Max Cafe in Lambeth

Great food at great prices. I've been going there every Saturday lunchtime for years and will keep on going 👍👍

A real treasure that stands the test of time in a forever changing highstreet. Don't expect bottomless brunch or smashed avocado on sourdough! This no nonsense London caf provides great food at even greater prices. The owner Max is a real character who seems to know every customer by name. Make sure to try one of the many breakfasts on offer. More and more of these places are disappearing from the highstreet, get down and support the local community.

No complaints! Cheap food and it comes quickly. Generous portions - 3 egg omelette and basically a whole tin of beans and then 2 slices of toast, some smoked salmon, a WHOLE avocado and two fried eggs. Winning! Coffee was very weak but you come here for the food

One of the best breakfast in London and great service

It's basic, the coffee is pretty bad. The old guy could be friendlier Foods good.

Great value, awesome breakfast. Regularly come to max’s when visiting family in London, delicious breakfast and wonderful coffee. Roll out of there full to the brim for 7 pounds amazing.

I'm glad I chose the only full breakfast I'm going to have on my short trip at this place! The owner is incredibly friendly and the food (& tea) was spectacular. I'd be a regular if I lived in the area!

Very tastful breakfast, big portions, fair prices

Super tasty and affordable! Owner is very nice and friendly too :)

As a tourist, If you are around this neighborhood, I think Max Cafe is a great place to have breakfast before exploring the city. Great service and fair price!

Went there afew weeks ago with a friend who lives in America. They wanted an English breakfast with black pudding as they don't have that in America. The breakfast was hugh and you could change stuff that you didn't want. Service was quick and friendly.

lovely food with the legend max

Very well run cafe with excellent service. Impressed with the variation of options on the menu. Thank you Max! 10/10

Very nice and accommodating staff, the food is excellent and very fairly priced 100% recommend!

The old man in there was so rude & we waited for nearly an hour for our food & when my friend asked how long. The old man said Yr have 2 wait. & other people that came in after us got their food first so we left. It use 2 be nice there

David and Thomas were amazing. They were helpfull and happy and knowledgeable. I asked for a cocktail that would surprise me and they nailed it.

Very delicious food, excellent service😍

We ate here twice during our stay, and Max was without any hesitation our favorite place to eat! The food was delicious and we loved the environment.

Great cafe that has a good menu selection. Great for breakfast or lunch.

There is a good quality price relation. Typical English breakfast and very friendly staff.

I've had over 100 full English breakfasts, and this was top 3, easily. Great service, family-run joint, great atmosphere, delicious food, great value, excellent coffee.

Good and large portions, the gentleman who served us was very nice :) I recommend it for breakfast!

British gourmet breakfast at fair prices

A really lovely, good value and family run cafe. I couldn't recommend more highly

Muy serviciales. Teníamos un problema e intentaron ayudarnos

We went for breakfast, it was amazing. Super delicious food, very nice staff and really good service for a low price. Would definitely recommend!!

Great place to be! Everyone is really kind. Food is perfect, really tasty and fresh. In my opinion, if you are new to London, a must see is Max Cafe! They serve good old English breakfast

Um café da manhã bem britânico. Dependendo do que pedir, não precisa nem almoçar. Comi o feijão com tomate, ovos, linguiça e torradas. Tudo estava uma delícia e o dono do local é muito amigável. Gostamos tanto que tomamos café por lá todos os dias.

Best breakfast ever! Itis Not expensive! But it's very delicious!!! And so friendly! IT is a MUST in London!

They never said " no sorry set meals only" Or charge double because i deviated a little from their menu !! They gave me what i wanted instead. They put love into the presentation. The portions were very adequate. And when i asked for "toast" it was two slices like it always used to be in all cafes instead of the new greedy one slice cafes. Oh and the price was very reasonable. Take note cafe owners somebody out there is doing it better than you! I will drive miles to go here rather than come to your dictatorial one slice cafe.

First came here nearly 40 years ago. We used to collect bacon sandwiches on Saturday mornings when the staff canteen was closed. Haven't been back for over 10 years now and Max still remembered me. Food, as always is great value and of a good quality. Not many places remain unchanged for this long of period of time.

Always consistently serving good food in the community. Thank you

only been in London a few days but frankly one of the best meals I’ve had so far. Proper no fuss breakfast, owner Max is also top notch.

Perfect if you're looking for a typical British breakfast / brunch that is not overpriced 👍(affordable and good quality food be hard to find sometimes in London...) Great service and staff, really welcoming, nice atmosphere, I highly recommend!

Excellent cafe that is used by many locals plus builders and tourists. Food was tasty and hot . Chips beans cheese onion omelette was pretty big and all at a good price . Everywhere was nice and clean . We would visit again.

Max is great, friendly and welcoming.

Great traditional cafe, perfect when you've had a few too many the night before

Top tier scran at a great price. Simple as.

First time I've been there really friendly staff, proper butcher sausages, big portions. Just a really good old school greasy spoon. Ticked all the boxes. Alas these gems getting rare now. Also wasn't advertised got an extra egg and ran rasher off bacon. Top notch.

I loved the food not because it’s name after me but because the manager was very nice and cool 😎🥸😎😎😎😎

Purchased breakfast to eat. Liked it and the chips. Would go again if I'm ever near with some spare time & appetite.

Max is so depressing bit I guess everyone is used to him

We’ve had breakfast here twice when we were on vacation. Someone walking her dog recommended this place and she couldn’t have given us a better recommendation. The food was amazing and the staff was very kind and helpful. If you want a hearty meal to start your day, you should go to Max. 10/10

Brilliant proper cafe with great food and lovely staff. It’s a must and also they have Al Jazeera for some decent news. Proper poached eggs, all kinds of delicious fresh Ss designed all with lovely salad etc. it’s all great

This cafe has been here donkeys but Shortly after eating didn't feel great . Up to you.

I'm not from London, but the owner was very friendly and made me feel welcome 😊

As authentic as it can get! Thank you Max & staff!

Since most hotels don't offer breakfast in the area were we slept, went here three days to get breakfast. Best choice ever, nice people and very good very English breakfast. 9 sets with vegetarian options aswell or fries for breakfast. With i actually saw someone order

Great customer service. Food is good.

Best omelet in the town, and salad is fresh! The price Is very reasonable, too. I will recommend this place for brunch~

Amazing, the food is so good! And the employees are the most lovely and welcoming people ever.

Love this place. Max and his staff are so nice. Max is a legend in this area as. His been about for so long. Good food highly recommended it.

Perfect old fashioned greasy spoons at very affordable prices! Perfect cure for a hangover or a tasty treat.

Traditional café and menu so is Max!

Service is good, the food is ok but the scrambled eggs are dry.

Went in to have a well needed breakfast. Had poached eggs on toast and hot chocolate and it was cooked to perfection. The eggs were cooked and the yolk was still dippy

Nice and clean family cafe a bit cold inside food was ok...

Used to use it when over in college, sampled different meals regularly well pleased, went back 6-7 years after finished college course Max still remembered me. Was impressed (and No I didn't owe him money).

Best coffe shop .london..every one visit please

Feijão levemente adocicado ameei

One of the best options around Stockwell/larkhall

Max cafe has been a favourite of mine for years, well worth a visit every time. Cracking portions and always cooked to perfection.

Max is a legend and his cafe is fantastic! Great value, tasty food and lovely staff. Cannot beat the jacket potato with baked beans and cheese for just over a fiver! Takeaway or eat in, you can’t go wrong!

The shop assistants are very friendly. I won’t be hungry all day after eating breakfast.

Very good and tasty food at a reasonable price.

I've none max a long time very good food and friendly staff.

Very good food, wide variety of choice on menu and quick friendly service from excellent staff

Great Cafe. Have the Breakfast Baguette.

Not a nice as once was. Not much taste to sausages may cutting back

The food was tasteless, but it's a traditional cafe that has new here a few generation's.

Food was delicious but I think staff could be a bit more attentive and welcoming

Fantastic place for a great breakfast Everything was perfectly cooked and highly recommend .. Cheers lads keep it going !!

Clean friendly good food cooked well reasonable prices

Very nice bacon baguette and coffee. All done to my satisfaction. Set me up for the rest of the day.

Wow, food was great. I'm ready for the afternoon even tho I'm at work. Thank you Max Cafe for restoring my energy.

They have lovely food their service is great they have nice staff their very polite I recommend eating the chips and beans and sausages they taste really nice

Very good breakfast, certainly whats needed when hungover

Amazing Cafe, lovely people. The value for money is AMAZING! For £5 I got an English breakfast plate with loads of mushroom, bacon, sausages, eggs and hash browns PLUS 2 giant delicious buttered toast AND a huge mug of hot coffee. The portions are amazing and all for £5 is a steal! Will definitely become a regular customer.

Lovely spot to grab a grub on the move.

Excellent Breakfeast. Je recommande. Cela change de tout les endroits touristiques, tres bon rapport qualité prix!

Cheap and cheerful typical greasy spoon

For me nothing special. The classic English breakfast place.

Does a lovely breakfast & friendly staff.
