👍👍 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.

👍👍 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...

Cafe
👍👍 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...

The Pear Tree Café & Wine Bar
Cafe
🫤 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...

👍 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.

Bar Italia Ciarlantini

👍 Good find. I'm not sure the barista understood me. I asked for the cannoli and she said it was made with vanilla cream. I asked again if it was fresh ricotta cheese and she said it wasn't. So, I opted for the chocolate cannoli. Not a huge fan of vanilla. The small bar is nice and with some lovely It...

An Tobar Nua
Coffee shop
😠 Just FYI for would-be customers: this place is a fundamentalist Christian church plant. I started realizing that when I noticed the music playing was Christian contemporary, and the monitor kept showing ads for Bible studies. I looked them up, and they’re funded by Foundation in Christ ministries,...

🫤 The best coffee and some of the best baristas in town. We normally order a coconut flat white or latte as they're delicious. We were, however, given cow's milk instead on two separate occasions. Not an issue, I'm sure, for many customers, but it's off-putting (to say the least) for those of us avoi...

😠 Arrived with my daughter, staff member female dark hair came to the table with a really angry/ moody face and was very unpleasant. We ordered the food and a cappuccino. The food took ages and we had to send it back because the sandwich wasn't even toasted. The cappuccino was black, bitter, cold... v...
