About Cafe Maya
Cafe Maya is a small cafe in London at 114 Farringdon Rd, run by owners who are present on site. The breakfast menu uses numbered options, such as the No5 breakfast, so a table can order by number. Smashed avocado with poached eggs on toast sits alongside them for those who want something lighter. The wider menu covers meat, vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free choices, plus sweets and drinks, so a mixed group can find something each. Coffee is Lavazza, and the drinks list also includes fresh fruit juice and iced coffee. Bookings are taken by phone.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the draw at this small Farringdon Road cafe, and reviewers single out the English breakfast, a numbered breakfast plate and smashed avocado with poached eggs on toast, served hot and in generous portions. Close behind is the speed and warmth of the service, with diners repeatedly describing being seated straight away and food arriving quickly from friendly staff and a hospitable owner. Reasonable prices for the portion sizes come up again and again, and one visitor says they had less breakfast for more money elsewhere. Also mentioned are Lavazza coffee, fresh fruit juice, iced coffee and meat, vegan, vegetarian and gluten free choices. Reviewers raise almost nothing negative, though one says the cafe was difficult to contact in advance. That same reviewer found it very accommodating when they called the day before and took a booking for a post wedding brunch.
