Maggie Mays - Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Liverpool, XMS

Yet another of these traditional cafes along the same stretch of road. You lucky, lucky people - you really are spoilt for choice. There are a number of great things about Maggie Mays; the low price, the honest auntie's-dining-room furnishings, the service with a cackle - the best thing about Maggie Mays though is the scouse. The dish of our namesake has rarely been better done (except by my own mum) - the hearty, tasty stew served with a hunk of delicious crusty bread is a must. Good for breakfast too - a sausage sandwich will set you back less than £3 and fill you up for a good while. Watch of a lunchtime as the place begins to teem with locals and students alike after some home-cooked fare that won't cost the earth. read more

Maggie Mays - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Liverpool, XMS

Maggie May's is open seven days serving some of the classic ingredients sourced from around Scotland. In some ways, it reminds me of a seaside café from the Scottish Highlands with the type of dishes they sell: scampi, salmon fishcakes and sea bass for instance. If I ought to recommend anything, then it shall be Haggis with bashed Neeps and Tatties which is something of a Scottish speciality - that is Haggis with turnips and mashed potatoes (for those of you who are unfamiliar) and a traditional dish you have to try! If you fancy something different, you might want to opt for a Ploughman's sandwich or try some Liverpudlian Scouse, plus keep an eye out for daily specials written on their blackboard. You'll find that the prices are reasonable and service is efficient (always busy though, but a good sign). Maggie May's is a simple café, making it a great place to spend a casual lunch with family and friends. read more

Upon asking a friend, a native Liverpoolian, where I should try some scouse, she immediately recommended Maggie Mays. Upon entry I was tempted to order several items at such inexpensive rates; however, I simply ordered the scouse with red cabbage. The beef stew was hearty and filling; the red cabbage offered a complimentary flavor which certainly enhanced the dish. You can also order the scouse with beets which seems like a suitable alternative to red cabbage for as a comliment in this dish. read more

If you're looking to escape from branded, sometimes pretentious cafes on your trip to Liverpool, Maggy May's is the place to head. Situated halfway up Bold Street, Maggy's is a proper 'scouse' cafe, from its own brand tinned 'Scouse' to full English breakfast at great prices! When living in Liverpool as a student, Maggy's was a frequent haunt for me and my housemates to get some good solid food to soak up our hangovers. Their take on the famous Liverpool stew known as 'Scouse' is delicious, as are their old favourites such as 'sausage butty's' and 'scrambled egg on toast'. This Cafe is very popular with the locals and is always filled to the rafters over lunchtimes, being this busy constantly bodes well, and reflects the quality of their food and service. Whenever we ate here, the food was great and the service was always quick and efficient. read more

Bold Street just seems to be full of oldy worldy, upmarket greasy spoon type places and I just love it. Although I must say that I do partake in a little latte drinking from Costa time to time - and I do have a latte machine with Costa's coffee at home!- I do miss just your typical friendly local caff. The menu is great with good ol' cooked English breakfasts and Scouse - what more could you want? It also seems a bit like it's been cooked by your nan. Very quaint. The prices are really cheap and the service is second to none. read more

Maggie Mays - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Liverpool, XMS

Maggie Mays is simple, honest and really hits the spot if your after a good old English Breakfast. The place is simple within and feels light and comfortable with some potted plants dotted around all of which make you feel very much at ease when settling down for a tasty treat. They provide all sorts of traditional treats within even such things as an English tea cake which is not something as widely available as you would think. Thats the beauty of Maggie Mays there is no sense of this place trying to be anything other than a simple English Cafe which you can visit for a hearty meal and relaxing cuppa. To summarise I have only compliments for Maggie Mays I just hope that they continue to keep it simple and do not bow to the pressure of chain establishments to become something they are not. read more

Rushing into the Maggie May in a rainy Friday, only an old couple were sitting over there. Full of old photos and newspapers of Liverpool are on the wall and upon the tables. We ordered a classic scouse which recommended by BBC documentary and a steak with chips. I have to say, the scouse is interesting but tasteless and the steak is not good at all. I know that this old local style would not be fancied by young people but the classic restaurant need to find a new way to back in good day. 3 points for food while 5 points for environment, a classic and historic place for visitors! read more

See all

The food was pretty good, but the service was terrible. They acted like we were a burden and there was only a few people in the restaurant. And multiple employees. We were very nice, but maybe they didn't like the fact we were tourists? We ordered a meat pie to split between my mom and I because we weren't very hungry, but wanted to try it. When we got our food, she asked if we needed anything else. I asked for an extra set of silverware and an extra plate, she turned around without saying anything and went to get it. She brought the silverware and I just said, "oh and can I get that extra plate?" She again turned away and sighed/almost grunted as she was a few steps away from us. We wanted to come back to try their scouse they are supposed to be famous for, but I don't think we will be coming back. I normally don't write bad reviews, but we were overly turned off by the terrible service. I would give it less for the service, but I'm hoping it's just a one off! read more

Wake up Maggie, I think I've got something to say to you. It's late September and you really should be back at school. But if you're not quite ready to reignite your scholarly aptitude just yet, perhaps stopping in here for a veritable bin lid of a teacake might be an option. Anything that remotely reminds me of the fifties, which this café does in massive amounts, is fine in my book, and even though it's a decade I never knew my mother was born in it - and Maggie May is one of her all time favourite songs. See, I can create linkage! Bold Street is dotted with quirky little places to eat and drink so you're spoilt for choice, but this is certainly one you should consider. It's got such a cosy vibe and takes us back to simpler times, where chatty women in tabards would serve steaming hot mugs of tea. The food is as down to earth as an earthworm... sorry, I expected that comparison to be far more endearing, far less gross... ahem, as you can get toast, buns (or are they barmcakes? DISCUSS!), eggs, bacon, all the usual trimmings and sauces and greasy spoon delights. It's well cooked too, and the banter is lovely, but there's a quiet dignity about the place to boot. Definitely one for if you fancy some home comforts. read more

This is a local hang-out. The service is super nice. But the food is not very good. The prawn cocktail has tiny salad shrimp swimming in some kind of orange dressing. The scouse is what people go there for. But it's only really so-so. I kind of wish I would have just gotten tea and a pastry. read more

May I? Maggie?? May I please visit you and relish your delightful cafe charms?? Maggie Mays is a charming little spot on Bold street. This place is cheap as chips and continues the tradition of the cafe or coffee shop equivalent in the U of S. A place where you can mingle with your friends and share a breakfast / brunch / coffee. In fact I did just that not long ago catching up with a friend who lives in town. A pleasent experience indeed. I love places like this on a busy street, you can sit inside and mute the noise yet still enjoy the world go by, absolute bliss. Right across the road from Tea house as well, so lots of healthy competition for its affections. They don't really compete with each other though, sharing is caring and they definitely share my love and cutom. read more

It's great every time we eat here. Had the kippers and toast for breakfast this time and it was delicious. £4.50 makes it great value too. read more

Hungover + Breakfast = Perfect cure. Quick simple food at a reasonable price. Hash browns are the best, so crispy and chunky. (Visit - 02/05/2015 Breakfast) read more

Pretty much what you'd expect from an inner city cafe. Good prices, good, basic food with reasonable portions. Nice, clean environment. Service is ok. Efficient but could do with being a bit friendlier. I would, and probably will, go back. read more
