Maya Congee Cafe

Welcome to Maya Congee Cafe

Every bowl, a pause. Every sip, a breath.

Meals here are crafted as rituals — using healing ingredients, rooted in tradition and intended to uplift body, spirit, and community.

Check out our ingredients stories.

Our non-traditional style of congee base is slowed cooked with a blend of white rice, brown rice, red quinoa, medjool dates, and fresh ginger (naturally vegan and gluten free).
