PLÁMÁS Café Claddagh

Having recently moved into their beautiful new space, Plámás is already one of Galway’s must visit cafés for specialty coffee lovers.

On my first visit, I ordered an oat milk latte and waited around 5 to 8 minutes, which was perfectly reasonable considering how busy they were. While waiting, I couldn’t help but notice the crowd. The place has a really creative vibe, full of young artists, designers and people happily chatting over coffee.

Plámás also sells bags of Geometry Coffee Roasters beans, along with coffee merchandise and a tempting selection of fresh pastries and buns. Their coffee is smooth, lightly roasted and beautifully balanced, bringing out delicate fruity sweetness and bright acidity rather than the heavier chocolate notes you get from darker roasts. It made for a wonderfully clean and enjoyable oat latte.

The new location feels warm, stylish and full of character. If you’re looking for quality specialty coffee in Galway, Plámás is definitely worth a visit.

Dare I say best coffee Ive ever had? I got a latte for takeaway and after leaving, my friend asked to try and and also loved it so much we had to walk back! The staff are extremely kind and would definitely go back!

​★★★★★ A cozy hidden gem in Galway!
I absolutely loved my visit to Plámás! The atmosphere is amazing—it's such a calm, cozy spot with lovely music playing in the background. The staff really make the place special; they are super kind, highly competent, and experienced. You just feel incredibly welcome the moment you walk in.
​A brilliantly fun detail: they have LEGO minifigures hidden inside the shop that represent their team! It’s such a lovely touch, especially for LEGO fans. On top of the great vibes, they serve outstanding coffee and fantastic matcha, and they have vegan milk options available too. It was a really amazing experience. Strong recommendation!
