O Brien's Irish Sandwich Bar

O Brien's Irish Sandwich Bar Description: Gourmet coffee and Irish sandwiches http://www.obriens.co.uk Every day when I am walking down the street (Northumberland Street in Newcastle, just in case you are interested!), I pass O'Briens and quite often, I pop in for something. We also use their catering service at work to deliver food when we have clients in the office. Unfortunately, they are not the cheapest place to eat or drink. A coffee can cost in the region of £2 and soft drinks and waters are also expensive. Sandwiches cost around £3.50 and there are also a selection of sweet treats, which again can be a ...  Read the complete review

I work in Glasgow city centre and sometimes I am like the rest of the workers out there and have a bad morning and need something to give you that little pick me up and so when O'Briens recently opened a new place across from my work I decided to give them a shot.

I recently went to obriens sandwich bar in abbeycentre newtownabbey. I was really hungry and wanted a sandwich. It had the same kind of layout as starbucks or like any coffe shop were you go up to order what you want. I did not like this kind of service as I have a son and it is quite hard trying to order food and keep them occupied incase they get bored. I also like a service were you can sit down and they come to you. Anyway that was my first bad point about the place but it would not annoy other people. This is my opinion. I also orderd a chicken and mayop salad sandwic and it was basic nothing spectacular or not a big sandwich I could have made one myself ...  Read the complete review

Starbucks introduced the concept of posh coffee shops to the UK, and since then I think most people have visited at least one. I've never been a coffee fan, but I do adore chai made with steamed milk which most of these places do. There's an O'Brien's standing opposite my office, and it can be hard to resist the temptation to pop in and grab one on the way to work. Drinks are, as usual in these places expensive with most falling between £1.50 and £3.00 - I think my chai usually costs just under £2.00. They do also sell food but I'm too scared to LOOK at the prices for that, let alone try it. The chai taste though is what keeps coming back. ...  Read the complete review
