Maya Congee Cafe - Fulton St — Restaurant in New York

The Pork Breakfast Congee was so so so good! The staff were incredibly sweet and laid back-- perfectly chill vibes for starting off the day. Ambience really feels like a neighborhood spot, with a carefully curated stock of East Asian and Southeast Asian dried goods lining the walls.

I tried the build your own congee with all the vegan toppings and was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion size and the range of flavors, colors, and textures represented in the bowl: the crunchy peanuts and broccoli paired so well with the salsa, all of which were balanced perfectly with the hearty congee. My mom tried the Maya salad with whitefish and loved it too! Don’t skip the drinks either. Can’t go wrong with an iced matcha latte with oatly and a hint of vanilla. It’s a sweet spot to pop in for lunch or soak in the sun from the cozy...
