I came into Cafe Maya the other week. Absolutely loved the food at this cafe! Everything was fresh, flavourful, and clearly made with care. The menu has a great variety, but l chose the special Filipino lunch menu. The portions were just right. The soup was made just right with lots of chunky chicken pieces. Special thanks to Chefs Erika and Irish for making such delicious dishes. I’ll definitely be coming back—highly recommend to anyone looking for a cozy spot with delicious bites! (The cafe would however benefit from having some tasteful music to complement the cozy atmosphere.)

My friend and I were on our way to Macedon and decided to visit this cute cafe in Woodend a few weeks ago. I recommend this cafe to anyone who’s wanting a warm, relaxing and affordable experience. The Mediterranean and Italian Focaccia are worth trying!! My faves <3.

We recently (16 August) ate at Cafe Maya and really enjoyed the experience. We found the food and coffee to be of exceptional quality and reasonably priced. The adobo I ordered was delicious and my husband also thoroughly enjoyed his vegie frittata – compliments to the talented chef/s. The atmosphere and surroundings were very pleasant with friendly staff, lovely decor and a range of interesting products for sale. We eat at a number of cafes and restaurants, but this was definitely one of our more enjoyable experiences and we would highly recommend you give it a try. Thanks, Cafe Maya- from Jem

Stopped in at Cafe Maya after checking out the market nearby. We just ordered the scones with coffee and iced chocolate. The scones were quite nice but needed more cream. The iced chocolate was good but my husband said the coffee was a little bitter. The service was great so we would definitely go back if we were in the area.

Café Maya was a perfect brunch spot for us as we were hungry from a day trip to nearby Macedon. The staff were all welcoming and the interiors were clean and the food was delicious!! We had their all day breakfast and foccacia plus iced coffee. Over-all would recommend this café at Woodend.

Cafe Maya is a fantastic spot with truly delicious food and excellent coffee. Every dish was flavorful and clearly made with care, and the coffee was rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed. The service was top-notch — the staff were friendly, accommodating, and made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming.

After a disappointing and frustrating experience at Hanging Rock Cafe today, we drove to Woodend to try Maya Cafe. What a difference! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and warm. Our coffees were fantastic—- smooth and rich. The servers were friendly and genuinely seemed to care about customer service, which completely turned our day around after the earlier letdown. Highly recommend if you’re after great food, good coffee and excellent customer service!
