Maison Cuisine in New Forest

Recently been advised to lay off the caffeine and have, in consequence, been drinking some pretty awful drinks. However, this place was a complete revelation. Their decaf americano was far and away the best coffee that I have drunk in weeks. Bags of flavour, deep colour and generally well presented. I cannot speak for their other coffees, but I imagine they were pretty good too, judging by the number of customers present. A good range of cakes and pastries were well displayed in this café, which also stocks a range of deli-type produce.

We found this lovely cafe by accident and were thrilled! The food is all home made and delicious and the staff really friendly and extremely kind when my husband fainted they were so considerate and sensitive. So I would recommend them on all counts!!!

Sadly our visit left us unhappy. Ordered bacon baguette and drinks. The waitress was very polite but brought us sandwiches instead. We sent them back, only for the waitress to return with them again, telling us this is what we were having!!! Sent them back again, firmly telling the polite waitress we were not accepting this. All good in the end, but should not have had an argument at all. It's was also very expensive, £22 for two bacon bagettes, a tea and a coffee. Won't be returning

Absolutely love this place, best coffee in Lymington. Great Staff, always up, and smiling…..great place for coffee and/or food, immaculate…..

I have to agree with 2 of the most recent reviews - this place fails to deliver. Not only was the quality of the food poor but the price was way too much for what it was. My wife had the granola/yoghurt bowl and there was virtually no granola in the bowl. It was simply yoghurt and a few bits of fruit. Very bad value. I had bacon and brie in a baguette. The baguette was overcooked in the oven as was the bacon (dry and tasteless). £8 for this was a rip-off. In fact, over £20 for both of us was just crazy considering how cheap their ingredients. Avoid this place - there must be far better in town.

Absolutely never disappoints! The most delicious food and first class service from lovely people - This is my favourite place to eat in lymington

Absolutely fabulous food & customer service! I have eaten at so many top notch five star restaurants & this compared to those restaurants & even surpassed! Delightful staff they made my day!! Everyone was friendly, kind and the food was exceptional. I had a cappuccino, small quiche (spinach with feta) & a salad & was completely satisfied!

This is a great cafe with seating outside and inside. Excellent choice of salads and filled rolls. The staff are lovely and really made our visit memorable.

We had 2 overcooked baguettes with cheap ham and Emmental 2 black coffees £24.65. Very disappointed. Will not be back again

Great lunch. The quiche was excellent and obviously home made. Went back for breakfast which was also excellent. Highly recommend

Very expensive for very little food Only gave two stars as staff were friendly. when we order quiche with salad we expect salad.. not a few leaves with half a cherry tomato

Great coffee. Chris the owner is very friendly and remembered us from our visit on holiday last year.

The first place we go to when visit Lymington for the day , excellent service and choice with seats inside and out , very clean with toilet's. We normally go back for a light lunch as well after coffee in the morning.

We liked the looked of this place, with outside seating in a sunny courtyard. Inside was clean and inviting. I ordered two baguettes and two coffees. Service was quick. Coffee spot on, but the small baguettes were expensive and came on huge plates with no garnish. I had egg mayonnaise which was all creamy stuff, hardly any egg and it literally ran out of the bread. I wouldn’t return as I don’t mind paying higher prices but I do t like being robbed.

A lovely cafe in a small sunny courtyard.we sat for a couple of hours and had coffee and toasted sandwiches. Great friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Very friendly greeting and the place was beautifully clean. I ordered a cheese and bacon baguette with a coffee and my wife ordered the vegetable soup. Despite the cafe being busy, it was market day, we were served very quickly. The baguette was delicious and my wife loved the beautifully thick vegetable soup which was served with fresh bread. The coffee was perfect. We shall certainly visit again.

I visited this cafe after a long walk around the salt mashes area of lymington with my girlfriend. It looked like a nice place so went in and ordered two sandwiches, I was surprised by the price but thought the place looked good so the food must be good. Ordered an egg mayonaise sandwich and a tuna mayanaise sandwich. Service was quick as the place was nearly empty. When the food arrived I was very dissapointed, served on a large plate and looked like a simple sandwich, I thought maybe soemthing was missing like some salad garnish and some crisps considering the price paid and asked the waitress, she looked embarressed and simply said no it doesn't come with that. I took a bite of the tuna mayanaise sandwich and instantly felt repulsed, as we had shared half of each sandwich I opened both up and could see what the problem was, a sea of mayoniase with just a small amount of tuna and equally a small amount in the other sandwich of egg. It was like someone had poured a few table spoons of mayanaise in each sandwich and sprinkled a small amount of tuna or egg into them. The manager was around so I told him what I thought of the sandwich, he looked very annoyed, perhaps he had spent too much time watching re runs of falty towers, at no time was he apologetic in any way, he did state he would make me something else but by then I had no confidence in what they might make and just felt very ripped off. It seemed to me that perhaps this was a cost cutting exercise, fill the sandwiches with dripping mayo and skimp on the main ingredeiants was the order of the day. I wanted to say alot more but waited as my girlfriend who was very hungry ate more of hers by ascrapping some of the muck off. When I cooled down I took my plate to the manager and asked for a refund, he said well you have ate half of it, clearly I had only had one bite which I stated and then just stood there with an awkward silence while I waited for his response. Obviously customer service is not one of his skills I could almost see the cogs of his mind working and decideing whether to pee me off even more or comply with my request. After a long minute he gave me my money back for the one sandwich, no apology or anything. My girlfriend a day later is still feeling sick from all the mayo. Its a shame a nice place can serve utter rubbish like this, it isnt rocket science to make these types of sandwiches. I believe it was and is deliberate as a cost cutting measure hence im so disgusted with the place and the managers attitude. Avoid !

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. The best BLT have ever had. Others in party had Caesar salads and sausage rolls which were also tasty. Actually purchased some sausage rolls and tomato chutney to go as was so delicious. Would highly recommend this cafe for lunch.

I popped in for a quick drink whilst waiting for a friend. I had an iced coffee but was a little disappointed. There was only a small amount of ice meaning it wasn’t very cold and came with warm foam on the top. However the cafe itself was lovely. I sat outside in the shade but it was inviting and clean. Service was quick.

Brilliant new cafe BUT spoilt by lady using it as an office for a computer business meeting who had a very loud voice. Quite openly telling her colleagues this was her new office. Difficult for the cafe to police , but worth a try Sadly we will not risk going back for a while

Always visit this café for coffee first and then go back for lunch when we visit Lymington , same excellent service and food, especially ham sandwiches and the sausage rolls and flans are very good as well. Nice place to sit and relax just off the high street, very clean.

Welcoming staff who are really attentive, atmosphere is really nice and could spend hours sitting there. I have been with friends and on solo visits. Coffee is very good and will be my new daily coffee place.

Really impressed with this place, we had Caesar salads for lunch, but the cakes looked absolutely delicious and the menu was varied. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

We had heard good reviews of this lovely delicatessen café which certainly did not disappoint. We ordered carrot and coriander soup which came with optional butter, and sourdough and light rye bread - both delicious. The cappuccino coffee was the right blend and temperature for...

When we arrive in Lymington our first port of call is always Maison for coffee and then we go back for a snack later in the day, seating inside and outside. Very clean , good service and choices. It is tucked away off the high...

Really nice secluded cafe tucked away behind the Main Street in a square. With outdoor and indoor seating. A great selection of cake, sandwiches, quiches etc that could be warmed. Everything seemed fresh. A single disabled toilet, clean, ground floor; although next to deli counter....

Stumbled upon this little gem today - excellent food, really friendly staff, very clean and all covid measures adhered too. My gluten free sandwich was delicious which doesn’t often happen! The deli produce looks really good too. Very happy customers and we’ll make a point...

Such a lovey place with friendly staff and delicious food. The spinach and feta quiche was amazing. Great spot for breakfast, lunch and coffees

Tea and a tuna baguette never tasted so good! The quiche melts in your mouth. When the sun is out this little courtyard really captures the sun. Family run business who really care about their customers and products.

Went 2 days in a row to have coffee and cake. Staff were very efficient and friendly and the cakes were lovely. It was even sunny which helped as we sat outside. Really lovely independent coffee shop so much nicer than the big chains. Giv...

Tucked away in a pleasant courtyard, just off the hustle and bustle of the High Street, this is a great place for a very nice Cappuccino sitting in the sun and watching the world go by.

Good food nice friendly staff 😋 whats not to like . We enjoyed and cakes looked divine . Busy but still made us welcone

My absolute favourite spot for a cappuccino with friends. A delightful family-run business with an excellent deli counter, yummy olives, oils, cheeses and interesting speciality foods for sale. A great outdoor space too. Very welcoming to well behaved people and dogs.

Came across this lovely little place whilist looking for lunch! As soon as you open the door you get the feel of a cosy warm fresh establishment!:We had the home made brie quiche which was served hot and a salad! Portion of salad could have...

Been here a couple of times now. Staff are always friendly and helpful. The coffee is really good and the sandwiches are tasty with a good helping of filling. The cakes always look very tempting too but haven't tasted them.....yet! Nice atmosphere, on the small...

We had a coffee and tea with a toasted tea cake. Staff very pleasant. Lovely place. Nice layout. Also sold local jarred goods. It was a busy place, which is always a good sign. Lots of varieties to eat.

Pit stop after a walk around the market Coffee and a mince pie. I asked for an little cream’ glad I didn’t ask for a big dollop 😂 Friendly staff

My friend and I fancied a coffee and went to the department store in Lymington only to find it had closed. A helpful assistant recommended Maison and gave us directions. Well worth it - what a gorgeous place! I only wish we had chosen lunch here, the selection looked delicious. The coffee was lovely. Can't wait to return when we are next in the area. Very pleasant staff too.

The food is tasty, the coffee pretty good however, it’s expensive, the portion sizes small and unfortunately the customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Visited with some on Saturday when it was raining heavily only to be turned around and the door and told rudely that we couldn’t bring our pushchair in. Was pretty surprised as we visit most Saturdays with some friends after the kids finish ballet and bringing in the push chair hasn’t been a problem before. Won’t be coming again.

Had lunch there yesterday, with 5 of us, including a 4 year old. Just needed a snack lunch, with cold drinks. Food (quiches, salads) was very good. Quick service. Plenty of room to sit and talk. Situated off High Street, so no traffic noise, or fumes. Will go there again.

Nice cafe and deli. Home made cakes and a variety of home made food. Huge sausage rolls. Cakes were tasty although quite dry so had probably been there a few days. Sausage rolls were delicious. Friendly and efficient service. Reasonably priced. Would return, hoping to get a cake on day one, and recommend.

Visited close to closing time but was still welcomed, unlike some cafes, who stack the chairs whilst you are still eating, then tut and grumble. I asked if the were closing, they said soon but not yet. Within 5 minutes a lovely hot quiche arrived. It. was delicious. Maisons pride themselves on cooking all their food on the premises. Staff were very welcoming and friendly, an enjoyable afternoon out.

Lovely friendly staff, perfect coffee and tasty Cakes, all set in a great atmosphere, will definitely return

Had a fab lunch here today, in the Courtyard with the sun beaming down. We devoured a homemade Quiche which was divine! Light and fluffy with lots of ham and courgette! Delicious, love this place

Very good tea cake nice coffee. Friendly staff and great service .reasonable prices .good atmosphere

Second time eating lunch here. Just as I remember it. The quiche is outstanding and it is a pleasure to sit inside or outside, depending on the weather. It can get very crowded during the lunch hour, so plan accordingly.

this place is in an ideal tucked away location and is worth finding. it was acroos the roadfrom where we stayed went there to ask for a takeaway packed lunch for our homeward journey. Staff very friendly and nothing too much trouble. A wide choice of deli and home made foods/deserts/cakes at very reasonable prices. Quality of everything was high. In good weather nice outside seating for light meals

Great food and very friendly staff. Absolutely love the place and I will definitely come back. Very nice food and location.

Not sure if the place has been open very long as it was very badly organised wrong orders going to wrong tables etc. A bit overpriced too, I had the mackeral salad which although very tasty was priced at £9.50 for this I would expect more than one piece of mackeral considering how much a pack of it costs in a supermarket. Over all a little dissapointed and in the old school report adage 'could do better'.

Not an obvious find in the town but worth seeking it out. Looks to be family run and it shows - great coffee and cakes, personal friendly service - couldn't ask for more. Always a stop for us in the town - we so much prefer the independents to the chains !

Service very friendly and food great. Yogurt and berries were delicious and hot croissant filled with bacon and cheese certainly filled a hole!

Stopped for a quick bite and had a very yummy lunch. The flaky sausage roll was homemade with caramelised onion and the Brie, tomato and basil tart full of flavour, both delicious, and served with freshly home made salad. Well worth a stop for coffee or a quick snack.

Lovely coffee and tasty quiche with salad for lunch. Very friendly staff AND they employ mature people rather than the gormless youngsters that normally work in cafes. It so refreshing! Service of excellent. To be applauded. Forget the Nero’s and costas etc come here instead!!

Sat in the courtyard with great cuppa and delicious muffin having walked from Highcliffe. Lovely independent spot.

This is our regular, weekly coffee stop of choice. There are always delicious cakes to accompany the coffee. You can sit inside or, weather permitting, outside. It is a dog friendly establishment, water bowls are provided.

This café is tucked away behind the High Street in a narrow lane behind The Angel and Blue Pig. It is a little gem of a coffee house with good service and friendly atmosphere and the prices are reasonable. Well worth a visit.

One of my irritations is poor quality tea. It's easy to get it right, but so few do. Required a pot, cup and saucer, separate milk jug so that you can control the quantity and how much is added.

My fiancé and I were visiting Lymington for the first time and stumbled across this hidden gem. We had a pot of teapigs tea each and I had a slice of the lime and courgette cake which was absolutely delicious and my fiance had the Victoria sponge which was equally as delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful and there was a great atmosphere. We will absolutely be returning!

We love Maison Cuisine and always go for coffee and a quick bite to eat, usually on Saturday mornings. Very friendly family run cafe, exceptionally good small individual quiches and the sausage rolls are good too! They have a deli attached and you can find good food presents here. Had the cheddar and bacon croissant this morning, tasty! Thoroughly recommend...

This café is in a little courtyard off the main street and is well worth looking for. It is a family run cafe. We had a light lunch there, a mini quiche with salad for me and a bacon baguette for the bald one. Both simple but well done with friendly service and good coffee. They also do lovely organic Luscombe drinks and sell a few lines of good looking olive oils and Italian deli products. If the weather is good enough and they are not too busy you can eat outside in the courtyard.

How refreshing. Obviously created by enthusiastic and skilled people with a passion, not by a PR dept in a meeting room.

Another favourite. Great coffee. Fresh food. Family run. A good place to call into for light snacks. The big sausage rolls and little quiches are delicious - super deli style food as well as soup, sandwiches and salads

Always like calling in here on a Saturday morning when we are in lymington It’s nice to sit outside in the open air and watch the world go by. Good service and pleasant cafe.

Nice bacon cheese melt good value pleasant surrounding s . Staff helpful polite . Would go again if in area again

Stopped for a quick bite as we were passing through Lymington. It’s a friendly deli and cafe on a Little courtyard with a broad selection of quiches and sandwiches for lunch. Husband and I shared a brie, bacon and cranberry baguette. Made to order it was lovely. Prices bit more than I’d expected but otherwise a delight.

A friendly atmosphere in this bistro. Food is all mAde on the premises even the bread, lovely. The menu is good and that which they do they do very well. Worth seeking out.

What is it about mothers and cafe owners who allow small children to run all around the cafe screaming their heads off?

I’m a local & know well all the coffee shops in Lymington - this is easily the best. Great service, coffee & fresh croissants. Highly recommend

Popped in here for a quick coffee, and while ordering our drinks we spotted an inviting display on homemade cakes. Couldn't resist. Good friendly service. Perfect place to take the weight off your feet. All good.

Visited today with my daughter after a cold and breezy walk round Lymington.

Lovely tucked away cafe where we enjoyed having a selection of teas and coffees and wonderful soups of the day (Partner was very happy to be able to get a matcha tea latte). Wonderful service!

If you are a lover of good food made with quality ingredients this is for you , this was our first visit to lymington and by pure chance we came across this little gem .i ordered the soup of the day and I was not disappointed delicious it came so nicely presented with a lovely fresh walnut bread roll. It was so good I felt I had to complement The chef who it turned out to be the owner I asked if they sold the walnut bread rolls in the shop unfortunately not . But if I could back in half they would be taking the next batch out of the oven and he kindly said i could buy some of it Now how's that for service if you are ever in the area I would recommend you try Maison Cuisine you won't be disappointed

bought 2 baguettes and 2 coffees for £17. Add cuisine to a name it seems to add 50% to a price. The baguettes were over baked making them dry and crumbly, they weren't well filled either. The coffees we ordered were warm at best and although a flat white were 50% milk foam. staff seemed to wander without attention to customers and the final insult were hard wooden chairs and a wobbly table. DEFINITELY avoid, unless you lack taste buds, have iron teeth and a bottomless wallet.

Came for lunch and although expensive, food was great. Paid cash, even though the person taking the order, for 2 people though it was a card purchase

We had lunch for me and three children comprising two sausage roles one mini quiche a soft drink and two bottles of water and some olives. I was slightly surprised it came to well over £30 but it was delicious and the plates were all completely emptied which is always good with kids! Delicious cakes and good coffee. Nice atmosphere as well. We really liked it and felt it was worth it and would go back.

Great Service/Staff. Ordered Diet Coke and Chocolate Muffin. The muffin very delicious and it was almost instant service when ordered....

Hemos estado viniendo a Maison Cocina desde que abrió. En el principio era excelente, con buenas porciones y un servicio amable, así que uno miraba a la lentitud de la entrega.

Metimos en por primera vez, tomamos té y una enorme porción de su café y tarta de nuez, todo era bonito, el personal es agradable, incluso puedes comprar aceites de oliva fresca sólo comprar una botella poco allí también venden otros productos de comida! Además de comidas y pasteles. Sin duda regresaría de nuevo y pronto!

Tucked away in Angel Courtyard, a stones throw from the High Street is this charming little coffee shop. Run by Christian and his parents; Ken and Christine the family welcome you receive is unbeatable. They will do their upmost to accommodate you; from colouring sets for our daughter to warmed milk for our son. Christian's homemade food is stunning; his quiches are sumptuous, the sausage rolls dangerously moorish and his creative soups are stunning! I can be found most Tuesday mornings indulging in a freshly made Almond croissant and a pot of earl grey tea, whilst sitting in the sunshine watching the world trickle past. With plenty of outside seating, this little gem is ideal for families with young children and or dogs.

Had a late lunch here. Staff and owners were very friendly, very accommodating with our baby boy. Baguette and soup were very tasty and the food was good value for money. A lovely cafe with great food!

Lovely friendly staff, clean, good location to meet up with friends and catch up. You can sit outside even if a bit cold as they have heaters.

One day all customer service will be this way. Exemplary help from the front of house and top coffee and food. Lovely hot soup and crusty bread and quiet courtyard tables. Great. Thank you.

Located in the Angel courtyard it's easy to miss this little gem for those that stick to the high street. The courtyard is accessed by a small path right by the side of the Angel and Blue pig pub/restaurant. It is quite small inside but well laid out and comfortable. There is also an extensive outside seating area when the weather is good. Stylish decoration with quality fixture and fittings you can tell the owners care. The same attention to detail is carried though to the drinks and food. On display is a selection of home made quiches and other items, all looking delicious. We stopped in for a drink and a lite bite, coffee was great, good selection of teas on offer as well. The cakes where absolutely fantastic, raspberry and chocolate brownie was the best I've tasted. Artisan is a little over used by marketeers. But this place encapsulates what I want to find in such an establishment. Owners who care, locally selected touches, superb homemade from scratch food. If you want something special then it's worth seeking out this place, we will return.

There are a fair few places to get breakfast and coffee in Lymington, and Manson Cuisine is top of the pile for me. Very good coffee, loaded bacon baguette with lashings of brown sauce and friendly service from a worthy family-run business.

Friendly service, delicious savouries and snacks, great deli ingredients to take away. A little respite in a busy life.

It was a pleasure to visit this café for lunch. The staff were lovely and all the food was not only homemade but really good! Even the coffee was delicious. It is rare nowadays to find somewhere that makes it's own food which tastes good and is reasonably priced.

One of the best coffee cakes I've had in ages- light fluffy tasty generous and perfectly complemented by hot fresh coffee. We also enjoyed the warm sausage roll. A new Saturday morning favourite.

Found this cafe having gone into a little set of shops off the main high street when stopping off on the way to Bournemouth. It was clearly very popular and staff were friendly. My husband and I enjoyed a coffee each and shared a biscotti. There was a good selection of cheeses in the chiller cabinet and a nice selection of what looked like hand made pies with lots of other interesting deli items to peruse and purchase. Worth a visit.

We visit here for coffee vitually every Saturday, Always friendly and lovely coffee and snacks. Pleasant staff and good atmosphere

From home made soups and quiche to a wonderful selection on cold meats, olives and oils. An inspiration for Christmas ideas for foodies with bespoke hampers on offer.

I stopped by for a coffee and had a nice espresso. The coffee shop and deli is tucked away in a court yard just off the high street in Lymington. As well as coffee there is cake, sandwiches and light meals. There is also a good deli counter and the staff are friendly and polite. Well worth a visit.

This is a lovely restaurant in a quiet courtyard just off the main High Street. The staff are friendly and the food is lovely and healthy. My partner is not so good at the healthy side so when he asked for white bread I was pleased to hear they only had white baguette or granary bread. he chose the granary and enjoyed it. I had one of their individual quiches, which was delicious, served with a very tasty salad.

Just off the high street, worth the little detour.Lovely coffe and cake sitting in the sunshine with friendly service.Sandwiches made to order which is great, delicious.Lots of room , good to sit outside and watch the world go by , weather permitting !

Everyone was so welcoming and helpful - they clearly were about doing everything they could for the customer. Really lovely to see fresh food being prepared in the open kitchen in front of us Had simple cheese on toast for breakfast and tea - all served with a smile. Clearly they care about the business and the customer. Would definitely visit again :)

Visiting lymington where there are plenty of chains for coffee we discovered this little gem in a side street on the way out from the car park. The coffee was the best you would find, good selection of food, interesting deli items and the friendliest staff. My only regret is that I don't live there

Only had a cup of tea this time but will go back for a lunch one day. Good service, clean and relaxing

Today I dropped in to my favourite cafe in Lymington. Again amazing quiche and brie baguette. Fantastic selection of deli foods and speciality soft drinks. Highly recommend to all.

Just stopped by for a quick drink. Service good, pleasant place to sit on a lovely summers day. would go again
