Is a great place to meet friends for coffee or a quick bite, late at night. Have always enjoyed the bustling vibe, and generally choose to go to Maisy's for coffee after dining out, rather than having coffee at the restaurant. People go there to chatter, so the vibe is as such. Wait staff are always friendly and service prompt. Not anything to write home about though, and if you're expecting any more than a 24 hour coffee shop, then you'll be disappointed.
The overwhelming intolerance to having children in this cafe outweighed anything good about it. The waiter was openly hostile about my child who was quiet and did nothing wrong. She was sitting at the table playing with the salt shaker. He snatched it out of her hands and said "I don't want salt on the table". Not impressed.
Dropped in for a quick early morning breakfast a few days ago. I only had some thick sliced rye toast (with real butter and Vegemite) and Irish breakfast tea, but it hit the spot. (I have had pancakes on another occasion and they were pretty good.) Service has always been friendly and quick, and I love that it's open 24 hours.
Great night spot for those night drives. Start off with a coffee before the northern beaches run. Finish off with their delicious chicken burger and chips. I rate their chips as the best in Sydney. Coffee is pretty good too.
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.
