Korner in the Lane

This new Galway city cafe opened at the end of the 2nd week of August, 2026.

It's located in Kirwan's Lane, where Goyas used to be - effectively behind McDonagh's.  The premises has had a thorough fitout, making better use of the space, and fitting a coffee-hatch where the kitchen door used to be.

Aiming to be "a corner cafe on Kirwans Lane, built for lingering", the offering includes serves Cloud Picker coffee, pastries, and simple food made fresh from local produce.


Initial opening days and hours

Monday and Tuesday:  closed
Wednesday to Saturday:  8am to 4:30pm

Subtle signage and some social media campaigns:  the doors are open and the coffee is flowing.

The former store-room ... may be a quiet corner in the cafe?









No signs yet, but there are artificial blossoms in the middle window and a new front door, and an announcement on Instagram- 10 August 2026
