Update - January 2025
Sometime in late-ish 2025, Scon came under new, less-adventurous, management.
The scon-widges are gone, and so are the wild flavour combinations. Scones now
are plain, brown, fruit and jam. Lunch is soup or stew. But there are pastries, and the coffee is still good.

New menu in Scón Galway |
Originally
This coffee-shop and more opened in early Apr 2024.
It's located at 21 Forster Street - in between the now-blue Murty Rabbits pub,
and Vocho container Mexican fast-food restaurant, across the road from the
Park House Hotel. This ground-floor shop was home to Galway
Tourist Office for a while, and has also been used as an outlet shop by a
men's outfitters: Scón is the first food outlet there.
From the outside it looks like a small cafe, offering good coffee and perhaps
scones or pastries. But the menu includes several varieties of soup,
interesting sandwiches and scones. As well as all the coffee
options you can imagine, including misto (known elsewhere as café au lait) and
chai-latte.
Open Monday to Saturday.
NB it looks like they're totally different from the Naas-based gourmet scone
company who run www.scon.ie.
