They have both inside and outside dining, really liked the decor and vibe. We went in afternoon and it was not crowded. Carrot cake was delicious, liked the vintage style tea cups and oversize coffee mugs. They had so many varieties of tea, was difficult yo choose from. Chai latte was delicious as well.

Süßes Café mit guter Auswahl und fairen Preisen. Leider war mein Pistazie-Himbeere-Tartelett kaum essbar, es bestand wirklich zu 95% aus einer riesigen Masse an extrem süßer Pistazien-Creme. Und auch mein Chai Latte war zu süß.

Consiglio assolutamente! Se sei a Galway e vuoi farti una pausa questo è il locale ideale. Io ci sono andata per colazione e il cibo che offrono è buonissimo. Il locale poi è molto accogliente e sul retro ha questo piccolo giardino molto carino. Le ragazze che lo gestiscono sono molto brave e sorridenti.
