You could sit with friends, chit-chat over some of their tasty pastries or your favorite coffee. They have a wide selection of teas if you're a tea lover like me. And if coffee is your thing, you will not be disappointed. On days when the weather is beautiful, you can sit outside at one of the many tables that line the sidewalk. It gives Parisian vibes.

The vibes are totally cool and laid back with board games to play with in the side room. Cool local art is usually on the walls that is for purchase and even more awesome is the murals across the street to view while eating on the pasto area outside or walk across and pose with them like we like to do! It stays pretty busy but the coffees come out fast so no complaints about the service. My mom and daughter are obsessed with the coffee cake and be careful cause often they run out or if you're too early they aren't ready yet to be served! But I personally love the peanut butter bars!

Personally, I'm a Dutch Bros girl, so I was definitely a little skeptical when I saw they had "power" drinks. But I took a chance and got the Beach Dream, and WOW--it was so good! Especially on a hot day when you're already melting outside, this was exactly what I needed. I was genuinely sad when the drink was gone. One thing I didn't realize about this location is that it seems to be a popular spot for college students and people working on their laptops. There's tons of seating, and it seems like it would be a great place to meet up or get some work done, but most of the seats were full when I went. I was there on a Saturday, though, so I'm sure I caught it at peak time. Overall, I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to coming back and trying another flavor!

The coffee shop feels like a beach house that was turned into a cafe (at least downstairs) and I absolutely loved the vibe!!! There's garden area with plenty of seating, and if you head toward the back you can even take the stairs up to a second floor seating area in the back house. The vibey was so cozy and beachy!! I had heard they take their matcha seriously so I ordered the strawberry matcha. It was amazing and definitely lived up to the hype. We got there around 10 am and it was pretty quiet, but after about 30-40 minutes people started steadily coming in and it got surprisingly busy. I loved loved loved this place and will definitely be back :)

Its authentic in presentation and nondescript in terms of, if you're looking fir a Starbucks ambiance, this is not it. If want truer to Galveston and raw, come sit a while.

The cafe features plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well as easy parking either on the street or a lot behind the storefronts. Plenty of customers were busy studying or working, giving it a cozy atmosphere. While cute, the menu availability was rather disappointing.

I had been looking forward to ordering a Seasonal Smoothie Bowls, only to discover it was no longer offered since Basin Bistro next door now offers them instead. They were also out of fruit for the smoothies. In the end I was able to order a smoothie substitute.

It felt kind of cluttered. I expect they must have a patio setup on nicer days, but on this day all that equipment was taking up all the space right inside the front entrance. I'm not much on sweets. I can be talked into an interesting cookie, but this was not the place I expected and I don't think they sold cookies or interesting milk flavors from what I could tell. They do sell sketchy looking hot dogs and pizza. I'm not sure who orders that. It seems like they specialize in ice cream. I tried one flavor and it was pretty sweet for me. I'm not much on sweets so that's not hard to do for me. I stood around letting my wife pick her flavor. I would have waited outside given how cramped the space felt, but it was pouring rain. My wife mentioned the place has artwork and stuff. I didn't see that and didn't know to expect it. I also heard there is a wine bar somewhere on the premise. I may have to come back and give that a try.

We saw that and decided to leave. Not the workers' faults! It was a Saturday morning on the Strand - would expect the staff to be better supported.

Not to worry, from the merch to the pastry case, to the products from local artisans, there's plenty to discover while you wait. I personally visited the morning of the 5th of July, after all of the fourth of July dwellers sobered up and stopped in for some caffeine to fuel the drive home. That being said, I waited quite a while to order, which gave me time to explore the menu...well kind of. Their menu lives on a wall and can be difficult to read from a distance. Additionally, their specials are handwritten at the til. While I'd love a digital copy of their menu for instances like these, I did just fine after exploring various Yelp menu photos. I ended up with a Sabrina on ice, avocado toast, fruity pebbles rice krispy and chocolate chunk cookie. Fair warning, everything in the pastry case looks fresh and homemade, so prepare to treat yourself. Shoutout for their emphasis on vegan and gluten-free offerings. Visually the avocado toast had me worried, but everything bagel seasoning has a way of curing all wrongs, if those "wrongs" in question are bland food. I found myself happily gobbling it down after a few initially hesitant bites. The rice krispy was fine, and I'm looking forward to warming the cookie and reporting back. While I'll go for a more traditional coffee next time, I'll certainly be back. I'm hoping for a smile, greeting, or positive energy from the staff next go around. Fingers crossed.

The place had a lively, cozy vibe that fit the day perfectly. I ordered a unique craft beer from Charleston, SC, which was such a cool find on tap in Galveston. My family tried the boozy hot chocolate, wine, and a couple of drinks from their solid coffee selection. The staff was friendly and kept things moving smoothly even with the festival crowd. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5--is the limited snack options. It would've been nice to pair the drinks with a few more bites, especially during such a busy event. Overall, though, Proletariat is definitely worth a stop if you're exploring the Strand. Great drinks, great vibe, and a perfect little retreat during Dickens on the Strand.

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.

Galveston Bagel Company has a huge assortment of fresh bagels if you can think of it, they probably have it. We visited on a Monday morning and even though the line was long it moved quickly. The aroma of freshly baked bagels meet you as soon as you walk through the door and is so inviting. We ordered the Pesto in Paradise (one of their summer specialty bagels), the Chopped Brisket Panini, and a Blueberry Bagel with Cream Cheese. Every single item was amazing! They were filled with meat, eggs, fresh vegetables, and flavorful condiments. The bagels were hot, soft, and incredibly fresh, with every bite tasting better than the last. My only regret is not ordering another breakfast bagel to take on the road. The shop offers a few indoor seats along with outdoor seating, which is a nice option if the weather is good. On the day we visited it was raining and gloomy and the patio was still full. The only downside to our visit was the rude male employee at the front counter. Thankfully, the female cashier who helped us was sweet, welcoming, and friendly, which helped make the overall experience a great one. I would absolutely recommend Galveston Bagel Company again and again. It's definitely worth the stop if you're in Galveston! ---- They also have a coffee shop in the inside of the bagel shop you should give a try I give them five stars across the board. The coffee there is tasty, affordable with great customer service.
