Best Restaurants in Port Aransas, Texas | Eater Houston

"After being destroyed by Hurricane Harvey in 2017, Coffee Waves rebuilt its Port Aransas location. Now, it’s stronger than ever and holds the title of the island’s oldest coffee shop. Lines often snake out the door on weekends, but the wait is well worth it. The menu spans espresso-based drinks, “Energy Waves” beverages, bagels with homemade cream cheese, paninis, wraps, and snacks like peanut butter protein bites. For something sweet, grab a scoop (or two) of gelato in flavors like Coke float, strawberry pineapple, or blackberry white mocha. For those needing a beach read, find a charming bookstore tucked into a corner of this spacious coffee shop." - Brianna Griff
