The Gem of Galway

I come here every time I'm back home in Ireland, so I don't know why I've taken so long to give it a review. The food is always superb. Today I had the mushroom burger and carrot cake. Both were super tasty. The burger was filling and thankfully isn't one of those processed fake meat alternative ones.

Pros: Friendly prompt service , Tasty food, Delish sweet treats

Amazing breakfast

We arrived very late for breakfast (it's until 11.45am) and they were out of beans. Although they managed to make us a delicious all vegan Irish breakfast.

Great vegetarian cafe with mostly vegan options

I returned here after a gap of 4 years. It was recommended to me by a vegetarian friend, and has stayed in my memory as a place to return to, and I'm glad I did. It's great to see even more vegan options now then before, but disappointing to see still a charge for plant based milk. I had the delicious full vegan breakfast which absolutely hit the spot, with lovely flavours, in particular the sourdough bread, homemade relish, tofu scramble, and pudding. Would definitely recommend! Hopefully in future it might become fully vegan and no charge for plant based milk, which is a vegan tax.

Loved it

Everything on the menu is vegan with the option of adding Dairy Cheese to some of the dishes. Small but well curated menu!

Buena opción para un café

Fuimos para tomar algo después de comer. El té merece mucho la pena y los cafés que ponen son bastante grandes. Lo único malo es que cobran 30 céntimos más por la leche vegetal y siendo un cafe vegetariano me parece bastante feo. Pedimos la tarta de zanahoria, que estaba buena, pero tenían muchas más opciones veganas dulces que no probamos.

Pros: Many vegan options

Cons: Extra charge for plant based milk

Best food experience we had in Galway

This place is so cosy and offers plenty of vegan food. The hot chocolate tastes amazing, but has a vegan-milk-fee of 20ct. We can recommend the Full vegan fry and especially, for some sweet finish, the carrot cake. The cream on top of it is crazy good.
We also got some vegan scones for take away which were delicious.
Additionally it's cool, that they use vegan butter as the default (you get butter to the full vegan fry breakfast)

Pros: Nice atmosphere, Many vegan options, The hot chocolate + the carrot cake

Cons: Vegan-tax on plantbased milk

Amazing to get a full vegan breakfast

Amazing coffee and the food was delicious. However, I do think that it could have been hotter. But the bread they made the toast with was so tasty, they even had vegan butter. Scabled tofu was just perfect,

Got two blueberry croissants to take away aswell and they were delicious.

Pros: Great vegan selection , Tasty food, Friendly staff

Cons: Food a littke cold, Could do with opening a little earlier

Great Pancakes

Pancakes themselves were incredible, however serving size was a bit to small. Almost needed another plate to feel full.

Best vegan food in Galway

Eaten here twice and there’s consistently good vegan wholefood choices. It’s not solely vegan but caters well for us. Plant-based sausage roll is a great takeaway. #Veganuary

Pros: Vegans well catered for. , Staff very helpful, Menus very clear

Cons: Not open at night! Wish it was.

Cute and cozy spot

Stopped in for breakfast and coffee. Super friendly and helpful, a little bit tight as its a small spot but not bad. Food was unreal! So tasty. Had the faux Irish breakfast and the pancakes. Would def stop by again next time in Galway.
