    Island Breeze Smoothie and Pineapple Express Smoothie
    Caroline N.

    Stopped by on a beautifully breezy, sunny Thursday afternoon with some gal pals! Lolo Kai offers an extensive menu of smoothies, protein smoothies, smoothie bowls, and wraps or salads. I opted for the 16 oz island smoothie called "island breeze" (passion fruit juice, strawberries, peaches, pineapples)! It was refreshing and not ridiculously sweet like other smoothies can be. My only complaint about this smoothie recipe is that the peaches make the taste too "light" for me, instead of packing a hearty island taste. Side note: Lolo Kai has catered for one of my student organizations, and I tried a wrap. I don't remember which one it was, but I thought it was really bad. I won't let this distant memory affect the amount of stars I'm giving in this review, but I would personally only come here for smoothies due to this experience.

    Used to come here when they were over by UTMB so it's nice to see them in the old Kitchen Chick space and the business doing well. So parking yes you have to pay because it's downtown streets and it'll set you back a minimum of a dollar or so unless you park in front and run in and run out. The smoothie bowls we got were really delicious. The one with the peach base was the tastiest but the açaí one was also delicious. Toppings were fresh and plentiful and that granola was spot on. Everyone was super friendly and place was super cute including the little window spots where you could sit and eat, how unique! We needed a light lunch and this hit the spot!

    The Big Island Bowl - 16oz

    Solid açaí bowl from Lolo Kai. If you need something light, cold, refreshing, and a little sweet, an açaí bowl will satisfy your hunger. The big island has all the classic toppings but lots of other options to choose from. Counter service and everyone was friendly.

    We stopped in here for a light lunch. My friend ordered a salad and I ordered a sunrise bowl and it was fresh, light, and delicious.

    I am a big fan of Lolo Kai's acai bowls! My favorite bowl to order was the Big Island, which is moreso the classic bowl with a regular acai base and your typical fruit toppings (strawberries, bananas, and blueberries) with granola and coconut chips. What made this bowl so delicious is that the fruits in the bowl are drizzled with honey, making the flavor naturally sweet and it pairs perfectly with the tart acai smoothie base. The cashiers were very friendly and talkative with us, and were easy to make conversation with. They were helpful and patient with me with my questions about the menu since this was my first time trying Lolo Kai. The entire is small but very cute with an island aesthetic, but I enjoyed the outdoor seating to eat outside with the warm sun. This is definitely a snack staple for me in Galveston!

    This place was soo amazing! Dropped my on a beautiful Tuesday afternoon and ordered the Pineapple Express. It was so light and refreshing and absolutely exactly what I needed as a little post lunch sweet treat! The service was soo amazing as well. We were greeted by very positive employees who were so kind and patient. Will definitely come back again!

    Big island açaí bowl with chocolate chips
    Stephanie W.

    Umm where do I start? Can we talk about the clean ingredients? Truly high quality fruit that's blended so smooth and creamy. The bowls are not icy or chunky, like some places. The toppings are beautiful and delicious and you can totally customize as you see fit. The interior decor is so fun and funky. Local artists did custom paint on the walls with trendy tables and chairs. Super cool place to eat clean and hangout. The açaí bowls are pricy, but you get what you pay for. $15 for one snack is steep so it's definitely a splurge for me and not a regular dining spot. I like the big island with chocolate chips. They used to have these gorgeous wooden bowls and now only have plastic to go, which is smart as unfortunately people have sticky fingers for those beautiful bowls. If that price point works for you, man you gotta swing by and enjoy!!! The smoothies are less expensive but do not lack flavor or quality. The service is always attentive and friendly. They have a cool vibe and clearly care about high quality products and care.

    Energy acai bowl

    If you've read my reviews you probably know I'm a sucker for surf themed or Hawaiian themed places and let me tell you I found one with the true aloha spirit! Was looking for something healthy while in Galveston for business and ended up at Lolo Kai and couldn't be happier. They offer a wide variety of Acai bowls packed with fresh fruits and homemade granola, as well as smoothies and a few other beverage options. The energy bowl is my favorite as it's packed with some chocolate covered espresso beans on top. In tandem with the great bites, they have loads of space and complimentary wifi. Space includes a secluded area for studying that's a bit quieter and tucked away which was really nice for work purposes. Staff were polite and quick, be sure to plan ahead as there isn't too much parking aside from street parking around the area. I think my favorite part is the decor around the place with surfing posters and pictures and palm leaves, it created this tropical ambiance that I had been missing. Mahalo for a great time team!

    This restaurant is conveniently located downtown in the arts district. The ladies running this place were friendly and helpful. I was looking for something healthy and this hit the spot. I had the Island Breeze smoothie and Southwest Salad. The smoothie was excellent! So good. The salad was kind of plain but decent and fresh. They have a few tables inside, and they also have limited outdoor seating. I appreciated that they had a good clean restroom.

    veggie wrap

    So yummy! Got the hummus veggie wrap & some smoothies. Love how many vegan options this place has.

    Erica A.

    Love, love, LOVE this place. My sister and I make it a point to visit Lolo Kai every time we're in town. We've only had the smoothie bowls but they're SO good. They're the perfect texture and have all the fixings. You can't go wrong with any of the bowls but the Maui is my favorite. I recommend getting a scoop of protein in your bowl for some extra oomph. They're made to order so sometimes it takes a little longer to prepare but it's worth the wait. Grab a spoon, go sit outside and enjoy your bowl!

    Walking into La King's Confectionery is a bit like stepping into Willy Wonka's chocolate factory…read more Located on the Strand, this old-fashioned candy shop has just about every sweet you could ever imagine. From display case after display case filled with various chocolates and candies, to bins overflowing with colorful saltwater taffy, and machines busy making fresh popcorn and warm roasted nuts there's no shortage of sweet treats. You can stop by the classic soda fountain, or pick up something vintage ice cream counter, and even find a spot to pick up tea or coffee, this gem truly has it all.

I've been visiting since I was a little girl, and coming back reminded me exactly why it's such a staple on the Strand. This place has been part of Galveston for generations, and it still delivers that same magic. It's always busy, always full of energy, and there's truly something here for everyone. The candy shop alone is worth the stop--rows of old-fashioned sweets, fresh confections, and that nostalgic atmosphere you just don't find anymore. The divinity is divine, and the ice cream is just as good as I remembered. I had the lemon custard (so good!), my brother got a scoop of chocolate on a cone, and my friend ordered cinnamon. My mom insisted she didn't want anything...until she tried my friend's cinnamon. She loved it so much she immediately went and got her own, which says everything. And for $5 a scoop, two could easily share. This is one of those must-stop places when you're on the Island. Whether you're there for the ice cream, the candy, or just the experience, it never disappoints. A+.

After reading multiple reviews and comparing it to other local seafood restaurants in Galveston, we knew we had to go. We were seated with my Service dog, no problem. Mike immediately came and delivered water. It was hot outside. The decor is inviting and the bar area looked well stocked. We began with cocktails xtra Dirty Martini with hand stuffed blue cheese olives and for my husband a Maker's Mark bourbon . This gave us time to look over this incredible menu! Seafood is what we came for so we ordered 2 sharable items: soy, ginger octopus on crispy wonton and roasted beat walnut and fried goat cheese salad. We could have stopped there completely wowed. Both if us love Texas Redfish and it's so hard to get fresh seafood where we live so that caught our eyes. Husband ordered blackened and redfish over mushroom risotto and French style green beans. I could not resist a similar item blackened redfish over mushroom risotto and asparagus. We both were over the moon with the meaty blackened redfish FLAVORS! Risotto was perfectly cooked al dente and both veg choices were the perfect accompaniment! Honestly it had been a ling time since we had such a beautiful meal. Service was outstanding and he even picked up on a comment by my husband encouraging me to order whatever I wanted given it was a birthday dinner. So I was completely delighted when Mike showed up with the final surprise a Creamy NY style cheesecake. So I guess what I'm trying to say is this place was outstanding. You could not go wrong with a decision to have a great experience and upscale seafood meal at BLVD SEAFOOD.
