This is definitely the cafe I would return to in Maspalomas - for the great food, coffee and definitely the staff too! The food is excellent - and I'm not... read more English! The breakfasts are incredible - eggs, bacon and this weird pastry "Yorkshire Pudding". They also do AMAZING burgers!!! I am being completely honest - the burger was the best I have ever had. Really. It must be tried to be believed.
The team at the English Bakery Cafe were like family to me. Staff and customers all mingle and chat happily - like everyone belongs. It's sooooo difficult to find this in a holiday town. Initially I went there for the food and coffee (which is excellent too) but then realised that I was actually returning to catch up with everyone. It really made Maspalomas feel like a home for me.
You will have really missed out if you don't visit the guys at the English Bakery during your stay.
Nice breakfast at Yumbo. Everything is imported from England apparently and price is correct. Had a breakfast and scones. If you have hunger, try the stuffed one it was delicious
Visited with friends for breakfast and we was expecting so much better. I asked all my group what they thought of the food, nobody said higher than 3 out of... read more 5. The presentation was rushed, items missing but quickly brought out to our table but yet again, great example of rushing. Food quality, was ok but nothing to shout about. However, the day before me and a friend came for a late lunch and was blown away by the food quality and service received so that's why we thought to bring friends and to try breakfast.
Deciding to escape Winter lockdown, we booked two weeks in Gran Canaria over Christmas and had booked the dinner ahead of time. So, wanting to check out the place beforehand,... read more we made a couple of visits ahead of Christmas day and were never disappointed. The menu is expansive and the service is friendly, with minor changes to orders no problem, but the star of the show is the food. Sausage rolls are bloody gorgeous, the sandwiches always tasty, the home-made pies just incredible. So, we had no doubts about our first Christmas eating at a restaurant, as well as eating outside!
There were two sittings for dinner, 1pm and 4pm and it was definitely the right choice to take the later time. The previous diners were almost all still there, enjoying themselves and unfortunately had to move on as the tables were cleared and we could take our places. Everyone had made their orders in advance, but everyone was asked if they had any last-minute changes they'd like to make, which was a nice touch. We began to drink as we waited for our meal. It took a little while, but the entire place was served each course at almost the same time, a massive feat of organisation and everything was hot and delicious.
With no sitting after us, we were free to take our time, enjoying the three courses as well as the wine until dusk and gone, finally leaving full and merry. A very different kind of Christmas to what I'm used to, but thoroughly enjoyable. We of course made sure to revisit in the few days afterwards before flying home to the cold and it will be the first place we return to when we do go back.
Found this wee gem on our last day Home made scone was delicious... real jam ! Friendly staff C U in Feb for sure
Amazing
I’m sat here writing this as I’m having my lunch because whatever these guys are doing they got it right
The American Burger is the best thing... read more I have taste in the 2 weeks over been here and real chips the only place to find them
Well done boys!!!
Been here many times. What I like most is the “pints” of Ice Cold Tropical - they have the glasses in a freezer. Can’t find any place that does better... read more ice cold beer.
Also must say the chef (think his name is Jay) is super sexy with a spark ⚡️
Definitely worth visiting. We went here several times on our holiday. They have a great selection of food and drinks. Very good prices. Good quality food and drinks. Friendly service.... read more Great location.
We stopped off here for a Full English and the food was perfectly cooked and plentiful. The guy serving was welcoming and worked really hard on his own and with... read more all the tables full. Worth a visit!!
We visited this lovely place a few times in November. My son is vegetarian and fussy, takes ages to make his mind up! both of the owners were extremely patient,... read more helpful and pleasant. We all enjoyed the food, the scones were gorgeous.
Recently took my parents for breakfast. Food was lovely. Owner Steve was super helpful, and efficient and the prices very reasonable. Best of all was the lovely terrace, with a... read more choice of sitting in the glorious sun or in the shade, and such a chilled atmosphere. A very pleasant experience and a place I would be happy to recommend.
visited this place everyday day for FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST. Afternoon scone and lashing of hot tea, dinner with cocktails. These guys work hard and are always pleasant and make sure... read more you have everything you need.
I have known about this place on the other two occasions I have been to playa de ingles but always went to our favourite cafe, I NOW have this as my favourite cafe. Keep up the good work guys and see you in May 2021.
Finally got round to going here after hearing the reviews from friends and people I've met since getting here and so glad I finally did!
Tried the breakfast to... read more start with and have to say it's far and above anything else tried here, you get a proper portion of food, dont have to pay for extras that should be included in a Full English like some of the other places in and around the yumbo and proper English bread!
Came back and tried the Fish & Chips which were divine, real hand cut chips cooked to perfection and the fish in a fresh light batter (we saw the chef making the batter, you cant get fresher than that) and my friend tried the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger which was amazing! Again fresh and clearly home made with fresh coleslaw and which they said now comes in vegan format as well with vegan mayo!
candidates beware! This company does not pay its workers, I myself have reported them to the Maspalomas courts for not having paid me during my contract with them, it is... read more a scam! watch out !! also in terms of cleanliness and hygiene just to say that everything is quite dirty, the kitchen is a shame and they have a plague of cockroaches that already reach the entrance of the premises
We have been here a number of times, nice break on the way back from shopping at Lidl. The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. We usually... read more order a number of sausage rolls, slices and deep fill pies to take away as we have builders in and both we and the builders like them. Also stop for a cupcake and a drink while the order is being put together. They also offer a delivery service which was good as my house is difficult to find. Note this place can be difficult to find the first time, best to come from Lidl, find the Eurocentre which is the one with the big 'Secondhand store' sign, walk up to the top of the hill and go in from there and its signposted from that point.
Recently attended an event here and had a great experience. Both the food and service was top class and Sean was great to chat to.
A hidden gem
Gutted we didn't find it sooner this place is amazing the food is fresh and tasty we visited most of our 10 day holiday for the... read more best breakfast around
Genuinely the best food you will find at Yumbo by far !!
We had the British chippy menu and it’s better than a UK chippy. Home made chips, proper sausage,... read more chicken breast (cooked to perfection) and topped with curry sauce.
Staff are attentive, friendly and the standard of hygiene is exemplary!
This is a gem that’s not yet exploded on the island. Try once and I guarantee you will be regular.
Food is simply great ! Like home cooking in the sunshine !
Breakfast confirmed for tomorrow and will be sampling their huge range of home baking and coffee !
Excellent atmosphere great host and great selection of food and drinks
Definitely be back soon made to feel welcome
From entering to leaving nothing too much trouble
I very rarely leave reveiws. But I felt I must leave one for the burgers that we had last night. We had the Greek burger,and the Ameican burger, and I... read more can honestly say they are the best burgers we have had for years. They came with chips, and I mean chips, not those bloody French fries, that most places sell as chips. But hand cut proper chips.
Good freindy banter from the staff, good beer, an all round nice evening. I would deffiently recomend. And we will be back
What a disgusting experience!!!!
Four of us decided to visit this cafe after reading reasonably good reviews! Never again
1. Service very poor
2. After finally ordering after... read more 10 mins suddenly there was a commotion from inside with staff shouting at each other and expletives used
3. When our drinks finally arrived we were horrified to find blood on two of the cups, the milk jug and the plate that the TEA STAINED sugar sachets came on
Needles to say after realising this we told the waiter and we left!!
Disgusting and never again will we visit this place!!!!
We visit this little cafe/restaurant often as we winter in Gran Canaria.
Breakfast, to be recommended as always well cooked, quality food and fresh. Real freshly squeezed orange juice.
Roast... read more dinners, again great quality well cooked.
Cream tea, a delight and a must..
Service is always efficient , warm and welcoming with a nice atmosphere.
Very clean
Just a great all round place in the Yumbo Centre!
Visited here a few times and the food and location was excellent. Sean looked after us very well and was one the main reasons that we came back very friendly... read more and professional and left us wanting for nothing highly recommend this place I will be returning my next visit.
This is a strange place with a strange atmosphere. It all just feels a bit, well, amateur. Waited ages to be served and it was difficult to tell who was... read more actually working and who wasn’t. My pie was underwhelming and the scone rock hard. Give it a miss... nicer places to go.
We stumbled across this place and decided to give it a try. We’ve been back a few times and it was excellent every time. Probably the best burger I’ve ever... read more had and lovely fish & chips. Be sure to leave room for one of their wonderful scones. They only open late on Friday to Sunday.
