    Just realised there's a newly opened second Macondo in Camden Passage, Islington. As good as the one in Hoxton Square...

    Coffe & Cake

    Despite being situated slap bang in the middle of Hoxton Square this place is sheltered (physically and mentally) from the rambunctious drunken shenanigans that usually take place here.

    The coffee is great and the cakes are awesome, although 1 piece of the cheesecake has been known to defeat 2 hungry people.

    Its a Mexican place so the beers are all south american and they do a special version of a bloody mary thats tomato juice and beer which I hear is actually delicious. The breakfasts are really good as well - Huevos Chicanos or Rancheros is my fave.

    All in all this is a great place to meet friends however the beer and food are not cheap and there's no draught beer so if you're getting stuck into the booze then be careful!!

    It was a great and chilled place for lunch. The food was excellent, supper tasty, brought to you by a friendly service. A great place to meet up with old friends for a long chat accompanied with a coffee and one of those devilishly good looking home made cakes.

    Makes finding a Low-key place a piece of cake

    Macondo is a cosy friendly space and the moment you walk into this narrow room, with its hodge podge of low level furniture (leather sofas, stools, poofs and teeny wooden tables), you have the sense of finding a really special place. A wall of raw brickwork is covered with 'modern' artwork from the likes of Tom Hammick, and there's interest in every corner, from the shelves of home made cakes, to the hanging wicker chair suspended from the ceiling, to the bowls of salad, olives, tortillas and quesadillas. the home made feel extends to the hand written labels, and to the pricing - pick 2 of anything for 6, and finish with a wodge of cake for 3. The food is excellent and the portions are generous. Because of the small size its always busy around lunch times, and there's no space for standing room, so expect a fight for the comfy sofas!
