Galveston Breakfast

[scubaslayer]

I remember reading a review on the Royal board a couple of years ago that had some amazing pictures from a cafe near the port (chocolate croissant and eggs benedict). I can't find it now but was trying to find a great spot for breakfast on embarkation day. Will also gladly accept food suggestions for lunch and dinner for the day before but my family usually likes to go to The Spot.

Mosquito Cafe on 14th St is wonderful.  14th is the road to RCL terminal.

The Sunflower Cafe on 14th street is very good.

Sunflower Cafe is fantastic. It is our go to breakfast place when we are in Galveston.

I actually remembered enough small details to find the review in question. The pictures posted were from Sunflower Cafe, so going to try to convince the family to go there.

You’ll be glad you did!

Sunflower can be slow, backed up, and loud

Probably going the day before the cruise and not morning of. That way we have time to wait. Every good cafe and diner is loud and crowded on a weekend.

Sunflower Cafe was excellent last week. Go early. Started filling up by 8:30 am

 

Dinner was very nice at Willy G’s

Just an FYI for anyone wanting to dine a a local restaurant, Willie G's is part of the Landry's conglomerate, a national chain. Go to enough Landry's various concepts and you'll find the food is more alike than different.  And, yes, I know Landry's is owned by Tilman Fertitta, a Galveston native, but don't expect any of his locations on the island to be any different than the same ones any other place.

Listen, being in Canada I really enjoyed the shrimp platter I had at WillyG’s.  We just do not have this near my home.
