Googans Galley

INamed for the nautical term for a novice fisherman finding their sea legs, Googans Galley is exactly the kind of place a community café should be.

A warm, rustic space on the corner of Main and Martin Streets in the heart of Essex, it serves artisan coffee, organic teas, scratch-made pastries, soups, sandwiches, and seasonal salads all day long with most of it gluten-free without making a fuss about it.

A handcrafted wooden bakery counter displays croissants, muffins, scones, and desserts made fresh by the in-house baker.
