I have to be honest here: if there are any other coffee houses in Galveston it wouldn’t matter because there’s only one MOD and the coffee, nibbles, staff, friendliness, artful environment, MOD swag, community bulletin boards, post office street aura, people watching value, and the presence of an abundance of canines makes this the only place to be. Rather it makes it the only place you’ll wanna be.
It is a daily ritual after I hit the beach to hit MOD. Oh, and Pro Tip here: you’re gonna wanna pay for two hours of parking so just go ahead and do it. If you wanna check out the bookstore next-door, the Witchery, are any of the several fine art shops, you can always add more time. 👍🏻
On this particular visit I had my usual, which consists of a Cubano mocha and a survivor bar (pictured). Insanely delicious together!
Sometimes I just have a doppio Cubano espresso. If you’re unfamiliar with a Cubano, it’s is an espresso draw which has a little brown turbanado sugar in the espresso puck with the coffee grind. It’s Magnifico!
And if you’re also unfamiliar with the survivor bar, boy are you in for a treat! It’s essentially the everything bar: coconut, raisins, chocolate chips, oatmeal, cranberries, apricots, almonds, peanut butter chips, and pecans—all packed down into a dense, chewy, chunky, sweet, delicious block. I don’t always get the Survivor Bar, because sometimes I get breakfast somewhere else—but when I *do* get the survivor bar, I am *never* disappointed!
Come on down and take your pick of terrific seats inside under the tall ceilings and fans or dine alfresco under the shaded pergola out front and take in pets with their folks and the murals on the walls across the street.
I give it 999 stars! I think you will too.
