Omg. This is some of the best ice cream I've ever had! I loved the vanilla cornbread though I only had it as a taster. Scoops are more than generous so I would stick with one unless you are sharing with someone. Milk comes from a dairy in Kemah.

Chocolate Fudge Cake

We were in Galveston for a girls weekend and had The Milk Bar on our must-try list. We were so excited after seeing all the cute photos and reviews! 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.

This place is obviously a cash grab. We got a milkshake that was probably around 8ounces for $10. (It wasn't anything special) the service was fine. We weren't greeted but we did get our stuff brought out at a reasonable time. The brownie mousse had a days old texture. Great for pictures though!! Art gallery was not open. P.s. Business Owner does not take criticism well.. lol

What an experience! Cool Cow Creamery is a MUST while you're on the island. Not only the delicate treats, the phenomenal customer service, but the atmosphere and art! The fresh pastries made by a German baker are divine! The ice cream is so smooth and delicious. It's very kid friendly with lots of art on the walls, abundance of selection of snacks/sweets, and a cute cow coloring station. They also have some snacks like fresh popcorn and pretzels. A huge case of cold drinks, and a beautiful coffee bar. Next time I'm getting a coffee and a danish - the perfect pair! They also have a punch card for a free ice cream after your 10th order. What a perk! We came late so the upstairs art gallery was closed but I can't wait to explore it next time at an earlier visit.

Pistachio muffin
Kelly H.

I was nervous when I walked up because the sign said closed but we saw people in there so we went in and asked if they were open and they said yes, glad we did! The employees were very kind. We got key lime pie, sugar cookie, petite fruit pie, almond twist, pistachio muffin, strawberry cream cheese muffin, caramel latte, and vanilla latte. We had our whole family with us if you can't tell! Lol The only thing I didn't like was the almond twist, wouldn't recommend that! I had to go back for something else to eat, hence the pistachio muffin. They didn't offer any gluten free options so I had my son get a cheesecake and just not eat the bottom crust. But a GF option would have been nice. They do serve ice cream! Steph, the part owner, took us upstairs to show us the studio and art gallery which was so amazing and I can't wait for that to be up and running! We wish y'all the best in all your endeavors! I really hope this places grows and blossoms!

By far the best ice cream while visiting Galveston! I wish it had more hours, because we had to wait until day 3 to try it! We sat outside to eat!

Surprised to come across this place. Stopped in here looking for cake but also found creamy ice cream. Cute inside too

Cow patty crunch
Samah K.

I've been driving past the cows on Winnie St for a while, so when I found out that they opened a coffee shop/ice cream parlor here I was super excited to check it out! Very cute interior and very friendly staff. I got the Cow Patty Crunch ice cream and I liked it a lot! It was a mix of cookies n cream and Rocky road. I loved the pecans in it, really added a good taste! I'm excited to come back and try their coffee and study here!

Delicious pastries & ice cream

What a deal on Saturday. Buy 5 huge muffins and get one free for $20.00. All the flavors were so good!!

Love coffee? Love a cafe where you could sit with a good…read morebook, and sip on a good drink? Mod Coffeehouse is a great place to do just that. Take your laptop with you and post up for hours. 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.

Mod Coffeehouse is a must go to every time I come down and visit Mom on the island! My favorite…read morecoffee is the hummingbird which has lavender, raspberry, and coconut but they have plenty more unique coffees to choose from. 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!

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!

8.12.26 This is a cute coffee shop in Galveston…read more They sell breakfast all day and some pastries. We stopped here twice during our visit. 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.
