If I have to give a constructive feedback, perhaps the baristas can be a little bit friendlier? Both of them seem very unhappy and was annoyed with every question I had (and mind you, I only asked 2 questions to confirm the drinks...). It was crowded though, perhaps they were just stressed out.

I did request for their Matcha latte with 2 shots of espresso since I was suffering from a caffeine headache-3 days of little to no caffeine lol thats on me. The gentleman accommodated my ask and I am forever grateful. Supporting locals is my thing but I will state when things are questionable. 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.

Mocha Latte was good. Was expecting a traditional coffee place with indoor and outside seating but…read morethis was a "rough" exterior seating with a small indoor area with barista inside making drinks. Wonder what it's like in the winter? It did have a bathroom, but I had to walk up long stairs to a sketchy area (equipment). Overall good I guess if you don't want a more trendy place. The barista was ranting to a customer while I sat at the bar.

I looked at the menu to see what was offered. I went to the counter to order. From the Coffee Menu section, I ordered an Espresso for 2.75. From the same section, I ordered a Drip Coffee for 2.75. From the display case, I got a Sugar Cookie. We sat down at a table. The Espresso had a sharp, but enjoyable flavor. The Drip Coffee had a pleasant temperature. It was smooth. The Sugar Cookie was a delight. I enjoyed every bite. The service was friendly. I didn't have any issues. Overall, I'm glad I stopped here. This place was excellent. I would definitely go again.

It's a cute little coffee shop that has a wide selection of drinks and a few sweet treats to accompany them. They offer alternative milk options so I like getting a hot cocoa with oat milk.

Originally wanted to stop by for coffee before the beach, but they don't open until 10, so we came back after lunch for dessert. The place is super cute--the cow wall art is adorable, and there's a little table out front for kids to enjoy their ice cream. We were greeted right away by a really sweet lady who came around the counter to explain all the pastries. Great customer service! We ended up getting a few pastries to try, but honestly, we were all pretty disappointed. The chocolate fudge cake slices were dry and hard, like they'd been sitting out too long. For $9.50 a slice, we expected something way better. The muffins were okay--not as dry--and the ice cream was just alright. Overall, it's a super cute spot with great service, but the desserts didn't live up to the hype. Glad we tried it, but probably wouldn't go back for the sweets.

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.
