Leprechaun
Jeremy K.

So, I had been looking forward to coming here for the longest time after it being recommended as "the best Irish breakfast you'll ever have, better than in Ireland". This was coming from an Irish woman who had moved to the area less than five years earlier that we just happened to meet while at another interesting food establishment. I made sure to not to get too excited or put the Hibernian on a pedestal before trying because I didn't want to end up in any kind of disappointing situation, and wanted to give it a fair shot and not base me expectations solely on what was told to me by a few people. Unfortunately, I am a bit sore and surprised today as I found that while the service and people here are impeccable and the experience was wonderful, nothing I had was just as great as had been described, and I simply just wasn't wowed by much. However, the cafe con latte was outstanding! This little storefront and eatery is small and cramped, but that's part of its charm, and it has the old built in table booths that I love from the 70's. Being greeted immediately with a wonderful attitude, I was already ready for all the wonders I had been told this place kept locked inside and quickly found the cafe con latte I ordered was PERFECTLY crafted with a mellow coffee blend and just the right amount of milk to blend the flavors into caffeinated bliss. Then I ordered what I came for.....the Irish breakfast. Deciding to go with the small Irish breakfast was a smart move on my part because even that was pretty massive. Now, let me say, this is a FULL Irish breakfast. It's all there. Everything in its place, just like it should be, tables even complete with HP sauce. However, the potatoes were the best part. Not that it shouldn't be a great part, but they weren't true hash, and everything else was just lackluster. It was bland. The last thing I expected after being constantly told of Hibernian's legendary status. I'm sure this opinion is likely not popular either, with how much it appears that people love it here. The omelet we ordered was also just as baseline. Nothing special, and nothing to make it all that flavorful. There is always the possibility that I was here on an off day, and it's worth another shot, because it's not often you find a very cool place like this. All the people shouting about this being the greatest breakfast in town can't be wrong. They obviously have something that makes them very special and I feel like I may have simply missed it or it just wasn't present in my meal and I want to experience it so badly. But until I do, I simply can't say they're the best. Still worth a stop in if you're in the area though; not sure if you'll ever find another place that has both Mexican and Irish specialties in one place!

Bacon Egg and Cheese on Everything Bagle
Anoah C.

Small breakfast spot with reasonable prices. Pick up or eat inside, mom and pop shop ambiance, service was made to order, quick and friendly.

Grits Eggs & American Bacon platter
Ashley P.

Hibernian coffee shop is in the cut, but you don't want to miss it! A very cute and small coffee shop with a lot of character! Service was amazing! It was my family and I's first time there and the waitress was very patient and accommodating. Every modification and request was taken care of, no questions asked. The food was great! Although the grits lack seasoning, those pancakes were so tasty! For the price, you get plenty of food! Will definitely be back!

Traditional Irish breakfast and 3pc French toast
Rachael T.

Eggcellent diner food options with an Irish twist. Seating is limited but there's fast turnover with the speedy service. Ordered the full Irish and got everything my heart wanted and more. The blood sausages were crispy and the bangers were delicious. That plus the beans and eggs over easy, all together, can't go wrong! They had the usual table condiments but also some truly "across the pond favourites" of malt vinegar and this HP sauce which reminded me of A1 and, per their recommendation, went fantastic with the beans. Parter got some French toast (in addition to sharing the huge full Irish breakfast). I don't usually like French toast but this was fantastically crispy and eggy in a way I haven't had before, might be a convert! It had a fair crowd on a Sunday morning so it's not slept on at least, for very good reason. Make a point to check out this place!

Chocolate bars

About 25 minutes from Art Museum. Very friendly lady who has owned place for last 17 years. Great coffee and Irish breakfast. Lot of snacks and chocolate candy. Inside, you feel like you're in Southie before it got bougie

Veggie Omelette with Grits. Delicious!
Karen G.

Food and service is about average for a diner style restaurant. They're friendly enough, the food is cheap and it's usually served hot. I've had better, I've had worse for frills dining.

There's my other scone in the hands of a hungry man.

This is a family favorite. We have gone here enough times that the waitress asked me where my daughter was this morning, when we stopped in for breakfast. My daughter is off at college and we she comes home for break she will make sure to drop in, she loves the scones, colcannon, and chicken curry. Today I had a small Irish breakfast (eggs, beans, fried tomatoes, potatoes, and a variety of Irish breakfast meats), a side of curry sauce, and a sugar scone with coffee. My husband had beans, over toast topped with a fried egg and coffee. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. The shop has a variety of Irish and Mexican grocery items at the front of the restaurant to take home. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with a choice of Irish, Mexican, and American menu items. It's always a treat to come into this local Delco establishment and enjoy some international flavors. It goes without saying we'll be back!

I've passed this tidy little store front coffee shop too many times to mention. Decided to finally pop in for breakfast. Showed up "late", or around 8:45 on a Sunday and was happy to get one of 6-8 small booths right away. Inside is no less quaint. The owners maintained the heavy Irish decor while influences of their Mexican heritage are on the menu! Where else can you get an Irish Breakfast perfectly wrapped in tortilla to make an Irish breakfast wrap. The front of the restaurant doubles as shelf goods from the UK and Mexico.

Irish soda
S W.

Just stopped in for the first time today. I love places like this. Independent small business restaurants with a unique theme. I'm not sure why it's Irish and Mexican, but I love it! My friend had fish and chips, and I got a veggie breakfast wrap (they serve breakfast all day!). He let me try the chips on his plate and they were delicious. I also tried an Irish soda. Everything was delicious and the people who worked there were nice. Bathroom was very clean. Lots of unique specialty items from the UK for sale as well, including Cadbury chocolate.

[589] I've been wanting to check this highly rated place for months so when my friend wanted to meet for breakfast I knew the place we should visit. There is metered parking across the street so don't let the busy street scare you away. The restaurant is a small business so make sure you pay in cash if you can. Pedro is the cook and he is very friendly so it was easy talking to him. The waitress (didn't catch her name) was very nice as well and very attentive. There is a small grocery store in the front which is great to pick up local items. The restaurant is set up with booths unless there are 2 of you .. you can sit at a smaller table. My veggie omelet was very tasty. I really enjoyed the homemade home fries. I added onions but I could have skipped that. My friend had eggs and sausage and she enjoyed it. She is a frequent customer. I saw some other tasty looking items I want to try for lunch. So.. I'll definitely be back.

Homemade chips!

So I've been to many British food places, and this was the best one so far! The curry and chips were amazing! I've not come across one place that has real homemade chips like back home in the uk, I travelled an hour to go there, they also have lots of British groceries, all reasonably priced, the service was brilliant! I think I have found my new favorite place, I need to try the whole menu! Fish and chips next, also the curry reminded me of back home, so if any Brit's out there wanna a taste of back home?! This is your place. Highly recommend, 10/10.

Breakfast burrito with guacamole

Food is always amazing as is the service. They have a whole selection of British and Irish candies, cookies and jellies. This is my absolute favorite, breakfast burrito with their verde, red and guacamole. Absolutely bit pricey but absolutely delicious

Miguel V.

Had to say this place is a gem. A family owned and run establishment with great breakfast. The service was amazing and the food was equally amazing. Definitely see this place as a Sunday morning before church spot. Will be returning for certain

Huevos ala Mexicana with Chorizo and jalapeño. $8.99. Spicy goodness!

My wife and I were in Philly for a long weekend and this place looked pretty cool…read more The bouncer checked our ID and we were led through the packed bar to a table for two. They had really good beer prices and I ordered an IPA and a Philly Cheesesteak and a hummus plate. After having some amazing cheesesteaks, this one was a little subpar, not bad but nothing compared to Angelo's, which was amazing. The hummus was really great and we went through it, so good. Pretty good service for such a packed place. Kind of dive bar, but obviously people loved it. Lots of TVs on the walls and I think it has been around a long time. Located in an alley type road. Worth a try.

Its pretty cool on the inside, definitely passes the Irish pub vibe check. One thing that killed it for us right away: it was LOUD. Sure, we're not in our twenties anymore, but we're not super old. It was mid afternoon, before dinner time, and the music was so loud we were going to have to yell across the tiny table to hear each other. After walking around in the heat all day it was just not what we were looking for. We did stay for a drink. He had a decent old fashioned, though pretty tiny for the price. I had a beer, and it was what would be expected. The one thing that really stood out was the server. She was nice, pleasant, and very quick. I'd maybe go back if I was in the right mood, but that day was certainly not the day for me.

There is a large parking lot making it convenient. The outdoor space has many tables and fire pits, and lots of turf to make it more cozy. While they didn't have anything while we were there, there was also a stage which sometimes has Irish dancing and other entertainment under a large outdoor tent. There are also outdoor TVs. The indoor space looks decent too, but we only popped our heads in - seems like a typical bar type setup with a festive crowd. We chose our own outdoor seats since they weren't busy, and were quickly brought waters and menus. We ordered the Bavarian pretzel, and opted to split a roast pork sandwich. (Sadly, I was too hungry and didn't snap pics of that part). The pretzel is huge and came with mustard and cheese -- overall, the perfect soft pretzel. Good thing we decided to split the sandwich because it was also huge. Flavor was good and we were both satisfied. Simple presentation and no fuss - kind of what we expected with the name Yard Pub. The beer I got wasn't great, nor were their options, so keep that in mind. Overall, the service was friendly and we found our meal and experience to be exactly what we were looking for. We actually sent my in-laws here when they were in town watching our dog and they enjoyed it as well.
