    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.

    And I really like hotdogs! Just not in my donuts.

    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!

    Chocolate mousse and (almost headless) gingerbread man
    Marian G.

    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.

    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.

    Various kolaches with fun names

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    My husband suggested we give this a try, which surprised me because he universally hates bagels…read more "Too chewy." Well, this was an excellent stop. Bagels are more bready vs chewy. As a result, my husband loved it! The savory bagels were more to our liking - particularly the cheddar Jalapeno and the everything bagel. 10/10 would order and have these shipped if I could.

    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.
