Maya Gourmet — Restaurant in Methuen

This dynamic husband and wife duo know what they're doing! The "gourmet" in the name is not a bait and switch, this place truly offers gourmet food, coffee and smoothies. Tried it for the first time today and it did not disappoint. We walked in and were immediately greeted by the husband and wife team behind the counter, with bright smiles, within minutes of opening. The husband is the mastermind behind the gourmet coffees, hand roasting beans from around the world. The wife, the baking wizard, popping out the yummy pastries. We ordered the smoked salmon croissant and bacon egg and cheese with avocado breakfast sandwiches. Hubs got a strawberry banana smoothie, and I got the caramel macchiatto latte. We had nothing but raving reviews about all of it. Best Coffee and pastries in the Merrimack Valley. If you want a place that gives you nothing but European café vibes with high quality ingredients and a happy face to greet you, look no further. We will...

This place deserves every star they get. My daughter and I enjoy going to bakery/coffee shops across MA and NH. This is ABSOLUTELY the best one we’ve been to! The place is very clean, and the food and coffee are top of the line. Everything is fresh, and you can tell hard work, and a passion for what they do, goes into every product! The owners are so friendly, and came out to talk to us about their products and their story. They have a machine you can see roasting their own coffee beans. The coffee is smooth and elevated. I have been all over the world and I swear this was the best cup of coffee I have ever had. I’ve had some pretty great coffee in Paris and Italy, but this surpassed those. Don’t make this place too busy. I plan to go back often and I hate lines. Haha! Seriously, give this place a chance. You won’t be sorry. Try the Pistachio coffee and Dubai croissant! They were amazing! (Excuse the bites I took before I remembered to...

I stopped here for a quick coffee on my way from Boston to New Hampshire, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of the trip. You can immediately feel the passion the owner has for coffee — he's roasting it in-house, and even offers a special drip brew that takes 8 hours to make! His wife Maya bakes everything fresh, and I have to say, the croissant was straight out of Paris — perfectly flaky and buttery. I also tried the chocolate donut and the chocolate-covered baklava — both were absolutely next level. You can taste the love and craftsmanship in every bite. This isn’t just a coffee stop, it’s a full experience. You can tell the people behind it truly care about what they do, and it shows in every detail. Can’t wait...
