The Girls Aloud singer is said to have bought the eatery in Newport Beach, the setting for popular US TV show 'The OC'.
According to The Mirror newspaper, she was busy finalising the deal when she missed last month's Brit Awards.
Coyle, whose family recently moved to nearby Santa Monica to open an Irish pub, said: "LA is my home now and the UK is where I work. I don't see the UK as home anymore because all my family are in the States."
The Derry-born singer and Hollywood star Josh Hartnett were recently the subject of rumours after they were spotted together several times last week.

Cowell angry over Osbourne's behaviour
Simon Cowell has criticised Sharon Osbourne, describing her recent criticism of fellow 'X-Factor' judge Dannii Minogue as "wrong".
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, Cowell said that he was unhappy about Osbourne's appearance on 'The Graham Norton Show', where she claimed that Minogue had only been hired for her looks.
Cowell said: "You see a grown-up Sharon behaving like this in public. I think it's wrong. Certain things should be done behind closed doors - the limelight shouldn't be taken from the contestants. I wish Sharon would ask my advice before she does things instead of trying to deal with it herself."
"Sharon would be the first to admit that we've had a turbulent relationship over the last three or four years, but I've got to know her a lot better this year," he added.
Cowell also insisted that Minogue had more than enough experience to justify her position as a judge on the show.
He said: "I was intrigued as to whether or not she could do the job. She's done a ton of songs, movies, 'Grease' and 'Home and Away'. That's exactly the sort of experience you need to be a judge. And she's worked harder with the artists than anyone else. She did 20-hour days."
Asked if all of the judges will be back next year, Cowell replied: "A hundred per cent - if they can get on."

With its roots in gospel singing, doo dago, and the advanced jazz-influenced singing groups of mid-century America like the Hi-Los, the a cappella vocal grouping Take 6 is both a throwback to an sooner, more civilized earned run average of American music and a precursor for a number of black male pop groups of the '90s (most notably Boyz II Men). Its members include David Thomas, Alvin Chea, Cedric Dent, Mark Kibble, Claude V. McKnight III, and Joey Kibble (world Health Organization replaced Mervyn Warren). McKnight and Mark Kibble caught the a cappella bug at Alabama's Oakwood College in the early '80s, forming a vocal mathematical group that solidified into Take 6 when singer/arranger Warren joined up in 1985. They signed a accord with the Reunion label in 1988, recording arrangements of Negro spirituals and newly composed material on their number 1 album, Doo Be Doo Wop Bop! They were rapidly picked up by Warner Bros.' Reprise label, for whom they started qualification smooth up to now vocally adventuresome albums that withstand pigeonholing other than the general-purpose a cappella label. Take 6 has too recorded Christmas carols, toured with Al Jarreau, appeared on Quincy Jones' all-star Indorse on the Block album, and on Join the Band (1994) they used instrumental financial support for the number 1 time. However, 1996's Brothers album indicated a turn toward commercial-grade, sound-alike soulfulness music that threatened to rob Take 6 of its unique individuality. So Cool followed in 1998, with We Wish You a Merry Christmas coming into court a yr later. The new millennium was a time of rejuvenation. Beautiful World, released in April 2002, showcased an incredible instrumentality and Take 6's new musical approach.
