I had the kick'n chicken sandwich. It was phenomenal!!! It was served on freshly baked jalepeno bread. The pastry & dessert display was oh so tempting, but, this huge sandwich was impossible to finish or leave room for dessert. The neighborhood where it is located is worth a look as well....so quaint...just what I like to see in Galveston.

Food here is ab-so-lu-tly delicious. Looks like a mainly local hangout. Location not on seawall or the Strand. Pick up your menu on way to a table, place order at counter and wait for some really good food. My sister, the Muffatta Queen, was totally NOT disappointed. I had the grilled veggie wrap and it was really good. We were... More

We came here for breakfast two days in a row. My wife stuck with 'The Usual' with a biscuit both mornings and I ate 'Pawpaw's Breakfast' with a biscuit one morning and a croissant the next. The food is super fresh and cooked just right. I only wish we could have stuck around for lunch. The atmosphere is down to... More

We stopped here on our way home and wish we had stopped sooner. We would have eaten there again. THe homemade scones were so different than what we have in Iowa. They were lighter and great tasting. THe breakfast sandwiches were also very good and the prices were very resonable. And yes the bacon was good!!!

This was my regular breakfast haunt in Galveston. It was perfect - frienly, good food, nice atmosphere. Well worth the walk from the Tremont House hotel. My regulat breakfast was fried eggs, bacon and lovely home-made bread. Only thing to watch - advertised 7 am opening seems a little variable. One day it was 7:20; another 7:45! Worth the wait...

We tried this for our 2nd Galveston breakfast after recommendations from locals. It was simply o.k. nothing special. Pricey actually for no atmosphere and serve yourself. I had the 1/2 order of french toast, hubby had the egg white and sausage omelette. no sides. $21.00. I would skip this place and go back to Sunflower Bakery which was beyond fabulous.
