The AveO Supports Small and Local Business!
We are a small business ourselves, so supporting small and local businesses is a no-brainer for us. This is our chance to highlight some of our favorite vendors.
Galveston Coffee Roasters is just up the road off 23rd Street downtown, less than a mile from The AveO. This local couple offers freshly roasted custom blends and a huge selection of flavored coffees. Our morning breakfast is paired with one of their many deep rich flavored coffees.

A surplus garden led this entrepreneur to creating natura hand-cut soaps. These small-batch soaps contain all natural ingredients. Samples of 'Ruby', a custom bar made from our own grapefruits are available in each suite at The AveO. Click here for more information about this socially responsible small business.

J Bangle Galleries is another local shop with unique items, many of them historic. This small business is located just up the street at 25th Street & Avenue L. We purchased a piece of wall from Mr. Bangle. When we visited last, the original desk from the Balinese Room was on display. He is always getting in something new and interesting.

Dorothy May's Gift Shop is just one of those cute little shops you have to stop in every time you're downtown. Many of our cozy throws and playful amenity dishes come from Dorothy May's. They are conveniently located on Strand Street between 21st & 22nd Streets.

The Jewel Garden is another shop on Strand Street, the main street downtown. It is a must-visit. They have jewelry and watches, unique gifts, and a wide variety of home decor. Their items are truly interesting and unique. Items from this Galveston shop are displayed at The AveO with pride.

Robert Peterson creates sea animal paintings that appear as though they can leap right off of the canvas. His gallery, Vacation on Canvas, is conveniently located at 22nd & Post Office. An original painting of Robert's is proudly displayed at The AveO.

Conversation Pieces, at 21st & Strand offers an eclectic collection of interesting home decor, gifts, jewelry, and clothing. A couple of the art pieces seen throughout The AveO were purchased here.

Island Framed offers professional custom framing, as well as design and preservation services. Their experience can help to preserve your artwork. Some of The AveO's most precious pieces were framed by Island Framed. They are located at 25th & Church Street.
