and helped me out with some recommendations. The inside is cute, but didn't get to look around too much. Overall, I will be back! read more

Good dough? Great dough. The best dough. Placed an order over the phone for pickup and the lady who helped me was so friendly. For savory we tried the spinach & artichoke, mushroom cream cheese, pizza, and lumberjack kolaches. Bourbon peach and pineapple upside down cake were our sweet options. SOO good!! Perfectly soft and pillowy dough with flavorful ingredients. I wish I lived nearby so that I could eat these regularly! read more

We were in Galveston for the day and saw this place listed on Yelp, so we thought we would stop by. Very cute shop with very friendly staff. We ended up picking up quite a few baked goods. They were all delicious. This little shop also offers cooking classes if anyone is interested. Super cute concept and atmosphere. Definitely recommend read more

Great pizza! Nice staff and quality food. Will be eating here again and recommending to friends

Good Dough Kolache makes the drive down to Texas City worth it alone! I wish I had tried this place sooner! The shop is rather small and quaint, but you're immediately hit with that freshly baked dough smell as soon as you walk in. I believe the place is owned by the local legend, Chef Mary Bass. And I love how she helps out the local culinary students by having them work in her kolache shop for experience. As far as kolache flavors go, they rotate daily depending on what's in season. But we honestly couldn't decide what to get, so we literally got 1 of each flavor on a nice Sat morning. I believe we got 18 different kolaches for around $57 ish. All the kolaches are big, and easily like 4-5 bites each. There wasn't a single kolache we didn't love so honestly try them all! Our most notable favorites were "The sweet piggy," "The Mr. Mary's," "Georgia on my Mind," "The Fancy Nancy," and "The Bum Bum." Everything here is worth the try, and you can tell how much love they put into their kolaches. The only thing else that makes it better is washing it down with a good cup of coffee, or my personal favorite, chocolate milk. Enjoy! read more

My girlfriend and I shared an array of kolaches. For sweet kolaches we got apricot and salted caramel and for savory we got ham and cheese, chonky boy (mexican ground meat), and the Reggie (sausage and gravy). I did not like the dough or the fillings in any of the kolaches. I don't claim to be a kolache expert but I've never encountered this type of dough on any kolaches I've ever eaten- the texture was similar to canned biscuits. It was thick and dry and flavorless. The meat ones were filled with minced meat and it made the texture not enjoyable. The gravy in the Reggie was soaked up and there was no gravy in the filling to be found. Disappointed but was worth the try. read more

Yum yum!! We stopped in mid-morning on New Year's Day expecting the kolache selection to be pretty minimal. Our suspicions were correct but it worked out in our favor! I opted for the spinach artichoke kolache, which is not a combo I'd normally select -- and it was DELICIOUS. Super flavorful, perfect filling to bread ratio. My husband ordered the birthday kolache, which was also a hit! Unable to stop ourselves from perusing the pastry case, we also tried the caramel banana pudding and confetti crumb cake. Both were great! We will absolutely be back next time we're in town -- we'll just have to force ourselves out of bed a wee bit earlier to try the Reggy and Chonky Boy. Can't wait! read more

I love their kolaches, they've created the most creative and interesting flavors that I've seen! I've tried quite a few of them already, some that I really liked were the philly cheesesteak and the pumpkin kolaches. I've included a picture of what was available one day that I went. I think their menu changes everyday depending on what's in season, so take note of that. One thing I would recommend is to microwave them for 15-20 seconds before eating because it makes them even better! When I went yesterday at noon time, there were still so many available, so give them more business! read more

Incredible kolaches. Actually discussed retiring to Galveston just because this place was so good!

Great food! We tried a couple kolaches and they were all good. The biscuits and gravy kolache was a personal favorite for a great breakfast kolache. Prices are very reasonable as well. Definitely try this local spot in Galveston, you won't be disappointed! read more

Outstanding kolaches. Wide variety of offerings. Would love to keep this place a secret, but they deserve all the success they can handle.

March 31, 2021 Came in on the way to Webster from Galveston. Chef Mary Bass owns this location of sweet and savory's...she has culinary students and graduates running it. I've never been to 6th street here in Texas City... cute and by the looks of it... up and coming. Today, I got there at 11:40am and they didn't have a lot of product left but I managed to snag 2; the artichoke one "okie dokie" and the banana fosters "bananas on the bayou" one. Really wanted a traditional one...sausage, cheese, etc...but, you gotta come EARLY for those. Both were decadent...more like a dessert pastry...didn't feel like I was eating kolaches.

Loved the pimento cheese and pastries. Small place. Almost missed it! They had lots of humus choices too

Love love love this place. I have gone in for myself and walk away with at least three kolaches because I just can't decide and they're all delicious! I've also bought trays for teacher appreciation, work breakfasts, birthdays, and basically any time there's a breakfast party. The team does a great job of making sure you have what you need to make your day a little tastier. read more

Went for breakfast but I was not impressed. I have had great kolaches and with the reviews being 5 Stars we tried it and were disappointed. They seem to have other options in the fridge for picnics and such but as far as kolaches go, I don't feel they are the best that I have had. Dough seemed undercooked especially for the apply pie one. I am all about small businesses so just tweak a little here and there striving to be the best. read more

What a secret jewel this is for kolaches and baked goods. We love going to them every time we are in Galveston. Definitely worth your time to seek out. Sometimes we stop a second time on our way back to Dallas and fill the car with these amazing treats! read more
