I'm a long time fan of Deliciously Ella and love cooking her recipes even though I'm not gluten/sugar/dairy free because they always make me feel like I'm being that bit healthier and kinder to my body. So as soon as I arranged to go to London last weekend I knew I had to visit The Mae Deli.
Even though I only had the coffee and cake experience I really wanted to review the deli because it's somewhere I'd been wanting to go for so long!
So for starters, my only choice was to go on a weekend because that's when I was in London, but I would definitely advise that if you do have a choice don't go on a weekend! It was very busy, although mainly for takeaway so once I'd queued I did get a seat downstairs just fine. One downside was that it was extremely hot downstairs so it wasn't the most relaxing experience.
I didn't really mean to start the review negatively because don't get me wrong I loved this place. The staff were absolutely lovely and attentive and I basically could have eaten the whole shop. So onto the food...I had a cinnamon matcha latte and a peanut butter fudge slice. The matcha latte was by far the best I've ever had and the cinnamon just added that extra bit of sweetness - I could probably drink these hourly throughout the day if I'm honest! The peanut butter fudge slice was so amazing I can't think of a word good enough to describe it! I can't believe there was no refined sugar in it as it was so sweet and rich and actually tasted far more naughty than anything I'd usually have.
Price wise I definitely thought it was reasonable for something so specialised apart from the juice, which for some reason seemed to be much more expensive than anything else at £6.95, which I personally would not pay on a regular basis!
The interiors were lovely - fairly understated, but in a good way, with cute little touches and attention to detail. It reminded me of a beach bar with the wooden tables, cushions and pastel blues.
I would 100% visit The Mae Deli again and I'm craving a cinnamon matcha latte just writing this post! I really wish we had somewhere like this in Hull so if you're reading Ella (which you're definitely not) I'll keep you in business if you fancy opening one here!
