Cute! Convenient! Amazing Pecan coffee! Drive thru for your caffeine fix! Next time you are on the island, try it! I'm trying the biscuit and gravy or muffins next time! We were in a hurry to catch the yummy coffee before closing time!

Cute drive thru; service was slow but it seemed that our food was made fresh, and tasted delicious!

Perfect lattes and delicious breakfast burritos, served up by the friendliest husband and wife duo on the Gulf Coast.

Anytime I'm here and this place is open I'm stopping. I have tried different things across many…read morevisits and each one was delicious. I finally got to try the gelato last night and got a scoop of mango and a scoop of coconut. It was perfect. I have tasted a ton of flavors of gelato because they are so helpful giving samples to make sure you get the best for you. It's my most common and favorite stop as a visitor, in part because I'm typically traveling related to cancer treatment and fruit drinks are tasty no matter what havoc the treatment causes in my body.

This place was horrible. The menu was limited, they were out of nearly all their lunch items,…read morebecause of lack of ingredients and the customer service was absolutely terrible. There was a terrible attitude going on while ordering, and the manager was rude, uncouth and completely unprofessional. The situation with my Mangonada was ridiculous. I simply wanted to replace it with a different drink because I barely had any of it and didn't want to waste my money. I was told a replacement wasn't possible, and I accepted that. I then decided to order a different drink instead, but the manager approached me, raised her voice and repeatedly blamed me for ordering the original drink while in the process of ordering a new drink. She kept bringing up how I couldn't get a refund when I wasn't even asking for one. I just wanted a different drink! The way I was treated was completely unnecessary and unacceptable. after that, she was clearly mad and was talking to her employee in a different language and was getting heated and was giving us terrible looks I was really scared because her back was turned, and she looked like she was putting something into my drink as well I would not recommend this place to anyone. Between the limited menu, unavailable items and horrible management, this was a waste of time and a terrible customer experience. This place is not even close or worth your top dollar.

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.

This place took me back to my childhood when you go down to the local corner store for an ice cream…read morebar on a hot day. Located on the island of Bolivar near Crystal Beach, the store is vintage turquoise. We stopped by to purchase a beach parking pass because you can actually drive on the island beaches. The inside is not fancy, no big box store displays. The lady behind the counter was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. She told us how and where to look for sharks teeth on the beach. They sell iced down beer and other beverages perfect for a hot day in Texas. They also are set up with coffee and fountain drinks. We found sand toys and a small amount of fishing gear. There was a limited selection of grocery essentials. And, of course, snack foods. Outside, they sell Shamrock gas. The only rest rooms were a port a potty outside. Oh my! But I still give them 5 stars because they are friendly, had what I needed and took me back to my childhood. A definite oasis near the beach.

The new owner made me cry when I went in and saw a piece from my Uncle's store with an original picture framed in the cabinet. He asked I was OK and I told the the memories of the store and where everything was way back when. He was delightful, customer friendly and his customers are like family to him. He has a clean store, well stock shelves and takes pride of his store. I wanted to buy a Zero Sugar Soda drink and a water. He wouldn't let me pay. So, I bought a few Lottery tickets (I never do), but if I won, he would too. It was the least I could do to thank him. Of course, we stop in all the time now. I am glad he is the owner. My Uncle would have been pleased.

I stumbled upon Seawall Coffee Company while on vacation in Galveston, and I'm so glad I stopped…read morein! It's tucked away in a very unassuming little strip of shops, but the inside is cozy and inviting. What really impressed me was their GF and vegan bakery selection. I've honestly never seen such an extensive selection of gluten-free and vegan baked goods at a coffee shop. Major hats off to them for offering so many options! They also have a huge drink menu, which made it very difficult to decide what to order. I ended up getting one of their pumpkin drinks (I can't remember the exact name), and it was really good. It was a little sugary/grainy at the bottom, but overall I enjoyed it. I also tried the chocolate-dipped chocolate cookie. It was probably my least favorite part of the visit. The flavor was fairly average and the cookie was a little on the hard side. That said, there were so many other bakery items I wanted to try, so I'd definitely give another one a chance on a future visit. Overall, Seawall Coffee is a great little find, especially if you're looking for GF or vegan options. I'd definitely stop by again to try more of their bakery selection and drinks!

One time for drinks and another time for breakfast and drinks. I had a piña colada smoothie the first time. It was good. Nice and smooth tasting. Everyone else ordered coffee. They all loved them. The breakfast was great too. The breakfast burritos were super tasty. I had a lemon bar. Oh yeah! So good!!! The young lady was very nice and helpful. Definitely stopping here again.
