Halal cafe for Brunch, sister restaurant to The Connaught in Ilford

Maple Brunch Cafe

This is an amazing breakfast and brunch spot. The food looks so good you’ll want to take loads of photos before even eating. I really enjoyed the sourdough bread, poached egg, and garlic yogurt combo — delicious and well-balanced. The pancakes and French toast were perfectly made: light, fluffy, and paired with great syrups and toppings. The place itself is cosy with a warm atmosphere, and the customer service was excellent. A fantastic spot for a quality brunch!

So I stopped by Maple brunch Café the other morning, kind of by mistake honestly. I was just walking and trying to wake myself up, and the place looked quiet enough so I just went in without overthinking it. I ended up getting this yogurt bowl thing with strawberries, blueberries, some random berries I didn’t even recognise, and banana slices. It looked a bit too “healthy person on a Sunday morning” for me but it actually tasted way better than I expected. The fruit wasn’t mushy (thank God), and the yogurt wasn’t that sour type that makes you regret everything.

They also gave me this piece of bread with some powder on top… I still have no clue what the powder was. Cinnamon? Sugar? Some café-chef magic dust? I tried guessing but I gave up and just ate it. It was weird in a nice way, like something you wouldn’t ask for but you’re glad you tried.

I got an orange juice too, which basically smacked me awake because it was way stronger than I thought. The place itself felt relaxed, not loud, and the staff didn’t treat me like I was bothering them, which is always a bonus. Honestly, solid breakfast for a random decision.

We visited on a Saturday as a walk-in, it was a busy atmosphere. Our server was incredibly helpful, especially when it came to confirming allergens and even recommending changes to the dish to suit our needs. We didn't have to wait long for our order, which was a huge plus. It's also worth noting that this is a baby-friendly restaurant - although not much room for the pram due to the narrow entrance.

Supertasty, superfriendly and supercute! There is great presentation and flavours, with  lovely vibes. So good, I returned multiple times, especially since it was handily between my hotel and Bethnal Green tube, takeaway also available.
10/10 wouldn recommend

The restaurant is not far from Bethel Green station and it is quite close to young V&A museum.

It is quite busy and crowded on a Sunday morning, however it doesn’t impact the food quality.

We were able to walk in and get a seat for two persons. We decided to have Bénédict’s and avocado on sourdough with scrambled eggs.

The presentation of the dishes was beautiful, and they tasted great as well. They definitely taste healthy if you would like some more seasoning you can add salt and pepper.

There was no service charge and the price was so affordable in London. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Please tip them.

I will definitely come back.
