Cafe Mama & Sons

Went on a date here a few days ago and had a very nice time, the drinks were unique and weird - the food was tasty and the location is brilliant. The jerk chicken sando was amazing, I really liked the flavours and quality of the food there. Although we didn’t have any of the pastries, they look very nice (as can be seen in the photos 😂)

We absolutely loved this place! There are not many seating options, but it’s worth checking the place out even if it’s for takeaway. The sandos were perfectly flavorful and not too big, and the miso cookie was absolutely amazing. There are many drink and dessert options to choose from. The staff is also very nice. This is an amazing food pick near Camden that I can’t recommend enough.

Heard good things so decided to visit. Unfortunately the food absolutely didn't hit the mark. Got the mushroom sando as a meal. The sandwich was very greasy and hard to finish whilst the crisps had such a strong flavour of whatever cooking oil was used that they tasted rancid. I got the ube milk though which was pleasant.

I visited Cafe Mama & Sons on Kentish Town Road, where Panadera used to be, and got a bunch of things to try. The jerk chicken sando was okay. I thought it would be hot, but it was served cold, mixed with a mayo-style sauce. It did have a nice charred flavour though. I also tried the mushroom sando, and like a lot of reviews said, it was super salty. I gave it a shot anyway but couldn’t finish it. I got the matcha cookie and the miso cookie too, but both were really soft, almost too soft. The matcha one felt like mush and just broke apart, and the miso one tasted more cakey than cookie-like. The Milo chocolate mocha started off tasting nice, but even after mixing, the chocolate flavour disappeared quickly and it ended up just tasting like strong coffee. The Spanish matcha was the one I was excited for, but after the first sip the flavour really dropped off. It didn’t have much of a matcha taste, and the colour looked off as well. The matcha bar wasn’t bad, and the honey toast was probably the best thing I had. It wasn’t warm, but it had a great nutty flavour and the outside was crunchy and caramelised. Overall, it’s a cool idea and there’s definitely potential, but a lot of the items could use some work when it comes to flavour and execution.

Customer service was horrible... I wasn't asked if I wanted to eat in or take out.... I was offered a receipt or even made aware that my order had gone though.. just silent treatment and the people after me got better treatment, even got accommodated on seating arrangement. No organisation on delivering food either. Food was good but they messed up my order so I was kept waiting an extra 10mins. Customer service makes or breaks everything.

Lovely place I enjoyed it so much the staff were amazing and even went next door to get us cutlery. A little wait on the order but it was with every penny! Must try!

Ordered the breakfast sandwich and found a hair in it plus the meat was undercooked. The matcha with ube was dripping out the side of the cup and tasted awful. It didn’t seem hygienic at all. I left everything on the outside table and couldn’t eat another bite. Just disgusting.

The sandwhichs were awesome - a flavour you won't forget. The combo of crispy bread and the unique blend of pesto and Jerk Chicken leaves you absolutely gobsmacked you've never tried it before! You need to try this place out with friends for lunch - and grab the meal deal with the refreshing Ube milk tea. It's a good place if you want to try out new venues in London for decent prices.
