A simple salad with roasted chicken and avocado was surprisingly delicious, fresh, and unique. The brown bread was the best I've had so far in Galway. read more

Went for brunch here this morning to try a traditional Irish breakfast for the first time! It was delicious as well as a beautiful spread on the plate. In addition, the atmosphere was a cute, trendy with light colored wood and pendant lighting. It was a great place for a brunch date :) The servers were very nice and I also got a pot of tea that was a great addition to my meal. Overall a great experience! read more

Great breakfast here before exploring the city of Galway! We arrived shortly after they opened on a Sunday morning, so were seated pretty quickly, but it was very busy with a wait by the time we left around 11am. Menu had plenty of variety and healthy options which we really appreciated! Loved their smoothies. Staff were friendly but the service was slower as they got busier. Ambiance is bright and homey with plenty of natural light. read more

Absolutely loved this place! The staff is so friendly and the ambiance is very aesthetically pleasing. I saw some saying the place was a tad pricey but they really do give a large portion of food. They also have a lovely drink and dessert selection at the front. read more

Lovely ambience. Pancakes were fresh and tasty. Best scrambled eggs I've ever had in a restaurant. Fresh and cooked perfectly. Coconut smoothly was a nice treat. Friends got avocado toast and French toast with berries and mascarpone and they said they were delicious and presented nicely. read more

I been a regular client here and i have cons and pros, the food is really good even though a kinda expensive for what it is Sometimes the waiting line takes too much but I understand that's out of their control, the service sometimes is good and not some others today i was served by a girl named larissa she's incredibly nice and you can tell she likes to be there that's always a good sign, my lunch was great today thanks for the delicious food And the service of larissa. read more

Oh my gosh, I cannot rave about this place enough. It's adorably decorated on the second floor of a building in the middle of downtown Galway, with a hipster, rustic sort of ambiance. I ordered the Chicken Focaccia, and it was easily the best sandwich I had in all of my time in Galway. It was perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked, with a mouth-watering mozzarella and herb sauce. The menu was reasonably priced, with my sandwich melt being a little bit under 9€. The staff were friendly and attentive. Would GLADLY return, again and again. I can not recommend them enough as a great lunch spot in an ideal part of town. read more

Amazing! The French toast was delicious. I used the marscapone from the plate on my scone, which made it next-level. The smoothie itself was well-balanced in flavor and also delicious. I came on a Friday morning and it wasn't busy at all. I got my food in under 5 minutes and the staff were really nice. Will definitely be coming again. read more

Stopped here for lunch wasn't sure if it was a tourist trap or not. I'm a huge eater but WOW the serving size is massive. Sandwiches were excellent and huge! Only downsize was the wine pour, was about 1/2 a normal glass so was slightly disappointing for some members of our group - but the Guinness was great :) All in all a nice place on the "main" street to pop in for a great lunch! read more

The place was very clean, someone was cleaning the entry stairs as we arrived. We did not need to wait long to be seated and the wait staff was very accommodating. We enjoyed a late morning breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage roll and a cinnamon roll/bun/doughnut with chocolate on the inside and out. A case of the eyes being too big for the stomach. We should have shared one of the decadent treats We talked about this being a place we would visit again. read more

Delicious sandwiches and pleasant service. We both had the spicy chicken with meted cheese and jalapeños. Great!

Pricey but Tasty! Ate here last week for lunch and always wanted to try here. The interior is amazing, it's such a unique restaurant and fits in well with Galway. The staff were friendly when we first arrived and showed us to a table I got the chicken focaccia but it was hard to decide as everything sounded really good. When our food arrived everything looked really good but we realised it was a little pricey for what we got. There were no sides or chips. If there was a little side salad I would say it was good value but It was just the sandwich on its own. When I took my first bite there was something really hard that I did not expect in my bite - a wishbone. I took it out and began to chew again but there were two more small sharp pieces of bone. This could have been dangerous for someone who swallowed their food quickly. Other than that it tasted great! Great quality food & taste. I didnt want to make a fuss over it so I didnt call the waitress over but I would have stated it if she asked "if everything was alright" just to warn staff for future customers sake but she didnt ask so I decided to write a review. I will definitely be returning to dry some if their coffees & hot chocolates as the drinks menu looked delicious! read more

This place is great! The ambiance is really neat and casual, the employees were friendly, the prices are fair, and the food is delicious! I went for brunch with some friends and we all loved our food. Located in the middle of the lovely Latin Quarter, it's a hidden gem upstairs above a gift shop. We'll definitely be back! read more

Stopped here with a few of my friends for our one evening in Galway, and I definitely was not disappointed! It's kind of hidden, but not nearly as packed as most of the restaurants on Shop street. The aesthetic is very cool and chic, we sat at a table with a cute little window seat overlooking the street. The prices are also not bad at all-- I had a sandwich, cup of soup and tea and it came out to around €12. The staff are absolutely lovely and even split the bill for us (we were a group of 4). There are a ton of options on the menu, and you can order both lunch and dinner meals for either meal. It was definitely a great place to stop in, for a good bite and a look over the shopping centre below. read more

What lovely staff! There girl who was serving us [she sounded like she had an Ulster accent] was exceptional. Give this girl a pay rise! I came here for some teas, coffees, rice crispy cakes and brownies with my boyfriend and a friend of mine who recommended the place. Lovely surroundings, comfy couch and friendly staff make this place perfect. Next time I am in Galway I want to come back and try some food. You would almost miss this place on Shop Street as it is up a staircase next to Zhivago. Don't almost miss it. Find it! read more

A walk up the stairs to an open area with views of the shoppers and music artists on the street. Put your feet up and rest while sipping a cider and sharing a power salad (enough for two). read more

We had a 2 hr stop in Galway and we're pleased to find this great restaurant. It was probably the best service and food we've had during our trip to Ireland from the states. The staff was VERY friendly, checked on us to ensure the food was to our liking (something we haven't experienced abroad), and was very quick (but not pushy). Thank you for making us feel like we were at home!! read more

really great breakfast, super generous portions, cute environment, very cozy! seemed to be understaffed, food came out quickly enough and staff was friendly but we were left waiting to pay for about 30 mins! we were hoping to leave a bit sooner than that. once again, really nice place and the food was so good, but quite a bit of wait on the back end! read more

Great decor. Decent coffee. Good menu - Well worth a visit and the location is excellent.

We just stopped in here for a coffee and cake as we'd eaten lunch earlier. It's a lovely room with diy-chic (can't believe IBM typing that) in the form of scaffolding painted gold that breaks up the room using sheets of muslin. I had a raspberry and almond cake with some delicious Bristot coffee (I'm becoming a big fan!) while Aoife had a vanilla chai latte. This place is a sister business of 37 West in Newcastle so if the food is half as good as it is there then it's good. I will come back to test the theory. read more

Popped in here for my first bite to eat in Galway and was not disappointed whatsoever. The skylight makes for a very nice atmosphere in the restaurant. I got the bruschetta trio and a glass of prosecco with elderflower something or other and everything was amazing. I don't even know what elderflower is but I like it. read more

This was the most pleasant surprise. We were just walking around and saw a sign for it. We walked up stair and it was beautiful. We ordered soup, bruschetta, chips, chicken focaccia, the burger and a bottle of prosecco. I can't complain about any of it. BE SURE TO STOP IN HERE! read more

Great little breakfast spot!! It was located upstairs and had a great view of Galway Center. I wanted something different and was happy they had French toast. They give a good quantity of food and the bacon was so yummy! They also had great cakes and desserts, however, it was a little early for me to try them, maybe next time. I would definitely come back here again. read more
