We had an indulgent snack this afternoon. Order various sizes for various occasions, and leave happy once you've picked them up and taken a bite from their delightful store. The Strawberries & Cream and Lemon Flavor Bundts are our favorites.
Leslie G — Google review
Super disappointed in my recent visit! I have been a loyal customer for a while now. Recently made a purchase “online” (didn’t know there is a $2.49 fee for ordering online) for my daughters birthday. She wanted a pink Peony (added $7) on her cake so I placed the order online. I know I chose a pink one but for whatever reason it showed I ordered a cream one (didn’t even know they came in cream). I check out the cake which is nicely wrapped in cling wrap and notice the cream peony sitting on top. I was positive I ordered pink so I went back to the shop to ask if they could switch it to pink. Spoke to the “trainee” and the person in charge and she denied my request to change out the top, non edible, non touched cream peony. She said I would have to buy another one. I can understand if this was an edible part of the cake but not being able to switch it out just seems ridiculous to me and those whom I’ve shared this experience with. Additionally as a long time customer, I feel that switching out a $7 peony shouldn’t have been that big of a deal for a loyal patron.

Dani was so welcoming and there were so many bundt flavors to choose from ! My favorite - pineapple upside down was not available, but I decided on lemon. I will always enjoy a fun trip to Nothing Bundt cakes.

This bakery is too cute for Corpus Christi!!!!! I found them through YELP advertising and I am VERY glad I did! They have the cutest decor i have yet to see in town. It's very small but extremely cute! It's a shame they don't have a sitting area. This place is easily over looked because it's in the center of a VERY busy shopping plaza. I looked at their digital menu and was VERY impressed. The girl at the counter was very friendly and asked me if I wanted to sign up for their E Card. They give you a FREEBIE on your birthday. I ordered the velvet cake which was EXTREMELY delicious. The frosting was a little over powering though. unlike other bakeries you could taste the freshness in the cup cake. Their displays were GORGEOUS! Overall it's a VERY delightful little bakery which specializes in CAKES! I felt silly when I walked up to the counter and asked for a Blueberry Danish!

I've had their cakes before, and they are great I've never been inside the store and it was nice very small, but their customer service is horrible. Makes me rethink purchasing again. Hope it gets better. Cakes are really good.

If you're on the hunt for a unique dessert experience, look no further than Rock and Rollin. This delightful ice cream shop takes inspiration from Bangkok's vibrant cuisine, offering a mesmerizing spectacle as they transform liquid flavor bases into rolled ice cream right before your eyes. You can choose from an array of mix-ins like fruits, candies, or even nostalgic cereals to create your perfect treat.
This place has such a unique and interesting ice cream experience!! I loved all the choices available and that you could select your own creation too. Service was excellent. They were busy when we went in, even with that our order didn’t take long and it was delicious! Will definitely be going back.

Rock and Rolling is a small shop with a few tables inside, so seating is pretty limited and it can feel a bit crowded if there are several groups at once. The atmosphere is fun and casual, with a unique experience of watching the ice cream rolls being made right in front of you — which kids especially enjoy. The ice cream itself was okay — the flavors were good, but not particularly unique or memorable. Presentation was nice and it’s fun to watch the process, but overall, the taste didn’t fully match the excitement of the experience. One thing to keep in mind is that the prices are on the higher side for what you get. It’s a fun spot to visit at least once for the experience, especially if you’ve never tried rolled ice cream before, but probably not somewhere I’d go out of my way to visit regularly.

The ice cream was really lovely. ♡The workers were amazing and really easygoing. It's a cute place to go with your partner, friends, or family, but make sure to bring a cozy outfit if you get easily cold; it's quite chilly in there. Overall, service was more than amazing, and prices are good too.

A great place to go for a family ice cream night for sure!!. So many different options to choose from and the option to create your own! We all loved it and the price was not bad at all! Definitely recommend the taco one but they were all really good!

I had a great experience😁. That have a great friendly staff that works effectively with one another to get orders out fast while keeping a smile on their face. I been wanting some rolling ice cream like this sadly I live all the way in Carrollton Texas now and we don’t have this location near me. I enjoyed it while I was out there. I do feel they should wear something to cover their hair as they prepare ice cream or all things. I was worried the guys long hair would get into my ice cream but maybe I’m crazy and too much of a germaphobe😅.

Yummy Tummy Cheesecakes is a small shop located on Kostoryz Road in Corpus Christi, offering a variety of delicious desserts. The place has received high praise from visitors for its mouthwatering cheesecakes and other sweet treats. Customers have also raved about the assortment of desserts available, making it a perfect spot to satisfy your sweet tooth. In addition to cheesecakes, they offer fruit salads with various decadent flavors.
I haven't been there in years recently I decided to stop by to see if they had anything sugar-free I ordered the sugarless New York style cheesecake I must say I was surprised it tastes very good, considering it's keto. I can't have any sugar. And there are times that I crave some sort of sweetness. I was very happy that they also had a sugarless strawberry glaze. Natural sugar from fruits is okay. So I must say I was very pleased. The customer service there is extremely pleasant. Thank you again yummy tummy cheesecake for making me smile once again. It was also given a gift for having to wait a short while when getting my cheesecake in order. Thank you again for everything

We had the German chocolate cake, chocolate cake flan, and strawberry tres leches—everything was amazing! The chocolate cake itself was so good it didn’t even need frosting (though the frosting was great too). The strawberry tres leches was incredible—the texture, the flavor, the lightness, everything. My mom got the sugar-free cheesecake, and that was delicious too. Next time, I definitely want to try the key lime cheesecake. Honestly, I’m glad this place is three hours away lol otherwise, I’d be there all the time!

If you've recently eaten at Snoopys Pier or are returning from the Island or beach, make sure to visit Scoopys Veranda for a unique cold treat. Indulge in a scoop of ice cream or try one of their distinctive desserts such as the Chocolate Barnacle. Located at 13313 South Padre Island Drive, this no-frills frozen dessert shop offers a perfect combination of warm sun, ocean scent, and refreshing treats. Take in the ocean view while enjoying your snack.
I’ve been to three ice cream shops in town and this is my number one choice so far. I like coming here because I can have my ice cream while watching the sunset witch is super cool and it has a romantic vibe. They have other desserts that I haven’t tried but the place smells delicious. Whenever I think about getting an ice cream, this is the place that comes to my mind first! There’s a restaurant nearby as well.
Analtina P — Google review
Neat atmosphere but prices are insane. We ate next door and prices were reasonable so we didn’t think too much about it even though prices were not posted for the ice cream. They had blue bell ice cream so again, didn’t think much about it like I would if it was homemade or something fancy. They took my order scooped everything up and THEN told me my total. $29 and some change for a single scoop in a cone, a double scoop cone and a small sundae. It seemed a little bit like a tourist trap at that point and had I known pricing before they had everything scooped I would have definitely changed our order. I hate to sound crass but once everything took place it seemed intentional. Thankfully I can afford it but not every family that happens to stop in as they are traveling can manage a $30 (or more) I e cream stop for run of the mill ice cream with fairly small portions on top of that.
Jennifer H — Google review
Nothing amazing, service, tables. Interior. Asked about the pics on the wall, and the girls were like, “huh? We don’t know if they’re historical or what…” ice cream was overpriced. We had 4 individual single cups and it was pricey. I think over 30, if I remember correctly. We will not return. We just walked here from next door after having dinner. Save your money… check out other ice cream shops in town. This is only a spot for now, because of the obligatory ice cream stop after dinner on vacay. Even if it’s Blue bell, I’d save my money and grab a pint of ice cream at stripes and sit on the beach…
Sharon R — Google review
Very disappointing. We are always on the search for "Boozy Ice Cream" so we made sure to stop by for a quick snack... only to find they were out of our first two choices. Now, that in itself, isn't really a bad thing when at a local shoppe... but when added to the, shall we just say "lackluster" attitude of the young woman behind the counter (not to mention the truly awful karaoke coming from next door) and it simply changed the entire experience. We found a couple of flavors we decided to go with, and while tasty, were nowhere near up to par with what we have found in other spots. The view while we ate was certainly the highlight (if only I had known to bring ear muffs). I'm going to go with a simple "Your Mileage May Vary" for this review... perhaps we simply stopped by at the wrong time.
Tim V — Google review
I was sold on the place the moment I opened the door and smelt the freshly made waffle cones, which of course I partook in. Then the fun flavors were a nice surprise, I opted for the triple chocolate which hit the spot and left me with the best chocolate mustache that was totally worth it! Getting to sit and enjoy the water was definitely an added perk (that you pay for in the price of ice cream as it is higher) but worth it as an experience in addition to the unique flavor options. I plan to come back for another scoop!
Kendra K — Google review
Visited this place many times before and I’ll keep going because the ice cream is just stellar. The interior is very small and there’s limited places to sit but that’s not a problem because the view in the outside is amazing, especially at sunset. Great service and the ice cream is amazing! Definitely recommend.

First time here was a couple of weeks ago to try some dessert and it was awesome! The barnacle was a nice presentation of a sugar cookie on bottom of cookies and cream ice cream, chocolate mousse on top, garnished with whipped cream, a mini waffle cone and cherry on top. Fun and a great view!

Staff were unfriendly and it was Blue Bell ice cream. Blue Bell is good but it was an Ice Cream shop so I figured they made it in house. We left without buying anything and went to HEB instead. The atmosphere in there just felt awful.

Coffee Waves is a popular coffee shop in Corpus Christi, with multiple locations across the city. It's known for its cozy and relaxed atmosphere, making it a great spot for students, families, and tourists to hang out. The interior features brick walls, high ceilings, and plenty of seating options. They serve freshly roasted small-batch beans from local suppliers like Nordaggios and Driftwood Coffee Co. The beachy vibe and surf-inspired decor add to the laid-back ambiance of the place.
Big train is one of their best sellers and I like their caramel flavor so much. The ambiance in this coffee shop is pretty cozy when you want to study but it has its busy hours of course usually in the morning.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Coffee Waves is hands down one of the best spots in Corpus Christi! Whether you’re looking for a place to study, catch up with friends, or just unwind, this cozy café hits the mark every time. Their coffee is phenomenal—smooth, rich, and expertly crafted. From lattes and cappuccinos to cold brews, every cup is a treat. If you’re in the mood for something sweet, their gelato is a must-try—super creamy with a great variety of flavors that rotate regularly. They also have a solid selection of snacks and pastries that perfectly complement your drink. The atmosphere is relaxed, with plenty of seating and a cool, artsy vibe that makes it easy to focus or just hang out. Highly recommend Coffee Waves to anyone in the area. You’ll want to keep coming back!

We stopped by Coffee Waves and honestly, the inside was such a pleasant surprise—it looks way better than the outside! The vibe was calm and cozy, with a good number of people quietly doing their own thing. The cashier was super nice and didn’t make me feel weird for not knowing drink names (love that). Both staff members were polite and welcoming. The drinks were spot on! I got a matcha with sugar-free vanilla and swapped out the honey they usually add. I also added strawberry cold foam, so good! My boyfriend got something that totally gave caramel Frappuccino vibes (I forgot the name, sorry!). I tried checking their website for a menu but couldn’t find one, so that was a little tricky. Overall, this place is a hidden gem. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.

Ninja Mochi Donut Dessert, owned by head chef Charoenrat Melissa Kaewmanorom, is known for its unique mochi donuts with a chewy texture that crisps when fried. The menu features staple flavors like strawberry, funnel caramel, lemon flower and Oreo, with occasional specialty flavors announced on their Facebook page. Customers rave about the delicious Mango cheese bingsu and Korean corn dogs. The staff and owner are praised for delivering outstanding customer service.
My wife, sister-in-law, and I stopped by Ninja Mochi on a whim, just looking for something sweet—and it ended up being one of those unexpectedly perfect little moments. The space is clean and modern, with a laid-back vibe that feels welcoming without trying too hard. The staff was kind and helpful, and even with a small crowd, everything moved smoothly. We each grabbed something different and sat down for a bit. It wasn’t loud, it wasn’t rushed—it was just the three of us, enjoying some peace and dessert. There’s something nice about a place that lets you slow down like that. I probably wouldn’t call it a destination spot, but for a low-key hangout with good company and a quality treat, Ninja Mochi really hits the mark. It’s the kind of place that quietly makes your day better.

I ordered a Thai milk tea with tapioca boba and the mango and sticky rice. The Thai milk tea had a slight bitter taste that was quite enjoyable for those that do not enjoy super sweet drinks. The mango and sticky rice was super sweet and delicious but the mango slices helped to even out the sweet liquid. Overall the experience was very enjoyable and I would come back.

Hester's Cafe Six Points is a charming and lively eatery that offers a delightful selection of breakfast, lunch, coffee, and pastries. Founded by the husband-and-wife team Jason and Hester Rodriguez in 2006, this local favorite prides itself on serving scratch-made dishes that are both inventive and delicious. The menu features an array of options including hearty sandwiches, fresh salads, eggs benedict, French toast, and the popular B.E.A.T.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brunch at Hester’s Cafe Six Points was absolutely fantastic! We ordered the My Fair Lady, Duke Ellington, and the Berry Monkey Smoothie Bowl, and every bite was delicious. The My Fair Lady is a flavorful panini filled with eggs, fresh spinach, cheese, and maple-smoked bacon—perfectly toasted and satisfying. The Duke Ellington comes with two slices of crispy maple-smoked bacon, two perfectly cooked over-medium eggs, and a side of delicious roasted potatoes. The Berry Monkey Smoothie Bowl was a refreshing treat, packed with blended berries, banana, granola, coconut flakes, and a drizzle of honey. The wait staff was kind and attentive, and the owner serves with a smile, making the whole experience even better. If you’re in Corpus Christi and looking for a top-notch brunch spot, Hester’s is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

This is a “MUST VISIT” cafe in Corpus Christi TX. The food is EXCELLENT and the service and atmosphere match the food. My wife had a poached egg (looked like a rose) on top of a breakfast crab cake. She said it was to die for. I had eggs, bacon, potatoes, and the BEST Hester’s version of French Toast and they were INCREDIBLE! The Cafe leads into Bleu Frog, a General Store with something for everyone. We are going back later with the family (12 in all). We are going to check it out thoroughly. We will definitely come back every time we visit Corpus, highly recommend that you visit the cafe and general store as well. We love it when we find great cafes and stores like these. Thank You Hester!

This is a very serene place to hangout and eat breakfast, brunch or lunch. They have a variety of coffees, desserts, and menu items. We were very impressed with the variety of items on the menu. The time between ordering and receiving our food was in a timely manner. The service was friendly, efficient, and helpful. The atmosphere was clean and inviting.

Great place for breakfast. We were first-time visitors, but as soon as we walked in, a staff member approached us to explain the ordering process. That was very helpful. We had the Cheesy BEAT and the My Fair Lady. They were both delicious. Great atmosphere as well. There were plenty of families with young children. The restrooms were clean. The only thing that I disliked is that we were given a Smuckers single serve packet as a jam. I would think that a place that prepares such delicious food would make their own jam. Or at the very least something better than Smucker's. It seems like a place that gets very full, but we were there around 8 am. Highly recommend this place.

We came to Corpus Christi from Austin for a short weekend getaway, and since it was our first time here, we were looking for a good breakfast spot with solid vegetarian options. Google led us to Hester's Cafe – and it was totally worth it! We ordered the Avocado Toast, coffee, and Strawberry Pancakes with whipped cream. Everything tasted super fresh and delicious – exactly what we were hoping for to start the day😍 Huge shoutout to the staff 👏5 stars for customer service! My husband felt the pancakes were a bit overcooked, and when we brought it up, the manager was so kind and polite. He explained the prep and immediately offered to replace them without hesitation. Such a great experience! Made our day⭐️ Highly recommend if you’re in town and craving a wholesome breakfast with amazing vibes.❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re in Corpus Christi and skip Hester’s, you’re making a serious life mistake. The food here isn’t just breakfast and lunch—it’s happiness on a plate. Their coffee could revive a dead car battery (and tastes way better). The baked goods? Straight-up dangerous because you’ll want to eat three of everything. The staff is always friendly and on top of things, and the place has a cozy, local vibe that makes you want to stay longer than you should. My wife and I loved it—felt like we were eating at a friend’s house, if that friend happened to be a world-class cook with a coffee addiction. Bottom line: come hungry, leave happy, and don’t forget to grab something from the bakery case for “later” (spoiler: you’ll eat it in the car).

Niko's Steakhouse is a casual dining spot known for its grilled dishes, seafood, and salads. The restaurant features a cozy ambiance with dark-wood paneling. A must-try at Niko's is the honey wheat bread served with homemade butter, which perfectly balances sweetness and saltiness. Customers rave about the generous portions of food, including steak, chicken, pork chops, and salads. The brownie dessert is particularly popular for its size and taste.
This was my first visit. My military veteran friends & fishing buddies came down to north Padre island to go fishing. After our fishing trip we stop by Nico Steakhouse to eat a hot meal. My friends ordered sirloin steaks & a chicken fried steak. I ordered the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes & gravy. We also ordered the fried mushrooms & the cups of seafood gumbo for appetizers. Tristan served us. He was an awesome server. He took great care of us. The food was delicious. We loved the fried mushrooms & seafood gumbo. My chicken fried chicken was moist, tender & delicious. I was surprised that they didn’t offer military discounts to the veteran community. Thanks Tristan for great service.

The only reason why I'm giving stars is because the hostess and the waitstaff were very kind. Shout out to Lilith and David for taking GREAT care of my family and me. The ambience was really chill and quiet...there was barely any people there, but now I see why. The food wasn't the best. Most of our meals were either cold or salty including the Caesar salad, the rice pilaf, and the Mac and Cheese. Below are the individual ratings per item: *Bread: 5/5 *Chicken Avocado Salad: 4/5 *Pork Chop: 5/5 *Chicken Acapulco: 2/5 - very salty *Margarita Grilled Chicken: 4/5 *Steak Burger: 4.5/5 *Mesquite Grilled Shrimp: 2/5 - overcooked *House Salad: 5/5 *Caesar Salad: 0/5 - drenched in salty dressing and cheese *Mashed Potatoes w/ Brown Gravy: 2/5 *Corn: 5/5 *Fries: 4/5 *Mac N' Cheese: 0/5 - it was very salty and watery *Rice Pilaf: 0/5

This is a great place we ran across, while on vacation. The fried mozzarella sticks, and fried mushrooms were tasty. The 12oz Ribeye, 20 oz Bone-in Ribeye, and the 16oz Prime Rib were cooked to perfection. And the mashed potatoes, baked potato and potato soup were good as well. All good portions. My friends had a couple of Long Island Ice Tea's, and an Old Fashion from the bar and said they tasted great! Will most definitely visit again! Thumbs up!!

One Star (would give zero if I could) Absolutely disgusting experience. This place is roach infested — we literally saw one crawling across the floor while we were waiting forever for our food. When it finally arrived, it was basically raw. Not rare. Not undercooked. Raw. We informed our waitress of the flying roach. And the RAW food. The manager never even bothered to come to our table. When we brought up the roach situation, his response was: “If it’s a small one it’s from inside, if it’s a big one then it’s from outside.” Seriously?! That’s your explanation? No apology, no accountability, nothing. As for the raw food, his response to that was that they are allowed to serve the salmon sushi style and that is why it’s raw. Excuse me?! The description in the menu says the salmon is supposed to be GRILLED NOT RAW. After we left I had terrible stomach pain and vomited profusely due to the raw food. Do NOT go here unless you enjoy terrible management, roaches running around the dining area, and waiting an hour for raw food. I will be contacting the health department. This place should not be operating.

Bellino Ristorante Italiano e Bottega is a charming restaurant located in The Village Shopping Center, offering a delightful fusion of Italian and Sicilian cuisine. Helmed by Sicilian chef Francesco Inguaggiato, the menu features classic dishes from both traditions, including calamari al sugo, Caesar salad, caprese paninis, spaghetti ala bolognese, and chicken breast in gorgonzola sauce.
Celebrated my birthday with dinner at Bellino Ristorante and they totally exceeded our expectations! Many delicious options to select from, weekly menu specials and great wine. Warm and cozy feel when you are seated and staff is knowledgable, attentive, genuine and provided us with excellent service & recommendations. I want to personally give our sincere gratitude to Nikki for making my dinner out a memorable and fantastic experience. You are a rare find and Bellinos is lucky to have you on staff as you truly have a heart willing to serve and enjoy providing customers with a great experience. From our appetizer, wine, main dish and desert - all was fabulous! We will surely return to try more dishes and will recommend to friends and family.

This was the most disappointing Italian restaurant experience I've ever had, and the experience was characterized by a series of hiccups that should have made me walk out the door much, much sooner. So let's talk about it. I didn't like how the waitress offered me bread service while I was browsing for the menu for the first time (a service that is often complimentary) when it turned out to be a separate expense. I don't mind paying for bread service, but there was no transparency there. I don't like unexpected fees on my bill. She could have had the courtesy to tell me there would be a charge and I would have accepted it. The bread was ice cold. Made fresh or not, I don't understand why you would serve ice cold bread to your patrons. I asked her if it was intended to be served cold and received a non-answer. Have some respect for your patrons, heat up your bread if it's ice cold. The calamari appetizer, average. I could go to any cajun or seafood restaurant and order the same thing and the flavor profile would be vastly the same; you're not getting anything special when you order the calamari appetizer here, is all I'm saying. But it was okay. It just wasn't special. It wasn't something I would really recommend to others. The main course harbors my main complaints, chicken parmesan. Let me wedge a compliment in here real quick and say the sauce was delightful, they did a good job. I enjoyed the sauce. But the noodles were undercooked, very chewy, not al dente. And the chicken was overcooked, stringy, chewy. It was the most unpleasant main course I've had anywhere in a while. And it's especially disappointing because the place is lovely. Yes, the place is nice. The atmosphere is great. They take pride in their aesthetic and tables are dressed nicely. But when a place looks and feels that good, I want the food to taste that good. And when it doesn't, it's just an incredible disappointment and the contrast becomes unbearably noticeable. The Bellino restaurant exudes fanciful vibes of an elevated dining experience but the food only exudes mediocrity.

My experience , we went around 2:00 and able to get lunch hour prices. Thankful for that. First impression walking in was beautiful and looked like a fine dining restaurant. Our dishes were good but definitely not great. To start we ordered the calamari, calamari season and texture was good, but there was an old oil after taste. The main dishes flavors were there but meatball consistency was a little soft for my liking. Pasta was more than Alden te, and our meal did not come with a salad or bread. I did ask for bread after we started eating and I have to say, instant regret! Bread tasted old and stale. In my opinion if brushed lightly with butter and toasted, it would have made the world of difference, definitely would have paired better with any and all their food and made for a better experience. This place definitely has potential to be an awesome restaurant, just a couple of simple changes that wouldn’t cost a penny just a little more TLC! Waitress knew her job and was great at recommending menu items. Very friendly!

Really lovely restaurant BUT we were really disappointed in the service. Kimberly was kind but not attentive. Our wine and water were never refilled during our stay, she had another employee come take our dessert order and never gave us a wine bag to take home the rest of our bottle. The bread was dry and old - thankfully, we weren’t charged for it. Overall, the service felt “turn and burn” despite this being our special date night that we spent a lot and had hoped would be a grand experience for what we paid. Very disappointing.

I wanted so badly to like this place. The food was very bland. Not italian,not Italian American, unfortunately just was lacking in flavor and not well prepared. I had the walnut pasta which was a flavorless white sauce, no evidence of mascarpobe or aged cheese, with a few whole walnuts that were not even toasted. For an upcharge, a few slices of flavorless chicken were placed on top. I had a salad that was just spring mix thrown from a bag with two (2) tomato slices. My date had chicken parm which was an impossibly thick piece of chicken, not pounded as the dish is typically meant to be prepared. Also we waited a very unusually long time for the food. The cocktails were good and I would only consider coming back for a cocktail at the bar. Truly disappointing and I tend to think that this restaurant group just doesn't know what it's doing and does not prepare the food with any love or care.

Our pizzas were DELICIOUS and cooked to perfection. It was served fresh and hot. Everyone at our table loved it. The large salads are shareable. The 2 we ordered were fresh and had just the right amount of dressing. Not only was our food wonderful but our server was very attentive and offered outstanding customer service. I highly recommend and will return.

I have only ever ordered their pizza to go, never dined in or any had of their other items. The pizza here is very good, nice thin flavorful crust and plenty of toppings. My biggest gripe is pricing. It’s very expensive.

We did half meat, half chicken. for a large pizza, toppings were not enough. Each slice had maximum 2 stripes of chicken. Taste was just average. The only thing different was the crust as it’s baked in a brick oven. Overall just an average pizza, expensive though. We also ordered caprese salad, not good at all. The cheese was like plastic and no taste, the Greek salad was good.

I will be honest, I always thought that Grimaldi's was the home of overpriced and overhyped pizza, and while I still think its over priced, I acknowledge thats its pretty good!

Talk about DELICIOUS PIZZA! Everyone enjoyed the dinner, honestly out of all the places we ate that week this was the only one worthy of mention. It was busy but our server was attentive and did not rush us. The pizza and salad we all shared didn't stand a chance at coming home with us😊 The kids enjoyed watching the pizza being made while we waited for our order. The set up in the restaurant is pretty neat! There were big parties, dates and family dinners going on and although it was busy it was not overwhelming. Everyone was so happy!

Went to this location for the first time today and it’ll be my last. We walked in at 3pm , we were told that the ovens were about to be shut down and no pizzas would be coming out until 4:15. But my daughter insisted we wait. We were seated in front of the bar. We waited awhile to even be acknowledged by the wait staff , mind you hardly anyone was in there and waiters were walking around looking for something to do. After about 15 minutes of waiting we finally received our drinks. We ordered a large Caesar salad to share and a bridge platter (since we couldn’t order pizza). Oh and the air conditioning was out so we were sweating like crazy. Our waiter was the bartender and the whole time we were there she checked on us maybe once. Both of our drinks stayed empty for a solid 10 minutes before she noticed they were empty and came over to offer to refill them. At that time I told her I just wanted the check. It was my first experience at a Grimaldis Pizzeria and it will definitely be my last.

Start your day with a delectable treat from Donut Palace, offering an array of mouthwatering options like Boston Creme, Apple Fritters, Bear Claws, and classic glazed donuts. If you're in need of some protein to balance the sweetness, they also serve breakfast sandwiches. While it may be a bit pricey, the fresh and high-quality donuts make it worth the visit.
I love "Mom and Pop" shops when it comes to food. The apple fritter is wonderful along with a sour cream style cake donut if I'm saying it right. The breakfast croissants were good as well. You have to pay attention to pricing: The better the donut, the higher the price you'll pay.

Is this establishment as good as Top Donut in Fredericksburg?? ( Currently #1 ) Simple answer, No. Are we in the Texas Hill County?

I got two very opposing flavors, but I had to try them & I have to say, I was pretty happy. I’ve had a lot of pistachio gelato in my days, I’d consider myself a bit of a pistachio gelato connoisseur, & this is hands down the best I’ve ever had. I was truly blown away. I also got the watermelon gelato & it was incredibly refreshing & delicious. They had so many dairy free options, which was great for my mom, she got the watermelon & mango but had trouble choosing because it was all so good! My sister had the vanilla & birthday cake, two dairy choices, & she finished hers in minutes. Would highly recommend everyone make the trip to Magnolia Grace Gelato!

We stopped by Magnolia Grace Gelato y Más for a late-night treat and had such a great experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and encouraged us to sample a few flavors before deciding. We went with a few flavors the lime gelato and melon was light, refreshing, and the perfect way to end the evening. My son chose a chocolate and strawberry combo, thinking he picked the creamy strawberry, but ended up with the fruit-based one instead. Total happy accident - he took one bite and said it tasted just like chocolate-covered strawberries. He couldn’t stop talking about it and already wants to go back for a bigger scoop! Whether you're craving something sweet or just looking to try something new, this spot is definitely worth the visit. Delicious gelato, great service, and a cozy little location on the island.

S&J Bakery is a well-established bakery in Northwest Corpus Christi that's been providing excellent Kolaches and daily lunch specials for years. They also offer cinnamon rolls, French pastries, muffins, and biscuits.
This is the best place to get kolaches in town. They have delicious pastries as well. My favorite one is the cinnamon roll. It's honestly the best one I've ever had. The workers are the sweetest people ever. They have great lunch specials, and the burgers there are very good as well. They also have the best sweet tea it's just perfect. We love it here.

My wife and I enjoyed a weekday breakfast together at S & J. The line looked long but definitely moves quick. The workers moved quick and had great attitudes towards all customers. You definitely get your money's worth with every item. We will be visiting again when we get the chance.

Excellent cookies, best snicker doodle I have had in years. Unfortunately they were sold out of kolaches, but that’s what happens when you’re the best. My son got chicken tenders and they were like big nuggets but he still seemed happy with them. Will stop in again if I am ever back this way.

Have driven by many times and could not figure out why a bakery had such a big parking lot .. well, now I know they also serve food. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich on house bread with chips. I got the meal, which included a drink and a sweet ( not just a cookie , anything they had). The prices were great. I loved the chicken salad , the bread was very good. My husband got the lunch special , chicken strips with mashed potatoes, gravy , salad , drink, and a dessert. The place is huge.

There's this lady, I don't know her name but I'll find out soon and post it on here. I seen her with other white ppl be all smiles and joy but when I showed up at the window, I got hostility, the way she handed and grabbed the money with me was racial. She was with another young white woman. (She's not the problem). It was the elder lady She was with at the window. It was giving " I'm races and don't like Hispanics" @least that's the impression she gave!!!!! 9/2/2025 9am

I read the reviews before I decided to come here. All positive reviews, so I thought why not give it a try! I’m really glad I did. I ordered a steak and eggs for breakfast and it was delicious ! Our waitresses name was Trinity and she was amazing ! Highly recommend the place. It’s also very pink , very bright. The atmosphere is soothing.

I had the Café Chocolat Allemand, Pâtes au Pesto Crémeux, and a Tarte aux Fruits at Bien Mérité Bakery and Restaurant, and every bite was magnifique! The presentation was stunning and the flavors were perfectly balanced rich, smooth, and unforgettable. The rose-pink aesthetic with all the flowers gave the café so much charm and character it felt like stepping into a little dream of France. The atmosphere was warm, elegant, and full of personality. My waiter was wonderful attentive, friendly, and full of great recommendations. He even drew a little cat on my receipt, which completely made my day! Truly a five-star experience from start to finish. Merci, Bien Mérité!

Could be considered on the pricier side, but everything was really good. I had the smoked salmon eggs Benedict and it was delicious! Everything we had was good. Our server was very nice and sweet, but being sat in the back there were points where we felt we were waiting quite a bit for certain things. Overall I'd definitely go back. Excited for the new building as this one has a weird smell upon first entering.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had such a great brunch at Bien Mérité! It was busy but the wait wasn’t long at all. The decor is Instagram worthy with a floral wall and string lights, giving bloomcore/gardencore. I got the breakfast burrito (crunchy bacon, flavorful salsa, and perfect potatoes on the side) and an iced horchata white mocha that I’d definitely reorder. You can grab coffee and baked goods up front, and even the water cups are cute! Parking’s a little tight, but totally worth it for the experience.

I absolutely adore this little restaurantm this was first time going. The food is incredible! We had the breakfast burrito. I had the French 💋 coffee 😍 the chai latte was also incredible. You need to save room for dessert or take it to go. Mirror raspberry pistachio tart was incredible. They also make macarons and eclairs. Definitely a brunch destination. The staff was also incredibly nice. If you're and Instagram influencer or live picture ops this is a great place to go.

Came here for ky birthday and it was a great choice. The staff was super friendly and the food and coffee was great. Only took a picture of my croissant (pistachio topping with raspberry filling 😋) but the breakfast burrito and sandwich were also great. I love that they do all their breads made in house. Would definitely be going here again. If your coming off the interstate there is a fairly large parking lot if your drive past the front of restaurant. Not that the front parking is bad, just a little harder to see the traffic when your trying to leave.

Ben and Destiny were amazing servers! I am so satisfied with the way my food came out. I got the grilled cheese with tomato soup and ate it all up!

For sure will be back!

First time Here, I was told they had Mollejas and yes the have some smoked Mollejas that comes out soft with a little crisp on the outside. Plate included 2 sides . I had beans and potato salad that was very good. My tea was always full thanks to the waitress. This awesome find has been around for a while serving Corpus for many years.

Terrance B — Google review
After ordering, I waited 25-30 minutes to get my food. At the time, they only had one table of 4 people and one car at the drive through. I asked for a certain bbq sandwich with mixed meats and for some reason they "don't do that". I ended up getting the bbq brisket & sausage poorboy. When I got my food, I took a bite. The brisket could have been more tender. It was a little tough to rip apart by hand. Also, each slice of brisket had an artery running through the fat as you can see in the photo. It is not edible or possible to bite through. In total, I pulled out about 6 - 8 inches of artery. Safe to say I'm never going back. Save yourself a trip and go to BBQ Man

I ordered the two meat plate with ribs and brisket, but when I got my food I was surprised by the small portion size. Paid 20 dollars for two pieces of rib and two pieces of brisket with some rice n beans as sides. I was confused by the beef because one slice was paper thin, the other was thicker. Makes me wonder if that one piece of brisket was used to make two pieces. I heard a microwave going off in the back while I waited for my food. I was the only customer there and became worried I was getting treated to leftovers. And the BBQ sauce wasn't sauce, I am pretty sure it was picante sauce. I've had bigger portions and faster food at other BBQ restaurants. I enjoy visiting new places to try out but maybe some more improvement is needed here before I come back.

This was our very first time eating at Mr. G's Barbeque in Corpus Christi. We are visiting from Universal City and we were showing my brothers family from Chicago, around the area. Based on others reviews and pictures we decided to dine in. Well the gentleman waiting on us, Mr. Daniel Guerra was very polite and attentive to our questions. The Brisket, sausage, beans and potato salad was made to perfectIon and the sausage is made there. The Brisket was very tasty, moist, and overall cooked very good!Everything was very delicious and well portioned. The restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere with all the vintage store signs. For anyone wanting to give them a try I will highly recommend Mr. G's Barbeque restaurant for overall satisfaction and a hometown feel.

If you're on the hunt for a refreshing treat to satisfy your sweet cravings, look no further than La Paletera. This delightful spot offers an array of icy delights, from fresh fruit cups bursting with flavor to creamy ice cream and fruity freezes that are perfect for cooling off on hot days. The paletas, a beloved South Texas specialty, resemble ice cream popsicles and come in a variety of fruity and savory flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.
Huge variety of fruits, sweets and savory snack type foods. The menu is mostly hand written so it has a very home town feel. Most everything was reasonably priced. A very large cup of fruit is $4.95, and you can choose from a large variety of fruit. The fruit was ripe and sweet. There is also a nice sized selection of frozen Popsicle type ice creams. I got coconut and it was very creamy and had a nice flavor. I dont live in Corpus, but if i ever go back ill try it again and get the banana split.

My experience was horrible , I went to their place around 9 pm , they close at 10 pm. The owner took my order and i made sure I told her every detail on my order . I can tell she was in a rush trying to close up the store . I waited 10 minutes for a waffle cone w/2 scoops . I had to ask one of the employees to make it . As soon as I’m about to leave the employees asked me if I paid for the cone and I told the employee “yes your owner took my order “ the owner acted so shock and said “ Me? I did “ which sounded very rude especially for an owner . And I said “ Yes you do you not remember, if you didn’t charge me I can pay for it I have the money “ . Her response was “ it’s fine as she rolled her eyes” . Which is a very poorly for her to say back as a customer who’s been going there for 6+ years . Never again will I go there , owner needs to own up to her mistakes 🤦‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

What can I say? This place is very run down. Bad side of town. The front windows are cracked and all they did to fix them is put tape. It has a large waiting area but little tables to eat at, set beside the broken windows at that. The service okay, could been better. I order corn in a cup (Esquite). At first glance it was okay. But then I noticed it was yellow corn not white corn, there is a taste difference. When I was digging in, I noticed that some of the corn was dark. I think some kernals were old and maybe rotten. In the end I was just disgusted after eating it. First and late time I go there. I'd rather go to Mexico to get the real thing.

Complementing the vibrant dishes are creative cocktails like the Yola Sol, which provides a citrusy and peppery sip.
Nice restaurant with Amazing food and customer service. Went two days in a row while working in CC. Both evening the service was excellent. Abby was our service the first night recommended the nachos and they were soooo good. We had the enchiladas verdes and carne asada tacos with an espresso martini. The second night we had Alise as our waitress. Again greeted with a smile and excellent service! We tried the nachos again! They just as delicious as the first night. Then had Tinga tacos and poblano soup. Really the nachos are a meal in itself! Thanks ladies again for excellent service and to the chef thanks for the wonderful food!

Overall: This is a great place to get nice food and drinks. This place has so much potential and id love to see it packed on a Saturday night. I love going out for drinks and this place will be on our rotation from now on. Atmosphere: My bf and I came here on a Saturday night around 9:15 pm. For most of the meal, we were the only people there. It’s a beautiful restaurant with a beautiful and well stocked bar. It was kind of awkward halfway through the meal because they turned off the music and it added to the fact that no one was there. I was confused because I thought they were closed and we were overstaying our time because of it. We wanted to get another round of drinks but we elected to leave because it was awkward. Service: Jayden was our server tonight. She was so kind and knowledgeable of the menu. I appreciated that she took the time to explain everything to us and showed genuine enthusiasm for the dishes and drinks. They offer Acquia Panna as their water which is always a good sign in a restaurant, especially since corpus tap water is horrible. Drinks: Fantastic and a great value!! For the quality, drinks are so affordable. Not pictured, but we also go the mole Manhattan. They served it with a Luxardo cherry so that was a great sign. It featured mole bitters which added a nice spice flavor (maybe star anise or cinnamon) to the drink. Pineapple pisco was delicious. It had a good amount of alcohol and it wasn’t too sweet. It was the second time I had pisco and the sourness of the pineapple and the egg white foam complemented it well. About $10 - $15 a drink. We moved here from Dallas and this establishment was comparable to some of the places we frequent (like Paradiso but cheaper lol). This bar alone should be keeping the place packed at night but for whatever reason, this isn’t the case. Our server explained that this area is a residential area with an older population but that shouldn’t matter because Corpus Christi is small to begin with so it’s not like people would have to drive far to get here. Perhaps people don’t know about it? Or maybe cocktail bars aren’t popular here? Food: food was delicious! Jayden recommended the Queso fundido to us which was excellent. The salsas it came with were great and had a good spice level. Agua chile had a beautiful presentation. I do wish the shrimp had absorbed more of the flavor of the liquid. Robalo was so good! I love a whole fried fish and I’m so glad we ordered this. It was more than enough to share. They only gave us 2 corn tortillas with it though so next time I hope they offer a few more. The carnations as decorations were kind of unnecessary though. We will be back and I hope next time this place will be packed as it should be!

Despite the interesting flavors, it's important to note that the ice cream won't actually make you tipsy. The establishment is conveniently located just 5 minutes from downtown and provides relatively fast service. Customers have praised the cleanliness of the place and enjoyed treats like banana splits.
Stumbled across this gem on a work trip. Super cute place to grab something cool and refreshing. It was VERY clean. Service was amazing, the young ladies working were so polite and on top of things. Prices are great too!! A single scoop was less than $3, frutas is about $5 but it is a FULL cup. I will be back next time I am in the area!

If you would like to get your morning, coffee here and have to be at work by a certain time, this is not the place for you. Every single time I have gone here I have waited at least 20 minutes even with only two cars in front of me. There was ONE person inside at the time because yes I tried that route too.

He claimed to have the same menu for 5 years but couldn't say much when we brought up items on google maps that he didn't have.. the way he talked to us was just mean.

Worst service ever. Waited in line for about 5-10 minutes. Wanted to ask a simple question about the differences of the Ingrid and latte prior to ordering. Cashier told me they’ll get to me next… waited another 5 minutes till another group came in, cut in line and the cashiers took THEIR order first?!! Literally saw me, knew I was next and still ignored me. I’m not a confrontational person so I waited in line for another 5-8 minutes till they filled out other orders by that time 6 cups were put in front by drive through or kiosk. During this whole time they only made 5 cups of coffee. Finally came to me and found out they were out of the flavors I desired in the coffee.. 🤦‍♂️ plenty of other coffee places to go to, would not recommend this to anyone.

Donut World is a great place to go for fresh, delicious donuts. The drive-thru is the only option because of Covid, but the staff are always friendly and the donuts are top-notch. Our favorite is their ham and cheese croissant, which is perfect for breakfast or lunch.

The breakfast sandwich was amazing. Homemade bread, bacon, cheese, and eggs. The bakery has gluten free cookies that I get for my wife. The cheese cake out of this world. Be sure to try the ginger bread, it's like a little piece of Germany in Corpus.

Took awhile for us to be sat. No one was up front when we walked in. Once sat, our waitress was very friendly and informative. She brought 2 delicious cookies for us to sample while deciding on what to order. I ordered the farmer's breakfast - very good. My husband ordered the lunch sampler and said it was good. We walked by the pastries and bread when leaving. It looks delicious, and we'll have to try some soon.

We had breakfast and it was delicious! The pastries were unique and delicious! They caught your eye as soon as you enter the restaurant. They also have fresh bread and half priced good from previous batches. Place its simple but genuine. Family owned with a lot of good flavors that give you a great taste of German/European food.

Very good food and nice atmosphere. I loved the German breakfast tacos. They were more like crepes but better. Wife loved the French toast breakfast sandwich. Was not sweet as expected, but still very delicious and I believe you can ask for it sweeter and cinnamon and for syrup. Did provide side of powdered sugar ,but wife preferred without. Also loved the blueberry strudel. Tables for pets outside. Super friendly and fast and not busy for Saturday lunch. Next time I might try German meatloaf.

Came in Sunday morning around 10:45 and was seated immediately. Wife got the Ruben on pretzel bread and German potato salad. I ordered the jagerschnitzel with sauerkraut. Wife’s food was good but the schnitzel and sauerkraut was amazing. Particularly the kraut. Waitress said some people had sent it back the previous day because they didn’t like it and ask me to Rey and would change it out if I didn’t like but there’s no way I was sending that back. It did have mashed potatoes in it which was different but made it very creamy. Tasted more like the real German potato salad that net ones the wife got as her side order. Health officials won’t allow the real, warm version, of the potato salad to be served for some reason. I’ve had German food in Germany and this was about as close as it gets. I will be coming back every time we visit Corpus. Highly recommended.

JB’s was a decent experience overall. I’m used to bolder flavors, so the food didn’t completely meet my expectations. The real highlight? The pastries! They absolutely nailed those. I’d definitely swing by again just for the baked goods. The environment was also really enjoyable, which added to the experience.

Really enjoyed the food. Service was great. Can't say enough great things about our waiter. Only drawback was that we were seated on the porch area, and while enclosed, the seats were very uncomfortable. Loved the fish tacos, sliders and key lime mango cheesecake. Hope they get a bananas foster cheesecake soon. Lol. Highly recommended!

We hadn't been to a Cheesecake Factory in years. You're given bread when you sit down at the table. The bread's good. I ordered the Skinnylicious crispy chicken sandwich. It comes with a side salad. Both were good. My husband ordered the Cajun breakfast hash and said it was good. Our waiter - Isaac - did an amazing job. He was constantly checking to make sure we had everything we needed.

Hostess were rude. We wanted a booth and she didn’t want to sit us at a booth when many of them were open. She asked us where we were from because it seemed like we weren’t from there. lol. Salmon was all gone. My shrimp linguini pasta tasted old, and my boyfriend’s curry dish didn’t taste fresh either. Cheesecake was ok. The bread was good. We had some Avocado egg rolls. Those were fresh and good. Our server Delilah was super helpful about everything and was super nice

I had the spicy ginger beef, tenderloin. This was a new dish to the restaurant as was told to my by my server so I decided to try it. I like I try different things on the menu. While it was very good, I found the portion to be extremely small in Cheesecake Factory standards. I’ve tried about everything on the menu and this is by far the smallest. I’m a little disappointed and felt you should know. This was my only complaint. Actually there is another. I started my dining experience at 6pm and on a Friday evening. After my waitress asked me if I wanted some more dinner rolls (which I replied yes) she told me they were out of stock on the dark rye rolls. At 6pm and out. Really? I am not much into sour dough and that dough was extremely crusty. I will most definitely be back as it is a main stop on my travels down from Canada.

Also, ordered the spinach and artichoke dip but the chips were stale, our server remedied it right away.

The Coffee Mugg is a Harry Potter-themed coffee shop that is perfect for all magic-obsessed muggles. The atmosphere is filled with potion bottles and paintings, creating the perfect Hogwarts atmosphere. It's a great place to hang out and drink delicious wizardly drinks.
I am a big coffee lover, and it had a great Harry Potter-themed selection; I got the Bellatrix Lestrange drink for myself and for my sister, who doesn't like coffee. They had a good-sized noncoffee drink selection for a coffee house and were willing to supplement the coffee with certain drinks if possible. Plus, I am a huge Harry Potter fan, and this was a great experience. I loved seeing all the little attention to detail they had.

Okay but why did no one tell me this Harry Potter themed coffee shop was actually magical? The decor was top notch! seriously, every corner of the place was artsy, detailed, and full of creativity. I felt like I was walking through a wizard’s Pinterest board. We toured the entire spot, sipped on coffee, and played Jenga. They’ve got a solid selection of board games, so it’s def a cute place to chill with friends or go on a cozy lil date. I ordered the Basic Witch (aka butterbeer coffee) ngl it wasn’t mind-blowing and could’ve been better, but honestly the overall vibe, super sweet service, and magical aesthetic totally made up for it. 10/10 for the atmosphere. Would go again just to soak up the witchy feels and maybe try a different drink next time. 🧙‍♀️💫

Hester's Cafe Lamar Park is one of three locations in Corpus Christi, including a waterside dining spot at the Art Museum of South Texas. The cafe offers a glimpse of the USS Lexington and passing ships while you dine. Founded by chef and baker duo Jason and Hester Rodriguez, this cafe aims to build a community around food. It's an ideal place for morning coffee, meeting friends, or taking a break from shopping.
Wow, our dinner neighbors last night suggested Hesters for breakfast! I'm so glad they did. Blue Jack was absolutely the BEST crab cake Benedict I've ever had. The crab cake was big and the flavors were amazing. It had two types of peppers and corn in it and was bursting with flavor. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked. It came with potatoes that were also seasoned and delicious. We'll definitely come back next time we're in town.

The first visit was absolutely amazing—definitely a 10/10 experience. The service was fantastic, and the food came out hot and fresh. I left knowing I had to come back again. Unfortunately, my second visit was a complete letdown. The service was practically nonexistent, the food took an unreasonably long time to arrive, and to top it off, I found a hair cooked into my waffle (as shown in the last photo). The inconsistency between visits is disappointing, and I hope this feedback helps the restaurant improve.

Beautiful and quaint cafe with delicious food and drinks. We stopped in here during our Port Aransas trip last May and it didn't disappoint! We ordered the Pulled Pork Benedict, Biscuits and Gravy, Berry Smoothie, Oat Latte, and Kids Meals and it was all very tasty.

I love the outside garden area, if we lived closer I would frequent it just for the atmosphere and relaxing setting!

I visited Hester’s Café recently. I tried the latte, which was okay but not amazing, I didn’t like it that much. I also ordered a dish with chicken, eggs, avocado, and fried potatoes (I forgot the exact name). I didn’t really like the dish overall—the only thing I enjoyed were the fried potatoes, which were delicious. I also tried the chocolate cheesecake, and it was really good. Overall, the café feels a bit on the high end in terms of pricing.

Came in for breakfast around 2pm since I woke up late. Food and dessert was great though I have to say I didn't enjoy their bitter espresso. El Campo Scramble hit the spot but was missing the jalapeños. The Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake was a great appetizer since it showed up before the main dish. I'm giving only 4 stars due to the coffee and they didn't have a mug we were looking for. Other than that we'll definitely come back again thanks Team Hester's...

I’m soooo grateful for my experience with Janet’s Cakery! From the moment I walked in the door, Rebecca greeted me with a big smile. I explained to her that I needed a gender reveal cake for an intimate gender reveal for my husband and I. I was all over the place with the excitement of finding the gender of the baby, but she was patient with my indecisiveness. Handing over my phone to Rebecca for her to find out the gender of my baby and put the correct colored filling for the cake. She double checked with me to make sure how to give the phone back without spoiling the gender to me, which was so thoughtful. She told me it could be ready within a day. As I come to pick up my cake, Joy grabs my cake and says oh gender reveal cake! Then she jokingly said she knows what the gender of my baby was and congratulated me. Overall, such a warm and genuine experience that I’ll forever be remember. Definitely ordering from here all the time!

The menu features a variety of hot chicken options, including sliders, tenders, and loaded fries. The owners are known for their exceptional service and personal attention to customers. While the spicy rubs like habanero and ghost pepper pack a punch, there are also milder options available for those who prefer less heat.
Got a hot chicken sandwich with mild spice with garlic Parmesan sauce and a side of fries. Fries were well seasoned and chicken was juicy and flavorful. They have multiple spice options as well as various sauces you can use to add more flavor to your sandwich.

The place was really clean and well-maintained. The quality of the food was really well balance with seasoning and saucy heat. I had the loaded fries combo and my son had the chicken sandwich combo. I rated the “Service” with 4 stars because the welcoming from a couple of the staff members at the front counter was not that inviting. Some additional coaching and/or training made need to be worked on this area.

Walk carefully, the floors are slippery. Ordered the XL loaded fries 3 weeks ago and today. It's really good. But their portions aren't consistent. Last time, it was in a larger white to go plate, and today, it's in a half sized black to go plate. I want to know which one is the correct size. Both containers were full. It's worth the drive and how much I paid if it's the white container.

This place is excellent!! The food was great! The chicken sandwiches are so delcious. They have great flavor even better heat! We tried them all, hot, habanero, ghost pepper, and reaper. The reaper and ghost pepper have great flavor but are extrmely hot! Eat at your own risk! They are good, but if you want enjoy the sandwich and aren't good with spice then the mild and hot are good options. If you want kick and spice but not scorching heat, then the habanero is the way to go. The fries, Mac & cheese, and sauces are great as well. We highly recommend the loaded fries. Their chickie chickie sauce is so good. The staff is very friendly and the customer service is phenomenal. You won't be disappointed eating here.

Today was our first visit. We came for lunch at about 1:00. The dining room was empty, so obviously there was plenty of parking and plenty of seating. I believe people just haven’t discovered this place yet. I ordered the.#3 Combo which came with two chicken tenders and fries. With the chicken tenders, you can get two different heat levels and two different sauces. I chose to get one tender with the hot and one tinder with the habanero. The sauces I chose were the Chickie Chickie and the BBQ. First off the chicken tenders were a good size fried perfectly, and came out hot and tender. The spice level of the hot tender was warm, but not too hot. The habanero was a good step up and it had my nose running a little bit and my eyes sweating, but it was still tolerable and I believe I would order that one again. But as hot as the habanero was, I don’t think I am brave enough to try the ghost pepper or the reaper. The Chickie. Chickie sauce is a seasoned mayonnaise based sauce and helped provide a small level of comfort as the heat of the spices built on you. The.BBQ sauce had a very nice flavor and was not sweet and was a nice compliment to the chicken. The french fries were OK, they came out hot and not greasy. There are many restaurants that advertise hot this or hot that and majority of the time I am disappointed. If you are a fan of the heat, then you have some good choices here. We look forward to coming back and trying some more of their menu items. The dining room was a good size, the place was clean, and the staff was pleasant.

I went about 1-2 weeks ago, but the lady working there was rude. I asked if I could get multiple flavors, but she said “no, only two,” which I was okay with. Then she kept asking what I wanted, and I kept repeating my order just for her to get it wrong anyway. I did not feel welcome at all. She just had a bit of an attitude when conversing. I ended up going to "Ice and Cream" in Portland, which allowed me to get multiple flavors without having an attitude.

Super cute spot to have brunch while downtown. Located inside art museum. I had Turkish Eggs with Lamb Sausage 4 stars, brunch all day flatbread was really good!! Overall the location and views make it 5 stars for me.

Lovely setting right by the water, we saw frolicking dolphins and flitting seabirds. Breeze beautiful day, delicious brunch meal. The blistered shishitos were great, maybe ask for some finishing salt. Crusty focaccia was amazing and you need to try the sticky toffee pudding! Highly recommend!

The food was bland, we ordered the flat bread and it was not seasoned. The flat bread its self was bland u can tell there was no salt in the flat bread when they made it. Just really bland. When they gave me my plate it was dirty it had somthing suck on it. See pictures. The view is top tier.

We were both very eager to dine here, but ultimately disappointed with the food and service. Despite a reservation, we still waited in a line to be seated for over 30 minutes. Additionally, a couple that came in 10 minutes after us got sat 10 minutes before us (I’m not sure if they also had a reservation or not). I only saw two servers for 15+ tables. If that’s the case, then reservations should not be accepted, and new tables should not be seated if they are short-staffed — max 5–6 tables per server typically. The tuna was tough and had a strong fishy taste. The poached eggs were undercooked and snotty. And they claim to serve “Moroccan mint tea,” which I was so excited to enjoy; however, they need to rename it to green tea! That is the furthest thing from Moroccan tea and quite insulting actually. This was green tea with a single mint leaf for decoration. Moroccan mint tea is so delicious! It’s made of a large handful of fresh mint only and served with sugar cubes — it is unimaginably good and nothing like you’ve had before (nothing like boxed mint tea either). The Turkish coffee, again, was not made correctly! It was so watered down and weak!! It had no hint of cardamom either. In Corpus, you can get authentic Turkish coffee from Ratana and Ginger Cafe! My husband said the lamb sausage was very gamey, and the ponzu sauce for the tuna was essentially soy sauce. My cup was also dirty when served to me. The only upside is Paige was very friendly and, despite being very busy, managed to check in on us throughout our meal. And the view, of course, is beautiful outside. However, inside, the noise volume is irritating, and the sound bounces from every direction sounding like a crowded cafeteria — my server had to nearly yell. Fortunately, she let us move outside.

I love Elizabeth’s, I always have! We enjoyed a variety of delicious eats today. The girlies today started with the Dip Trio and the hummus was probably the favorite amongst the group. The charcuterie is MY personal favorite and I try to always get one. The board today was fresh and very tasty. I don’t este dates, even wrapped in bacon, but the girlies enjoyed the Devils on Horseback. They were slightly disappointed with the portion size for the price. The Moroccan Mint tea would have been absolute perfection with 2 more sugar cubes. The glass was a bit odd for a hot tea. Ultimately, we left the table full, and I for sure will be back.

Friendly service. Indoor and outdoor (2 tables) seating available. Vanilla and chocolate are always available and the other 4 flavors rotate. I had the chocolate - very good. My husband had the cookie dough and said it was good.

This was unfortunately, a very average ice cream experience. I was excited by their promise of new flavors everyday but neglected to realize the store is a very health conscious business. While I understand that their intended audience probably enjoys this, we were not the intended audience. If you are looking for gluten free, low carb, no artificial sweeteners, etc in your ice cream: this is the place for you. I found all the flavors we tried to be very lackluster in flavor. Butter Pecan tasted like milk ice cream and both Chocolate Peanut Butter and White Chocolate Fudge were just subdued chocolate. The texture was great and the serving size to cost ratio was on point, but the lack of any flavor made it a very disappointing ice cream experience. The staff was helpful and seemed kind, the store offers a very wide variety of toppings, and they have plenty of flavors to purchase and take home in their freezers. Overall, I probably won’t be back, but hope other people can enjoy it more than I did.

Had the best low-carb low-cal soft serve at this place today! they had six different flavors of soft serve and they let me try nearly every one of them and they were all super yummy.

This little place was an actual D’lite! Hosting over 20 Girl Scouts (pre-planned), and rocked it. The whole place was clean, there was plenty of room for everyone, and the girls loved the ice cream! I tried the rocky road which tasted much more rich than the regular chocolate I ended up getting. The chocolate was very light tasting, because of the healthiness of their ice cream, I didn’t feel full but happily content with my portion. Their prices are insanely reasonable and our gluten free kiddos were included too.

This locally owned ice cream shop is AMAZING! It’s the cleanest tasting ice cream I’ve ever tasted. I usually will have an upset stomach after eating ice cream but not after trying this place!! It’s all soft serve ice cream made with skim milk. And it’s well worth the money. She changes the flavors daily so you are always in for a delightful surprise. You can also buy the flavors you might have loved from the day before by the pint in the freezers by the front. It’s so spacious and bright and there are so many options for dietary restrictions.

Cookie + Crumb Bakeshop is a popular spot known for its delectable array of cookies, including the famous honey cookies and brown sugar chocolate chip cookies. The bakeshop also offers a wide variety of macarons, making it difficult to choose just one. In addition to cookies, the shop features other freshly baked sweet treats that are perfect for indulging or gifting to friends. Customers love the Mexican hot cocoa cookie and enjoy the themed treats offered during holidays and celebrations.
I love stopping here to treat myself! And it's a great place to stop and pick up a few tasty treats for friends or to give as gifts. My favorite cookie is the Mexican hot cocoa but I can't resist a salty boi or a piece of cheesecake when I'm there. The workers are also always so sweet, kind, and patient - especially when I'm being indecisive. The themed treats they do for the holidays or celebrations are always a big hit with me as well! And the cups - I own so many of them and they're perfect for iced coffee! 💛

Tried Crumbl Cookies again just to give them the benefit of the doubt , and I have to say, I was extremely disappointed. The flavors sounded great, but the actual taste was far from it. The Rocky Road and Key Lime were both underwhelming, and even the classic Chocolate Chip, which should be a safe bet, wasn’t good. The texture was off, and the flavors just didn’t deliver. Definitely not worth the hype or the price. I won’t be ordering from this place again.

Came to try the Mexican vanilla oat milk latte which was AMAZING but also left with one of the deluxe cookies. I got the peanut butter one which has peanut butter, peanut butter chips, and peanuts (forgive me if I’m missing an ingredient). It was heavenly. The shop girl said it’s basically three cookies in one, and they weigh them (170g each if I recall correctly). Sooo yummy. If you’re a peanut butter lover, I highly recommend getting this cookie. The macarons were also very tempting, but I had to limit myself. Will be back to try them another time. They have fairly limited hours, but I believe they also vend at markets on occasion.

Mangonadas By MLB on the bay is a popular spot near the downtown seawall, offering a variety of summer-inspired icy treats. One of their signature items is the Pina Loca, served in a hollowed-out pineapple and filled with agua fresca, topped with fruit and tamarindo sticks, candy, and pineapple slices. While it may be a bit pricey, the large portions make it worth it for many visitors.
Great service, good drink/smoothie options too. Atmosphere is good but can be chaotic at times (especially on busier days). Still, I recommend if you’re in the area.

This place is wonderful. I got the iconic Pineapple concoction mostly because I was into the aesthetics. But one of the sorbet flavors, lime, I realized was amazing. I know which drink I'm getting next time. They have little kids meals and a lot of drinks to choose from. Amazing view, and such a nice area. Couple of notes...closer trash cans and two out of three of us busted our knees on the stone benches. But that's a personal problem. It's definitely a great spot to grab something sweet and have a nice time on the shoreline.

Location. Location. Location! What a prime location. Right by downtown. On the "beach". Ton of free parking. Ton of scenic "seating". I want the flan and the soapapillas....so I got the Mangonada and the Pina Colada. Both those ice creams tasted delicious and the presentation was on point. The service and speed were good too. The seating at the ice cream place wasn't the cleanest but we were planning on seating on the bay anyway. Either way, a solid spot to help with that sweet tooth cravings.

This is a sweet little snack joint! They offer many Mexican street foods like elote or nachos and a wide variety of drinks including agua frescas, lemonades, smoothies, and shakes.

I would definitely come back here any time I need a refreshing pick-me-up in the afternoon.

This place was awesome! It’s an ice cream shop but also offers a variety of drinks, including agua frescas, lemonades, smoothies, and shakes. Nachos and hot dogs are available on the menu, plus specific food, drinks, and sorbet options for kids. I ordered nachos with jalapeños - which were fresh, delicious, and just enough spice - and the MIGHTY PINA! Oh My Goodness does it live up to the name. A hallowed pineapple filled with mango sorbet, lime, cherry, and coconut ice cream, fresh fruit toppings (pineapples, strawberries, mangoes), and dressed with gummy bears and sour candy. It is worth every penny. 😋 My 5-year-old enjoyed the strawberry Kids sorbet which included ice cream, whipped cream, and gummy bears.

Moving from Houston, we were thrilled to discover a Smallcakes location in Corpus. Our family adores the wedding cake flavor, a perennial favorite at our kids' birthday parties for the past five years. However, it was disappointing that the staff couldn't accommodate customization requests like writing on the cake board. I understand that the locations are owned by different people and they set their own rules but very odd to me as it was a simple request and they have the frosting and tools for it. Nonetheless, opting for a plain cake and cupcakes allowed us to personalize it ourselves, which turned out wonderfully. If you're not much of a baker, decorating it yourself is a viable option. For those curious about our decoration details, we used black fondant and star cutouts for the stars, purchased a Vader head, mini lightsabers, and candle on Amazon, and sprinkles from Walmart.

BE CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE PEANUT ALLERGIES. (To clarify I do not, but this is concerning anyway) I had a pickup order and when I finally got to trying the ice cream, I noticed it had a peanut taste to it. I didn’t add in any mix ins that would have peanuts. So I’m assuming the cold stone or whatever it is wasn’t cleaned off before my ice cream went to get mixed. Just something to think about if you have an allergy and you come to this location, they do not clean the board/stone off as frequently as they should.

They do not keep their ice cream cold enough. I have been around long enough to understand what happens when eating ice cream in the heat. All three of the ice cream orders we had handed to us started melting immediately after they served it. We started eating them while waiting to pay. Once paid and walked outside it started pouring down so fast it was just impossible to eat it. It ended up all over us and we had to throw them away and clean as much as we could from our clothes. I've lived in warmer climates and this still was never an issue. They were also a little expensive for what they offered.

Incredibly disappointing and unprofessional. They had a sign up on the ice cream display that read “card reader down, we will have to enter cards manually.” I thought no big deal, they can’t control technical malfunctions and I have no problem with them manually entering my card, especially since I don’t carry cash. So I waited for 20 minutes while they served everybody that was in line ahead of me. Again, not a big deal, it’s a holiday weekend and I don’t mind waiting since it’s busy. I finally get to the front of the line to order and I ask to sample one of the flavors. The employee lets me sample one, then I ask to sample a second (I was in between two flavors and just wanted to try them both before making my decision). At this point the employee looks exasperated and says “it’s cash only.” I was confused, because she hadn’t spoken to anyone between me asking for the first sample and the second, and there was no indication anywhere throughout the store that it was cash only. So I pointed to the sign and said “you can’t enter it manually?” To which they insisted no, cash only. I understand technical difficulties happen, but they should have indicated that it was cash only on the sign, or told me when I walked in, instead of having me wait nearly half an hour before being informed that it was a complete waste of time.

It was my first time coming here & the staff was so friendly & helpful. I’m very grateful that they were able to have my boyfriend’s favorite cake ready in time for his birthday! Thank you so much.

went in excited for ice cream, left wondering how someone with that bad of an attitude ended up working in customer service. the girl behind the counter, i think her name was sam or samantha i'm not too sure, looked like i had personally ruined her day just by walking in. no smile, no greeting, just a heavy sigh like scooping a cone was going to end her career. when i asked a simple question about the flavors, she rolled her eyes and answered like i was wasting her precious time. i get it, it’s an ice cream shop, not the highlight of your life, but come on, it’s literally your job. she slammed our cones down on the counter, didn’t say a word, and acted annoyed when we asked for napkins (because god forbid ice cream actually melts). the whole vibe was rude, dismissive, and honestly made the experience uncomfortable. the ice cream itself was fine, but service this bad ruins it. if you hate serving customers that much, maybe don’t work at an ice cream shop where people come to be happy. definitely won’t be coming back until they find staff who can manage at least the bare minimum of politeness.

Me and the wife visited this establishment to get a couple of milkshakes. I surprised the wife with a strawberry chocolate milkshake. The wife liked her shake, but to her, it tasted more like a melted ice cream flavor. Which drops it down a star, unfortunately. I got a cookies and cream milkshake and it was good. But again, it didn't have the same texture as a regular milkshake. It could be better, but unfortunately fell one star short of a great review. But would definitely recommend their ice cream here!

We visit this place almost every day with our kids. This worker is serving us for the first time, but she is not new to the store. Unfortunately, her behavior was quite unpleasant. She was rude when taking our orders, and it was the worst service we've received here. I don't understand why, considering it wasn't even busy. I was still finishing my first ice cream cup when she walked away. When I asked for the cookie crown and hat that come with the special ice cream, she responded, “Oh, you didn't tell me?” — other servers usually automatically include them, even without being asked. When I requested the paper hats and saw her rude expression, she simply said, “I KNOW.” Her attitude was dismissive and unprofessional. She was rushing, unfriendly, and not customer-focused at all. Despite her rudeness, I still tipped her 25% because I know other servers benefit from tips, and I felt it was the right thing to do. It even made me emotional because her actions felt unfair and inappropriate. I don’t want my kids to witness this kind of service because it’s not normal. Kindness, patience, and friendliness should be the standard, especially when serving families with children. I hope the management will see this and take appropriate action.

I got the cup of lemon custard and it’s so amazing. I love lemon and I love ice cream and they are the only ice cream place that has that flavor. My friend got a cone with two scoops of cherry jubilee which was also tasty. The service was fast and friendly :)

Haven't been here in years until their renovation. Love their selections and the new fruit bars. Daiquiri Ice is still a favorite. They also have vegan options.

Line was pretty long, but the employees were fast and efficient, and the line moved quickly. Good array of options including some dairy free and some sugar free options for those on dietary restrictions. I got the chocolate dipped w/almond waffle bowl with one scoop of cheese cake ice cream ( cheesecake flavored with strawberry ribbons and cheesecake pieces) and one scoop of the flavor of the month pancake ice cream ( pancake and maple flavored ice cream with pancake pieces and blueberry compote swirls ). Both flavors delicious but WOW the pancake ice cream was spectacular. If I had know it would be that good I’d have gotten two scoops of it. Price is a little high and of course toppings are at additional charge , but not outrageous. It’s 2022- everything is expensive these days. For reference , two waffle cone bowls with two scoops each cost about $16.

Dairy Queen is a classic fast-food chain known for its soft-serve ice cream, signature shakes, burgers, and fries. Despite encountering a busy drive-thru with 8 cars in line, the wait inside was short. Customers enjoyed dipped cones and blizzards but noted some cleanliness issues in the bathroom due to high traffic. Additionally, they praised the excellent service and facilities. Another customer expressed satisfaction with a custom cake order for a baby shower, praising the design and friendly staff.
We ordered a baby shower cake for two employees and we were so happy with the design. It exceeded our expectations. We absolutely loved it! Great job DQ! We will order more cakes for sure! Staff was super helpful and friendly. (pic does no justice)

I gave another chance on this location. Went in to order because the drive-thru was of course busy. I went in for 2 blizzards and one specific, i ask for extra chocolate sauce because I wanted chocolate ice cream. I was charged for extra chocolate sauce and still recieved virtually plain vanilla. I won't be back. Yall advertising these blizzards with chocolate ice-cream and can't make one to save your life

I drove through and got a salad and a small basket of chicken fried steak fingers I would have taken it all back but I had already got home and didn't bother with calling them or taking it back in which I should have because I took one bite of the salad and it was awful. I finally threw it away the next day and the steak finger basket never got a also. I asked the lady at the window for a pup cup from my toy Chihuahua and she looked at me like I was crazy. I have been eating at dairy Queen since I was 8 years old but That will be the last time I go to that dairy Queen. Not recommended

Idk why I keep coming back! If I could give negative stars I would. They never listen to your order only what they want to hear and instead of asking for clarification they just guess. The last 3 times I have gone here my order has been wrong! One of which just being a small dipped cone and got a medium regular cone. Not sure how you mess that up but oh well. I’m in the food business and when we mess orders up or miss something it’s not take ln lightly.

Had a terrible experience at this DQ. Was craving a root beer float. It tasted like a watery cream drink. Trying to get out of the drive through line was difficult and the lady at the window was completely impatient with me as the person in front of me was still waiting on their order. Horrible service and terrible float.

First time to this location. Was greeted by Esther as soon as we walked in. Another young lady took our order. Food was out quickly and was nice and hot. Went back and ordered ranch dressing as once again attended quickly. Went back an ordered extra gravy, and Esther brought it to our table quickly. Watched her take care of drive thru orders and even customers dining in. She was very cheerful and made sure everyone was taken care of.

This place was amazing, I was sad at first to spend 40$ for 3 of us to eat another awful take out. This place was not that, food was hot and fresh, veggies on the burger were fresh. The fries were good because you can tell the grease was clean, building and staff were clean, staff very polite and helpful.

Dirty, mid service. I took off half of my order because the prices were NOT as advertised inside. 2-3$ more on a few items. Thats kind of a big jump.. maybe if they told me before I saw it on the screen right before I was about to tap my card I would’ve paid it. No bueno. Update your prices.

My visit was unsatisfying,no greeting,no smiles,no customer service,had to say,,I am ready to order,to get any one to acknowledge me, mistakes were being made to our order as I explained how I wanted our meal prepared,I asked to repeat the order to get it done right,even when our order was done it was wrong,food was blane,skimpy on ingredients, including onion rings,drinks had problem with carbonation causing terrible taste,when asking for corrections to food or drinks, retaliation was observed,having to wait 10 minutes to get corrected,and attitude came with it,water on floor yet no wet sign to warn you of slip hazard,there was no other customers there yet employees were on break on cellphone, quality to food and customer service, sanitary, safety and enjoying atmosphere is a must for me to return to that Dairy Queen.

Just like any fast food it has its good and bad…this Dairy Queen has an asst manager that has been so rude to my kid and caused him to quit yesterday…pretty sure she’s a racist bc she hasn’t gotten along with either of the black people that worked there…and had my son doing more than what he should every shift he worked…yes he complained but nothing was done or he wouldn’t have quit yesterday…she was rude to me for no reason…and nothing happened…Dairy Queen lost one of their best employees yesterday bc of an asst manager that doesn’t know how to be an asst…she’s rude…

Natural goods store
Yo-Way Frozen Yogurt is a popular spot for frozen yogurt in Corpus Christi. The store offers a variety of flavors and toppings, as well as friendly staff.
You can sample every flavor in the store before deciding. They have every topping you could want. Even the ones I'd classify as "might taste good" but never tried. Self-serve, you can put as much topping as you want and from as many different toppings you feel like. Then, pay by the weight. We were celebrating and I wasn't buying at the time, so I had no mercy on my friend's wallet. I assumed it would be noticeably, but not egregiously overpriced. You get what you pay for pretty much anywhere you go... and I got A LOT. Way more than a typical 10 year old could eat during a dare. I could NOT believe it when it was just a couple bucks. IT WAS CHEAP! WAY CHEAPER THAN MARBLE SLAB! So now I know there's a little piece of heaven in Corpus Christi. The only downside is they won't let me put a cot in back so I can wake up each morning and have breakfast yogurt. I don't think humans we're supposed to have access to that level of happiness anyway.

Just stopped im to get some frozen yogurt. The Euro Tart smelled and tasted like it been spoiled. Have been here before and there is most definitely something majorly wrong. When I called tovlet them know, the young lady working could have cared less about my concern. Time to find a better place. Not returning. Poor customer service with no regard for my concerns.

This isn't the best of places for froyo. It has a decent selection of flavors as well as toppings, but in general the place is pretty bland and unkempt. It's an okay spot for something quick to eat but I don't recommend staying to finish what you ordered.

Since its inception in 1995, Yolanda's Specialty Cakes has established itself as a beloved bakery in Corpus Christi, renowned for its delectable offerings. While the star of the show is undoubtedly their specialty cakes, they also delight customers with an array of cupcakes and cookies. One standout treat is their signature thumbprint cookie—a delightful sugar cookie adorned with colorful icing that adds a playful touch.
I have been a Yolanda’s customer for many years and all I can say is that this is the only bakery that consistently makes moist and delicious cakes in Corpus Christi. We have had cake left overs for three days and it is still so fresh, I don’t know how they do it! Anyways my sister’s birthday cake was spot on to the inspiration pic as always!

UPDATE: After speaking directly with the owner they’ve been more than accommodating and apologetic. They’ve refunded the amount of the cake and offered to make a replacement. I appreciate the level of customer service we’ve received throughout this unfortunate situation. Horrific experience for my niece’s high school graduation. The cake was not structured properly and fell apart. To say my niece was disappointed and mortified is an understatement. See photos below and take your business elsewhere

I came for the ube cake and it was incredible! So smooth and moist. I highly recommend it. Also, the ube le crookie was the best. I was lucky enough to try it right out of the oven. They were crispy and decadent. You have to try these! She did advise that it's best to call an hour ahead for them because they sell out so fast. We also took home a mocha cake. Every coffee lovers dream!

Some of the best snacks I’ve had hands down in Corpus Christi. Made with love and care. The picture of the Tostinachos is incomplete because I couldn’t wait to devour them. Me and my girlfriend bought Gansito Shake, TostiNachos, Pepinos Locos, and an order of prepared churros. 10/10 would recommend all of the above.
