Cafe Maya is an independent British cafe at 114 Farringdon Road in Clerkenwell. The compact, casual room opens early and serves breakfast, brunch and lunch throughout the week. Friendly table service, generous portions and straightforward prices give it the character of a traditional London cafe, making it popular with local workers, residents and visitors to the nearby Postal Museum.
Breakfast is central to the menu, with several full English combinations built around eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, mushrooms, tomato, hash browns or bubble and squeak. Poached eggs can be served on toast or with avocado, while eggs Benedict, omelettes and lighter breakfast plates provide alternatives to a complete fry up. Vegetarian choices make the early menu flexible for mixed groups.
Lunch extends to panini, sandwiches, pasta, salads and familiar cafe plates such as ham, egg and chips. Pesto chicken panini offers a warm handheld meal, while Greek, halloumi, avocado and grilled chicken salads provide a fresher option. The broad selection lets diners keep the visit quick or sit down to a more substantial plate before returning to the surrounding offices and attractions.
Espresso, latte, tea and fresh orange, carrot or apple juice support the breakfast and lunch dishes. Cakes and pastries add something sweet with coffee, and cannoli filled with pistachio or chocolate offer an Italian accent. Fast service and long daytime opening hours keep Cafe Maya useful as an everyday stop rather than only a weekend brunch destination.
