GALWAY CITY, Ireland - The cobblestone streets of this medieval city center on the West Coast overflow with restaurants, clothing boutiques, souvenir shops, cafes, jewelers selling Claddagh rings, and bookstores.
Shop Street is a pedestrian-only zone, and off this main thoroughfare, where buskers play for euros, you'll find the Gourmet Tart Co.
The small storefront might be easy to miss. It's long and narrow, with a brightly lighted, clean and efficient interior that seems more like sleek New York than old-style Europe. Look for the pink and white sign above the glass transom and step inside for bakery bliss.
