Cafe Mauds in Belfast

very very expensive like bro why is it one pound for sauce

Great service and great food! Highly recommended 👍🏼

Honestly horrified at how one of your staff members spoke to my family members when we went into the store this evening. The girl that was serving my sisters was interrupted by a blonde girl who I was told is called Aoife and who was extremely dismissive and rude. Honestly she was acting like she had taken drugs with her wide eyes and agitated demeanour. This caused my sister to become extremely intimidated and distressed. I couldn’t believe this as we had always had nice experiences here but she really let you all down.

Ice cream melted all over bag had to be put in bin

The waffle hardly had any chocolate on it

The ice cream was delicious, the atmosphere was nice, and the venue was really cute.

"I saw that it received 5 stars for hygiene standards, but it was far from hygienic. The knives, spoons, and forks were all poorly washed, and the napkin holder was filthy. Additionally, cleaning the area where they add sauce to the ice cream with a blue napkin seemed very unhygienic. Since it’s an ice cream station, instead of using a blue napkin, the surface layer of ice should be properly cleaned to make it ready for service. I came to this place because of its high ratings on Google, but I was very disappointed and, due to the lack of hygiene standards, I'm giving it 1 star. Also, the ice cream itself was nothing special; it felt like eating regular store-bought ice cream. Even '99' ice creams taste better than this."

Ice cream was amazing different things to choose from good with kids

We popped in for lunch on a family break to Belfast. Delicious sandwiches and fantastic ice cream, which the kids loved! Generous helpings too

A great evening in “cafe mauds” Lisburn road branch. I was greeted by absolute darlin’ who was grinning from ear to ear. Never in my life have I seen such a set of pearly whites. And the icecream selection- my goodness the choices! In the end I opted for the classic “Pooh bear”- twas delish! Anywho- must head on now- the kettles boilt and my evening cup of tea is ready! Pip pip!

£11 for two 'milkshakes'. Two scoops of ice cream blended with 300ml of milk, resulting in a thin unpleasant milky liquid. £5.50 each. Obscene.

Portion size not as generous as previous deliveries

Went on sundsy night was busy not long to be seated the owner was nice got lemon meringue and raspberry white chocolate gatto. Will be back

In the top tier of desserts that you can get delivered here. Great cheesecake, the sundaes and mix-ins are always terrific.

Ice cream shop. To many to mention but quality 👌

Food is beautiful but staff are slow, unhelpful and don't seem to be able to section off behind the counter and organise themselves.

I like this Cafe, there is a good service and the team is very lovely, we ordered waffle and crepe and a cookie dough, they are very delicious. Thank you

Went for iceCream/desserts late afternoon. It was crowded and we had to wait for being seated. The place was v busy, buzzing n noisy with family crowd. We went with teenaged kids and didn't mind the rush, infact would describe it lively . But maybe not for someone looking for a quieter setting. Chocolate Sunday is a large portion size n we struggled to finish it all even though it was yumm. Nothing to complain there. Mixins of both Chocolate n Strawberry were great . Cheese cake comes with an option of ice-cream or cream. We mistakenly said ice-cream but we're also served cream when asked later, promptly by our server. Great wee outlet n we love popping down there at all times of the day.

didn't receive my bottle of lemon Fanta.

shake is watery ,not thick,no requested toppings

Collected food and it was not what I had ordered. Cookie, freezing with 2 tubs of ice cream thrown into bag. Milkshake tasted like it had been sitting for an hour prior. No straw to drink milkshake with. As if statf couldn’t have cared less putting this order together

Ate here today, had poached eggs on toast, only issue I had was eggs were extremely small, for £6 I'd expect large eggs. Other than that everything was good, service was excellent. I would return but will be asking for larger eggs 😁

Love the speciality cheesecakes here, the best one being walnut pistachio cheesecake. However, the carrot gâteau wasn't up to the mark and I have had better ones elsewhere. Overall it's definitely quite priced compared to the portion served.

Visited with my elderly mother for a mix-in. The staff were very friendly, and the place was very clean. As always it was delicious, just need to add the 'white berry berry mix-in' back to the menu!

Great time had by all. Food was excellent. Children’s menu was brilliant with generous portion sizes. Staff are wonderful and went above and beyond with our five year old. Look forward to our next visit. Thank you ++

Good choice of cakes and deserts, which my family enjoyed. Choice of gluten free deserts isn't great but good to have a choice of vegan ice creams and dairy free alternative milk for hot drinks.

Disappointing amount of ice cream in the carton definitely not as generous portions that have been in previous orders

They have a really bad service they get to you the wrong order and they say you order it .it my first and the last time I go there.

Ice cream was out of this world delicious. Staff so lovely and friendly great atmosphere. Next time we visit Northern Ireland we are definitely going there again.

Lovely food and great quick service. Our meals were lovely thank you very much

A good cafe, always busy. I love the mix ins. Sometimes have to wait but it’s good to see businesses that are able to get as much custom. Only issue is that they could do with extending the shop making it bigger as it can be quite crowded.

Brutal and two milkshakes for 11 pounds one scoop of ice cream in them won't be back

Food is disgusting Why do cafe's assume everyone eats cheese, The staff did'nt even have the gaul to ask if there was an issue despite the fact I left my food on another table to be noticed,, Two visits today, First and Last

All chocolate no ice cream in the mix ins

I must say, the cuisine at this cafeteria is absolutely delightful! It's not just good; it's truly delectable! The freshness and quality of the food are impeccable, with a wide array of cuisines to cater to every taste. I highly recommend this place for a meal. For a special treat, indulge in their pancakes or waffles, accompanied by a delicious hot chocolate. And if you're here for lunch, you simply must try the eggs benedict. The food here is exceptional, and I thoroughly enjoy every visit. I'll definitely be returning again someday!

Myself and my friends went to cafe mauds for some milkshakes and smoothies, order it and was waiting for it to then be served a “warm milkshake” I then asked it this meant to be a little warm and she was like sorry what and offered it to put in in them freezer so I accepted but then to me sitting at my table and hear her say to her colleagues “ imagine that wee girl complaining about her milkshake” and laughing about it was completely disgusting and so disrespectful I will not be back I was made a fresh milkshake that’s cold the way they are meant to be. The girl that brought this fresh one down was lovely but the service was terrible especially it being my first time and not something I would expect on the Lisburn road.

Lovely as always.Very friendly staff.Great coffe and ice creams!

Great customer service. Speedy and tasty.

Forgot my dips i paid 3 pound for :(

Arrived 20 mins earlier than estimated. Go-to chippy for South Belfast. Great food and A1 customer service!

I ordered Brownie Desserts. No strawberries at all just the brownie. Seriously not hard to put strawberries on it! 👎

Always buzzing with a great atmosphere and the ice cream is to die for. Had the bounty mix in and chocolate brownie sundae. Unreal

Staff really friendly. Made me and my little boy feel very welcome. Lovely food.

First time we’ve ordered the waffles were perfect! Second time (this time) my waffle was partially burned and partially gummy and another part was ok. The second one we had was slightly “dry” not as a waffle should be… ice cream on point tho!

Call in from time to time to get a take out lunch. The café never fails to impress me and the staff are lovely. It was absolute bedlam today with people queuing for seats but I was able to bypass them to get a takeaway. I got the soup as usual with fresh wheaten bread. Staff buttered it for me and offered to carry it out as I was on a crutch. The leek and potato soup was very tasty and amazing. Would definitely recommend Café Mauds as a really nice place to eat. The mains are delicious and compared to some places, very reasonably priced.

I swear on my life I saw Stevie Nicks in here one day

Nice atmosphere and great waffles. However, after checking my bank and menu afterwards, they overcharged me by over £2 when I only ordered one item.

Visited Mauds a few days ago and it wasn’t particularly crowded or busy. Waited 5 minutes to be seated and then…. Nothing for a further 10 minutes. Not even asked if we would like a drink once seated. Left and went to 5A where the service was slick and professional. Have used Mauds in the past and had a great experience, might have been an off day but not sure we will return 🤔

Visited on 9th of December 2023 with my family. Staff were friendly but service was incredibly slow. I spent over £5 for an embarrassingly small piece of cake. It was nice but absolutely tiny. Twice serving staff approached my table with the wrong order. My wife did enjoy her crepes though and said they were delicious. I would find it hard to justify visiting again.

Desserts were good but coconut ice cream missing from the waffle

Really like it here. We go about once a week between class and gym sessions. Can be busy but food is always nice and staff are friendly and accommodating.

Half the large tubs where empty. I’m not sure if you have poorly trained staff or what but two half large tubs for £18 come on

Unbelievable sundaes and mix-ins

Really tasty brunch - pancake stack and chorizo scrambled egg were both delicious!

Left waiting while staff talked among themselves looking at me from time to time. Had to ask to get service. Customer service is left wanting. I would recommend customer service training.

There is nothing like a Maud to cheer you up when your not well 🤧

Really nice cafe on the Lisburn Road serving great quality food

Asked for kinder bueno and honeycomb icecream milkshake this consisted of 3 scoops of the ivecream and a tiny drop of milk. £11 for x2 milkshakes is daylight robbery and it's the worst milkshake I've ever had. Had to takeaway as place had no seats. Will avoid in future.

Lovely meal today, food fantastic, salad so fresh!

ordered about three hours in advance and was still late. order came cold even tho stating hot. missing toppings we selected and paid extra for and no untensils after requesting them.

Grande wee place for brekki ...Really lovely poached eggs ,avocado, and sourdough!!,

Honestly, how hard is it to get an order right??? £45 worth of deserts and ice cream and half of it comes. Absolute joke!!!!

Visited here some while ago, during lockdown. Staff were lovely and very accommodating, service was great and food was excellent. If I had one criticism it would be this, I ordered poached eggs with bacon, poached eggs were excellent, however, the bacon appeared to have been deep fried, (a poor chefs / cooks lazy way to cook bacon). Had the bacon been fried the tradional way it would've been 5 stars. Nonetheless, I would go back and just not have the bacon.

Great ice cream. Recommend the mix ins. The Ferrero sundae seems to be taken off the menu often but recommend it too when it’s there. Will have to try some of the others.

This little ice cream shop is amazing! There are lots of different varieties of flavours for you to try. The staff were very friendly and their ice cream was absolutely delicious! I would definitely recommend going to this small shop. I would definitely recommend if going there get cookies and cream.

Amongst the best here. Mix ins are great, all are a must try. I wish you could select things to include in them. Sundaes are distinctly high quality. The Ferrero sundae was like a Ferrero Rocher right through.

Decided to go as I wanted a good crepe, Jesus was I sorry I went here. Crepe was under cooked, literal jelly and far too thick. Hence not a crepe. Inexperienced staff cooking these crepes (young ones) obviously not the young ones fault as owners trying to save on hiring older staff. Really disappointed. Just a money making scheme. Didn’t say anything as didn’t want to make a fuss over a crepe but didn’t touch it and got up and left. Hope they took the hint.

Nice atmosphere, helpful and friendly staff. The place can be very busy, be prepared for queueing.. prices are on the bit pricy end if you are going in numbers, but the quality is good 👍 ... Thanks folks 👏

Staff are so good. Everyones busy and friendly. We had a great experience and will be coming back.

Awful…. Wrong order AGAIN!!! Cafe want nothing to do with it!!!! Sooooooooo overpriced

Disaster…. Wrong order and customer service was terrible. Clearly think they’re too good

Lovely busy place, great selection of deli type foods plus lasagne, various sausage rolls, salads etc. The cakes, waffles, ice creams (soo many flavours ) milkshakes etc look nearly too appealing. Busy so you may need to wait - but it's worth it.

All excellent thanks you for good job

You'll never be let down for food at any Maud's, and this place is no different. The only fly in the ointment is the battery hen feeling of being crammed in when it's busy.

Saw some reviews about the Just Eat drivers letting the service down, but mine was dead on. Everything was correct and well packaged up. I had the brownie and it was 🤌🏻

My self and my partner love this place , we always in it but just tonight Saturday the 12/08 , there was a waitress going up and down clearing straight away people not even finish yet , it did feel like want you to eat and drink finish and leave was very disappointed, as it's a popular place and our favourite place to come we come with the idea to wait to get a seat and than feel we get push out by eat and hurry up

تناولت وجبه الفطور وهي عباره عن سندوش دجاج وطماطم مجففه وجرجير على شريحه خبز وبان كيك وقهوه فلات وايت...المكان نظيف والاكل لذيد ..يعتبر المقهي من المقاهي المميزه في لزبن روود ..الموظفين بشوشين والخدمه سريعه..اكرر الزياره

There was a wasp in my sauce… a fully intact dead wasp…

Very tasty veggie crêpes here ( other fillings available!) Good coffee too.

Bought a group of 23 students in for an end of year treat. They couldn’t have been more accommodating to fit us all in and looked after the girls really well. Service was incredible considering the quantity of orders and the food was beautiful! A really happy place and the children loved it! Thank you!

Best ice cream in the world. Hands down

Kids loved their treats thank you so much guys 👍

Just awful - staff completely disengaged

I ordered chocolate cake and banofee with ice cream they were delicious

It's a very welcoming spot. Great for that Maud's 🍨🍦. A welcome break from the heat in the park.

I’ve been looking for a waffle place in Belfast and just recently discovered Cafe Mauds. Their waffle is by far the best I have tried in belfast. My favourite in their menu is the banana and toffee waffle. The banana balances out the sweetness of the toffee and I think they are a perfect combination. Definitely recommending place to those looking for a good dessert place.

Always busy. A good sign. Our go to for mid morning coffee and scones. Selection of food looks great. Lots of ice creams. WiFi.

Clean, with fast service & really tasty. Lovely staff came around offering free coffee top up. Nice touch. I Will be back.

Great selection of food and treats Staff were FANTASTIC so friendly and attentive esp in regards to allergy advice.

Not as good as their restaurant in Newcastle.

Staff are lovely…. Food is incredible. Mix ins although expensive are honestly just insane

Poor service. Was standing.. Waiting for a table but ignored!

The standard of food that arrived was extremely poor for what it cost. Both mix in tubs were barely filled half way as opposed to when we purchase these items in store. Very disappointed considering how much they cost.

Poor presentation. Milkshake very thin

Only provided 50% of the order.

The food was very good but it feels very cramped. The tables are so close together. The staff are friendly. There was a guy behind the counter who just came a cross as a bit grumpy (he was heating up the food).

It's much better than I expected and more than an ice cream shop. The food was good and a lot of choice. It's just a little noisy. It has now been refurbished, though the space for takeout customers has much reduced and often you have to que outside.

Stopped for dessert. Honestly, the crepes and the ice cream sundaes were some of the best we have ever had! Lovely service. If you are in Belfast, don't miss this place!

Went to cafe mauds for Sunday breakfast. The food service and atmosphere were very good.

We popped in here on a wet rainy Thursday night and there was a fabulous atmosphere. The deli ended at 6 so we just got coffeee scone and which were all delicious. My son adored his chocolate sundae and the staff were extremely helpful when I had a specific request. Will certainly be back!
