This Irish scone shop is a piece of heaven! The owner and her friend and son were incredibly friendly, warm and delightful. The scones were melt in your mouth delicious with Irish butter and blackberry preserves. Heaven on a plate!

Came here on mother's day and it was packed. It's a pretty small shop. The line to order went by super fast but the wait time took about 35 minutes to get 2 scones. They don't really go in order so expect an estimate to be slightly longer than you plan on. The scones are really worth a try esp fresh out of the oven. Loved the combination of butter and jam inside which made a good savory and sweet taste in a soft scone. Unfortunately they don't sell the jam on it's own which I would totally get if I could.

There's nothing like a fresh scone with butter and homemade jam. I'm not usually into scones but this one was the best I've had! The hype is there for a reason. I arrived at 9:30am on a Friday and there was a line and a lot of people waiting for their order. After about 20min in line, it took another 20-30min for my order to be ready. They serve the scones fresh from the oven so be patient! The scones are nice and hot, and it's amazing with the butter and homemade blackberry jam. It's not dry at all and has a nice crispy crust with a soft inside. Overall, it was great to try but definitely expect to wait a bit when you come!

Irish soda bread muffin with Irish butter and blackberry jam

So incredibly tasty that my only complaint is to give me more jam! This place is so cute and has a great vibe. We went around 9am on a Sunday and there were probably a dozen people in line ahead of us. Didn't take too long to get our muffins. They ask if you're eating them there or to go (there's not much seating since it's a small shop but we found a bench outside). So tasty and unique that they pretty much only sell the muffins and some coffee. I'd highly recommend

We had to try Mary O's scones after seeing them on social media and learning about it through Humans of New York, and was not disappointed. We expected a line and there was one , but it moved at a steady pace. You can smell the Irish Soda Bread from outside and the smell of butter. The shop only sells scones topped with Irish butter and blackberry jam. The scones are made with Odlums Flour from Ireland and displayed throughout the shop. Ordering was quick and we enjoyed live Irish music while we waited. The scones are served warm in a open box and is a mix of a traditional scone and biscuit. The blackberry jam is slightly tart but complements the butter. The entire process from arrival to leaving was about 40 minutes, but well worth it. They definitely live up to the hype.

Cookie crawl pitstop! The irish soda bread is soft and fluffy. Very buttery but light at the same time. Perfect by itself but also good with jam and butter

I'm very torn on how to rate Mary O's. They say that they make scones and I don't like scones so if they're scones, I'll give it 4 stars. However, to me, this was closer to biscuit. It was verrry buttery and all you can smell is butter upon arrival. So if it's biscuits, I'll give it 3 stars. It does come out piping hot and they put jam on it. But it's not really worth the $7 and almost hour long wait. We arrived around 10:30-11am and there was no line out the door but there were a lot of people standing around a line as if they were lined up to order. But it's cause the shop is tiny and narrow so there's nowhere to really wait around. So definitely ask if people are in line. The was no line to order but after ordering, i realized why. They make the scones in batches so depending on when you arrive in the batch, you could be waiting a lonnnng time or a short time. When I ordered, they started calling names and the shop cleared out quickly. However, i stopped hearing names being called for about half an hour or so. It took me about 45 mins for my order.

Straight outta the oven!

The Irish Soda Bread scones are so good here that they make you want to slap the other scone bakers in New Yawk! My order was worth the 15-minute wait because it was served fresh out of the oven and piping hot! Mine came "fully dressed"--Mary O's lingo for a freshly baked scone topped with homemade blackberry jam and Irish butter. The scone had good texture and was not overly sweet. It was perfect in every way. Be prepared to stand on the long line out the door or to sit on the small bench outside. Terence was my server around 9:15 am on 3/1/26.

I don't normally like scones because they're so dry. I can't say that about Mary O's. This was hands down the best scone I've had. It was buttery, perfectly flakey, and the raspberry jam in the scone complimented it perfectly. The Irish butter was excellent. This scone was incredibly moist. I almost forgot it was a scone, and not a moist muffin. The only downside I can think of is the wait, it's brutal. I waited about 1 hour and a half. Thank god I was catching up with a friend. Overall, I would highly recommend Mary O's Irish Soda Bread.

As a person who loves scones, I've bookmarked Mary O's since I saw it on IG almost a year ago. We all know that not all viral spots are as amazing as the influencers claim they are. Fortunately, this is indeed as amazing as they say. Dare I say, the most perfect scone I have ever had! They're baked in a muffin tin so you have the 360 crisp exterior with the airy interior. Absolute perfection on its own without the butter and jam btw. But of course a whole other level when it's dressed. I got mine to go with butter & jam on the side. Popped it in the oven for a few minutes before eating. The jam was simply perfect. Just the right amount of sweetness and not sugary like most jams are. It could be bottled up and sold! Seriously worth the hype and am def returning. Note: I'd say go as early to opening as possible. I was there at almost 11 AM. While ordering was quick, the wait time was quite long. I was there for almost 30 mins. They were sold out by noon.

Irish Soda Bread Scone

Mary O's 93 1/2 E. 7th. St. New York, NY 10009 Hot Mulled Apple Cider Irish Soda Bread Scone Located in the East Village is a locally owned Irish bakery. When I saw a long line, I knew I had to give Mary O's a try. These are a couple of the continental breakfast items I explored. Hot Mulled Apple Cider: This warm beverage is made with cinnamon and orange zest. I was reluctant to explore this drink because I usually have chilled cider. As soon as I took a sip, I was pleasantly surprised how tasty it was. Irish Soda Bread Scone: This scone is served with Irish butter and homemade blackberry jam. It was slightly crisp on the outside soft and fluffy on the inside. It is basically bread, but it is unbelievably superior and I see why this menu item has gone viral. As a bonus, there is a mini Irish Market where customers can purchase groceries that are imported from Ireland. As another bonus, a guitarist performs every Sunday. The seating is limited to a couple tables, a window ledge and an outdoor bench, but there are plenty of benches only footsteps away at Tompkins Square Park. The bakery is only open Thursday through Sunday, so please plan accordingly. This bakery may be a hole in the wall, but I can guarantee the viral scones will be satisfying to all. #maryos #irishbakery #sodabreadshop #maryosirishsodabreadshop #scones #irishsodabreadscone #hotmulledapplecider #applecider #eastvillagenyc

Best scones ever, showed up at open and there was already a semi-line. DO NOT GO ON WEEKENDS! There is always a huge line down the block. We go on weekdays nice and early. There's a few tables so if you want to sit and enjoy get there early, the staff is very chill and courteous unlike other popular spots in the area. The scones are some of the best I've had outside of Devon, the best in the US IMO. They are not stingy with the jam and the scone doesn't fall apart when you bite into it. Will continue to frequen this place as long as they're around. Please check it out if you're a scone junkie or even if you aren't.

Wow. Irish soda bread and a scone? Pinch me. So delicious. It was beyond buttery and so tasty. Only regret is that we got one. I liked drizzling honey on mine. Nice staff. 30 min line but so worth it

There was a small issue with something in a glass of the ice water and the server apologized twice and brought us a new glass no questions asked. That is a high level of service for a pub.

Not sure if I'd run back to this pub but then again I wouldn't say no if we were in the area.

We stopped in before a show without a reservation and, while the dining room was full, we were able to grab seats at the bar. Honestly, I think it worked out for the best--the bar felt more spacious than the table seating and had a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere for a Wednesday afternoon. The mocktails were as creative as they were delicious, and the cocktail menu offered plenty of tempting options as well. The bartenders were attentive, friendly, and impressively efficient, striking that perfect balance of great service without constantly interrupting your conversation. We shared the sliders and the summer salad, and both were generously portioned and perfect for splitting. Between the beautiful setting, excellent drinks, and seamless service, this is definitely a place I'll be returning to.

This particular Sunday, the crowd was a bit animated with the World Cup Final match between victorious Spain over Argentina. I saddled up at the bar and ordered a Guinness on tap poured with the right amount of head on top. It's a good tap here. I ordered the Irish Chicken Curry served half and half with white rice and French fries. It's a substantial serving for about $27 and a good value for Midtown. Strips of white meat chicken with a curry sauce that is more sweet than spicy, but certainly not overly sweet. The rice melded nicely with the sauce, which resembles gravy. The fries take on a poutine like character with the curry sauce and these are good fries on their own. I ordered another Guinness and ordered a Shepherd's pie and Irish beef stew to go, both around $25. The Shepherd's pie is as one would expect, with a thick layer of mashed potatoes over the beef. The Irish beef stew has plenty of carrot and celery chunks and some onions in a gravy with a modest amount of beef chunks over mashed potatoes. I found they go well together heated in a Pyrex dish in the oven. I found the meat in the Irish beef stew to be ironically wanting for such an eponymously named dish, but it is still quite good, with the beef tender and moist in the gravy. This is comfort food to the max. Service is great here. The atmosphere is great and what's not to like at The Long Hall. The bar is well stocked and the kitchen is up to the task, serving up what people like at a decent rate for Midtown. I would only ask to bump up the beef in the beef stew. 3.9 returnworthy stars!

Service from the bartender was great. I ordered the fish and chips and a Bloody Mary. Everything was great up till then. Unfortunately, the food was a disappointment. Maybe it was a deep fat fryer thing, but I respectfully suggest the cook be given a little additional training. The fish batter was hard on the outside, and the fish was completely mushy on the inside. Like, gray mush. The fries were lukewarm. The mushy peas and the tartar sauce were served in little covered plastic disposable containers. I'm not a fan of that, but I get it is convenient. I truly wanted to like this place, and except for my one experience with the food, I would certainly return. People were having fun, and I did as well. I believe if they become a little more attentive in the kitchen, this place is a five star pub.
