Waiter staff very inconsistent. Some are professional, others would be out of their depth running a kid's birthday party.
Just yesterday, I was at Maisy's and my friend and I ordered a Coke and Coffee at the same time as we ordered our meals, the food arrived around 15 minutes later, starving we started eating. After 10 minutes into our meal and dying for a drink I asked where our drinks were, another 5 minutes passed before they were served. About 30 minutes after we ordered.
On another recent visit, I ordered a coffee after dinner. It never arrived (despite reading the paper from cover to cover while waiting).
Great place, 24 hour cafe, been here many times in the early hours of the morning, where else can you get fresh poached eggs on toast and a vanilla milkshake at 4 am, beats a kebab any day!
Great food. I liked the nachos with kidney beans. My companion liked the lamb shanks. We had pancakes and blueberry ice cream to finish. The coffees were excellent. Very convenient as it is open 24 hrs. Nice and relaxing place to sit and chat whether it be mid-day or midnight.
Service was excellent. We have been there twice and will surely return.
Relaxed, dependable and always open, nothing overly fancy, and its cramped, but you go there to have a regular meal which is always a good sized serve and to catch up with friends. Open 24 hours and serving a big breakfast all night makes it a favourite after a big night out.
For a 24 hour cafe you can't complain about Maisy's! The menu seems to cater for (almost) whatever type of food you're in the mood for. The staff are nice and friendly and overall, I think it's a pretty decent place.
For a 24 hr cafe, its quite convenient, especially if you've been out late and are experiencing some late-night hunger pangs, but even then the prices are exorbitant in relation to the quality and serving size of the food, which is sad to say, quite bad. I had some toast with preserves. What arrived was two barely-toasted slices of wholemeal bread, with some jam.
When I asked the waitress whether I could have some water, she odd-handedly told me, 'it's self serve downstairs!'. To be fair, on the plus side, the coffee is quite good and the layout and decor is quite nice, just make sure you get a seat upstairs or outside otherwise you'll be crowded into the downstairs area.
I visit Maisy's quite regularly and I find that it is one of the better cafe's that open late night. The food is quite good and it is a quiet place to chat with friends. The price is a little expensive but it is expected since it is a 24 hours cafe. The staff are nice and friendly, and I would definitely recommend it to people who live in the area that want a late meal.
Now I don't mind paying the price for a good meal, but this really isn't worth it. The wait between ordering and being served is huge and happens EVERY time. You would think the prices they charge, they could afford a few more staff. Won't be going back.
I like Maisy's purely because it is open 24 hr. The food is okay, nothing to rave about and a little bit of a rip off. It's a good place for a late night coffee, but go outside or upstairs because downstairs (the mirrors!) freaks me out and makes me uncomfortable.
