👍👍 I highly recommend this adorable coffee place. Dave is an exceptional person, extremely friendly, funny and kind. He made sure we were comfortable and gave us complimentary cookies with coffee. It's more than just a coffee place and definitely worth visiting!

👍👍 Lovely little coffee shop hidden (bizarrely) in a mid-terrace amongst an otherwise-uninspiring housing estate. Great service, and despite the name the coffee does contain caffeine.

👍👍 Great coffee, the Hunkute from Calendar is always top class. Caoimhe and Jamie are the best duo and know their coffee stuff inside out! Lovely vibe with great in-house pastries and more!

👍👍 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...

👍👍 Cannot recommend this place enough! Such a terrific hole-in-the-wall cafe that’s a little outside the bars and crowds of Galway. Coffee was perfect and our barista Áine was so friendly! She provided so many local recommendations for food, more coffee, and things to see. You won’t regret coming here.

👍👍 I can safely say: best coffee I've ever had in Ireland in 3y! This place is a find. I was impressed that the croissant butter has the same flavor as the amazing Brazilian bottle butter and it was like biting into pieces of my story. In addition, the coffee comes from the Brazilian Cerrado and it is...

👍👍 Delightful cafe. I was warmly greeted at the door, and thankful that the shop was not overly busy at the time. I’m sure it gets packed at times! Had a very hearty bagel breakfast sandwich (one of the largest I’d seen). This place caters to locals and tourists. Close to the tail/bus station and they...

🫤 Went there again with some friends and what an embarrassing let down. We convinced our friends to go there with us as we had such a great experience during the summer. Food's on the pricier side of things but we all had expectations that we were gonna be blown away. Instead we had a burger that had...

🫤 I used to really like the Pear Tree for its lovely atmosphere but I’m afraid that after my experience today, I will not be returning and will not give any praise about the cafe to friends. The bathroom was in a terrible state with water all over the floor, no toilet paper or paper towels and trash o...

👍👍 Its located next to the Coach Station Galway. The display of the pastries are really nice, and there's acai bowl station. I had a cup of Cappucino, not too bad. It's worth visiting when you are near.

🫤 Very disappointed. Bought the "posh ham & cheese" at first glance I thought prices were fabulous unfortunately you get what you pay for... Cheap packet ham which I got two lumps of fatty jelly in it. Also way too much mayo on the sandwich which was spread on the ham and not the bread. I'm not a coff...

👍 CATS!!! The place is really cute and cozy and it also has a CAT I wish they had more vegan options, they only have a potatoes and pea curry for savory and energy balls for sweet. Now for the cat review 5/5 fluffy and 5/5 cuddly but unfortunately the cat stole my seat so 2/5. I 100% would pet again!

👍 Beautiful quaint vibes filled with positivity. You can order different varieties of coffee or go for tea and go up the stairs and sit in peace. They have soothing music to go with your mood and also have a gallery upstairs. Additional seating out front for those sunny days. Definitely recommend.

👍👍 Fantastic food! The Siciliana pizza is one of the best authentic Italian pizzas I've tried. Try dipping the crust in their pesto mayo too.
