Our sourdough breads and sweet & savoury pastries are created on-site daily by head baker and owner Cian Mooney and his team. After enriching his craft at esteemed establishments such as Michelin starred Loam, Tivoli Road Bakery, Bread41, and éan, Cian founded Magpie which spread its wings in May of last year.
Nestled between Outset Art & Design Gallery and Ireland’s best-loved independent bookshop Charlie Byrne’s, we’re lucky to be part of a culturally vibrant community in the very heart of Galway city, the Cornstore mall.
We also serve organic, seasonal, and locally roasted specialty coffee from Oughterard based roastery Calendar, so come visit our nook, have a coffee + treat, and enjoy a wander through our musical city.
We love to work with people we like. We source our ingredients from friends and like-minded peers who provide our high-quality, organic, local produce. We believe in supporting local business and in operating our own in an ethical and sustainable way.
