Texas Star Bakery

The lady behind the counter told me that they only had pork tamales, spicy or mild. I told her that I would have one each. She proceeded to give me one dozen each! If she had told me it was a dozen I wouldn't have ordered it and I would have missed the best tamales I've had in 30 years! They do offer chicken and beef by special orders, paid in advance. The bakery goods were very good, but not better than some I've had on the island.

I went their twice. Very rude service! The 1st time was ok. The 2nd time bought 3 different types of cookies. 2 types were stale & hard as a brick & I had to throw everything away. Poor quality ingredients were also used. I will never go back!

Very good tamales and baked goods. We will come again, only earlier! We appreciate the owner taking the time to talk to us. She was busy but still made time.

I was pretty excited about stopping here. We would pickup goodies here when I was a kid. Storytime.. hahaha When I was a kid we would go visit my grandma in Alice Tx.. The Water.. Tasted Different than the water in Houston TX. To my Grandma.. the water tasted normal. To the folks in Galveston.. Im sure this place taste normal. But to someone that is hasnt been here. We will notice there is an old smell to these bakery items. As soon as I opened the bag.. I could smell.. the oven.. pans are old and that smell is part of the cookies. I was so looking forward to eating the Pecan Powered Sugar Cookies. The oatmeal cookie I could eat. I paid $10.00 for the cookies. The person working was quick to get my stuff together.. she seemed rushed to get me out. short and to the point. ha haha The place

One day I decided to stop at Star bakery on Broadway in Galveston for some tamales they was very huge amount of meat in them the favor was also good I got the spicy one .I was a little upset to hear they will be closing down soon she will be selling all her properties .
