I happened to go down a different street on my way to OLLI's today, and what did I see? Galveston Bagel Company. I've heard from several on here that it was pretty good, so I decided to stop in and check it out.
Since I already had breakfast, I decided to just try one of their bagels and some coffee. I purchased a cinnamon raisin bagel, plain cream cheese, and black coffee. I had the bagel toasted and asked for "to go."
The service is counter service - order and pick up at the counter. You get a coffee cup and serve yourself the coffee from coffee urns in the back of the restaurant. The coffee was delicious! It had a very robust flavor, but not bitter at all. I do water my down as I like weak coffee, but I think I could have had it full tilt! So many times, strong coffee is bitter.
My bagel was scrumptious! It was toasted to perfection - crispy, crunchy on the outside. Chewy and delicious on the inside. The cinnamon flavor was just right and the vanilla cream cheese set it off perfectly.
My only complaint, and maybe not a complaint for others, is that I had to put my cream cheese on myself in the car. I would have preferred they do that in the restaurant, but I can see this either way. Maybe if I had asked they would have. It was just a pain to do in the car.
There is an outside patio which is dog friendly, so next time, I'm going to take my dog! There will definitely BE a next time! Maybe I'll try some of their other breakfast items. Highly recommended.
