Mosquito Cafe

This place is amazing. My fiance and I thought the other breakfast spot about 100 yards away from here was great, but this place is even better. We both had the bacon & cheese omelette and thought we likely could have split it.We got a side of cheese grits, and they were amazing. Coffee was strong and hot. The morning glory muffin reminded me of a reallly good slice of homemade carrot cake, without icing.Ask for a side of the chilis or they're in-house hot sauce. They are both incredible. This is a G-town gem and should be celebrated!

My husband and I, many years ago, went to Galveston for our anniversary. We wanted to get breakfast but we did not want to go to a tourist destination restaurant. After much searching we came across this locals favorite and decided to try it out. This was the first place where I tried a poached egg and it was PERFECT! I remember getting a cheesy biscotti to dip in my eggs yolk and...just mind blowing how good it was. Many times I have thought fondly of this place but haven't had the heart to check and see if it is still open since many tropical storms and floods have hit Galveston since our last visit. Covid happened since our last visit too! I mentioned this place to a friend and she got excited over the building. Hearing her mention the building, I searched the business. Sure enough, it is still open!!! I now need to make the trip back out to this delicious memory lane.

The food was incredible! Everything came out quick and was hot! The service is what I really want to compliment. Unfortunately, their soda machine wasn't quite up to par. They gave me a different kind and changed some things and it was still flat tasting. Not only did they give me an orange juice, a man went next door and got me a Diet Coke in a can. They went way above and beyond. This is what makes people come back to the already great food they serve!This is my first time in Galveston but I'm quite confident that I'll never come here without stopping at the Mosquito Cafe!

We were on the hunt for a cozy breakfast spot to cure our hunger after a night of partying...and this place did not disappoint!It was pretty packed but the line moves fast and they have plenty of seating.They have a huge menu, so take your time and look around at what everybody else is eating. The staff is super friendly and will happily help you decide.Will definitely make this a regular stop on any future trips to Galveston. Highly recommend it! Almost makes me want to be nicer to mosquitos now...

"One bite is all it takes" is the slogan for the Mosquito Cafe. I thought the name of this brunch restaurant was interesting, and the slogan even more so. There is a very negative stigma against mosquitoes, so the name choice is a bold move. When my friend read the slogan, he said one bite from a mosquito is all it takes to ruin his day. When I read it, I instantly thought that one bite is all it takes to give you malaria, West Nile virus, dengue fever, etc. Despite its morbid name, the Mosquito Cafe is a lovely brunch spot. You order at the counter then sit down at a table. It was very crowded when we came, and there was a long line. However, it moved quickly. Although the indoor seating was full, the staff were very efficient in clearing out tables as customers left. I really appreciated how kind the manager was as she came to talk to customers in line and let us know that the staff were working hard to find us seating. There was seating available outside with fans, but we opted to wait for a table inside as it was sweltering outside. She assured us that the food comes out quickly after you order, and it did in fact come out very quickly. You can really tell when the restaurant staff have an attitude of caring towards their customers, and it shone through.I ordered the bacon cheddar omelette ($16.77), which was a large portion that I could barely finish. The egg was very thick, and it was a tasty omelette. I would have liked if there were vegetables in it. There was a veggie omelette option, but it was the same price without any meat. The breakfast potatoes were so delicious. I liked how they were more potato-like than the breakfast potatoes at other restaurants, which tend to be more oily and french fry-like. My friend got the breakfast bowl, and he finished it after taking a few breaks. He said it's bulking season.

We were in town for the morning getting ready to cruise. Everywhere else had a crazy 1 hour wait for breakfast except for Mosquito Cafe. So we just lucked into a 15 min wait. You order at the counter and then pick your seats. I was happy that they had someone coordinating the tables. Otherwise, you get a group camp out at a table while waiting to get in. The inside is not huge but has enough tables to accommodate. We were completely shocked at how quickly our food came out too. They bring it to your table.I had the bacon cheddar omelette which was really good. The eggs were just slightly overcooked in the omelette but still good. My two kids had the breakfast bowls and said they liked it. My wife loved her shrimp and grits. The shrimp was way overcooked but still good. A little disappointed in $4 sodas. Considering the mimosa was only $2.50 more. We would definitely come back. Great food and very accommodating.

Stop before boarding Royal Caribbean Voyager of the Seas @mosquitocafegalveston. Dad and I shared the Thai Noodle Bowl and Hubby had the Spinach Pasta! Great lunch place in Galveston.

Nice atmosphere with counter serve ordering. Serve breakfast all day, salads, sandwiches and some entrees. I had the Plain Ol Breakfast with scrambled eggs and bacon. The eggs were fluffy, the bacon properly cooked and the herb potatoes absolutely delicious. They also serve baked goods from the bakery across the street. Service limited but good. Nice experience.

Boy does this location live up to its name. A dining experience here is sure to be accompanied by little bugs flying around you. Okay that's a bit of an overstatement but there are a few flies here and there. The food itself though was absolutely delicious. The service was fast and efficient and our waiter was incredibly helpful. There was a bit of wait before we were sat but that is understandable seeing as it is one of the few dining spots in the area. Overall a good dining experience that my family and I enjoyed!

Highly recommend!! The service was top notch and the food was even better. Some of the best pancakes I've ever had!!!
