    As Scandinavians, we love our cinnamon rolls. And we get frequently disappointed when we encounter buns that are too big / sweet / small / sticky / dry / fancy. Give us a cinnamon roll that is soft and fragrant with hints of cardamom, delicately glazed and still warm from the oven. Which is exactly what we got at Kali. We passed by the coffee shop in the morning and were drawn in by the box of fresh buns waiting behind the counter. The front and interior is really inviting too. And the staff were so kind and friendly, it really gave us a great start to the day. Coffee is, of course, fantastic. We'll be back next time we visit Galway.

    Incredibly good coffee served up in a cozy café staffed by wonderful people. Got the "secret menu" natural processed Ethiopian as a spro and a flat white, both excellent and perfectly extracted. One of the baristas walked me through the story of the beans in the roast, and I really appreciated his attention to detail.

    I visited this coffee shop 3/3 days that I was in Galway. The barista was friendly and took the time to explain the different coffee options and helped me pick something that suited my tastes perfectly! . Their passion for coffee was evident. The ambiance was inviting: the atmosphere was cozy and the outdoor garden space in the back a welcome break from the city's bustle. The coffee itself was exceptional, bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. The attention to detail in presentation added a special touch.

    The best coffee (batch brew) we had in Ireland by far. Also very beautiful, peaceful garden. Such a shame we were there only for two mornings.

    Really great flat white. I love that they don’t have charge for milk alternatives. Also, delicious pastries. I love the Christmas cookie!

    Great coffee, excellent service, lovely atmosphere. It's a real treat to have such an excellent coffee shop in the middle of Salthill. Probably my favorite coffeeshop in Galway!

    This is great little coffee shop in the heart of Salthill. Laura, Enda and Lana always have a warm welcome for you and your dog. You pop in for a coffee and stay for the chat. Don’t forget to bring your knitting or crochet on Thursday evenings. BTW the coffee is great too!

    Had an Iced Mocha. 10/10, best coffee in Galway. Have recommended to others to visit if they are serious about their coffee.

    A beautiful calm friendly place that makes incredible coffee. The team are so lovely and warm, such an addition to Salthill and Galway. Dog friendly and calendar ☕ served. A must visit and they have a not so secret garden now out the back.
