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.

I mean I'm an old age tramp walking streets in over 75 different countries (so far) while my wife shops. I shop occasionally and I'm quick. I've slouched around musing in my own world spring, autumn, winter and summer in temperatures ranging from minus 22c to 56c. The welcome here was stilted sort of not relaxed. As I walked with my coffee, well it didn't taste great at all. I was disappointed as I expected it to be delicious but it was ok, just ok so that ruined here out for a return including lunch. Maybe personal taste maybe lack of skill making it but it was not to my taste no thanks. Oh dear, what a pity, never mind.

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.

I have gone back to Goyas each and every year I visit Galway over 10 years ago.

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!!!

We each ordered Crepes from the vast breakfast menu. We had: gluten free Bretonne: sausage, cooked onions, emmental cheese, egg. The rest were non gluten free: Banana and caramel au beurre salé, * Nutella and banana and Pear and caramel au berre salé. Each were delicate but full of flavor and more then amply portioned. Fresh orange juice and hot tea complimented the meal and helped steel us for the chilly wet day ahead. We loved all of our gastro experiences in Galway but Java's will be remembered as one of the best!! The prices were very reasonable which added to overall experience.
