Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Oranmore

"Gourmet Tart is probably one of the most well-known pastry places in Galway due to their 6 locations around the city. You can find them at Salthill, Galway Shopping Centre, The Westend and Abbeygate Street. Their displays are always filled with delicious bits and pieces that make your tummy rumble and do a dance; Croissants, tarts, macarons, eclairs, bumblebee cake and so much more!"

"Hotel of the Year 2018, The Twelve is an elegant retreat in Barna Village. It combines exquisite dining, luxurious rooms and some well-deserved relaxation therapy in Le Petit Spa. Escape the world for a time and immerse yourself in a Nourishing Marine Cocoon Wrap or get back to nature with a mineral-rich Seaweed Bath which is known to have amazing restorative healing properties."

"The hotel/gastropub is situated in Barna Village - a 10-minute drive from Galway. On the top floor, you'll find the fine dining restaurant with a wine list that has won multiple international awards. Our favourite spot is downstairs in The Pins Gastro Bar - the pizzas, stacked with local ingredients, are super."

"The Twelve Hotel is located in the idyllic seaside village of Barna, a short distance outside Galway city. Named after the twelve rolling peaks nearby, this hotel offers relaxation, luxury and escapism. After a busy day exploring the Irish thrills, you can indulge in this hotel’s unique charms."

"French pastries are as beautiful as they are delicious, and they’re all on display at the cute little bakery, Le Petit Délice. Everyone loves a macaron — those perfectly pastel, almond-flavoured crunchy delights — but, as you’ll see when you nose into Le Petit Délice, there’s so much more. Brioche, profiteroles, croissants (plain, chocolate, almond — your choice), cream-filled éclairs, and other variations of puff pastry, chocolate and cream are just waiting for you behind the counter."

"Can you believe that this place was opened by real French people who fell in love in Galway?. It’s a proper love story that gave rise to one of the sweetest pastry places in Galway. If you’re looking for a spot to grab an affordable, delicious, beautiful little cake or bun, this is the place to make your stop."

"Le Petit Delice Limited is one of the best restaurants in Galway for many reasons. It is excellent for either breakfast or brunch, or both. It has delicious food, great coffee, and a nice ambience if you want nothing more than to just sit with your hot beverage and pastry and watch the world go by."

"Owner Michelle Crehan-Kavanagh of this newish spot in the heart of Galway was inspired by visits across Europe and Iceland to open this warm cafe and bakery. "We’re a group of dedicated bakers making world class baked goods without taking ourselves too seriously". They sell everything from sourdough to brown treacle soda bread and their cinnamon and marmalade buns are amazing."

"Marmalade has a wide variety of fresh pastries that are not only delicious, but also have vegan options. They’ve got something to suit everyone’s tastes with no exceptions, including their delicious roasted coffee and savory pastry options for those of us who don’t want to spoil our appetite in the mornings with overly sweet things. OUR ORDER: Savoury cheese muffins!"

"Whether you’re working from home or just need a break from the kitchen, Seacrest Kafe is back open for lunch!. Yes, you heard us, Sam and the team are back in business for collection orders. Offering two of their best selling sambos, along with their usual baked treats, you’ll be spoilt for choice at Seacrest Kafe!"

"Walls decked out in copper and emerald green encase the clutch of tables at this busy spot, which dishes up pies made with organic spelt flour. Savoury morsels (black pudding, leek and sherry; aubergine, goat's... French in Galway City"

"Located just off Eyre Square, which is serviced by bus # 33 direct from outside Clybaun Hotel, the Corrib Shopping Centre is a compact shopping mall featuring a wide range of goods. The main outlet for this centre is the department store, Debenhams. Marks and Spencers have a department store as well as a food court and there are plenty of cosmetics and accessories, menswear, ladies wear and household goods as well as a spacious café and a multi storey car park."

"O’Connell’s is located on the East side of Eyre Square and with its central location and beautiful shop front, it is indeed a popular watering hole in Galway. Boasting one of the best beer gardens in Ireland, this is one of our favourite spots for a dram or two!. Even in the depths of winter, part of O’Connell’s beer garden is covered and heated, and even features a mock Irish street with cute traditional shop fronts."

"O’Connell’s has one of the best locations in Galway – set right in the heart of the city on Eyre Square. Inside the large pub is decorated to look like an old-timey general store with vintage packages of food on the wall. However, the pub is most popular on warm days when crowds flock to the enormous beer garden."

"O’Connell’s Bar is one of the most interesting pubs in Galway. I visited this pub during my trip to the city and it set a high precedent for what a great pub truly is!. This pub is an old converted grocery store from 50 years ago and it even has a beer garden."

"A lovely restaurant with an arts cinema attached - the chef here is Latvian Liga Jarovoja, who used to be at Ard Bia. It's open all day serving up hot baps at breakfast, veggie fry-ups for brunch (including cauliflower hash) while dinner is a modern European menu featuring local produce."

"Art house film is a genre which encompasses content and style which is often artistic or experimental, expressing the filmmakers’ personal artistic vision. In the  Pálás Cinema, the restaurant perfectly reflects this ideology."

"Veritable experts in all things sweet and savoury, Mr Waffle’s menu features the finest crepes and waffles all year round - but they truly pull out all the stops when it comes to Pancake Tuesday. They’ve got all the traditional favourites alongside some more inventive offerings, including the Oreo Supreme and The Madness, which is loaded with strawberry, banana, milk and white chocolate goodness. Just pop along to Mr Waffle from 8-5 to pre-order your goodies for collection."

"Chocolate lovers will tell you that Mr Waffle is the only spot for your fix in Galway, and I'd tend to agree with them. With the word "waffle" in the name, it might seem criminal to order anything else but I'll just let their banana and Nutella pancakes speak for themselves. Make sure you're hungry because there's plenty to fill your belly with here."

"Pancake Tuesday is known at Mr Waffle as the most wonderful day of the year. With that attitude, it’s clear that this store is an ideal spot for the day at hand. Mr Waffle will once again be raising money for ACT for Meningitis."

"A definite favourite of the yummy mummy set, Gourmet Tart has brunch down to a fine art. Excellent coffee, the choice of a pastry or English Muffins with eggs and bacon. Really good food and a walk on the prom before or after will reduce any weekend guilt you might suffering from."
