The whole experience was fantastic. The decor is so pleasing to the eyes. The servers are very nice and attentive. The person cooking the meals is a true chef. I had one of the best chorizo tacos ever. Home made sauce to complement was exquisite. The drinks were really good. I’ll return for lunch!

My wife and I had a great time at Maya Cafe!! We wanted to casually celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and try someplace different. This place is a hidden gem and I would recommend stopping in to enjoy a meal or even just a coffee and conversation. The vibe of this place is fantastic. The artistic decor really highlights the local talent and honors art. The service, food, and sangria were excellent!! Thank you Maya Cafe for making our 25th a memorable one. We will definitely visit again!!!

Love, love, love this place!
My daughter and I stopped by for Sunday brunch after hearing about this place on Facebook.
Wow - great ambiance😍
Since this was our first visit, we asked our amazing server, Adam, for suggestions. His knowledge of the menu was spot on.
I highly recommend the eggplant dip.
We are already planning our next visit 😋

Today I passed by The location for the first time, I asked my friend if she ever tried the food she stated no, but she passes by all the time and wanted to try it. So after our errands we made a visit to the restaurant. First impressions was that the place is beautiful. Filled with self made artwork and had an overall artsy vibe. The owners were kind enough to let us know that a lot of the food was homemade and focused on scratch kitchen concept. The service was immaculate and the food even better. Everything looked so good that I ordered multiple things even though I was not able to eat everything. I highly recommend maya burger, the eggplant dip, any of the iced coffees, and of course, the empanadas. I will definitely be back next weekend.

If you haven’t stopped in here, you are truly missing out on a one-of-a kind experience. It’s the details! Every time you visit, you will notice something new. The owners (a completely inspirational blend of family members if you get to hear their story) have put their hearts and souls into their food. The atmosphere is exquisite, from the decor to the French background music. You won’t find this blend of originality, artwork, and delicious food anywhere else.

My better half found this gem while looking for unique places in town to eat. We visited Friday afternoon for brunch and definitely not disappointed in this gem. Google maps directed me to enter through a driveway before the actual entrance to the restaurant and took me on an adventure through an office plaza. I'm not sure what it was thinking but be aware Maps is wonky.

From the moment we stepped in and were greeted, we knew it was going to be great. The restaurant wasn't too busy at that hour (1pm'ish) so it's not surprising for that hour.

The menu was varied with many choices and almost overwhelmed is from the perspective that we wanted to try everything because it all was so interesting. Our server was probably one of the best we have had hands down. We are used to having servers that just seem like they are burned out and going through the motions but this was the total opposite.

We ordered the Mayas Special and Prosciutto Bites as appetizers, empanadas, and the Street Corn Tacos, with the coffee flan for dessert and Dalgona coffee.

I can't pick a favorite over the two appetizers they were both delicious. The two complement each other well.

The two empanadas were crispy, not soggy bottomed or greasy like some that I've had before. We ordered one chicken and a spinach & cheese. The spinach & cheese was our favorite as it's not typical where you mostly find meat filled. They do have a guava & cheese that sounded good as well. With just the right amount of filling so it's a good accompaniment to the two tacos which we shared. And there's a really tasty dipping sauce, similar to a green goddess sauce for those familiar with that

The chicken tacos though were amazing. It's an outer layer of delicious fried cheese over a soft shell with a generous amount of meat and cheese. I've had a lot of tacos but this was up there on my list of to 10.

For dessert, the coffee flan was delicious. A very authentic style flan, springy and not too dense, but also not too overly on the custard side that makes it jiggly. The hint of coffee is not overpowering and gives it a good flavor. The consistency and texture reminded me of my mom's flan which I absolutely loved.

Finished off the dessert with the Dalgona coffee which was well made, not too heavy on the coffee side and topped over iced milk which is how I make it at home.

Our server was very attentive and checked up on us to see how everything tasted, and made sure we had refills without having to run out which is too common at most places. If I have to ask for a refill after it sits empty too long, that's a minus. The owner(?) stopped my a few times to check on us as well.

Overall a great dining experience that we thoroughly enjoyed. We are sure to visit again because it's a really nice ambience with excellent service and food to match.

The restaurant itself is eclectic with walls adorned with artwork, painted floors and recycled furniture which added to the uniqueness of the place. It was fun to look around after we finished our meal. Definitely a nice place to enjoy a meal and talk without that feeling of being in a stuffy restaurant and being pressured to get moving so they can cycle through the next guests.

This one is a hidden but not so hidden gem we definitely recommend!

The food was exceptional! The Maya burger and fried Chicken tacos are a favorite. Atmosphere was very hip and cool with games on the table to play with while you wait. Staff was excellent.

I had my eye on this place for a while. If you have EVER been thinking about coming here all i can say is PLEASE DO. It was nothing like you expected and better than you can ever imagine. This place is better than any corporate restaurant. The life and love put into this place is felt and seen in everything. The furniture and glassware to the plates are all so cute and unique that i can’t begin to describe how much i loved it here!

ANDREA was the SWEETEST and NICEST server i have ever had. She was so nice and i ordered all of her recomendaciones and was blown away. She was so nice and kind and i absolutely loved her service. Please know how amazing this place is from the views to the staff to the chef in the back.

An unique lounge/coffee bar/restaurant! Cool art pieces decorate the entire place and the food and beverages were delicious! A fun date spot or a place to just lounge solo. Also, Dayan, my server was welcoming and friendly! A must go!

I’m giving this place a 5 star by the feel and look of this place and the friendliness of the staff.
Well, on the way home I was craving a cup of coffee and decided to try this new spot. I see it often coming to and from work and didn’t even consider it as a coffee spot. It’s a tiny little building. I believe it was once a bank or something with the drive-through because it’s got the teller lanes in the back. What they have done to this place is really neat and different, it’s almost like a museum or a collage of different trinkets and original artwork. They have old car style booths which was cool.
I do have to admit, however that my coffee was not that good, but I believe the gentleman who made it does not have a lot of experience with making cappuccinos. Also, a little pricey, but that’s probably because I opt for almond milk which always turns a $5 cup of coffee into $7.
With the warmth and friendliness I felt here, I would definitely give it another shot, and maybe even try some of their food. You can tell it’s family owned and operated.
Give it a shot! You’ll see I had a blast taking pictures!! lots to see!!

This place is so cute and fun. Driven by a 1000 times and never went in so glad I finally did. The coffee was so good and is actual espresso. The bread pudding cake we had was magical tasting I don't even understand what it was but I loved it. The burger was hands down one of the best I ever had. Would def recommend stopping in for brunch.

Absolutely love this spot, sooo unique and fun!! Heart shaped straws, adorable coffee cups, the attention to detail is immaculate!! Everyone was so kind. And the food is good!! We went there on Mother’s Day and they did gift card raffles hourly for all the moms. I adore these hole-in-the-wall type spots. 10/10 !!!

After an excellent movie “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” we chose this place for lunch. From the moment you enter, the decoration is incredible and the comfortable furniture is delicious. 100% recommended.

This place is such a hidden gem! Did a quick search for cafes on my way home from church and found Maya Cafe and got so much more than I expected. The food here was delicious. I had a hot Maya latte (sweetened condensed milk and caramel) and the steak sandwich which was super flavorful and tender! Gabby and Andrea were both lovely and gave amazing service. The vibe and decor was so cute. Great for a cute lunch date with the girls or your significant other. The art in the cafe is all mostly the creations of the owner. They also have a little book exchange library in the back. I will definetly be back here!

Maya Cafe has a warm and welcoming atmosphere with a delightful staff. Andrea was our server and she was so much fun. She made recommendations when we were torn on which items to choose, and she was spot on.

We had 2 specialty coffees (Maya Latte and Banana Caramel, both cold), the Burrata, Spicy Shrimp Tacos on corn tortillas with the street corn side, and the Maya burger (Andrea’s recommendation) with Mac n cheese side. Everything was fantastic, we especially loved the freshness and flavors of the burrata plate.

We opted to order dessert and anticipated bringing most of it home. We ordered the Maya cheesecake and the Passion fruit Mousse. Holy cow, the passion fruit mousse was so light and flavorful. The Maya cheesecake was a HUGE piece and delicious. Both were unique items, and Andrea let us know they are house made items.

This is a place absolutely worth stopping into, but it’s possible to not see it while driving by. Comfortable, wecloming, good food, and family owned/operated. It’s always nice to feel sincerely welcomed into someone’s passion/adventure and see them genuinely enjoy sharing what they’ve created for you as their guest. The food was great, the smiles were real, and the tummies are happy. Can’t wait to go back!

This place is amazing. We went for breakfast and the food was delicious. They have several options of Mexican and American food.
The decor is cozy, creative, and inviting
The best was the service; I do not know if this is a family owned and operated restaurant, but we were certainly treated as if the owner with a great attitude was serving us.

I stumbled into Maya, and I was so pleased! So I can't paint the picture of this place so when you arrive, take the time to look around. The art is eclectic, and it's in every nook and cranny, so you'll spot something cool each time. It took me walking in, three times to notice the gator painted on the floor!

Dayama was the server on duty, and he was very knowledgeable of everything on the menu. He could convince anyone to order half the menu with his descriptions! After describing the Cuban and the Maya Coffee, I knew I had to try it!

Now the food....the hot dog was okay but nothing to get too excited about. I should have gotten the steak sandwich as recommended, but im stubborn, and now I have a reason to go back. The Cuban was really good and the bread was light and everything was very balanced in flavor.

The coffee is delicious and more on the sweeter side, so be mindful if you dont based on your preferences. The hot Maya Coffee is made with condensed milk, and an Iced Caramel Hazelnut is made with....umm IDK, but just get it? Lol. No, but really, they are both delicious. I'm a slow drinker, so my hot coffee turned cold, so I made it and Iced coffee by adding ice/water to the cup to finish it off, and it was still delicious!!

Hope you get a chance to visit and enjoy!!
