mccambridges artisan treats & coffee al fresco

aidan was a student in galway so when we met, he took me to all his old haunts; mccambridges was the first stop on a tour which included swimming at salthill, guiness at naughton's and mcdonagh's fish and chips.

now the much loved mccambridges on shop street, has undergone a transformation! call in and enjoy a coffee at the new barista style coffee bar or watch the world go by from a table at their pavement cafe.

though the changes will delight you, here to stay is the passion for selecting in-season food from local farms, butchers, bakeries and artisan food producers:


‘the aim of this project is to expand the variety of locally sourced quality foods, as well as the best of irish and international gourmet foods for our customers,’ said eoin mccambridge, managing director.


we're also glad to see that you can now buy murphy's icecream by the scoop (sean murphy pictured with natalie mccambridge outside the shop) and that cocoa bean and skelligs are still old favourites!


'we love your bars of choc and skelligs truffles are selling well' said norma mccambridge who then confided 'i love the gin and tonic'. There is something about that bar in it's purple wrapper bursting with bubbles that makes you feel like you're having the first zesty drink on a hot summer night by the sea...
