"Galveston, Texas is a tourist- oriented city and any place that is popular with tourists is certain to have lots of places to eat and drink. That includes coffee shops, and one place I visited just recently is Red Light Coffee Roasters, located just a little west of downtown Galveston and the Strand. With this coffee shop, you get the usual assortment of coffee beverages, along with whole bean bags of coffee to go, and assorted, refrigerated drinks you can also purchase to take home. The coffee drinks are good overall, and my cup of Americano was just what I needed when I stopped by here on a Saturday evening. It was hot, rich, and roasty. Red Light Coffee Roasters has a large coffee roasting machine, right there to greet you, when you enter the building. The roaster is red in color- naturally- and its presence does add to the atmosphere. It’s comforting knowing that you’re in a place where the beans are roasted fresh, adding to the quality of the coffee. They do serve some pastries at Red Light Coffee Roasters. I arrived too late to get a pastry, but they did have pre- packaged snacks, like dark chocolate bars and peanut protein bars. I grabbed a dark chocolate bar, since I knew it would match well with my dark coffee, and it certainly did. I like coffee shops that have assorted seating options, and Red Light Coffee Roasters does have a few choices, including a limited number of outdoor chairs and tables. I like the fact that there is a couch, because I prefer to sit on a couch to enjoy my coffee with my wife. Another couch would be good, but at least they have one and since there were so few people there when I arrived thirty minutes before closing time, we were able to grab it. Red Light Coffee Roasters is located west of the Strand, far enough west that there is free parking on the street. It’s a good place for a tasty cup of coffee and the space is small enough that it shouldn’t get too loud to enjoy conversation. It’s a fine place to visit for coffee and snacks in this seaside town."

"It was a long time ago that we had a decent cappuccino, but the barista at the Red Light not only nailed it, but made it a piece of art! We will be back to enjoy more cappuccinoos and the wonderful ambience."

"I don't consider myself a coffee snob by any means, but I definitely can tell the difference between a mid cup of coffee and an exceptional one. Redlight Coffee was the best coffee I've found while on trip here. House-made syrups and they roast their own beans in house. The espresso has notes of caramel and chocolate and is extremely smooth. I came three times during our short stay and even bought some of their beans home with me. The shaken espresso with sweet cream was amazing! I added two extra shots the second time I ordered it as I prefer very coffee-forward drinks, but it was still perfectly balanced. The flat white and Spicy Mocha were also wonderful. Highly recommend! Extremely chill atmosphere and kind staff."

"I stopped by Red Light Coffee Roasters in Galveston and tried their brown sugar iced latte — it was so good I drank it way too quickly! The flavor was perfectly balanced, just the right amount of sweetness. The atmosphere inside the coffee shop was cozy and rustic, a really welcoming place to relax. I’ll definitely be back next time I'm in town!"

"Excellent place! Coffee is very good really enjoyed my Flat White. The chocolate croissant was pretty good. Place is very nice and comfortable inside. Outside is nice too as long as it’s not windy. Highly recommend."
