"Located just a stone’s throw from the Spanish Arch by Galway’s long walk, Ard Bia offers diners the perfect atmosphere for relaxing. Whether you want a take a moment to enjoy a fine coffee and cake while watching the River Corrib flow by outside, or eat a hearty meal with a glass of wine accompanied by friends, the choice is yours."

"More of an art house serving best brunches in town than a restaurant per se. This place is hip to the bone!. Dj workshops, talks about this and that and dinners …"

"Shabby-chic Temple Café right by Charlie Byrne’s Bookshop is one of those places everyone seems to know and love – and there’s a reason for it: their coffee blends are some of the best in town, the staff is exceptionally friendly, and the cosy vibe of the place just adds to a wonderful caffeine experience. We especially love their iced coffee!. The Temple Café is determined to make folks value what they eat and drink and their yummy menu mirrors just that."

"While the specials change from day to day, you can expect the likes of vegan ciabattas, flavoursome organic soups and freshly squeezed juices, all made with locally sourced ingredients. Temple Café is known for its healthy but delicious vegan treats. If you have a sweet tooth, then pop in and grab yourself a coffee and one of their super tasty vegan pastries."

"As well as a choice of cooked breakfasts there’s a tempting array of pastries, muffins and cakes if you prefer to start your day with something sweet. We adore the Caramel on Mars slice – for a sweet breakfast, or any time of the day. On a visit for breakfast I enjoyed the super protein porridge which was a nourishing way to start the day."

"Take a trip back in time as you enter through the doors of the Corrib House Tea Rooms, a beautifully restored Georgian Townhouse overlooking the Salmon Weir. Every Saturday from 9.30am-4pm and Sundays from 10.30am-3pm, their weekend brunch menu comes into full effect and it contains some serious highlights. Granola and waffles, scrambled eggs and smashed avocados appear alongside traditional fries and there are even brunch specials to be found on their in-house boards."

"The Corrib Tea Rooms cafe will re-open for outdoor dining in their beautiful front and rear courtyards, Wednesday to Sunday 9.30am-4pm with their famous brunch menu now served all day each day, (and operated on a walk in, first come basis). They have also just announced an evening time wine and grazing boards menu for the summer weekends, Friday and Saturday evenings from 4pm-9pm with reservations required through their website.

"Another hidden gem located in the in the Waterside area of the city, overlooking the Corrib, is this quaint little place that has again the most fab breakfasts, weekend brunch, lunch, cakes and coffees that are home baked in house. I recommend the scones and a lovely pot of tea. Brunch is such a treat and a lovely way to meet up with fellow students at the weekend."

"Mocha Beans has been around since 1997 and now has branches all over the country. However, given it all started right here on the West coast, we just had to include it on our list of the best coffee in Galway. They roast all their coffee beans in house, meaning the whole place smells amazing all day long (and you can take home your favourites, too!)."

The interiors are colourful and bright, just like the gorgeous food, juices and smoothies they serve. The coffee is amazing but it tastes even better if you take yours out on to their decking area."

"Another great place to visit indoors with kids in Galway is Busy Bees. It’s one of the great things to do with toddlers in Galway as it is suitable for kids from the age of 6 months. There is a large soft play area, a separate one for toddlers, there is a roller skate disco suitable for kids age 7-12, a teddy bear stuffing workshop (a great birthday party idea), and laser tag for the over 8s."

"A two-minute stroll from our front door, this is a wonderful children’s activity centre for kids from 7 months to 12 years. It’s a hive of activity!. Babies and toddlers have their own soft play area."

"For ethical comfort food and a selection of goods from artisan producers, you’re going to want to check out Vegano Delicatessen’s hot food counter. Filled with a whole lot of grain meats, dressings and cheeses, they put together a tasty array of vegan pastries and sandwiches fresh each day. They’ve got shelves filled with all kinds of vegan sweet treats like jellies and chocolate and since it’s Galway’s first vegan deli, we’ve gotta support it!"

"French pastries are as beautiful as they are delicious, and they’re all on display at the cute little bakery, Le Petit Délice. Everyone loves a macaron — those perfectly pastel, almond-flavoured crunchy delights — but, as you’ll see when you nose into Le Petit Délice, there’s so much more. Brioche, profiteroles, croissants (plain, chocolate, almond — your choice), cream-filled éclairs, and other variations of puff pastry, chocolate and cream are just waiting for you behind the counter."

If you’re looking for a spot to grab an affordable, delicious, beautiful little cake or bun, this is the place to make your stop."

"Le Petit Delice Limited is one of the best restaurants in Galway for many reasons. It is excellent for either breakfast or brunch, or both. It has delicious food, great coffee, and a nice ambience if you want nothing more than to just sit with your hot beverage and pastry and watch the world go by."

"This artisan bakery offers a wide range of delicious treats ranging from tantalising tarts to enticing cakes, but they specialise in their delightful signature donuts. All their delicious goodies are made fresh each day, so come in early and get them while they're hot. After a long day, what can't be fixed by a delicious cup of coffee and a box filled with chocolate-covered custard-filled fluffy donut?"
