Hmmm…Buka Puasa the Irish way?

Definitely none other than the FAMOUS O’Briens, the Irish Sandwich Bar itself!

My favorite O’Briens at The Curve.

O’Briens is now offering you their new HEALTHY option sandwich and wrap range for this Ramadhan month, packed full of varities of nutritious ingredients.

Extremely fresh ingredients for their famous made-to-order hot or cold sandwiches such as the Shambos, Tripledecker, and Wrappos literally built to each customer’s taste!

The very best cup of fair, ethical and honest coffee brought to you by O’Briens’ very finest Italian master-roasters.

So if your favourite speciality coffee is a cappuccino, café latte, mocha, Americano, macchiato or espresso, you can be sure to enjoy the very best natural flavours and aromas. And no matter how good the source of their beans or blend, it still has to be made to perfection.

O’Briens’ ORGANIC chips are irresistibly addictive! Thin, crispy and flavorful.

Something that I would never refuse to order.

Besides the freshly made Irish sandwiches of your choice, O’Briens offers you hot and honeyed pastries as well.

Juices & Smoothies!

Moreover, they have an extensive juice bar menu plus a popular range of delicious smoothies. And because their juices & smoothies are made freshly, right in front of you, you’re free to add or remove ingredients as you wish!

To quench your thirst, or set you up for the day ahead, they’ve got a wide selection of chilled drinks – both soft drinks and their own bottled mineral water, available in still, sparkling and flavoured.

Don’t forget about their iced coffee options, either – both café frappe and café mocha are fantastic cool-me-downs when things are hotting up!

Irish Sandwich Bar is just perfect for you to have a quick meal while reading the daily newspaper by the glass window.
