Possibly the worst breakfast ever. £17 and had to ask for toast, for a cafe, that is appalling. The fried egg was hard, like a squashed hard boiled egg, look at the black pudding, a rich tea biscuit is thicker, the beans were dry and lukewarm. The sausage was barely cooked and lukewarm. An absolute shocker.

We ordered: vegetarian English breakfast, was good salmon and scrambled egg, was ok and fish & chips which was very bad and not cooked from inside the service is terrible

This place is not what it was…. Overcharged for my order…. Queried it and was told that was correct… she was so pushy I don’t get a chance to check…. Well that made £9.90 for 2 cuppachinos, sever refused to provide a receipt.

Bon emplacement mais nourriture pas à notre goût (steak durs, coquille dans oeuf au plat...), idem pour la table voisine (soupe...). ils vous servent à table mais pas de couverts, pas de serviettes... à vous de vous déplacer. C'est dommage.

I’ve eaten breakfast here 3 times now and won’t go again. Staff are great, breakfast items are average. Breakfast bap today, bacon fat not crispy just fatty and couldn’t bite through the sausage without removing the skin off the sausages. It also includes a handful of cold grated cheese which is bizarre on an English breakfast bap.

My grandson had the Borough burger which cost £15 with chips . For this price it was not a good quality burger , looked like a standard frozen burger, which is not worth the money. Also for a cafe a 10% service charge is not good ,although they did refund it when I questioned it. I have used this place in the past and never had any issues but it seems to have changed

Old school "greasy spoon" style british cafe serving traditional cafe food. Had the full English with which was OK overall but the thinnest sliver of black pudding I've ever seen. Sausage was good. My wife had scrambled eggs and smoked salmon but the eggs were pretty overcooked. The tea was as weak as it gets, with milk already in (a pet peeve, but standard for an old school caff I suppose). Overall, I think it's overpriced for what it is and relying on where it is for tourist trade, so don't have to try too hard. Bit more effort and it could be so much better.

Used to love this place, specifically the bacon, egg and mushroom bubble in a bap for £6.50. Went today, totally different with smaller portions for way higher cost. Didn’t stay, such a disappointment.

I stopped in here on my lunch break after a very wet morning at work and the very lovely Laura was quick to serve me. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced, not only this she made sure I got the warmest seat in the house, underneath the patio heater. Laura even took the time to chat with me before my food arrived, which wasn’t long. This place is a real gem and Laura is an absolute asset to the place. I will be back next time I’m working here!

We had a extremely disappointing experience at this spot. Unlike other places with long queues, there were still empty tables and we could have a seat right away. We all ordered Borough Burgers. After long waiting, given the number of chefs in the kitchen, the Burgers we received was a huge let down. The bread was cold and dry (not the brioche bun) and the beef patty was tasteless and not hot. The cheddar cheese was unmelted, very cold and carelessly THROWN. There was 1 tiny ridiculous piece of tomato in the center, no onions and no salad in 2 burgers out of 4 at our table. The table and ketchup squeezer was very dirty. The service was far from welcoming. No reason to return.

Got fish and chips (£17.50), and were delicious, super abundant and fresh. One of the bests in town so far, having tried the ones from the Ned (+£25), Maria’s version has nothing to envy them. It has tables to sit and all the comfort you can get from a market food. I recommend 👌🏽

I recently had brunch at this place when I went exploring the burrough market and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The food, earning a solid 4 out of 5 rating, was absolutely delicious. What impressed me the most was the fact that they offered a vegetarian version of the English breakfast. As a vegetarian, it can often be challenging to find a place that caters to my dietary preferences, but this place did not disappoint. The vegetarian English breakfast was a perfect combination of flavors and textures, and I was particularly impressed with the hash browns. They were incredibly crisp and delicious, adding a delightful crunch to the meal. The staff, earning a 4 out of 5 rating, were friendly and attentive. They were knowledgeable about the menu and made sure to accommodate any special requests. Their warm and welcoming demeanor added to the overall positive dining experience. Cleanliness was another aspect that impressed me, with the restaurant earning a 4 out of 5 rating. The tables were clean, and the dining area was well-maintained. However, the only downside was the ambience, which was a bit crowded. It can get quite busy during peak hours, resulting in a slightly noisy and bustling atmosphere. If you prefer a more relaxed and quiet dining experience, it might be best to visit during off-peak hours. In terms of value for money, this breakfast place definitely delivers. With reasonable prices and generous portion sizes, you'll leave feeling satisfied without breaking the bank. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a delicious and enjoyable breakfast experience, especially if you're a vegetarian looking for a tasty twist on the classic English breakfast.

Wir waren zu dritt vor Ort, meine beiden Kinder und ich, haben bestellt, ich habe nicht auf den Betrag geachtet, Beziehungsweise dachte ich, das wird schon stimmen mit Getränken … der dann direkt von der Kreditkarte abgezogen wurde, wir haben vier(!) Menüs bekommen, die ich aber auf keinen Fall bestellt habe, Sondern lediglich drei. Das vierte wurde nicht zurückgenommen, wir hatten schon am Tisch überlegt, es zu verschenken, natürlich wurde es auch berechnet, ich hatte auch das Gefühl, dass sie Sich über uns amüsiert haben, und die Bedienung am Tisch war unverschämt, dass das nicht zu ändern sei. Wir hätten gerne die zusätzliche riesige Portion auch noch gegessen, aber das Essen war nicht wirklich lecker , fettige halbgare Pommes frites, , Hamburger waren fettig, Und mein großer Sohn, der immer alles brav aufisst, konnte es nur halb essen und mein Fisch war eine Katastrophe, Irgendwie eine kalte, alte fettige Kruste, und der Fisch da drin sehr sehr klein, sehr, sehr schade so viel Geld ausgegeben zu haben am falschen Stand, weil der gesamte Markt ist so so schön .. Da findet sich sicher ein viel, viel besseres Essen, mit netterem Personal, Dass die Touristen mich auch noch finanziell ausnutzt There were three of us there, my two children and I, we ordered, I didn't pay attention to the amount, or rather I thought it would be okay with drinks... which was then deducted directly from the credit card, we have four (!) Received menus, which I definitely didn't order, but only three. The fourth one wasn't taken back, we had already thought about giving it away at the table, of course it was also charged, I also had the feeling that they were having fun with us, and the service at the table was rude about not changing that be. We would have liked to eat the additional huge portion, but the food wasn't really tasty, greasy, half-cooked French fries, hamburgers were greasy, and my older son, who always eats everything well, could only eat half of it and my fish was one Catastrophe, somehow a cold, old greasy crust, and the fish in there is very, very small, it's a great shame to have spent so much money on the wrong stall, because the entire market is so, so beautiful.. There's definitely a lot there, much better food, with nicer staff, that the tourists also took advantage of me financially

unfortunately, I can’t say I will ever come again or recommend this to anyone. I ordered at 2 PM and it took over 30 minutes for my food to come. They must have forgotten the order or something, I watched people who ordered after me get their food. quite disappointed in the fish. It was a rather large piece however, there was simply very little flavor. Also, cutting into the middle I found gooey bits, a bit unsettling. also, they supply two small packets of tartar sauce. They don’t even make their own? place was fine and the staff was nice but that’s not why you go to a restaurant.

I don't know why I got this deformed Fish and Chips when I visited there last week. I had the impression that some in the Kitchen were making fun of me with this. All the other white people had a normal looking long Fish and Chips. Obviously they do not care touristic customers, as they come only one time. I didn't complain about this, as I didn't want to waste energies and times. Go there with white people, if you want to get treated normally.

Ordered The English and scrambled eggs on toast with salmon, 2 latte's for £35! Seemed to be a lot of confusion over which table ordered what, when it came I was offered The Market special which was wrong, I asked if it was The English and was told no as The English comes with black pudding, they took it away and returned with the same plate of food with a slice of black pudding added, judging by others pictured you sometimes get one sausage or two, I got one which was a shame as it was the only thing on the plate which tasted nice, the mushrooms were tinned, the bacon was hard and overdone the egg looked nice but was hard on the bottom the bubble was boiled potato with a bit of broccoli (I think) mashed into it, just very poor, my wife's scrambled egg definitely looked microwaved and pale with a slither of salmon, the coffees were ok, no way worth £35, maybe we came on a bad day, apparently there are menus about but we didn't see any and ordered off the board with no prices.

We took the tube all the way from Kensington just to try their full English Breakfast (based on a recommendation). Based on high expectations, we were disappointed. The sausage was very good, that was the best part. The egg was a bit over cooked, the bacon was a bit too fatty, and the grilled tomato was mushy. The atmosphere is nice, being in the market. The service was fast. We’d eat here again, and try something different, but we wouldn’t make a special trip.

It all tasted absolutely great. See the photo and judge for yourself. I know!! Lol I use ketchup, not brown sauce 😂. Crime!!!! Lovely service and located right inside the Borough market.

Just a horrendous dining experience in every possible way! Granted this is basically diner food but somehow they missed on every mark. The only thing we found enjoyable was the clown show that took place while we waited 25 mins for a BLT, soup and their version of a panini. People who arrived 15-20 mins after us were served before we were as they clearly lost our order….and I asked about our food twice! It all made sense as there are about 8-10 tables at this tiny café and we literally watched 6-7 times as they tried to figure-out what food went to which table, often returning to the kitchen counter clueless and asking for help. When our food finally arrived it was awful; one piece of ham and greasy melted cheese on a dry roll. Try ANY place else at Borough Market, trust me!

This establishment has an interesting history and story behind it. However, there were some areas for improvement during our recent visit. On a positive note, the location in Borough market is convenient, and the staff was generally friendly, although at times they appeared a bit confused. During our Saturday breakfast, we ordered the market special, a cappuccino, and some toast on the side. Unfortunately, our coffee order was mixed up and we received a different order. However, we appreciated that when we brought this to the staff's attention, they promptly corrected the mistake. Additionally, our food was significantly delayed, and our order was mixed up and forgotten several times. We also did not receive the toast that we had paid extra for, and the breakfast itself was only average. The bubble and squeak was particularly dry, and the bacon was not cooked through. Overall, I believe that this establishment could significantly improve by focusing on enhancing the table service. While the staff was generally friendly, they appeared a bit confused and disorganized, which led to several mistakes in our order. With better table service, I think the overall experience would be greatly improved.

Authentic British cafe experience in the heart of Borough Market! All the classics are there and portions are extremely generous for the price paid. My gammon with eggs and chips was as real as it gets and I’ll eat this again there anytime!

Suggest running away from this cafe. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND HEALTH. Also, I want to add my personal experience to the previous review from Andrii. My boyfriend and I went to this cafe after our Sunday run. We had heard a lot about Maria Cafe, so we decided to order English breakfast there. About our experience: 1 The cafe wasn't clean enough, but because of the location and tourist experience, we weren't too picky. 2 The service wasn't good at all. The waitress forgot to give me a fork and knife, and we saw tables with dirty plates. 3 The English breakfast wasn't tasty. Something similar to potato cake was cold and unpleasant. The sausage was burned, and the rest of the ingredients were just average and not tasty. So I didn't finish my meal. After that experience: After this meal, we went to the hotel to rest, and hour after hour, we started feeling that something was wrong. I was lucky because I didn't finish my meal, so I felt bad but not as much as my boyfriend. He had a fever, vomited, and had all the symptoms of food poisoning. Our trip was ruined, and our stomachs stopped. We tried to visit the cafe to talk with the manager, but for the next two days, Maria's Cafe was closed. I truly believe that we were poisoned at Maria's Cafe. I don't have medical expertise, but I have proof that we were there and ordered there. My only motivation is to share my experience with other tourists and tell them to be careful. Because we paid too much for this English breakfast, and I'm not talking about money.

GOT FOOD POISON HERE. AVOID THIS PLACE. I had a meal on Sunday, March 5th at around 11:45am with my girlfriend, right around the time when they stopped serving the English breakfast. We ordered 2 English breakfasts together with typical tea with milk. And guess what? Around 1.5 hours after eating, I felt really sick and heavy. I threw up every bite of this breakfast and had a fever for around 12 hours in the hotel. After that, I couldn't eat anything for around 2 days in a row. This place just ruined my vacation and plans that my girlfriend and I had in London. We lived nearby and went there on Tuesday to complain in person since we had a flight in the second half of Tuesday, the 7th. However, they were closed. We asked a few places in Borough Market for the reason, but everyone said it was strange, and the place should be open. Either the staff also got sick, or it was just a coincidence. Anyway, I do not recommend this place at all. As proof, I am attaching photos.

Myself and my Mum was in town as we was visiting The Shard. We saw Maria's Market Cafe and stop to have a latte and a breakfast. OMG it was beautiful. Loved every mouthful. Very friendly staff. Very welcoming. Nice little cafe. Thank you

I do not know what the policy is in this store, which prohibits bringing any outside drinks, even if they are soft drinks, and they are not available in the store at all. It is a disrespectful policy

Hunting round for somewhere to eat, we came across this place and as it had a couple of empty tables we decided to give it a go. And we're glad we did. Another place we'd like to give half stars for
