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.

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
