About Maya Congee Cafe - Fulton St
A café built around congee, the Chinese rice porridge, served in a kitchen the owners describe as rooted in tradition and guided by care. The menu is framed as seasonal and rhythmic, with bowls intended to offer warmth and balance alongside rituals adapted for modern life. The café presents itself as a gathering place where food functions as a connection to culture and community, with online ordering available.
Founded in 2017 by Layla Chen during her early years of motherhood, and named after her daughter, Maya. Chen was born in Guangzhou, China and raised in Honolulu, Hawai'i as a first-generation Chinese American; her family ran a restaurant in Guangzhou in the 1980s, and her father cooked at home while working as a musician. She moved from a corporate career into running the café, which operated at 563 Gates Ave before a location on Fulton Street.
