Galway coffee shops

Oh man, do I love talking about what coffee shops I like in Galway. People even tease me about all the criteria I look at. But here we go, best coffee shops in Galway.



  1. Coffee Club: This is probably my favorite coffee shop. They have the best wifi of anywhere I've been in Galway like Tumblr mobile app doesn't have trouble loading kind of wifi. You also get a little chocolate cookie with any coffee drink you get, which is excellent. I love their mochas (although, admittedly, their americanos aren't great). I also love the amount of space that the place has. I've never had trouble finding a place to sit and I don't think I've even had a a problem finding a place for a writing group to sit. The noise level is also great. It's not so quiet that us talking feels like we're disturbing people, but it's never so loud that I have trouble hearing anybody. Oh and the food! The food is oh so tasty. They don't have a huge menu, but everything they have is very tasty. Admittedly, the downside of Coffee Club is that they close at 4:30.

  1. Corner Cafe: Another great cafe in Galway. They have good wifi and the best lattes I've had in Galway. There is also a little space with a couch which is very comfy if you can manage to snag it. I've had brunch there and it is very tasty with good portion sizes. This is one of the places where you don't pay right away, so that is a bit confusing. I wish this coffee shop was bigger so that it would be an easy place for workshopping, but the size is part of its charm. It's also pretty close to campus which helps a lot.

  1. Lane Cafe: Lane Cafe is in a very busy part of town, but is very tucked away which is quite nice. This doesn't mean that it can't get busy, but again I've always been able to find a spot and I think I've always been able to find a spot for people coming to meet me (although sometimes it was at a weird table height). They have not one, but two wifi networks so you're all set there. They also have a cookie coffee thing that was very sweet, but so tasty. Lane Cafe's biggest downside is probably that they are cash only, but that's okay. They also have the best hours of cafes with wifi in that they close at the earliest at 6pm I think.

  1. Coffeewerk and Press: While this place wouldn't be great for workshopping, it is quite lovely. I had a very tasty mocha there and a tasty cake. They have a lot of things to look at in the cafe from cool art to quirky little gifts to get people. If you're looking for a fun place to go with a friend or date, I'd recommend here. They also have wifi, so never fear!

  1. Java's: Okay so this is the only non-wifi place I think I'm going to recommend. They have a very comfy couch area, which you can usually get if you're willing to sit nearby and wait for your moment to pounce. They have amazing hours in that they're open until midnight or 1am. They have very good lattes and incredibly tasty crepes (both savory and sweet). They are again a place where you have to remember to pay before you leave, which has caused some confusion, but it's always worked out okay.

Starting my parental journey, part 1

To be clear, I am not pregnant. Nor do I currently plan on being pregnant soon. However, I promised myself that if I was 30 and still single I'd start to explore my options for having a child either on my own or later in life with a partner. Well, 30 came and went, but 31 is still here so close enough I figure. My first step was to make an appointment to discuss options with a doctor because I could do all the research I wanted on the internet, but I knew it would overwhelm me. As I write this, I haven't had that appointment yet so no news there. Now I made this appointment in February (hey, I was still 30 then!) and it was originally scheduled for October (yes, an 8-month wait for an initial appointment), but last week the appointment got moved up to this week and things got moving! The timing feels right in a certain way. Two people I care about are having babies in the next month, someone else I love is expecting next year, and I also know multiple couples either trying or g

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica
