This Galway owned-and-operated specialty coffee and superfood-bowl cafe opened their new headquarters and first long-term store in the heart of Galway's main shopping street on 14 November 2025, after operating as a mobile café from various gazebos, vans and shipping-containers for 10-ish years.
It's located in High Street, in a small-but-perfect historic building that was most-recently home to Ciarlantini, and previously was Deacy's Fish Shop for many years. This has Murphy's Icecreams on one side, and Murphy's pub two doors down the street. They've given the place a thorough make-over, re-orienting the counter-space, installing electronic menu boards - and painting the building their own specially-vibrant shade of light orange.

There's no indoor dining area, but there is a solid-looking canopy, and space inside barriers for about thee small tables.
Offering include bowls built on their classic bases (Açaí, Pink Pitaya, Oceania Blend, Mango, Coco Razz), overnight oats, coffee and matcha teas.
