Tier Achieved:
Mediocre energy. You'd probably do better cooking at home.
The epitome of "does the job." Safe enough, food's fine. But let's be honest β your kitchen's probably cleaner AND tastier.
Maria's Market Cafe is your classic breakfast spot right in the heart of Borough Market. On the surface, it looks like a bustling little cafe serving up fry-ups that make your heart sing. Jon enjoyed a bacon and sausage roll, while Marcus Darwent went all out with the full English, and it sounds like they nailed it. The bubble and squeak is apparently a must-try, and the staff are described as super friendly. Just keep your expectations in checkβthis is a fuel-stop, not a gourmet experience.
While the food hits the spot, itβs not without its flaws. Some reviewers mentioned overcooked bacon and drinks that could be fresher. That said, if youβre in the Borough Market area and in need of a hearty meal, this place has got your back. Just remember to bring your A-game when it comes to appetite; the portions are generous. π³
