Update
Churros Nation closed for good on Christmas Eve 2022. Farewell, fried-pastry frends.
Original listing
This new twist in Galway's thriving coffee scene opened in the first week of June 2021 - just in time for summer's first bank holiday weekend.
The closest cafe to St Nicholas' Collegiate Church, they're in the shop which was Archie's ice-creams last summer, and before that Cafe Express, next door to Roots. This building is known to older Galwegians as Thimble Castle and the long-time home of Mullens butcher-shop.
There's now a building-size mural painted on the gable-end, which brightens the view from St Nicholas market / church-door. Hopefully the city planners won't notice!
Churros are dough snacks from Spanish and Portuguese cuisine, traditionally deep-fried - and this shop is sticking to the tradition. They've featured on the menu in Cava and Hooked and in the occasional food-stall, but this is Galway's first shop-based takeaway churros experience.
The coffee is branded Coffee Nation, which this doesn't seem to have any other outlets in Ireland at the moment.
