Our Garden Café

If you are looking for a Café in Galway with delicious fresh food, then you have found the place. Our award-winning food is cooked every day with the best of ingredients, using herbs and edible flowers from the garden and fresh local produce. We have something for everyone, with plenty of dishes for visitors who are vegetarian or are known to enjoy a vegan café, and yummy options for kids. Lots of home baking too, so you can enjoy coffee and cakes or a delicious lunch.

Our light-filled garden café has huge picture windows for perfect indoor dining, or you can sit outside on the patio surrounded by flowers and the scents of the gardens.

You can welcome anytime, there is never a charge to visit the Café or Gift Shop!

People sit at outdoor tables by a café, chatting about bookkeeper jobs in Galway, surrounded by wildflowers under a blue sky with scattered clouds.
