Cafe Maya in Islington

Nous avons été là car c'était proche de notre logement et les avis étaient plutôt positifs. Nous sommes ravis d'avoir trouvé cet endroit. Nous avons été super bien accueillis, le service était impeccable, la nourriture était très bonne à un prix très correct à Londres. il y a un large panel de choix sur la carte, les smoothies étaient excellents. Bref un endroit où s'arrêter pour bien commencer la journée ☺️

Beautiful restaurant, lovely staff, amazing freshly squeezed lemonade. 10/10

Excelente desayuno. Gran servicio. Muy buen café. Fabuloso aguacate aplastado y tocino. Comer afuera en un día hermoso

Este era una joya de un lugar justo al final de la carretera de nuestro hotel. Visitamos dos veces en nuestro viaje a Londres. El personal era muy amable e hizo todo lo posible para sentar a todos los que entraron, moviendo mesas para acomodar los tamaños de las fiestas. El menú era amplio y los desayunos eran muy buenos. Para Londres pensamos que la comida era un precio decente y sin duda recomendaría.

Great… delicious, quiet, very cute and super price!!! Congratulations!

Great food, great prices, fast and friendly service.

Ultra efficient, very good, plentiful. Perfect

Muy afortunado de tener este increíble café al lado de donde estábamos alojados. No pude resistir el desayuno allí cada mañana de nuestras vacaciones. Absolutamente caballero que nos sirve todos los días y la comida era deliciosa. Gracias por cuidarnos tan bien.

Gran pequeño café con buena comida a excelente relación calidad-precio. Personal muy ocupado pero amable y atento que no te tiene esperando. Lo recomendaría!

Very good cafe restaurant I recommend

A good place to start the day with a full English breakfast.

We came to discover the English Breakfast at Cafe Maya with friends and we were not disappointed. A wide choice of different formulas and dishes. The drinks were also very good although we regret that the banana milkshake did not contain real fruit.

Large range of choices Good taste

Great fresh food. Really good service pleasant and sat outside enjoying the sun

Great service and delicious food. Thank you!

Lovely, well-tended cafe. Excellent breakfast with very reasonable prices, and friendly family-run service. Great spot!

Excellent coffee! Very tasty omelette 👌🏾

Lovely cafe . Great service and fantastic food. Super value 👌

I eat here frequently, sometimes alone, sometimes with a friend. The food is great, and the service is wonderful. The staff are so friendly and helpful. As a result the cafe is often full, and often noisy. Worth it though.

First time here and just wow! We had the Avocado Toast and it was amazing! I also recommend the fresh orange juice.

Popped over quickly from the bar opposite the cafe before my shift to grab an iced coffee and I’m glad I did! I considered a few cafes on my way in but decided to go closer to work - the drink is exactly what I wanted and they were all super friendly from the moment I stepped inside. Not crazy expensive either, which I reckon any other place would’ve been. Will defo become a regular here while I’m working

Great friendly little cafe and the owner/server was very hospitable. Great quality food, generous portions and service was very quick also. Very reasonably priced. Two large breakfasts, Toast and a tea each coming in at £30.

Super value, nice customer service and friendly atmosphere

One of the best places for breakfast I’ve been, a hidden gem in London tbh. Want to go back again on my next trip. Would 100% recommend

Justo lo que estábamos buscando después de probar algunas opciones de brunch caro, demasiado promocionado en Londres. Las opciones completas en inglés son infinitas y las opciones de estilo mediterráneo eran algo un poco diferente. La comida se sirvió rápidamente y porciones decentes. El café era bueno también. Definitivamente volvería si nos quedamos más tiempo.

Requested a well done egg sandwich and when i left with my order i opened the carefully wrapped sandwich which contained a very runny egg which was totally not what I wanted. Won't be visiting this cafe again since can't get a simple order correct. Had to throw the sandwich which wasn't able to eat.

It's a nice cafe! Everything is very tasty and hearty, I liked it.

We enjoyed this restaurant for breakfast. Good food, lots of options, and they were very accommodating for our family with kids.

Breakfast was amazing, staff were nice and smoothie was good. Seating is limited so best to be there earlier.

Incredible food and very kind staff!

Fabulous café - had good reviews so we checked it out for breakfast on a weekend trip to London and it was so good we came back the next day. We were warmly greeted on arrival both days, the food and ambience were perfect, service was excellent. Great selection of options for breakfast (lunch too) and everything was delicious. It was busy both days, but they found us a table and delivered a great experience - we shall definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Great food, I ordered for take out and it was cooked in less than 5 minutes and tasted fantastic, would highly reccomend one the wrap choices

We had a fantastic English breakfast today here. The place was almost full, but the owners managed to make some room for us. Cozy atmosphere and great food.

Typical English bar perfect for having a full English breakfast. Fast and super friendly service. Correct quality. Super delicious juices

A quality classic British cafe serving a solid all day breakfast and other regular cafe items. Much better than the big chain coffee shops, friendly and helpful staff.

Great food and friendly staff and service a must do.

I've been coming here for years.. the owner always remembers me.

Great breakfast place although limited seating inside as the place is quite small. That said the food was very good and well priced

Great service, lovely breakfast - vast menu… amazing coffee!

Very good breakfast. Delicious smoothie. Very friendly service.

The best café in the Farringdon area.

Excellent place and service! We stayed for almost a week and ate there every day!

We came with my girlfriend 2 mornings in a row. We enjoyed the food and the friendliness of the staff. The prices are still reasonable. We'll be back when we visit with pleasure. Don't change.

A lovely surprise. The breakfast was hearty and good quality , including the tasty sausage. For London, fairly priced. A pleasing start to the day! The whole time I was seated, there were consistently differing groups of people, who appeared more local than tourist, which I always feel is a good indication. The building is light with lots of windows which is pleasant, though perhaps a bit warm if you get in the sun. It had a relaxed, cafe feel. The very handsome grey-bearded manager was welcoming, friendly and efficient . The other staff seemed similar. It's good to see some older staff employed also, though the older lady's poor English made her present abrupt and unwelcoming, so for her sake it would be good for the cafe to support her English learning. I was very pleased with my meal and visit and will definitely be returning. If youre Exmouth market way, I'd recommend !

Delicious food and great service!

Best English breakfast in town, making it a must try spot for breakfast lovers. The staff is really welcoming. Highly recommend!

Wow - gran desayuno. Muy típico desayuno británico completo - bien cocinado, servido rápidamente y agradables servidores. Es un 'café' tradicional en la esquina de la calle.

i came here two days on a row The experience of this place was impressive, the flavor, the attention, the portions of food, this is a gem!!!!

I had a disappointing experience at your cafe, which started out well but quickly soured over a simple request for tap water. While the food and coffee were good and the service for our initial order was prompt, the way our request for water was handled was concerning. After ordering breakfast and coffee, I asked for tap water nicely. The server acknowledged the request, but after serving our coffee, food, and cutlery, we still didn’t receive it. When I gently reminded him, he responded curtly, stating he was busy and that we’d need to wait if we want tap water unless we ordered still water. Though his attitude wasn’t ideal, I was understanding and waited patiently. However, even after nearly finishing our breakfast, no water arrived. I then asked another waitress, who kindly agreed to assist. Unfortunately, she informed the initial server, who seemed visibly irritated and allegedly told her “no tap water” within earshot of our table. This hostility left my friend and me uncomfortable, and we were concerned about escalating tension. Despite our polite requests, we never received the tap water, nor was the situation acknowledged by staff before we left. It felt like our request was deliberately ignored. I don’t mind if the restaurant has a policy against serving tap water. However, it would have been far better to be upfront about this rather than asking us to wait and handling our reminders with unnecessary hostility. The experience left us feeling unwelcome and uneasy, particularly as two Asian women, raising questions about whether our gender or nationality influenced the treatment we received. I hope this feedback helps address any issues and ensure better experiences for future patrons. Thank you for your attention.

Alojarse en Crowne Plaza y querían £ 25 por cabeza para el desayuno . . fue a Café Maya y pidió el inglés completo con extras . . mi señora . . granos en tostadas . . clase de comida valor ❤️👌

Found this cafe by chance. Wonderful breakfasts, one with olives and haloumi. Good coffee. Returned again the next day.

we had an amazing breakfast, probably will recommend

great portion, good servings yum!!

Nice cafe in Central London, does a lovely fry up as any good cafe should.friendly and clean.as a lover of black pudding and fried bread I had a set 1 breakfast. Very nice.

Lovely place had a great breakfast and the catered for all 7 of us ranging from 18 months upwards. Food was all freshly cooked tasty and good value. Staff were friendly and efficient. Great place 😃

This was the worst English breakfast I’ve ever had. The bacon wasn’t fresh. When we mentioned it, they insisted it was made daily. We had to make a considerable effort just to request a second serving. Apart from the sweet blonde lady, everyone else was rude and unfriendly. The manager was especially rude and sour-faced. When we asked the dark-haired woman a question, she scolded us and didn’t even bother to look at us. The ambiance is cozy and warm, like a café, but the management and their products are far from fresh. No one should work a job they don’t enjoy.

Este fue el peor desayuno inglés que he tenido. El tocino no estaba fresco. Cuando lo mencionamos, insistieron en que se hacía diariamente. Tuvimos que hacer un esfuerzo considerable solo para solicitar una segunda porción. Aparte de la dulce rubia, todos los demás eran groseros y antipáticos. El gerente fue especialmente grosero y amargo - cara. Cuando le hicimos una pregunta a la mujer de cabello oscuro, ella nos regañó y ni siquiera se molestó en mirarnos. El ambiente es acogedor y cálido, como una cafetería, pero la gestión y sus productos están lejos de ser frescos. Nadie debe trabajar en un trabajo que no disfruta.

Excellent cooked all day breakfast, quality sausage and bacon. Partner had ommelette, salad and chips. Staff lovely and good value for money.

Caminando hacia el área de Clerkenwell nos topamos con Café Maya. Tuvimos suerte de tener la última mesa disponible en ese momento y estoy tan contento de que lo hicimos! El zumo fresco era excelente, nuestro café con leche y capuchino muy bueno. Muy buena selección para el desayuno. Fui por el inglés completo menos huevo. Porción perfecta y volverá a Café Maya 100% cuando sea el siguiente en la zona

My husband and I have been going here for breakfast every Saturday for half a year. The atmosphere there is unique. Service is friendly helpful always smiling. As for the food itself, fresh, extremely tasty. You can feel that the food is prepared with love and dedication. The ingredients from which the food is prepared are selected with great care and at the highest level of quality.

Fantastic little cafe with fabulous food, excellent portions, delicious coffee and friendly staff. Saw lots of comments on here about cash only, not anymore, they accept cards now.

Always a nice welcome, tasty, well presented food. Thank you again 😊

Had a magnificent English breakfast and Mediterranean breakfast this morning. Service was impeccable and felt friendly vibes between the servers and the diners.

Full English in a proper cafe. Great to still find these going. Worth a visit.

Super brunch spot, super value too. Veggie options OK. Fresh orange juice a must, I like my tea on the builders end of spectrum (they leave the tea bag in the large cup, perfecto).

Very chill sit down place. They have halal chicken. The food is acceptable for the price you pay for it. It doesn’t blow you away but that’s okay because this is a cheap restaurant. Great service. Overall good spot, but I wouldn’t go here if you want a culinary experience. Last thing: fruit smoothies with no added sugar for 4 Pounds including sales tax is a great steal.

¡Qué lugar tan magnífico! Excelente comida, buen ambiente, servicio súper rápido, gran relación calidad-precio. Tuvimos un hermoso desayuno aquí antes de salir para el día. ¡Gracias!

My boyfriend and I stopped here before leaving London and enjoyed an amazing English breakfast and avocado toast and two cappuccinos. The owner is wonderful and kind. We enjoyed the atmosphere and it had the feeling of “home”

Delicious breakfast !! The portions were really generous, the quality and the price totally matched it was a good spot for breakfast. We had avocado toast with poached eggs and extra hash brown and halloumi, very yummy! The fresh juices were good too as well as the latte. Would definitely come back if I’m in town again!

Amazing breakfast, amazing staff. Highly recommended! Great food and just what was needed to start our Sunday. Enjoy!

Excellent cafe with friendly staff

We ate here twice. Nice English breakfast, friendly service, unremarkable, generic atmosphere. Sauce bottles and salt shakers were slightly sticky. Toast was inconsistent both in method of preparation and quantity.

Excellent cafe with friendly staff

Great small cafe. Excellent food. We had a full English breakfast with eggs florentune and poached eggs on avocado. All great. Cappuccino was especially good. Prices were cheaper than expected too. £45 for 4 cookes breakfasts, 2 cold drinks and 3 Cappuccinos. Highly recommended.

Lovely little cafe. GF and vegan options which was great. Friendly and helpful staff. Didn’t manage to take a photo of the food as I was too hungry but it was delicious!

Nice place for a delicious breakfast. The best cappuccino in the neighborhood... Highly recommended!

Nice place for breakfast in the city. We tried House breakfast and Mediterranean breakfast both were very good. The kids loved butter toast served hot - we ordered a second plate. Definitely recommended if you are in the area.

We found this little gem when we were looking for somewhere near our hotel to have breakfast. The food and coffee are excellent as is the service and the prices are very reasonable by London standards. We went back for three mornings in a row, and the food was great each time, just wish we’d found it earlier. I gave it five stars for atmosphere because it’s not pretending to be anything other than a great cafe.

Breakfast was outstanding.It is beautiful place to visit for breakfast.

Really friendly and helpful staff, very busy and the wait didn't feel long at all Food was incredible

Visiting from America and this place was the perfect spot for breakfast. We ate here twice on our three day visit to London because of how great the food was. If you’re looking for a tasty, fresh, and affordable bite to eat, stop here!

This cafe was just up the road from the Premier Hub and fancied a decent breakfast rather than what was offered at the hotel. Wasn't disappointed by our choice. The staff were really friendly, food was brought out in good time and was delicious. Would certainly come back if in the area.

Really lovely breakfast, very polite staff and everything was hot! A hidden gem

Great breakfast options... so much to choose from, including Mediterranean. Fantastic coffee and smoothies. Recommended

Breakfast option with many alternatives

Great food lovely breakfast & coffee

Had pancakes and maple syrup and bacon not sure if pancakes were home made looked like sainsbury brand but taste was okay, had a chocolate milkshake but tasted like coffee but was overall delicious also have some delicious cakes which I bought two was yummy

Charming corner location. Friendly, fast and attentive service both when taking orders, serving and even during breakfast, worrying about whether everything was okay. Delicious breakfast and the English Breakfast good and very abundant. For London, good value for money.

Came across this little gem over the weekend. The range of options are excellent, the staff are very accommodating, the food is delicious and the price is very reasonable. Highly recommended! Will definitely be returning next time I am in London 😊

Very large and delicious selection of food, from traditional English breakfasts to burgers, everything is there.

Great service, everything was spotless. Food very tasty.

Stayed at the Premier hub, and for a few pounds more for breakfast, this was a winner. Great staff also do meals all day. Highly recommended. ( Top of Farrington road).

Table for 2 ready for us very quickly with prompt service. Milkshake was lovely and cold, great on a hot day, no aircon inside so it was quite hot. Smashed avocado was okay. Passion fruit smoothie was great. Asked for water twice and never received any.

Typical English breakfast. Good service, good prices and very friendly people. We speak English na de na and they speak Spanish the same, but they do everything possible to assist you. Recommended site. They accept cash.

Petit café sympa qui propose une bonne carte pour le petit déjeuner à des tarifs 2 fois moins chers que ceux de notre hotel pas loin.Nous y sommes allées 2 matins de suite.

Lovely place. Spent a couple of hours here waiting for a meeting and the atmosphere, food and staff were wonderful. Will be back next time I'm in London.

Great quality breakfast and excellent service

A chance discovery. This little cafe offers traditional breakfast/brunch options with vegetarian and lighter options. The menu provides lots of choice and the food was freshly made and very good. It was inexpensive for the area. Recommended.

Lovely place. Spent a couple of hours here waiting for a meeting and the atmosphere, food and staff were wonderful. Will be back next time I'm in London.

Fast and friendly service. Very good option for breakfast with the typical English Breakfast or any of its many options (omelettes, eggs Benedict, toast, etc.). Very good coffee in all the variants they offer. Totally recommended if you are in the area!!!
