Service and ambience were both good, and the staff was friendly. The food was a bit of a mixed experience. The vegi bap was delicious. Unfortunately, the pancakes were disappointing, they were chewy and tasted more store-bought than freshly made.

Response from the owner

Thanks for your review Saqib, we can 100% assure that our pancakes are not store bought.

My Mum and I stopped here after an appointment in the Galway clinic. First timers here. We savoured a long awaited for Latte and Cappuccino at €3.70 each. We ordered lasagna with salad and chips and chicken curry and rice from the specials menu, both reasonably priced at €14 each. Overall, the coffee and fare was very good with hearty portions. Recommended if in the area.

Response from the owner

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at our café. We're delighted to hear that you and your mum enjoyed your coffee and meals, especially the lasagna and chicken curry from our specials menu. We always aim to provide good value and hearty portions, so it's great to hear that we hit the mark for you. We hope to see you again if you're in the area.

Best Regards.
