About Us
WYLDE Café is a high-end coffee shop and deli, part of the HYDE family, bringing a fresh, vibrant approach to food in the heart of Galway. Just around the corner from HYDE Hotel and HYDE Bar, we focus on healthy, sustainable, and convenient dining.

WYLDE is the perfect spot for a healthy start to the day, a midday boost, or a casual meeting, blending quality ingredients with an approachable, feel-good atmosphere.
Our Values
At WYLDE, our ethos is guided by the core values of Connacht Hospitality Group: Customer, Community, Creativity, Crew, and Commercial. We are committed to delivering personalised, memorable experiences for every guest while supporting local communities and heritage.
Creativity drives innovation in our menus, presentation, and guest experience, while our team, or Crew, is nurtured through a diverse and rewarding work environment. Commercially, we focus on sustainable growth, investing in staff, operations, and partnerships to ensure long-term success.
These values underpin everything we do at WYLDE, from crafting vibrant meals to creating a welcoming space where guests feel valued, inspired, and connected to the wider Galway community.

Our team at WYLDE is the heart of our operation, bringing warmth, expertise, and enthusiasm to every interaction. From our skilled baristas to our culinary team and front-of-house staff, every member shares a passion for quality, service, and sustainability.
We foster a supportive environment where team members can grow, innovate, and thrive, reflecting the Great Place to Work culture recognised across the Connacht Hospitality Group. The dedication and energy of our Crew ensure that every guest enjoys not just exceptional food and coffee but also a welcoming, personalised experience.
At WYLDE, our people make the difference, combining professionalism with genuine hospitality at every touchpoint.
Sustainability
Sustainability is at the core of WYLDE Café and the wider HYDE family. From sourcing local produce and reducing food miles to implementing eco-friendly packaging and energy-efficient operations, we actively minimise our environmental impact.
Our coffee deliveries arrive in reusable tins from Eighty9, reducing waste while maintaining freshness. Waste management, water-saving measures, and renewable energy practices are embedded in daily operations, and we encourage guests to participate through mindful consumption.
By integrating conservation, carbon footprint monitoring, and community initiatives, WYLDE ensures that sustainable practices are both practical and impactful. Our commitment demonstrates that high-quality food and environmental responsibility can coexist seamlessly.
Our Community
At WYLDE Café, giving back is central to who we are, reflecting the Connacht Hospitality Group’s commitment to meaningful community engagement. In 2024, HYDE Hotel proudly partnered with the Galway Simon Community, supporting their mission to provide safe homes and vital support to those experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
In 2025, we are championing the National Breast Cancer Research Institute (NBCRI), raising awareness and funds through initiatives such as the Pink Drink campaign, Disco Brunch in Pink, the Pre-Racing Fashion Show, the Dragons’ Den initiative, and the Tree of Remembrance for breast cancer.
By leveraging our team, events, and reach, WYLDE actively contributes to causes that inspire change, hope, and a stronger Galway community.
