    Maua Cafe is a favorite in Mbeya. Great people, mostly outdoor seating but covered. Books inside too. The food is great and I would recommend a milkshake for dessert!

  • 5/5 Mustafa Necati D. 4 years ago on Google
    An ideal place for dinner and lunch. Dishes are generally variable and delicious. Staying here for a long time, service is good and staff are friendly. They care about hygiene. As someone who has been in about twenty different countries, I can say that I have tasted the most delicious soups here. I have the "BAA" card mentioned in the previous comment. (There really isn't a card like that, and that's another story.) People talking without eating(there was a small meeting) can be disturbing for a sociophobic person, not just here, anywhere in the world. If you feel uncomfortable seeing people talking and smiling, I can suggest you eat in home.

    One of the best places you could eat in Vilnius. The variety, quality, serving and customers are the best I’ve seen in Lithuania. (Also good choices of background music)

    Nice enough place with friendly owners and staff. Breakfast wasn't anywhere near a full English but I'm a consumer of many English breakfasts. It was a pleasant enough plate and ok. I'd go back again so that says it all.

  • 5/5 Jeffrey R. 5 months ago on Google • 177 reviews
    Excellent burger, coffee, and carrot cake. I have been to similar cafes with similar prices, but the wait is often super long and the quality often quite low. Food came after 10-15 min and it was outstanding.

    7 EUR eat-as-much as you like lunch was good, including choice of few salads, soups, main courses, coffee, tea and desert. Good standard, and pleasant clean environment.

    great quality/price ratio, good food, swedish table lunch.

  • 5/5 Andrius N. 6 years ago on Google
    Keeping their class high by having appetizers and usually 3 main courses and 2 soups to choose from they get really crowded during the business dinner time (12 to 13) since they offer Swedish table. Despite the price being above average it is definitely worth it since you get really good quality of both food and service. And you never leave hungry.

    Maua cafe is a breathe of fresh air in Mbeya. It's a wonderful family run restaurant that is extremely welcoming and offers a more diverse (western) menu. Food is simple but delicious and great value for money. The location is stunning. Definitely worth a visit!

    Extremely cool cafe! Really cool atmosphere and extremely tasty food (also a good selection for vegan/vegetarian options) at an affordable price! ADDITIONALLY you get good tips for adventurers/activities in the area. I will miss the cafe after I leave Mbeya!

  • 5/5 Vassilis A. 6 years ago on Google
    A nice place, a few minutes by car from the center of the city, of elegant design to enjoy wonderful dishes of Lithuanian and not only influence. A good place for groups also. The served local beers great.

  • 5/5 Daniel De N. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good dinner, overall the dishes are well looked after and beautiful to see, the flavors are amalgamated with sauces not too strong, the salad with red turnip and goat cheese impressed me, very good, the second of average meat! Sweet eaten but not liked! Lager beer top (Original) Buona cena, nell'insieme i piatti sono ben curati e belli da vedere, i gusti sono amalgamati con salse non troppo forti, l'insalata con rapa rossa e formaggio di capra mi ha colpito decisamente, ottimo, il secondo di carne nella media! Dolce mangiato ma non gradito! Birra lager top

    If you are in Mbeya, in need of a cool and relaxing place which is also eco~friendly and quite affordable then this is the place to visit. Fresh food and drinks plus good desserts. No alcohol served however, you could bring your own bottle. Good for families with children because they have swings. Enjoy Maua Cafe!

    (Translated by Google) I was a bit surprised at the lack of main dishes at lunchtime on weekends. They were missing, as the waitress said, until evening. As a result, they offered halophyte and Caesar salad. For their taste and quality added a couple of stars. (Original) Был немного удивлён отсутствием основных блюд в обеденное время выходного дня. Отсутствовали они, как сказала девушка официантка, до вечера. В итоге были предложены солянка и салат цезарь. За их вкус и качество добавил пару звёзд.

  • 5/5 Matt M. 6 years ago on Google
    This place is a real gem! Tucked away up a little side street away from the busyness of the city yet still close to city center it's the perfect location. The staff is always very friendly and helpful and the food is delicious. Great quiet place to go to relax or study! Definitely recommend stopping here while you're in Mbeya!

  • 5/5 Megan A. 6 years ago on Google
    This place is truly a gem, went back two days in a row and will go back again. From the great quality and presentation of the food, to the warm & attentive staff, and the cozy, quiet & welcoming atmosphere, it's a lovely experience all around. What really stood out to me is how the prices are really affordable, especially for how truly delicious the food and drinks are. We ordered a wrap, and for 8,000tsh it came with delicious chips and an unexpectedly amazing side salad with a delicious dressing and a variety of vegetables! The cappuccinos are very yummy as well. Very kind and friendly owner too!

    Maua Café is one of the most precious places you can visit in Mbeya region! Amelia and her team have created a beautiful atmosphere with a garden full of flowers, good coffee, different kind of cakes and delicious salty dishes as well. For us even a gluten-free cake was able to have - thank you so much! In the middle of the city Maua Café is an oasis where you can relax, read, study or plan your further travels. Enjoy - we for sure come back!
