The manager was extremely rude. The fresh fruit was days old at best. The McLean Corner Cafe is just across the street and far better with food quality and service! read more

What a difference new ownership can make. Food is delicious, hearty portions, and the staff are pleasant. And it's very reasonable. Well done, thanks for bringing back a neighborhood staple to its former glory! Will def be back. read more

I stopped by for lunch a few weeks ago, had a beyond burger and sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious, the staff was friendly and attentive, definitely will be back! read more

Waited 25 min for a sausage egg cheese. Got my sandwich and it was just sausage on a stale roll. The whole thing was terrible. I'm sure they have better Food but I'm not going back to take a chance. read more

I live in this area and this is my favorite place to go for a coffee, dessert and work for hours on end with a laptop. This is a great place for breakfast and the staff is very warm, kind, hardworking. read more

I have been ordering breakfast from them for the past 2 weeks and I have nothing but good things to say! The omelettes are always fresh and delicious, the coffee is great and the service from the girls behind the counter is wonderful. I will not go anywhere else for my breakfast. Amazing!! read more

They are great! The food is excellent, the coffee is great, and the staff is friendly and quick. The owners redecorated and it looks terrific. I like the backround music too! read more

Popped in here because my usual haunt, Eileen's Country Kitchen was closed. Food was good, the server was pleasant, but the waitress... a pudgy young woman with frizzy hair, didn't look us in the eye while we ordered, seemed put out to wait on us and never checked in on us to see if we needed anything or if the food was okay. She spent more time chatting at the counter with a coworker! We had to ask the server for the check and she didn't even thank us or say goodbye. I only left a tip because I'm polite. Won't be back unless I see she's not on. read more

Typical spot of mine for breakfast, best Irish breakfast in New York in my opinion being from Ireland. Very friendly staff here in particular orla always make me and my family very welcomed once we enter the door. Couldn't recommend more to anyone nearby read more

Love the Irish Coffee shop and have for years, their food is delicious and excellent quality, and everyone who works there is simply lovely. You can't go wrong whether you're ordering their Irish breakfasts, their dinners or sandwiches or their scones. Then I was lucky enough to try their red velvet cupcakes - the best cupcake ever! You're never going to go wrong eating there or taking out. Oh, and they make Brown Bread to go too. read more

solid irish breakfast when you have that craving... the staff is cordial and helpful. good stop. read more

The staff is nice and the food is trustworthy and good! It's a lovely simple spot for something quick and nice.

The food was delicious! However I really did not appreciate the chilly reception and frosty attitudes I experienced from the cafe's patrons and servers. The delicious shephard's pie saved this visit and I tried my best to ignore the disrespect. I do not think I will attend again due to the uncomfortable atmosphere :\ Cafe is located along a quaint Irish shopping district with many pubs, shops and groceries! Street parking, and you do not have to pay at the meter after 8PM. read more

Came in here tonight for dinner. Place is not packed at all, a few tables thats it. The waiter was shy but very nice. Food was good this time, (Previous visits, food wasn't so impressive), I had the Roast beef with steamed veggies and mashed potato. I loved everything on my plate, a big portion but definitely good! My two friends had chicken curry half and half, i tried the curry sauce, it was good too. Service was ok. Atmosphere is ok. Can't really complain much! read more

Went with my husband a couple of days ago, going to go today. Food was pretty amazing: ordered Irish beans and eggs with the fresh made brown bread and he ordered this breakfast platter. We also ordered another fish of brown bread since the first was was soooo good. We had to wait a while for our check to come but there was only one waitress and 10 tables, not a big deal. Update: Went there a second time and I can see what people mean by the wait staff. Ordered our food got something different. I ordered the bacon and eggs on a roll and husband ordered eggs, tomato, beans, potatoes and mushrooms. I got what I ordered (because who can really mess that up). Husband got a tons of mushrooms and beans, but 1 egg (not eggs) two slices of tomato and no potatoes. read more

Service here is terrible.. my friends and I waited over 30 mins for our irish breakfasts and we were the only customers in the place!

Went here yesterday for breakfast, usually go to McLean corner! Prices are way too high for what you get! Food was ok but not spectacular, may try again but not for breakfast. read more

Food is always good! W. B Law Coffee is the best. The girls are very friendly :) It's the staff that make this place! read more

Ordered 1 salad, two small soups and mozzarella sticks (five of them in order) total Almost $40!!!!! Salad came with no dressing or walnuts. $7 for 5 mozzarella sticks really? Salad was small not worth $12! Brown bread with soup was good but no butter. We work in the area and have been ordering for there for years but can't understand what is happening that prices are so high and quality has reduced. read more

Got take out lunch here today and the food was delicious! The mozzarella sticks were perfect and are a must have! The cajun chicken wrap with fries was also delicious! They gave me some curry sauce on the side to dip my fries in and the flavor was amazing. The dining room has been fully renovated and looks great. Looking forward to going back and eating in the dining room when the lock down restrictions are lifted. This is a great place! read more

My family and I stopped in for dinner after a walk in Van Cortland Park. We tried the shepherd's pie, lentil and curry soup, and kid's roast beef with mashed potatoes. The food was amazing! My 9-yr old daughter said it was "yummy and absolutely scrumptious." The owner/chef is delightful and brought us bowls of freshly made chicken soup with brown bread to try. We finished up with a strawberry cupcake, ice cream with chocolate sauce, and rainbow sprinkles. It was a perfect meal -- in a warm and friendly spot. We enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere, gracious hospitality, and prompt service. We even took scones and soups to go for the next day. The menu has a lot of variety (from breakfast classics to burgers to Irish dishes), and we look forward to eating our way through it! We will be back! read more

Love this place!! Fantastic breakfast choices. Authentic Irish fare. Friendly staff. I love the Irish Sausage rolls with brand and fries. Excellent choice. read more

The four star review is an average, Five stars for the Irish breakfast, eggs, black and white puddings, rasher, brown bread, potato bread. Better than you'll make at home. But I broke the spell by having lunch. A bland creamy vegetable soup, made palatable by adding seasoning that should have been there in the first place. The brown bread served with it was nice. Chicken pot pie that arrived a bit quickly, perfectly round on a dinner plate (not in its own casserole or ramekin), and was too dry. Was it pre-made? I can't say for sure. UNlike the soup it was well seasoned, The fries that accompanied the chicken pot pie were spot-on, hot, crisp, with just a hint of oiliness. I'll stick with the Irish breakfast. read more

Showing my love for small businesses... The best burger in town... I love the food and service! My cheeseburger was amazing! The Banana nut muffin was fresh and tasty, it was delicious... I will be back for the Baileys Irish coffee! read more

I got a pancake and some coffee, both of which were just fine, but the service was lackluster. I walked in and nobody greeted me. I had to go up to the counter and ask if I could seat myself. The staff were nice when they interacted with me, but I was mostly ignored. My coffee was never topped off, and nobody ever asked if I'd like anything else. I was there quite a while because I was doing some work, and I had to go ask for my check. (I know some places won't bring you the check until you ask for it, so this isn't necessarily a bad thing.) read more

The food is very good (especially the burgers), but the customer service is excellent. This place really cares about making their customers satisfied and happy. We had to send back an order and the staff handled it warmly and with genuine concern. I wouldn't hesitate ordering from them again. read more

Really nice vibe in the place. The staff was nice. I had soup and bread, which was good, but I didn't try anything else. Was visiting from Los Angeles and stopped in on a lark. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, so wanted to write a review. read more

I've been coming to this place for a while. Since I was a teenager. I liked it at first. . . But they never change up the menu. It's always the same boring things. The waitresses are ok..not the best..but much friendlier than the ones down the block at kozy corner. The food needs MAJOR improving. But the desserts are really good. Especially the snickers pie and apple pie. read more

The Irish Coffee Shop has revived my addiction to the Irish brefess fry up. So deliciously salty and greasy. The perfect weekend (or weekday) remedy for a hangover. I love that they offer brown bread as well as toast. Usually I go for the mini Irish, b/c I'm trying to pretend that's the healthy choice. Delusional, I know, but it works for me. Anyhoo, I've never been here for any meal than breakfast, so I can't provide any reviews on their other offerings. But if you are in the Woodlawn/McLean Ave border of the Bronx/Yonkers, bring your appetite and pack an extra artery - b/c you are gonna need one. read more

The one star I am giving this place has nothing to do with the food, as that is quite good. The reason for the abysmal rating is the foul and absolutely disgraceful service one encounters at this restaurant. My wife and I live in the neighborhood, and would go there for breakfast on average maybe once a month for the past 5 or so years. Many of the waitresses have always had an attitude with customers, but we enjoyed the food and the close proximity to home. Unfortunately, the service just continued to get worse with examples such as being ignored for long periods of time, being made to feel like you're an imposition for asking for something as simple as cream for your coffee, and being rudely rushed out after only about 25 minutes because they want the table. You might think that maybe I'm just demanding or a pain in the ass, but honestly I am as low maintenance a customer as they come. I have also never taken the time to write a restaurant review (at least that I recall), but am so turned off by and disgusted with this place that I felt the need to recommend that people stay away. read more

I pop in from time to time for the coffee. I think I would even go as far as giving the place 5 STARS (on the coffee alone). The only thing, as I've read in some of the other reviews, is the "strange" atmosphere in the place! Don't get me wrong... everyone is pretty friendly... WHEN you can get their attention! I can't tell you how many times I've walked in, made my coffee, gone to the counter to pay & go, & they just seem to leave me standing there waiting, until they feel the time is right to acknowledge my presence. It's just a little odd. There is usually a girl or two behind the counter, just like today. As I approached, it seemed at that very moment, the two ladies decided it was a good time to start up a conversation & then, at some point, decided they would allow me to pay. In their own time... Yeah, definitely a bit strange... Another time there was a girl standing right at the register & as soon as I got there, she turned her back & started doing something along the back counter for a few minutes before finally deciding to "notice" me. Customers DO NOT seem to be a priority in this place... I almost feel like they are doing me some favor by allowing me to pay when they decide the time is right for them. Power trip, perhaps? Even with all that, what I do really like about the establishment is the little coffee station set up where you can make your own coffee to your liking. To me, that's way better than a DD where you have to BEG for that extra cream & hope that they get it right! And, like I said, the coffee is really really good! Oh yeah... tried the cheesecake on one occasion & it was pretty good too! read more

Thought this was a nice place. Food was great and the staff was very friendly. I recommend the Shepherd's Pie.

My parents and I finally went here after a year or so of "We're going TODAY"'s on Sundays and not following up to those morning resolutions. Mom and dad barely glanced at the menu before ordering their predetermined decisions of Irish breakfasts ($10.50 each, including 2 sausages, 2 slices of bacon, 2 eggs, white and blood sausage, fried tomatoes, french fries, and toast or brown bread) and coffees. I had the shepherd's pie ($9.95). Anglo food already is pretty average unless treated with extra special creativity and care by people like those at the Chip Shop in Brooklyn. You don't go here for loud presentation or gourmet delicacies; you go here for the quiet Irish atmosphere and respective food. The Irish breakfasts looked filling and satisfying, my parents voiced such opinions. Get the brown bread! My shepherd's pie was adequately salted (nothing worse than a bland shepherd's pie) and fulfilling. Service was just right, not on top of you but available for water refills, drinks, check, etc. Come here for a homey experience! read more

Such a wonderful comfortable place the food is delicious the staff is friendly music a little loud but good! It's a nice place to bring someone to definitely coming back I live right there so been there a few times read more

Had a nice quick dinner at the Irish Coffee Shop. Great service. House salad was a nice portion for $3 and the tuna melt was quite filling. In and out in a few minutes for about $12. read more

This place is very good. It is a great neighborhood spot, especially for breakfast. Also, the servers are very friendly.

Great. Best black pudding on the emerald mile. Get the black pudding egg and cheese. It'll change your life.

The only reason why this place is getting three stars is the food is good. Thats why i go most weekends mostly on a sunday never had any problems with staff that being said was in the area during the week thursday evening decided to pop in for a quick bite the waitresses when you got there attention were just awful felt as tho they were doing you a favour by them serveing you so we will not be back just a shame really because we really did enjoy the food. just a shame about the attitude off the waitresses. read more
