    Power salad!
    Lava Y.

    Lovely bright cafe near the Spanish arch. The menu has many tasty options from healthy salads and wraps to cooked dishes like fish cakes and breakfast options. You can also add toppings of chicken, ham or crispy tofu for an extra 1.50 euro. The coffee is great too and you have the option of soya milk. The cafe itself is very airy, bright and spacious and provides outdoor seating overlooking the river Corrib, so it's a great place to go to on a sunny day. However, the only reason I gave it 3 stars and not 5 was the service. The staff are extremely inattentive and slow, and it took ages to just get their attention. The food takes really long to come, about 20 mins for just salad. They also never seem to check on customers if everything is ok.

    Lovely decor

    Really want to give 5 stars but the service let it down a little. The staff are inattentive and seem totally disinterested in their job. Perhaps I caught them on an off day! The food is fab great choice of healthy dishes something different can be found here. The decor is lovely with seating outside available too.

    Pancakes, The best Tea ever and Chorizo Hash!

    Since I don't live in Galway city, I spend a lot of my time there wandering around looking for somewhere to sit and do some work, grab some food and just kill the time! This is the perfect spot for all of that. They also do a great breakfast, which is the golden egg for me. I'm borderline obsessed with French Toast at this stage. It's a good batch here too, though I might complain that I'd prefer my maple syrup on the side, whereas here its already poured over. That said, I've been here maybe three times now, and I haven't asked them to change it...so it's obviously not that bad! The place is bright and airy and right by the river, so quiet but with a nice bustle. As far as I know it gets pretty busy at brunch, though we had no problem getting a table the one Sunday we made it. The service is great, the food is delicious and there's a lot of creativity in the decor. It's cute without being hipster in the slightest and the crowd reflects that. Great chai latte too, probably the best I've had! YUM

    meatloaf with potatoes and salad.

    Great for brunch or just tea and cake. Progressive, interesting menu in a clean, comfortable open space right next to the museum.
