Maya Cafe Lounge & Gallery

The Write-Up

The full story

You spot Maya before you reach it: a hot pink building on Howell Branch Road, and inside the walls are covered in paintings and sculpture from the family of artists who run it. The kitchen leans warm and eclectic, with a Cuban sandwich, steak tacos, the Maya Burger and an eggplant dip guests keep talking about. Add a Maya Latte or fresh juice, and the cozy, colorful room makes newcomers feel like regulars.

District Story

The story of Winter Park

A park built for the winter, drawn on paper in 1881, and still legible in every street you walk today.
