If only for a cup of cappuccino or hot chocolate and a wedge of chocolate cake, or a slice of quiche, a restorative visit to this delightful contemporary bakery and café is a must on any visit to Galway and is best known for its tempting range of pastries and treats and now also has an equally appealing deli and savoury takeaway.
There’s something very promising about the cardboard cake boxes stacked up in preparation near the door, the staff are super, there’s a great buzz and the food is simply terrific.
What’s more, you don’t even have to be in Galway to enjoy Emer Murray’s terrific baking - contact Goya’s for her seasonal mail-order catalogues “Festive Treats” (Christmas cakes, plum pudding, mince pies etc) and “Easter Delights” (simnel cake and others); birthday and wedding cakes also available.
If you’re wondering where to start, why not try a speciality: Goyas, 3-layer chocolate gateau cake.
