Barr an Chaladh in Galway

14/01/2025: Been coming here yearly since 2021 and it’s always a pleasure. Very cozy place with a wide array of pastries and coffee/tea beverages. Anything you want really. Despite what some reviewers have said, the staff here is friendly. They may come across as rude to some, but let’s understand that they are serving the public for over 10 hrs a day. It takes a toll on anyone and there is only so much energy you can put out there as a service industry worker. They were all cordial and I had no issues with that. I was fortunate to sit next to the cafe cat that frequented the place since its inception. The most chill cat that ever lived. Unfortunately she passed last fall, but lived a good life! I’m happy she had a peaceful environment around here till she moved on. That being said, I highly recommend this place for a nice morning start.

30/12/2024: Really lovely atmosphere. My spot on as I was wandering in the neighborhood. They really have a secret garden in the back of the store. The drink was okay but the staffs were very nice.
