The Irish Coffee Bistro & Sandwich Pub

We needed a quick breakfast and coffee before our tourist day and Irish delivered. Outdoor seating, good sandwiches, friendly staff. They seemed to know several patrons.

I was sad to hear that this place closed. My family and I really enjoyed stopping for a cup of coffee while in LA visiting family. It was a comfortable and cozy environment with great coffee and good food.

A really fun, different environment for a coffee shop. A great find. Lovely owner.

CLOSED! And I was meaning to get around to writing a review so it would get more business. This is all my fault, apparently.
Well, it was good. I wondered why it didn’t get more business. Great empty upstairs with comfy chairs and decent music, not too loud. You could work for hours uninterrupted, for the price of a latte and a muffin. Oy. There is no escape from Starbucks now. You must submit.

Had just gotten really into this spot — SO sad that it’s gone now without warning. I’ve been calling for weeks, thinking maybe they were just renovating since I had seen some people in working there…
I just want to say THANK YOU to the owners and staff and wish them well. It was an accommodating coffee shop, great place to relax with friends or work, with incredible food, and the best coffee in WeHo for such reasonable prices.
Whatever comes in next has some big shoes to fill!

I’m so very sad to see that this place closed, with no warning whatsoever. I’ve been a telecommuter for over 10 years, and this place was like a second home to me, since it opened. I worked out of there 2 or 3 times a week. They had delicious food, fast wi-​fi, a nice quiet location for productivity, and a friendly family-​run staff. And a cozy upstairs loft. It was the only place of its kind in that part of West Hollywood. Now all that is left are corporate stores, such as Starbucks and Coffee Bean.
Thank you to the owners and staff, who made this such a great place to visit.
I was also sad when the previous business closed (another coffee shop). I’m hoping someone is able to open another coffee place at this location, and are able to make it work.

Gone?! This was one of my favorite places. Very bummed to discover on my latest visit that they’re no longer there. I had just been there 2 weeks earlier and there was no sign of them going away.
I often would take my laptop here to work, eat lunch, drink, etc. The owner was great, service was great, vibe was great, music was great, food and drinks were good… It was a unique place with character.
I’m hoping they come back or Joe relocates. If not, thanks again Joe — you ran a great place.

We were very surprised and sad to see that they are suddenly no longer there.
We were huge fans and the place as it was the perfect local coffee shop with lots of charm, friendliness and most of all – delicious coffee.
My hope is that it pops us elsewhere at some point in the future.
But if not, thanks for everything.

Awww, this was the best place ever, and it looks like they’re gone without a warning! Walked by yesterday and saw (to my dismay) that the store is stripped and barren…
Honestly, the guys that ran this place were fantastic, and it was such a sweet, great alternative to the cold corporate coffee places on SMB. A terrific place to sit and chill (or work), genuinely friendly service, the best turkey/​pesto wraps in the universe, and wine and beer! My partner and I are really heartbroken that this place is no more. Also, very disappointed that there was no head’s up about closing. I wish these guys well, though, and hope they are on to bigger and better things. I will truly miss this very special neighborhood hangout. RIP

The coffee is best in the hood! Café Americano is better than anyplace else around and the service is super.

Adorable, tiny little find on Santa Monica Blvd.
A friend and I went on a weekend for brunch. We saw online that they had a ‘secret’ menu, but the server wasn’t aware of it. We ordered sandwiches which came with free beer — you can never go wrong with that! I loved the panini I got; my friend was less enthusiastic about hers, but thats her review to write.
Towards the end of our meal, the server came out with two glasses full to the brim with fresh, house-​made sangria. He had called the owner (s) about the secret menu and this was it. Because of the misunderstanding, it was on the house. He also had two free glasses for the other women in the nearby table. Thats great service, both on the servers part and the owners. I’m only sorry I can’t remember his name.

In an area with so many amazing breakfast choices, this one was super underwhelming. I ordered a coffee, water, and breakfast panini–
Coffee — Huge letdown. I realize this place isn’t Blu Jam or King’s Road but I could get the same coffee from 7-​Eleven just up the street for less. I’m really confused by this mostly because they have such good reviews for their coffee-​based drinks. How can a restaurant in WeHo have great lattes, mochas, whatever and not basic, good, black coffee?
Water — Normally I don’t care, but this place is filled with more coolers than a truck stop. Can’t I have a glass like a normal restaurant?
Breakfast panini — Honestly I can’t remember what it was except that there was a microwave involved (really?), lots of some sort of spicy sauce, and that I just wanted to finish & leave.
Bummer.

Found this great little spot while staying with friends in the area. The employees are wonderfully friendly, and the food was a great price for with good portions for a cheap price! Helped me stay on budget!
Got a wonderful breakfast of sausage, egg, and cheese which was made fresh for me and a great cup of coffee. Highly recommend this place. Especially if you’re looking for good food at a low cost!

Amazing place, chill atmosphere and the sandwiches to die for! ;)
Try the turkey chabata with pesto, very fresh and rich taste.
A big variety of coffee and smoothies and plenty of nice small tables to chill at and enjoy a lazy weekend morning.

I’ve never eaten here before, although I have picked up my occasional iced coffee to-​go. Today I had a egg, bacon and cheese sandwich which hit the spot perfectly. Oh, and coffee — of course.
Staff is extremely friendly and the cleanliness is noticeable miles away. Great spot in West Hollywood indeed.

Eagerly standing outside peering in, we were the first customers on a Sunday before heading to the Getty Villa. Nice stretch of town for location, the lone employee running the show was chill and very nice, and efficient. Fun Irish decorations in a cozy space, nice pastries and the coffee was just right

We ordered two of «Aidell’s chicken meatball» sandwiches to go. Simply put, they were not good. The meatballs were very pour quality and clearly had been previously frozen.
We also ordered two chocolate chip cookies to go. At first glance they looked like they were obviously from a local grocery store or Walmart. And Yep, they were terrible. One small taste and they both went in the trash.
Not sure what’s going on here. Really wanted to like this place, but the food (we tried) was store-​bought and very poor quality.

Coffee was decent but at 2.45 with no refills not sure I would come back if I just wanted some coffee.
Caramel macchiato was good though not far off of other coffee shops

Great find!
I live right around the corner and hadn’t even tried out this place due to the exterior. Thought it was going to be a stuffy little old-​school place, but instead it was a bright, airy, lofty space with a genuinely cool vibe.
There are many small tables and a secluded upstairs with lots of outlets and comfy chairs. With free wifi, this is a laptop working haven. The only downside is that they close at 6:30pm, so you can’t get evening work done. But on the weekends, I will definitely start coming here.
In terms of drinks, I love the iced drinks, but I’m sure the warm drinks are fantastic too. They have many many creative smoothies, iced slushy-​type drinks, as well as hot chocolates. They also have a good lunch and breakfast menu. I tried the turkey, egg, cheese sandwich with tomato, onions on ciabatta. Wow! Great ingredients.
Did I also mention that the food is dirt cheap here? Food runs $ 5 – 7.

Great place for coffee on the go or breakfast! They have a breakfast and lunch menu. I love the bacon, egg, cheese sandwich. Hot, crisp and delicious.
The staff is awesome, funny and treat you like the gang. Love these guys. Thanks Joe for bringing Awesomeness to my day!
Nice n cozy casual setting. You can bring in your laptop and chill. Also an upstairs area for privacy.
You can also exit out the backdoor.
