Mapa Cafe in Tower Hamlets

i was on a trip with my fellow students from Norway and we lived at the Wombats hostel just nearby. the breakfast and the staff here was amazing and i will definitely be coming back the next time i visit London!

Very friendly, pleasant and attentive staff. Good range of food and drinks. Food hot and tasty and very quick service. Take away and eat in (extra seating downstairs). I will certainly be heading back there soon.

I have been there for breakfast and lunch time with friends and family, always excellent quality! Amazing.

I go into London a lot for street photography. I often start my day here. Friendly place, food is basic but good and great value.

Paid this 1950s American movie-themed cafe a visit before an exam. Very friendly, attentive staff, fast service and the food was great. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Great specials like meatballs and sweet potatoes. Breakfasts also great. Specials different every day

It’s been several times since I come in this place. I find quite interesting all the paintings and pictures along the walls, it gives a sober retró athmosphere. The staff is very friendly and nice, once you make your order they will serve it to you directly to table. Prices look very competitive. A classic breakfast, which I definitely suggest for starters, is only 6£. Not bad considering we are just a bit away from tower hill. Also recommended the ‘full English breakfast’ (attached in the picture below).

Very good traditional cafe. Very friendly staff. Great food, particularly lunchtime specials. Interesting decor. Now there are lots of hotels and hostels opening in this area and this would be a great place to experience a real traditional English breakfast. Sausages really good. Popular with builders from the many sites in the area and office workers = a real endorsement.

I ate the kebab which was yummy and affordable! It was after 24 hours of flying and transfers. This place is very close to Wombat’s hostel and a tiny/cheap deli so the convenience is really good!

Not good Was enjoying my omelette then when I eating I noticed a black hair. Made me sick. Complained and did not have to pay for my breakfast but left a bad taste in the mouth and still feeling sick. Since then I was sick twice, will not be going there again.

I don't know how they are for breakfast, but they never let me down on quality or quantity for lunch. Salads and sandwiches always good value for money, and while there isn't anything especially "inspired", they are reliable and satisfying. My office mates and I come here often (at least once a week) and they are always warm and friendly no matter how busy.

If you are staying on Dock Street, or close then this is a very good place to eat. This is a very nice little place for breakfast. Great range on their menu. I had the veg breakfast and it was very good. Not very expensive.

Excellent food, and excellent price for the amount of food that comes in the plate. Lovely attention too. Highly recommended place

I tried here a couple of years ago and it was not good. As I work nearby I tried again. I wanted a full English breakfast. It's all there, minus the black pudding, but it's not well cooked. The bacon was greasy and the toast was not hot. Best avoided.
