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.

We were attracted by the name - Pura Vida which is pretty much the motto of the country Costa Rica,…read moreand means literally "pure life" but in Costa Rica more generally refers to "the good life". The restaurant lives by the meaning with lots of pure and organic foods. I had Organic Porridge with banana, walnuts and honey. Salt caramel muffin and latte. Porridge (oatmeal) was good, creamy and buttery. Muffins were also delicious. Cute shop with nicely decorated upstairs seating or outside on the odd day it's not rainy. Service is friendly and good. Located right near the Spanish Arch.

Suitably smothered in chocolate on the limbs, with loads of sweets to decorate. They're perfectly chewy without being moist, and they're really flavourful with ginger. The staff are always so sweet in here-- once I had picked up two but only had a twenty to pay, and rather than run to break the note, she allowed me to take the two for the price of one. When I came back in the next time and paid for my free biscuit, they were just so grateful! It was really lovely.
