*FREE workspace. FREE sockets. FREE Wi-Fi. FREE (and clean!) toilets.*

And some seriously good coffee and genuinely unique food.
Now that I have your attention… 😄

There was a huge discussion under a post of someone looking for a place to work on the All things Galway. I want to offer you our space: a gracefully designed café-restaurant with, admittedly, a rather boring generic name (Abbeygate Café) and those wonderfully uninviting mirror windows that I unfortunately can’t change. 😂

But we give our heart in that what we do. I’m just the afternoon chef. Definitely not a marketing expert, but I want to give a job to these poor empty chairs.

So, what can you find here?
☕ *Good coffee after 5pm* — yes, really. Perfect for evening cravings, studying or the night shift crowd. Gardaí already found us.
🍰 *Cakes & heavenly milkshakes* for when coffee alone isn’t going to cut it.
🕗 *Open 7 days, 8am–10pm*
💻 *50+ comfortable chairs and benches, with sockets* — ideal for students, digital nomads, business travellers, club meetings, larger parties, awkward first dates or anyone who simply needs somewhere to sit, work, study or switch off.
🎓 *from Oct 1st: Student deals from €10*, or €12.50 including chips and a drink and a very interesting fidelity card with multiple wins.
*Irish classics* — breakfast, sandwiches, steaks, burgers and more.
*Persian cuisine. Great cooking since 2500 B.C: a depth and variety you may never have encountered before.
If you've never heard much about Persian food, that's probably due to world politics, not because it isn't worth discovering. 😉 It’s fresh, aromatic rather than overwhelmingly spicy, with plenty of naturally gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options — and, most importantly, *breathtakingly delicious.*
And yes, there will always be a smile and a kind word waiting for you.
So if you've made it this far, perhaps come and see what we're about.

*Like. Share. Visit. Bring a friend. Tell someone who might love it. Make it go viral. Help fill these chairs.*

Small independent businesses survive because people choose to discover them — and we'd love to welcome you.

Go raibh maith agat.

Sabzipolo ba Mahi means “Herb rice with fish”… fish is usually marinated with saffron, garlic, herbs and lemon. We make it with salmon, but in Iran it is usually “mahi sefid”, white fish. The rice is steamed with scallions, dill, garlic and parsley. The best is to eat it with “Torshi”, our homemade mixed pickles!

One of our favorites, the aubergine starter Kashk-e Bademjan is from now on available as Gluten free. Maybe you didn't know but most of our cuisine is naturally gluten free, not only sad modified versions, and the food keeps its full, authentic flavor. Moreover we discontinued pizza and flour is just not used in the kitchen anymore, from the nearest days we will be adhering to the Coeliac-safe network of restaurants!
