Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often come for the full English breakfast, with bubble and squeak and a vegetarian version both mentioned, and they describe generous portions and friendly staff who accommodate switches to a meal. Close behind are smoked salmon with scrambled eggs on toast, a bacon and sausage roll, and the traditional fish and chips, whose fish one diner calls fresh, flaky and crispy, served with chips and green peas. Several say the prices are reasonable for Borough Market, though one finds it a bit pricey and was unhappy to pay for sitting in. The main complaint is service speed: one reviewer waited a long stretch for two English breakfasts in a quiet room and never got the salt they asked for. Another found the bacon a touch overcooked and the iced coffee not fresh enough. Several praise the welcome, and two describe staff graciously serving them before opening time, one offering to cook a full English breakfast and return when the stall was delayed by a staffing shortage.

    “We arrived a bit before serving time at breakfast but they graciously accommodated us. I enjoyed an excellent smoked salmon and eggs dish. Thank you so much for your kind service.”
  • Sandra Weightman
    “We stopped at Maria’s Café in Borough Market in London, and it was a great choice! The market is so inviting and nicely decorated. We ordered the traditional fish and chips, and our food came out very quickly. The meal included crispy fried fish, French fries, and green peas, which seems to be a classic combo in England (not my fav)! The fish was fresh, flaky, and cooked perfectly. It had a light, crispy batter. The portion size was huge, and the price was reasonable. The overall experience was excellent. If you’re visiting Borough Market and looking for a delicious, authentic fish and chips meal, Maria’s Café is the place to stop.”

    “We were looking for a place to have breakfast on a Sunday when most places were closed or didn't serve cooked breakfasts. We had a salmon and scrambled eggs on toast and a veggie brekkie. The food was good and portions were very generous. It's a bit pricey, I wasn't very happy to have to pay for sitting in but it's London/ Borough Market so I get it.”
  • Michael Hayward
    “Great spot for a breakfast in the morning, reasonable pricing and quick service to keep your day going. Great staff too, happy to accommodate any switches for your meal, and conversation while your food is being cooked. Have been coming here a long while and hope to be back again in the future!”
  • Stanic Moon
