Specialty coffee roasters in Galway serving exceptional coffee and simple, quality food. Industrial-chic space popular with coffee enthusiasts and remote workers.
Coffeewerk + Press roasts and serves specialty coffee from an industrial-chic space on Merchants Road in Galway, built around pour-over brewing and a rotating selection of single-origin beans. The food menu is simple and secondary to the coffee, avocado toast and pastries cover most orders, but is well-executed and fits the cafe's minimalist, design-led aesthetic. The space attracts a mix of coffee enthusiasts and remote workers, with a calm, focused atmosphere suited to working or reading rather than socialising loudly. There is no alcohol served; the drinks list is entirely coffee, tea, and a small selection of cold brews. It operates on a walk-in basis with no reservation system.
