Blake's Bar in Galway

15/03/2025: The Gourmet Tart Co. at all their locations have consistently supported many charities actively contributing to a sense of community and well-being wherever they are located. They recognise everyone for their individuality and I have always felt welcomed, recognised and more engaged with my fellow humankind after any visit there. Their kindness shines through their staff and their actions on a daily basis. Their genuine acknowledgment of the diversity of their customer base is laudable. They support creativity, charity and “building people up”!! This extends to staff, customers and charities alike. This can be with something as small as supporting someone’s art initiatives, animal welfare pursuits or helping them learn & navigate how to be part of a workplace that is kind, caring & patient. They seem keenly aware of the struggles some people face within themselves and the wider world. I have seen them “pay it forward” with a kind word and a free coffee many a time and although it may not seem much at the time it’s obvious how much it means to that person who needed that humanity at that moment. Gourmet Tart Company please continue being uniquely you, being authentic and most of all in a world where you can be anything continue to “Be Kind!” Your coffee in the bright pink happy cups and your pain au raisin coupled with a quick chat with your baristas and staff are what makes us think that the world is still a happy, bright and charitable place. 💓
