Visit to Galway dropped in last minute for coffee after shopping trip to city center, the staff were actually just closing up due to time of year we were visiting . But were so accommodating and friendly we ordered just coffees and a hot chocolate but staff gave us a few complimentary biscuits , which was a lovely touch, coffees were all lovely and biscuits were very tasty , but it was the friendliness of staff made it a memorable experience!

Little happy place.It has a great offer of vegetarian and vegan meals and cakes.I had the apple crumble pie which was worth all the way to Galway, while my boyfriend had a Lemon dizzly cake judged marvelous.It is unfortunate that we were in Galway only one day and we won't be able to come back to have an entire proper meal.The staff was amazing, gentle and kind. I really appreciated the advises given in order to choose the best pieces available.Hope there Will Be the opportunity to come back in the future.

It was our first time in Galway city and since we travel with a small dog, that is too spoilt to be left in any kennel, we were quite limited in our dining in choices. We found Galway to be very welcoming but this place deserves a special praise. Absolutely lovely cafe near the main street, welcoming and warm. It has a great selection of breakfast options, offers generous portions and a very good coffee. I would highly recommend this place.

The food is always delicious and the staff are warm and friendly! It is ideal for meeting friends or eating alone and there are newpapers to keep you amused if eating solo. Oh and they do free tea refill!

Almost missed this place because it's in a side street. Lovely place with an extensive breakfast menu. Crispy bacon is actually crispy, bagels are nice, and chai latte is actually black tea based and not just powder mixed in warm milk. Staff was very patient and friendly. Will definitely come back when in Galway again.
