The best afternoon snack to have an Ireland is tea and a scone. I popped into this cute little…read moreplace right in the middle of the shopping area. It has an all white interior with a few tables. You order at the front counter They had a good variety of pastries and bread. They also had some savory things to like sandwiches. There is also a bathroom. The first time I went, it was around two or 3 o'clock. They were out of some things. I opted for a plain scone and a cup of tea. It was only €3.90! The scone are big. It came with butter and jam. They were delicious. My sister had an almond croissant that she said was also delicious. They had a variety of different teas. The second time I came in the morning, I had the fruit scone. It was also delicious with little bits of dried fruit in it. I also bought one to go. The same person waited on me both days. They were very nice and answered some questions about the different pastries. They also gave me an extra jam. They told us there were several locations in Galway. I would highly recommend.

We tried a Guinness beef pot pie and the soup of the day which was sweet potato with ginger. The pot pie was great and full of flavor and it comes with two sides. The soup was so warm and comforting. It actually reminds me of a curry, that it must be from the ginger .

I have gone back to Goyas each and every year I visit Galway over 10 years ago. Goyas is nestled in the quiet nook of Kirwans which is the possibly the sweetest lane in Galway (a tourist point of view) ... this spot never disappoints. It is has become a bit of a tradition, to enjoy dome tea and scones while catching up with friends and family. Enjoy the Spanish Arch, and DO NOT miss a trip to Goyas!!!

It was absolutely a treat. Delightful food, nice welcome and perhaps the tightest seating in what…read moreis likely the smallest cafe I've ever dined in. There's much more room in their restroom. I was literally stuck in my micro seat with my tummy wedged by the table. I've never been so trapped since I was in Giza's largest pyramid - the pyramid of Khufu with a breeze of 50c wafting through. We paid at the counter first and our order was in turn delivered to our micro table. We got two cappuccinos, an apple turnover, or as they put it, chausson aux pommes and an almond croissant. Everything was so delicious and the turnover was buttery appley exceptional. Sliding doors stuff as I'd been in another cafe 5 minutes away earlier that day that I thought I'd lunch in but the coffee it the other place - the separately reviewed Gourmet Tart Co - wasn't good. Had I not tasted their coffee we would have lunched in the Tart place and not gone here. Some days are diamond.

This place was cute so I decided to check it out. I ordered a raspberry croissant (which seemed…read moreunique since I've never seen one before), an apple turnover for an early morning the next day, and a mint hot chocolate. The raspberry croissant had raspberry jam inside, which was interesting and pretty good. Have yet to try the turnover. The mint hot chocolate was nicely made and the lady was nice to offer to top it off with marshmallows and chocolate shavings. I tried the Apple turnover this morning and it was really good. Doesn't apply to this item since I ate it the next day, but in general, would be good to offer or have an option to warm the pastries.

We were attracted by the name - Pura Vida which is pretty much the motto of the country Costa Rica,…read moreand means literally "pure life" but in Costa Rica more generally refers to "the good life". The restaurant lives by the meaning with lots of pure and organic foods. I had Organic Porridge with banana, walnuts and honey. Salt caramel muffin and latte.

The staff are always so sweet in here-- once I had picked up two but only had a twenty to pay, and rather than run to break the note, she allowed me to take the two for the price of one. When I came back in the next time and paid for my free biscuit, they were just so grateful! It was really lovely.
