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!
I was in the area for a visit to the Empire City casino. Rather than eat the crappy food at the casino, I decided to venture out.
The Irish Coffee Shop is a small restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. We stopped in around 3pm for lunch. I was disappointed that they were out of Shepherd's pie. I had fish and chips. The fish was good, but it was just two thin pieces and the fries were nothing special.
The chicken pot pie was good.
Lady at the next table had the Irish breakfast, which looked pretty good.
The place wasn't crowded but the service was a little inattentive. There were two, might I add very beautiful, Irish waitresses working but they weren't at our table too much.
The coffee was very good, which is a good thing considering the name of the place.
All in all was a bit disappointed.
