As someone who genuinely enjoys the taste of coffee this latte was the best one I had on my trip to Ireland! That being said, if you're someone who likes flavors, iced coffees, and loads of sugary taste in your coffee you likely won't enjoy it. The cafe itself is adorable and the staff is so friendly. I highly recommend if you're a coffee lover in Galway!

The menu looks great so I decided to have brunch even though I already had breakfast. I got a latte, strawberry pancakes and a raisin scone. You order at the counter and they will bring the food to your table. I'm normally not a pancake person, but when I saw other customers eating it I was craving some all of a sudden. They were fluffy and scrumptious. The scone was a tad try but not bad with the butter it came with. The hot latte was perfect on that one cold day we visited. If only I hadn't already had breakfast, I think I would have ordered even more food.

I've ordered a very soothing Hot Chai Tea Latte with just enough spice to have the flavour but not over powering. I've also tried 3 different cakes.

The service was great, as you ordered at the counter and they will bring everything and serve it on your table so you get to enjoy the time in the cafe with buddies, read your book or browse online with free Wi-Fi.

The service was flawless from start to finish, with staff who were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The quaint, cozy interior had such a charming and homelike feel that it felt less like dining in a restaurant and more like being welcomed into someone's beautifully curated home. A memorable experience all around and a place we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Galway.

The space itself is small and cozy, with just a handful of tables and a private room, which gives it that intimate, tucked‑away feel. I'd 100% go back. They offer two specialty cocktails and a wine list, and while the cocktail selection is limited, the wines are unique and fantastic -- definitely worth exploring. The food was outstanding across the board. The monkfish scampi isn't what you might picture, but it's fantastic -- super crispy and full of flavor. And you have to get the bread: tomato focaccia or brown bread, then topped with the fennel, thyme, and maple butter were all unforgettable. The bavette steak was delicious, and the mashed potatoes were truly out of this world. The sea trout was incredibly fresh; just a heads‑up that the gremolata is spread over the whole dish, so it ends up almost poached in olive oil -- worth noting for anyone sensitive to that, but the flavor itself was excellent. Definitely end the night with the affogato and the shortbread cookies (chef's kiss). Who doesn't like to dunk their dessert? Highly recommend, would absolutely come back.

Unfortunately they were only service afternoon tea today instead of my preferred dessert tea, but I do feel it was worth the price. 25€ (per person) for Afternoon Tea, including the tea of your choice (I went with a white Rose tea), savory sandwiches (egg salad, ham, goat cheese), scone, and tea cakes (pictured here) Not only did everything taste great, but I loved that they had their own flavor palattes and all-natural colorings, especially since they were so bright!

Also it's easy access with free parking and only 10 mins from the town centre located next to the Aquarium in Salthill, overlooking the prom. For food, they tick all the boxes for cafe food; sandwiches, wraps, salads, soup, breakfast (fry ups, muesli, oatmeal, scramble eggs etc. ), all under €10. There's also a few desserts which change everyday, usually cakes, brownies, cupcakes, cookies etc. They also have kids menu with each thing costing only 2.50, but it's quite limited. The service is average, nothing particularly fantastic or anything. The inside of the cafe is pretty spacious with lots of tables, and it's really bright near the windows, but kind of dark on the back half of the cafe. On a good day, the outdoor seating is pretty nice too. Coffee is great!! Arabica is one of the two best places in Galway for coffee, the other being Mocha Beans in my opinion. You can have it soya for 50 cent extra, or add syrup for and extra 20 cent. This Arabica was also probably about the only cafe open on Boxing Day in the whole city!!

I visited along with my friend for lunch, and we ordered the Cajun chicken Panini, gourmet chicken panini and a bowl of soup with a side of bread/butter. Each of the paninis were cooked to perfection -- you could literally taste the flavor of everything in each one. The Cajun was the perfect blend of chicken and cheese. The gourmet was an incredible mix of sweet and salty. Seriously could not recommend these more...so so impressed. We were so hungry, that I never got a chance to take a photo of the food - ha! I also ordered the soup of the day which came with their homemade bread -- truly incredible. I'm still raving about this and am so glad it was recommended. A MUST stop in Galway! Will be returning no doubt.
