the terrace of Maybean Cafe, strategically located in one of those streets that seem to always keep a little fresh air up their sleeve, it is coquettish, collected and tasteful. Their dishes are also flirty, but not collected: they are copious and, of course, delicious.
The creators of Maybean Cafe do not intend to compete with esmorzaret, which in Valencia is religion, but they do intend to display other options with which to conquer the palates of locals and visitors. Brunch, but healthy and quality brunch, has a new temple in the city.
You have to go to him with an enjoyable attitude, an empty stomach and a relaxed spirit, the kind that allows you to treat yourself for hours to dishes like vegan waffles with poached egg, mashed avocado and homemade hollandaise sauce; or with homemade hummus, roasted sweet potato with fine herbs and chickpeas. The decision-making capacity must also be brought ready to take action.
The brunch you'll want to try in Valencia
In addition to coffee and orange juice, these vegan waffles arrive escorted by a chia pudding with homemade granola and fruit and some curious Energy balls.
"They are small balls but packed with nutrients, especially protein and complex carbohydrates. They're made of nuts, but they do not have any added sugar, so in one bite you get all the energy that nuts provide, without having to worry about the negative effects of processed sugar,” the people in charge of this cafeteria tell Traveler.es.
Maybean Cafe is a place of pilgrimage also for lovers of a good breakfast, with its toasts, its cakes, its smoothies, its specialty coffee roasted by micro-roasters from all over Spain and its fresh cow's milk. Attention to detail: “as a vegetable option we use high quality oat drink, special edition barista, from Minor Figures, and we do not charge the supplement because we believe it is our duty not to discriminate against those who choose alternatives to 'traditional' milk for ethical or health reasons.
Overall, Maybean Cafe is a place of pilgrimage for anyone looking for healthy eating options. “Our philosophy consists of responsible and healthy cooking without processing or additives, based on the concept of real-food. Our dishes are fresh, usually with seasonal products. We prepare the food here from raw materials, the sauces are homemade and, in addition, our desserts are plant-based, without refined sugars and, of course, made in the same place”, they explain.
Hummus Bowl, based on homemade hummus, roasted pumpkin, organic tricolor quinoa, sautéed chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cashew nuts and fine herbs sauce
In fact, one of their most popular dishes is chickenbowl, a glorious combination of baked chicken with fresh herbs, sweet potato, avocado, broccoli, cherry tomato, feta cheese, walnuts and peanut sauce.
"We think it's because it gives you more than half of the nutrients you need daily with only a quarter of calories, which makes it a perfect dish within a balanced diet. Plus, our peanut butter sauce gives it an amazing twist."
They explain that in Maybean Cafe they are flexitarians and that, for this reason, they have both meat and fish dishes as well as a variety of vegetarian and vegan options. An alternative to the Chicken Bowl? the hummus bowl, based on homemade hummus, roasted pumpkin, organic tricolor quinoa, sautéed chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cashew nuts and fine herbs sauce. “Just as nutritious and delicious.”
“In a society where fast food is the priority among young people, we believe that the sustainable future for food is healthy food.” Hence, Maybean Cafe chose as its location Algiros, a neighborhood of students and young people.
A cozy cafe where customer care is the priority
opened to the public in October 2020, when the trend in hospitality was to lower blinds instead of raising them. And they did it because they believed in and bet on a concept, that of a cozy cafe in which customer care involves not only providing healthy food, but also care about them and give them the best care possible .
