Similar to Alexandra M., I was drawn in by the raspberry meringues on display in their window when…read morewalking by, but I was lucky enough to be able to purchase one. These meringues ALONE are reason to seek this little bakery out. I may even go so far as to say when visiting Ireland make sure to go to Galway so you can experience them. I'm serious. They're that good. After purchasing it I rationed it out over a couple days knowing it was likely going to be years before I got another one. Just thinking about it makes me want to go back to Ireland...

It was absolutely a treat. Delightful food, nice welcome and perhaps the tightest seating in what…read moreis likely the smallest cafe I've ever dined in. There's much more room in their restroom. I was literally stuck in my micro seat with my tummy wedged by the table. I've never been so trapped since I was in Giza's largest pyramid - the pyramid of Khufu with a breeze of 50c wafting through. We paid at the counter first and our order was in turn delivered to our micro table. We got two cappuccinos, an apple turnover, or as they put it, chausson aux pommes and an almond croissant. Everything was so delicious and the turnover was buttery appley exceptional. Sliding doors stuff as I'd been in another cafe 5 minutes away earlier that day that I thought I'd lunch in but the coffee it the other place - the separately reviewed Gourmet Tart Co - wasn't good. Had I not tasted their coffee we would have lunched in the Tart place and not gone here. Some days are diamond.

This place was cute so I decided to check it out. I ordered a raspberry croissant (which seemed…read moreunique since I've never seen one before), an apple turnover for an early morning the next day, and a mint hot chocolate. The raspberry croissant had raspberry jam inside, which was interesting and pretty good. Have yet to try the turnover. The mint hot chocolate was nicely made and the lady was nice to offer to top it off with marshmallows and chocolate shavings. I tried the Apple turnover this morning and it was really good. Doesn't apply to this item since I ate it the next day, but in general, would be good to offer or have an option to warm the pastries.

I have gone back to Goyas each and every year I visit Galway over 10 years ago. Goyas is nestled in the quiet nook of Kirwans which is the possibly the sweetest lane in Galway (a tourist point of view) ... this spot never disappoints. It is has become a bit of a tradition, to enjoy dome tea and scones while catching up with friends and family. Enjoy the Spanish Arch, and DO NOT miss a trip to Goyas!!!

Getting to Galway suuuuuuper late & we were hungry - on the verge of HANGry, lol…read more We were so lucky to stumble upon this cute, little spot that is open pretty late. Looking from the outside into this place - I wouldn't pick this place to be open this late - 1am! The club across the street seemed to be one of the more popular ones so it makes it great for people-watching. If that's your cup-o-tea. It wasn't that busy for a Saturday night - but that a plus for us. We were seated right away - and she took our order immediately. As I did every day I was in Europe, I ordered a Latte. They had a huuuuuuuge selection of savoury and sweet crepes so whatever you're craving - I'm sure you'll find something that'll tickle your pickle :) I opted for the Nutella and Roasted Almonds crepe. It came with a dollop of whipped cream & a mini scoop of ice cream. It hit the spot, soooo yummy! The service was great, nothing to complain about :) We tried to go the next day for brunch but it was St. Patrick's Day so the streets were shut down and shops were closed so sadly, we didn't get to go back. I totally recommend this spot for your late-night cravings.
