    Delicious!
    Kerry O.

    This is a gem! Delicious food and wonderful staff/atmosphere! I'm thankful we discovered Cafe Maya on our impromptu holiday weekend

    House Breakfast and black coffee. Delish.

    Such a cute place. I stumbled upon this cafe when I was looking for an early breakfast. The service was wonderful and the place felt like such a homey and authentic little cafe. I ordered the House Breakfast and very much enjoyed it.

    I love Cafe Maya and go about every other week because I live down the road at the nearby LSE student accommodation. Great hangover brunch option, y'all! Full English and variations for about 5 pounds. Comes with coffee or tea. Smoothies are about 3 pounds, but absolutely delicious and can be life-saving . There's not a ton of seating, but there always seems to be a spot! Service is friendly, responsive, and relatively efficient though there's usually only one waitress out on the floor.

    Summary based on one breakfast: -came here as an alternative to a hotel breakfast -interesting, varied menu with decent food. I had a Mediterranean style breakfast that was somewhat new to me. -service was fine -prices ok. Cash only, as I recall

    Great place to people watch!

    As passing this place yesterday and considering the menu I asked the 2 people exiting if it was amy good, they responded with a positive recommendation hence here today. The ambiance of this modern take of a greasy spoon is pleasant in sense of decor and tables. Even HP and Heinz ketchup taking prominent place on every table. I ordered set breakfast number 5 with bubble and squeek, sausage, bacon, beans and a fried egg, all coming with toast and a choice of tea or coffee. I grabbed the ketchup ready to tuck into my hearty breakfast when I noticed a colour lack upon pouring from my bottle, then to confirm my thoughts tasted it to realise that DAMN I was right (unfortunately) getting a sharp taste of the bitterness associated with vinegar ... This was cheap red sauce in a Heinz Ketchup bottle, the same for the brown sauce! (I am a lover of both HP and Ketchup on fry ups hence my essay here!). The toast, bacon and beans were ok, the sausage was a cheap frozen one and as for the bubble and squeek, vial was not the word, or maybe I had just chosen wrong, but sloppy green baby food would be a pertinent description. I am more disappointed because I really was looking forward to this place. Sorry but I would NOT return, but maybe grabbing a bacon sandwich on the go would be acceptable!

    The traditional English breakfast. (PLUS mushrooms!)
    Lauren S.

    If I have one regret on my recent trip overseas, it was the lack of full English breakfasts I got to eat while there. However, since I was only allotted my "one", I'm glad that I chose Cafe Maya. The name and the decor are definitely not aligned. With a few minor references to the menu, there is nothing "Mayan" about this. The restaurant is small but cozy and homey. It reminded me a lot of little shops that dot the side streets of other cities like New York or Boston in the US. But the decor and the misnomer of a name is hardly anything to be concerned with, especially when you get down to the real reason you're here: the food. The traditional English breakfast here was everything I wanted and MORE! For relatively cheap, about £5-6, you can get a complete and filling breakfast, loaded with all the fixings you come to know and love. The mushrooms were my favorite part. But the combo of the bacon (rashers), baked beans, and perfectly cooked over-medium eggs made for a delectable melting pot that smothered the plate (and ultimately, my stomach). In some ways, I'm glad that I only had the time and the room for one English breakfast since I could barely finish the one that first one. But honestly: WORTH IT!

    Very clean place with pleasant staff. I went for set menu number 5 which was sausage bacon egg and bubble and squeak. Everything was very nice apart from the bubble and squeak which was a bit sloppy. For £5.50 with tea and toast you can't go wrong!

    -_____- . I'm gonna be real, the matcha drink that I had here tastes way better than more than half…read moreof the matcha drinks that I've had back home in California LOL. I had the iced matcha cloud with raspberry syrup. Quality matcha powder used *and* the added fruit sweetener (raspberry here) is subtle but still tasteful actually complementing well with the matcha (unlike fruit sweetener that tastes like straight jam overpowering the whole drink.....). A matcha drink that actually makes sense lol. I also tried the iced Japanese cold brew. Pretty strong in brew taste but still smooth! Polite barista. Low-key, chill vibes at the cafe on a Monday late afternoon. Definitely a nice spot for a pick-me-up drink while venturing London. :)

    We've gone here twice now and both times have been pretty great! We really enjoy their croissants…read moresandwich. The one we have had has a delicious and flaky seeded croissant and it has a really nice portion of cream cheese and prosciutto and arugula. It's really savory. I ordered a latte on both visits. The art on it is very nice, but it also tastes as good as it looks! It's smooth and creamy and the perfect temperature to enjoy it right away. The cappuccino my brother ordered also looked pretty good. The staff working here are really friendly and welcoming as well. She was very attentive and asked us if everything was good and if we needed anything else. Unfortunately, we're just visiting the country, but would definitely love to come back to this cafe in the future!

    So my mother and I ate at a lot of eateries while we were in London last year. Only Bloomsbury Cafe…read moreleft us declaring defeat: we just couldn't finish our meals here. Their servings are HUGE, and are so affordable too! I left wishing my mother and I had the ability to save our leftovers for later, because we hated wasting any of the delicious food that we ordered. Even before we got our food we were pretty excited. When you walk in you're greeted here with a beautiful sight: fresh sandwiches, bread, and pastries, all on display right at their main counter. Once we were seated I noticed little flower pots line the window, too. Fresh food and flowers - what more can you ask from a cafe for a first impression? We also loved the owner and his wife: they were very kind and they constantly kept us up to date on our food order, just to mention what was done and what they still needed to do or cook. They clearly work hard to provide fresh fast meals - and we learned quickly as people came in and out of the place that takeaway is available here. But we wanted to enjoy a sit down meal, and enjoy we did! I started mine with fresh squeezed juice - we're talking so fresh you'll want to add sugar to it if you're used to the juice that comes in stores. And when our English breakfasts came out? Just, wonderful. My mother and I each received SO much food. Both meals came with amazing buttered bread (like, I would have happily eaten an entire plate of bread and only bread), hash browns so fresh that they may as well have given us the original potatoes (yum), and what I can really only describe as a mountain of beans, eggs, and meat (well, on mine anyway - not so much on my mother's vegetarian breakfast order). All of it absolutely delicious, and every single bite made me smile wider and wider. Definitely walk on in if you're near this little shop. Don't be afraid to order one meal and share it if there's only two of you, either - you'll likely both leave well fed, and you can always order a little more food if you want too from that great looking counter of theirs...

    Had the New Yorker. Hit and fresh bread, what you want in a panini. Staff was friendly and…read moreefficient. I'd eat here again if you just want a quick sandwich and not in the mood for pub food. Though I did not have any, their desserts look really good too.
