Focaccino

This authentic Italian cafe/bakery  in Galway, Ireland opened on in the 3rd week of January 2006.

It's located in Eyre Street, just up from Carnival Supermarket - in the cafe that was most-recently Rósta, and before that Revive.  This is part of the Eyre Square Townhouse building, but this time is being run separately, and the interior has had a careful thorough refurbihment and now has a light, bright, cheerful decor.

Aiming to be a place for everyone who believes in starting again, the owner spent time in Italy collecting the textures, feelings and even sounds that will live inside the café:  they event built a pre-opening mood-board on Spotify, featuring a mix of Italian songs and beautiful tracks from around the world, and plan that every season, a new playlist will be released, which will shape the atmosphere of Focaccino.

Offering freshly baked focaccia (Italian flatbread), Geometry coffee and a few sweet treats, this is a small, intimate cafe - and many people are hoping that the outdoor dining area opens in summer.
