We needed a coffee break while walking around the Galway area. This is off the main street into an alley so it was kinda hidden. 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. read more

This is such a very chic cafe. It is very hidden just off the main street at the end of a dark alley and Voila!!!! 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. My favourite is the chocolate brownie where they warm it up for you another good choice is the Rocky Road. As I've arrived before closing and wasn't able to try their sandwich. 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. read more

As soon as I stepped into Pascal's I was happy I did! The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. As soon as I entered I was shown to a free table and given a menu. The cappuccino came very quickly and the pancakes I ordered as well! They state to have the best pancakes; and indeed they are scrumptious! I totally agree they are the best When I'm back in Galway again, I definitely will come again! Highly recommend! read more

Service was good, quick, and coffee was delicious. This place was recommended by some of our friends. It was great.

Three stars because I'm pretty sure this is a *me* problem and not a restaurant problem. The people were very nice and the service was fast and attentive. But I got a pancake and some fried eggs and as soon as it arrived at my table I smelled this awful sulfur-like scent. I looked around at the other tables and no one else seemed put off, so I think it's just from the cooking fats they use at this restaurant. Maybe they use actual lard and I'm just not used to it? I'm unsure. I took a bite anyways to be adventurous and I started to gag. It's a taste I'm just not used to. It permeated the pancake and I could smell it on the eggs, so it definitely has to be whatever they cook the food in. If you're from North America truthfully you're probably used to garbage cooking oils, like me, and here they're probably using actual animal fats. But my pallet is my pallet and I couldn't take more than one bite of anything. read more

Found Pascals tucked away among the stores in a shopping center in Galway. You have to look around carefully because Yelp does not have the location quite right. Really nice place with great service with a smile! We got hot chocolate and an iced vanilla latte and both were top notch. read more

Oh my goodness! What a perfect breakfast spot in Galway, right around the corner from our Airbnb. We all had different pancake dishes and were they ever delicious! I had the lemon curd and blueberry pancakes with a healthy garnish of whipped cream. They were absolutely fabulous. Their espresso drinks were also on point. Top it off with friendly Irish service and you've got yourself a winner here at Pascal. Also really nice to have free wi-fi for us intrepid travelers. Wish I had something like this close to home! read more

Pascal Coffee House - Lemon curd and blueberry pancakes. Yum! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Galway, G

After a disappointing visit the previous week to Yelps No 1 eating house in Galway, I was reluctant to see what else it was bigging up for me to try. However I spotted Pascals and a Yelp Elite member had written a glowing review and his is an opinion I trust. And I'm glad I did because Pascals is a great find. I sat down and perused their menu, two menus actually. They had a nifty infographic style coffee menu too. I liked it a lot. I ordered a bacon and cheese toasted croissant with some relish on the side. It was perfect, as I wasn't looking for a big plate of food. The coffee was nice too, an americano with a lovely creme on top. The staff where very friendly and nice. The decor grand. The facilities were very clean too. The WiFi was a cool bonus, as the mobile reception complete dropped off when inside here. Definitely recommended. I was kinda sorry I didn't have a bigger appetite, as the pancakes looked fricken amazing. I will be back. read more

I would recommend Pascals to anyone who is looking for a catch up with a friend over coffee or lunch as the seating area here is really nice and spacious. It's in a great location just off of shop street - but is in a quiet area which takes you away from the feeling that you are in a busy town. Because of this atmosphere this is one of the main places in Galway I enjoy eating here on my own for a quick lunch. Everything is also reasonably priced; in the receipt I have attached you can see a soup is €5 and a cappuccino is €3 which is alright value for great quality food. I particularly enjoyed this experience as the girl who served me couldn't have been any nicer! She was so welcoming and warm and made me feel like a really valued customer - thank you Jiyoon. There is a great selection on their menu and I have yet to try much more from them. read more

First time in Galway. Such a yummy little find! Coffee was so fresh that the espresso did not need sugar. The young ladies that work there are sweet and friendly. Eggs, sausage and sour dough toast were prepared fresh and served in 10 minutes. read more

Best coffee Ive had in Ireland! The baguette with Bacon, sausage, rocket leaves and relish was also excellent and the staff was fantastic. I asked for cream for my Americano which seems odd in Ireland. They brought me both whipped cream and a side of creamer. It's a little hard to find. If youjust enter Williams Street (pedestrian only) pass the Oscar Wilde statue hang a left and then another quick left before the big store entrance. It's worth searching for. read more

Was a bit strange to not be able to carry out, but we wound up staying to eat anyway. I had the sweet potato fries and the bruschetta, both of which were fantastic. The bruschetta was amazing and the gluten free bread was probably the best of its kind I've ever had. read more

Try this tast test: A latte for 1.70 at Centra near the Eye Cinema and a latte at Arabica for 3.20 I did. The result? Arabica is better --- by a tiny margin. Why did I do a taste test? Because though I have had plenty of coffee from this local Arabica - I was refused service today in quite a rude way. When I went there this morning I ordered my usual latte to go. I assumed they understood I meant the smallest. -- for 2.60. When I went to pay I was told the price was 2.90. Why? I asked. The small or short is only available for sitting down said the owner. Really? I said. There was no sign to indicate that at all. The owner looked at me like I was stupid (and I felt stupid) so Iasked him where it indicated this. His reply: forget it. Then he turned around, ignoring me. No coffee. Really rude -- but whatever. Then I went on, and drove around to Centra -- and I got to tell you as someone who is very very picky about his coffee -- the Centra coffee was not too shabby. Good beans, not too burnt, strong and hot enough. read more

Just updating this review as I've been a few more times and seen a lot of little details and improvements that I missed first time around. First off, Pascals is probably the most child-friendly coffee shop I've ever been too. There's a little nook full of toys and colouring books for you to stash your yung'uns and a station for heating and serving baby food and bottles. Secondly, the food is really great here too. The cakes and bagels are delicious, and excellent companions to the coffee. Definitely my favourite spot in Galway. read more

Oh my goooossshhhh this was a happy little stop for lunch. A group of us were walking around Galway, and looking for somewhere with free wifi an coffee. This was such a great selection. There are so many coffee shops and cafés in Galway, but this one is great for food too! We each loved our lunches. I ordered the bacon pancakes& they were delicious. We also ordered a soup and sandwich, both I was told were amazing. :) the environment changes with the crowds; we were there for quite a long time. There was a rush of young mothers, and families, and then really quiet for about an hour. It is a very causal place, wait staff is great. read more

This place is SOOOOO GOOD. I have to say they were the first cafe to put in a proper milk foam for my cappuccino. Not being picky but typically cappuccino is supposed to have more foam than a latte. Anyways...so their coffee is good. But they're food was AMAZING. I got a breakfast croissant sandwich. Freshly baked! And it comes with Irish cheese and these thick slabs of bacon. I also added poached eggs to that. Honestly one of the best meals I've had here. The eggs were perfect and the tomato chutney it came with was delightful. Little sweet and savory action there. Bonus : has wifi! It's a little hidden gem tucked away in the corner. A must try place. I wish I had time to make a second trip here! Yummo! read more

I've had a lot of cups of coffee in Galway and can say that Arabica's coffee is consistently the best in the city and in the county. My personal favourite is the White Mocha. I introduced a cousin visiting from Boston to one of these speciality coffees. He drank his coffee in silence, but when he finished it, he said it was the best coffee he'd ever had in his 75 years. I think that says it all right there. read more

What a lovely spot! We were able to take refuge from the cold and rain and enjoy soy lattes in their upstairs area. The place was packed with others with the same idea, but there was plenty of space, free wifi and the service was excellent. Loved my latte (with fabulous foam)! read more

Pancakes. With bacon. 'nuf said! Really, that's all you need to know. But yelp won't let me be so brief, so I'll add that the coffee is good too, and the staff is friendly. It's tucked away in a corner so a bit hard to find but worth it. Oh, and they have a little play kitchen for kids, very cute. read more

had breakfast here twice. great stuff, friendly staff

I'm writing this while I'm in there, wow this place is great! Amazing service, amazing food and the best coffee. BUT the best thing about this place is the music they play, I came in here with NO earphones because they broke, and I don't even need them. Mumford and sons??? GREAT!! I'm so happy I found this place, will definitely be returning with some friends so everyone knows about it! read more

Very nice place. The staff are friendly and the mocha was delicious. I haven't tried the food but I will the next time I'm in there.
