the mac factory in Camden

We went to the Camden Market just to eat the mac and cheese, and it did not disappoint. It's probably one of the most tastiest things we had at the market.

Chose the super mario and it was excellent. Loads of truffle oil and mushrooms. The flavours and quality were genuinely very good. Highly recommended. Best thing I've had in Camden market. Forget funky chips, go to the Mac factory

I legit thought about this Mac n cheese for five years since my first trip to London and was so excited to finally have it again and it still lived up to my expectations. Specifically I had the la med babe both times and it’s just delicious and a decent serving size.

Very tasty and diverse selection of mac and cheese. We had an Italian version with sun-dried tomatoes and mozzarella, an exciting variation. Very friendly staff, you can enjoy the mac and cheese comfortably on a wall on the adjacent canal.

I got the Mambo Italiano, which costs £8.95. It was very rich and savoury, with adequate toppings (i.e., crispy pancetta, mushrooms). However, I would recommend you to share this cup of mac and cheese, since the taste could be quite overwhelming if you were to finish this on your own... especially if you're also trying some other foods in Camden Market. The queue was quite long, but once it was my turn to order, it took them less than 3 minutes to serve it. Very efficient. They don't accept cash, so make sure to have your contactless card ready for payment.

It's not bad, but it's not the best stall on the market. I consider it a bit expensive for preheated macaroni.

I had mac & cheese with bacon, mushrooms, fried onions, it was really good, but a little too salty.

The pancetta one makes my mouth wayer crave it so much at home oh ANd THE MUSHROOMS😍😍😍😍😍😍😍plus everyone there is smiley and sweet

Not much people in weekdays, the Mac and cheese is good. Eat nearby the river is nice as well

I recently stopped by for a quick bite and was thoroughly impressed by both the quality of the food and the generous portions served. The flavors were absolutely fantastic, and the truffle oil was a great touch. If you’re planning to eat your food near the stand, you need to be cautious of the mischievous birds lurking nearby, as they were quite bold in their attempts to snatch a bite.

- The Super Mario (sautéed mushrooms, garlic, truffle oil) was DELICIOUS and absolutely worth £9.

Its amazing, it's the best Mac and cheese i have ever tried in Europe (so far). The price is an ok price considering you are in London. The portion is pretty good and the ingredients used are blended together really nicely.

They claim to be open by 11am but they don’t. I’m here at 11.15 and it’s still not open. And they just don’t say anything while preparing. U wait out if u can.

The best Mac and Cheese I’ve ever had

If you love mac n cheese then you’re gonna love this place.

Most glorious mac and cheese out of any to grace my tongue 10/10 approved, is always my pick at camden market…

This was part of our Camden experience, and I was pleasantly surprised at the number of options for a simple meal like Mac and Cheese. It tasted very good, I would recommend this place.

This place is a MUST TRY..AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. Was so pleased with the menu options, but ultimately decided to go with the Posh Spice which I've heard a ton of good things about. The Posh Spice is made with their signature mac and cheese sauce topped with chorizo, caramelized onions, and harissa. Watching him make this meal was such a great experience. I mean, the amount of cheeses he put into a bowl and then on top of the macaroni was unbelievable. I absolutely knew I was in for a treat. The mac and cheese was so gooey and the mixture of toppings was so delicious. For less than 9 pounds, it was absolutely worth the price. The portion may look small but it's packing and will leave you feeling more than satisfied. Will definitely be trying this again. Next time I'll try one of their other amazing toppings.

Simply Delicious 😋 and very cheesy. Would highly recommend.

We had the Posh Spice and it was delicious! I couldn’t stop reaching for it.

The food is so cheesy! It’s the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had 10/10. I come here everytime! So good

I got the mac and cheese with pesto (La Med Babe?). I love mac and cheese usually, but this one disappointed me with its lack of cheese depth which makes sense since they use the same base mac for all their options. Still good, but not great.

Best Mac N Cheese I've ever had!! Portion size is good because its so filling.

C’était excellent ! J’en avais jamais mangé et j’ai été agréablement surpris. Il y avait du fromage pour toutes les pâtes et pas seulement sur le dessus. L’assaisonnement était bon, vraiment rien à redire ! Les prix sont plutôt abordables et on est servi rapidement 😊

Pleasantly surprised that the Mac n cheese here tastes so damn good. Ordered the mushroom truffle option. Will be back

Excellent mac and cheese best i had in london. Super cheesy super yummy.

One of the best Mac & Cheeses we’ve tried. The hype is real. Reasonable priced for quite a large portion. Will definatly be visiting again.

My friend and I both had the Nostalgic Mac and cheese at winter wonderland and we were both really disappointed. The flavour was underwhelming and it was way too salty, couldn’t stop drinking water after/through the night.

The mac and cheese here tastes incredible and is a whole load of cheese. The portion sizes are on the small side but what you do get tastes great. I got la med babe which I would recommend.

We came here because of Rate My Takeaway. It did not dissapoint.

Believed the hype and became a fool. Totally underwhelmed by this Mac. Presentation was poor and taste was lacking. More of a show pony than what they appear to be. I was looking forward to this too

Nice food. Nice staff, birds poo'd on two of us!

Food was superb w great service! Can say one of the best mac n cheese in London I’ve tasted

The best halal mac and cheese in London. We asked them whether their vegetarian options are halal friendly and yes, it is halal friendly (this dish: Nostalgic Mac and Cheese) The mac and cheese is not bland, very comforting. the addition of fried onion surprisingly make perfect combination. Love it! Even my husband who is not a fan of mac and cheese says it is tasty. Recommend it.

I liked their mac & cheese however, not to the extent that they publicise it as basis reviews - "world's best mac & cheese". It was among the good ones that I have had but nothing to blow your mind away exceptionally.

We decided to stop by The Mac Factory on our trip to Camden Market. It was our first time being there, and honestly, we were unsure what to expect. We order 2 Mac 'n' Cheese Pots: The Mambo Italiano, which was served with Smoked pancetta, mushroom and garlic, and the Super Mario, which was served with sauteed Mushrooms, truffle oil and garlic. All Mac 'n' Cheese pots are topped with The Mac Factory's classic cheese blend of mature cheddar, mozzarella and their signature parmesan and thyme crumble, we felt like this was a much needed addition to the dish, as it enhanced the flavour and gave nice varying textures (and a little crunch). If you are really into cheese dishes, this is definitely a place to visit. The service was extremely fast (for the standards of Camden Market), and the server had friendly banter while they helped us make decisions on our order. Overall, we believe this is a great meal for Camden Market, since you can eat while on the move, just be aware of the small serving size, it most likely will not be the only meal of the day. We enjoyed our time and will very likely be coming back.

Worth the hype! Cu siguranța dacă veniți in piața aici găsiți una din secretele ei. Nu puteți da greși indiferent ce alegeți garantez ca o sa va placa.

Got the special - jerk chicken, pineapple salsa and pickled chilli. Mac and cheese was pleasantly light and fluffy, but chicken was a bit dry. The pickled chilli is actually spicy, so avoid the seeds! Overall not bad to share, but might be a bit too surfeiting for one.

The original Mac and cheese is the best I have ever had.

The best Mac & Cheese I’ve ever tasty. Super creamy and cheesy and worth a special trip.

Nice little find. Good mac n cheese.

We stayed in the queue for almost twenty minutes (10 minutes to order, 10 minutes to pick the food up), but I don’t know if it was worth the queueing. We came for the tiktok fame. Don’t get me wrong, the food is really good (we ordered the posh spice), but at the end of the day it’s mac and cheese. If you’re a huge fan of mac and cheese, I’d definitely recommend this place. If not, the market has so much to offer

A really good option. You kind of know what you get with this place.

Honestly some of the best Mac and cheese in London. I had the one with crispy pancetta and all of the ingredients were fresh. The line is always long because everything is super delicious but the wait is negligible. And the food is cheap. £8.95 for a bowl with mushrooms, pancetta and crispy croutons. Definitely worth the hype!

The portion seems small, but in fact, it is plenty! Very rich taste and flavour.

This place is the GOAT!! I’ve had a lot of friends come visit me in London and whenever I take them out on a tour of London we always stop by Camden because you have got to get the Meat Mac n Cheese!! It’s so good and you won’t regret it! Word of advice get the Mac n Cheese and go sit by the canal or if you want a walk definitely go to Primrose Hill and look at Londons Skyline!

The food was good, and the service pretty fast. Not too expensive and very tasty

Now I know why this place is so busy! The Mac and cheese is beautiful, melt in your mouth and well worth the £8.95!!

Oh wow it’s true that they say it’s the best Mac n cheese in London. Now I don’t think I’d visit Camden market on a Saturday again it was packed. We queued for about 40 minutes but definitely worth the wait, although I’ve been in Camden market on Thursday so maybe go then if you can lines aren’t so long! It’s creamy, cheesy and full of bacon. It was so good we ate so much in Camden market that day but the max factory stands out as the absolute winner. 10/10

Came here with my boyfriend to try the super mario as it was highly rated by Mikey Chen on Youtube. We did not have high expectations as we both aren't fans of mac and cheese. However we were wrong....this was so delicious. perfect mac to cheese ratio and the truffle oil and fried onions were a perfect match. It feels like comfort food that we never thought we had. Perfect as a side however great on its own as well. Lovely service from the chef. Will come again.

Vine recomendada y son sin duda alguna los mejores Mac & Cheese que he probado nunca. Son super rápidos y la relación calidad/precio es muy buena

Best mac and cheese in london. Whenever I go to Camden Market I always think to myself I will eat something different but I cant avoid and always end up eating here. Love it! It's delicious

Terrific Mac and Cheese. Highly recommend.

Very nice small pot of Mac and cheese - I had the one with nachos on and some chilli. Camden locks was very busy so there was quite a queue, probably 10 minutes. The pot wasn’t big enough for a full lunch but a nice portion if you’re happy to have something else / smaller eater.

I really enjoyed the mac n cheese here, I got the mambo Italiano (would recommend). The smoky meat and fried onions really complimented the pasta.

Decent mac and cheese, not mind-blowing. Got the super mario, personally would like more mushrooms on it!

As The Mac Factory is one of the most hyped kitchens in Camden Market, we had to give it a try. We ordered both the Super Mario and the Rub a dub mac. The hype is not justified, the mac is pretty average and tasted just like pasta with cheese sauce, nothing special and is not worth 8 pounds in my opinion. Fried onion does not belong on pasta and did not complement the other flavours. Crispy bread crumbs would have been a better alternative! Super mario offered a great taste of mushroom and truffle, would have appreciated more mushrooms in the mac as well, to much pasta compared to toppings The rub a dub had a fresh taste and made the mac feel lighter, however, also lacked topping compared to mac The

Some very good and rich cheesy Mac n cheese. Not much to it; they do a really simple dish really well. That said, it’s pretty generic mac n cheese and you can tell the ingredients aren’t very high quality. Go to Hawksmoor for the best mac n cheese in London.

Tiny kiosk, barely found it after a long search. The mac'n'chees were pretty nice though.

Wanted to try the famous Mac from here and it didn't disappoint, very rich and creamy. Down sides is the area, very crowded and the wait time after ordering as 20 minutes or more. Atmosphere, another downside, I recommend going somewhere else after getting your food.

Waited around 10 minutes and it was well worth the wait! The macaroni was freshly made and tasted amazing, it honestly was one of the best I've ever tasted!. We had the Classic and the Mambo Italianio.

A few had suggested this place to me, by saying that it featured on the Insider. I was curious to try this. Waited a long time in the queue, and guess what the Insider made a smart choice!

Really delicious Mac and cheese

very fast service w/flavoury food

Very interesting food and very tasty. Very nice service. I would definitely go for a meal again.

We had the Super Mario (£8.95) and boy was it delicious. It tasted really garlicky too, with mushrooms on top with some crunchy bits that added texture.

מק אנד ציז טעים מאוד, יותר גבינה ממקרוני. מנה משביעה, רצוי לחלוק. לפעמים צריך לחכות עד שהמנה תהיה מוכנה, שווה את ההמתנה.

The best MacnCheese we had. We even went back for 3rds. Staff were friendly and provided service with a smile

The perfect balance of creamy and cheesy. The perfect classic mac and cheese! The booth is tucked in a great location where you can enjoy your mac and cheese on the go or find a spot to sit and enjoy the vibrant market.

The Mac and cheese was really good, a little on the heavy side but was very filling. The taste was not excessively over powering. I would definitely come back

I like the taste. I feel like they could be more welcoming and ask questions to the customers like what they like, bestsellers, etc. I didnt wait long since it was friday pm. I recommand!

My daughter loves this place, only comes to Camden for the mac n cheese, great variety and price

Cheesy goodnesss, loved it. It is a great portion and the toppings are unique!!

Tasted great; very creamy! Highly recommend

The Mac-arena! So good and cheesy highly recommend :)

Never had such a good Mac and cheese before. The toppings are very fitting and delicious.

Meilleure Mac and cheese de toute la vie. Plat très chaud et copieux, idéal pour se réchauffer après une averse. Je recommande très fortement !

Best Mac and cheese we ever had!

The best mac and cheese in London! We ordered POSH SPICE and MAMBO ITALIANO.

Me and my friend were walking around Camden markets and I really felt like having a Mach & cheese and I wasn't disappointed. A lot of options to choose from. Prices are moderated for being a stall in the market. We sat down on one of the tables with benches and enjoyed are creamy Mach & cheese

Tappa fissa nel mercato di Camden. Ottimo Mac and cheese in diverse varianti. Consigliato!

The La-med Babe and Super Mario Mac & Cheese has my heart! Mainly dude to the fact that I couldn’t try the rest because of halal problems but if I could I’m sure I’d love those too!

Such good mac n cheese! Portions are good and the price is reasonably, maybe a little on the steep side, however it is Camden and London so that’s acceptable. The flavour combinations are delicious and it’s such a reliable food location in Camden where you really cannot go wrong!

The best Mac and Cheese we've ever had!

Absolutely unreal Mac and cheese. I had the one with harissa and chorizo and it was delicious. Staff were friendly and the rest of the menu looked really good too

Good mac and cheese, pasta portion was small for the amount of cheese. Could have used more pasta for sure and for the price. Service was bad, really slow and the people were miserable/barely said anything.

5* delicious. I had pancetta, mushroom, and garlic. It was soooooo flavoursome. Price was ok £8.50. Be prepared to wait with the ticket system... pay, get ticket and wait for number to be called.

Dette var virkelig godt! De sa ventetiden skulle være omtrent 10 minutter, men ble nærmere 20 minutter. Heldigvis hadde vi god tid. Bestilte Rub a dub mac og Posh Spice. Veldig gode.

I highly recommend this place, best Mac and cheese ever!. If you are looking the real Mac and cheese you must go. You need to be patient with the preparation, because it takes some time to prepare this dish but it worth as soon as you taste this flavor.

Buon posto se dovete mangiare velocemente

First time I tried the mac & cheese here and I was not disappointed. It was very delicious, very cheesy, lots of flavour and the portion is big. I fortunately didn’t had to wait too long. The price was kinda expensive, but I guess that’s just London. Still worth it :)

First time here and it was fantastic! Delicious cheesy goodness and not too rich either. Super Mario pot was superb - sautéed mushrooms, truffle oil and garlic. Shared one pot between two as we were eating from other places.

Ahhhhh at last! A decent Mac and cheese has finally been found. I've always been a Mac and cheese sceptic - it's one of my favourite dishes but I've consistently been let down every time I've ordered it in the past. All too often the sauce is pretty much a bland white sauce that if contains any cheese, is of the extremely mild variety. Flavourless goop that someone shoves breadcrumbs or cheese over and thinks it will pass. It will not. Therefore I was wary of giving The Mac Factory a go. I needn't have worried. The sauce was delicious thick yet creamy, possibly containing a mozzarella style cheese as the sauce had similar pull to it and really clung to the pasta. You definitely get a potent kick of flavour and most importantly 'cheese' in the sauce. Personally I don't think you can have an ultimate Mac and cheese without a baked top, however you can get a variety of "types" here. It's really just some toppings loaded onto the same batch of pasta so some invention in that area would be nice across the menu. As it was I went with the Super Mario and the mushrooms and truffle were a nice addition, even if it would have been nice to have that flavour running through the whole dish. Note to other restaurants - this is the baseline for how Mac and cheese should be!

I always visit camdem for food as I am never disappointed, but unfortunately this time I was! I wanted the rub a dub Mac which is new on the menu. I was stood in front of this stall for a at least 5 minutes deciding what I wanted and there was literally no one else around me. I was clearly speaking with my friend deciding between two and the man didn't think to mention that they didn't actually have it... Good thing I had a back up otherwise I would have been there for ages. Now the mac itself was fine. I settled for posh spice. The flavour was OK; really nothing to write home about so I don't understand the hype. You do get a good amount and it is filling but I feel the topping ruined it. I ended up pushing it to the side as it was just a bit bland. They don't offer gluten free or vegan options.

Unfortunately, when I arrived in the evening, there was only the classic version available, but it was delicious. Very fresh and hot and the cheese was of good quality.

Lobster Mac was delicious!! But I do like my Mac with a crispy cheese top & sadly this was lacking, but other than that it was delicious!!

So stellt man sich ein Mac Cheese vor. Der Service hat sich Zeit gelassen bei der Zubereitung damit der Käse schön schmilzt und die Nudeln perfekt gekocht sind. Auf jeden Fall eine sehr käsige Angelegenheit . Außerdem halal freundlich auf Wunsch.

Seen the mac shack on tik tok and it didn’t disappoint. It was so cheesy and so good. Had it with chorizo and siracha Mayo. A must visit

HOLI MACARONI! 🧀 📍London, Camden Market ⭐️ 4/5 💸 £ 🍴Just call me... cheesy, but I'm in love! 🤣 Today I tried @themacfactorylondon and their #mac&cheese has truly surprised me! I went for their all-time classic 'Nostalgic', made with their classic cheese blend of Mature Cheddar, and Mozzarella. Definitely coming back to try their other Mac specialities ❤️‍🔥

The Mac Factory was something we came across on TikTok and immediately knew we had to try. We were not disappointed- the flavour, quantity and price was spot on given the area you are in! We had the Super Mario and it was simply delicious. Try The Mac Factory when you are in Camden!
