La Maria

I don’t understand how people leave bad reviews on this restaurant or say it’s overpriced! I eat with my family and friends here weekly and every time the food is brilliant and the customer service is perfect . The plate always goes back empty to the kitchen which shows the food is up to standards and brilliant as always. What else are you looking for in Woburn sands, a small business that provides great food and great customer service. As well as the food being top quality we appreciate the precautions they’re taking to make sure everyone is safe and well.

We popped in here for breakfast while my car was having its MOT, expecting your run of the mill greasy spoon but were very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is comfortable and cosy and the cafe was very clean, I was quite happy to place my handbag on the floor whereas usually I would hang it off the back of my chair. The waiter was attentive and came to take our order quickly. We ordered the Maria Panini and a latte and a cappucino. The coffee was very good quality and presented very nicely. The food was a lovely surprise; the panini was made with tasty ciabatta bread and the side salad was as good as the main meal, a delicious mix of leaves, tomatoes, and olives finished with an olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing. It was so filling that I wrapped half of my sandwich in a napkin to take away, and the waiter noticed and kindly brought over a paper bag without me needing to ask. I was quite charmed by the novelty of a large, strapping man with tattooed forearms serving our food and drink so delicately! It's a calm and quiet atmosphere and you won't necessarily be hailed with loud and grand cries of welcome when you step through the door, but the service is polite and quick and the food very good for the price. We look forward to returning!
