Mae + Harvey

Finally a good café to grab a delicious sarnie on the way to work or grab a brunch on the weekend. With my partner we go pretty much every Sunday brunch and loved every dish we had so far. I am a professional chef for over 20 years and it’s hard these days to find a good small cafe or restaurant that isn’t over priced serving badly prepared cheap food. I recommend Mae + Harvey, simple, well prepared, well presented good plates of food and the chicken sarnie is to die for.

A petite gem in London's bustling food scene, this restaurant is a culinary delight. The food is nothing short of amazing, with swift service that doesn't compromise on quality. Be prepared for a queue during peak hours, a testament to its popularity, particularly for Saturday/Sunday brunch. Their Turkish eggs are my personal favorite, but the allure of other dishes is undeniable. A must-visit spot for a delectable dining experience.

Lovely little cafe on Roman road. There were tables available when I went at lunch on a Friday, though I've seen it a lot busier for weekend brunch. The menu seems like it's new every day. I got the granola with yoghurt which was really delicious. My friend got the sandwich which apparently was equally good. Coffee was again great. The interior is simple but nice and even though it was busy you could still hear each other talk. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

LOVE this place. Am visiting London for a week and have been here 3 times - once I had the scrambled eggs on toast and bacon on the side, chicken sarni and focaccia with chorizo to go; another time had the pancakes with apricots and mascarpone cream; and today I had the pancakes again and some Turkish eggs. Everything tasted amazing - only note, the mascarpone cream doesn't taste citrussy enough, bit too bland. Coffee is really good (but my Mom didn't like the decaf espresso she had...) LOVELY people working there. Prices are a bit high imo, as high as in Copenhagen, which is saying something...but if I lived here, I would still visit once a week ♡

Mae & Harvey is a local gem. Their food is amazing, and the staff are so friendly, plus they serve the best coffee on Roman Road! The pancakes are a family favorite, guaranteed to put a smile on everyone's face, the healthier breakfast granola with seasonal fruit compote is also a real winner. The chicken sandwich for lunch is one of the best sandwiches I have ever had, plus it is so packed with chicken, you could easily share one between 2.

Mae + Harvey is always a great spot to grab brunch on the weekend, so if you come and have to queue you'll soon discover the reason why and it'll be more than worth it. What separates this cafe from many others are the quality ingredients used, with me eating one of the best English breakfasts of my life.
