    On a recent trip to the Louisville Zoo we decided to stop in to Maya Bagel Express before heading to our destination. We'd been by it a number of times and thought it was about time we try it. Maya Bagel Express is an order-at-the-counter, we'll-call-your-order-number-when-it's-ready kind of place. We took a few minutes to look over the menu and then ordered. While the menu isn't extensive, it has enough to handle your breakfast or lunch needs. My wife had a breakfast sandwich and I ordered the Roast Beef. Maya Bagel Express doesn't have a soft drink fountain but does have a very large cooler of beverages for you to chose from. Bottled water, soft drinks, energy drinks, and fruit drinks are all available. There are about a dozen tables and high-tops for dining in, as well as a few umbrella-covered tables outside. Our visit was on Memorial Day and we got lucky that the weather was amazing. The gentleman at the counter took our order and answered any question we had easily, and we had a few because it was our first visit. He helped with a recommendation and we very pleasant. Food delivery took less than ten minutes and our orders accurate and tasty. My wife's breakfast sandwich was HOT, so it had to sit for a minute. My roast beef sandwich wasn't heated, so I dug right in. My sandwich was REALLY good. I've come to appreciate the fact that Boar's Head meats, while a little pricier, are well worth the extra you pay for them. My only suggestion for the roast beef sandwich would be adding fresh onion and maybe some horseradish...but that's me. The restaurant was clean when we arrived and we saw someone come out to clean a couple tables while we were there. Our first visit to Maya Bagel Express was 100% awesome...and now we have a lunch destination before heading to the Zoo. While I'm kind of bummed that this is the only location, sometimes locally owned businesses shine well enough on their own.

    Stopped in for a quick bite, the restaurant was clean and service was quick. I ordered the bacon egg and cheese on a jalapeño cheese bagel and my partner ordered the lox sandwich also on an jalapeño and cheese bagel. My bagel was okay, I didn't taste any jalapeño in my bagel and I should have asked for it to be toasted longer. The bacon, egg and cheese were good, it just wasn't anything special, and for $11 I was expecting something tastier!

    This was a disappointing visit. Yes, I was cheerfully greeted and my order was taken quickly. But for a $20+ lunch I expected something more substantial. Sandwiches at Jason's or McAlisters offer a better product at comparable pricing. My pastrami was fine. All 2-3 slices. A thin sandwich. Served in a toasted bagel that was very good. I grabbed a bag of chips and immediately noticed they were a tad stale. Sure enough, the "Good Til" date had passed. Want a soft drink? $3.50 lets you choose from their cooler. The same bottle that'll set you back $2 and the 7-11. There's nothing inherently wrong with Maya Bagel. But there's also nothing exceptional. Other than high prices. I suspect their breakfast sandwiches are better. Hopefully offered at a lower price point. For lunch, there are far better deli's to support.

    The food and service never lack when I try Maya's! I had the turkey bacon, double egg and cheese on a spinach bagel. It was so good and filling!

    Back today and enjoyed a bacon, egg and cheese bagel sandwich on a plain bagel. Do not skip the bacon!!!! It was crispy and they put a great layer of it on the sandwich. My husband also love his pastrami lunch sandwich on a sesame bagel. Quick, friendly service. They move the line fast and the wait at the window was minimal. Seats along the window and a few tables inside and on the patio.

    Called my order in. Only took 5 minutes. There was a decent size line at 12pm still. Limited seating inside. Wait staff pleasant. Enjoyed my grilled pastrami bagel, plain cream cheese toasted bagel, and chocolate chip muffin.

    Open early which is great because I can stop by on my way to work, staff if always friendly and the restaurant is always clean with some music going! The food is always made fresh and they'll try to make it exactly how you like it!

    Nice little spot with seating area inside and out. First time here. I heard about this place through yelper reviews. Maya Bagel Express have been in business for 2 years now. There's plenty of parking and they have several bagel selections to choose from. They also cur your bagel in 1/2 so you don't have to worry about requesting for that. Once you order it doesn't take long for them to get your order. They cook it right on the spot. I have no complaints. Everyone was nice. Food was fresh, establishment was clean, no long wait. Even though there was a line, people were moving right along. Oh and most important they have an "A". They do have a restroom. There's a private sign for people not to walk through, but the restroom door is right next to it.

    Turkey Bacon, Egg, & Cheese on a French Toast Bagel
    Ashlee M.

    Visited March 23, 2025 I stopped by this gem while visiting Louisville, KY for a conference. This was the perfect grab-and-go breakfast before hitting the road. I knew this would be a good choice when I saw how busy it was for a Sunday. I was greeted when I came in and the server gave me recommendations since it was my first time here. I ordered the turkey bacon, egg, and cheese on a french toast bagel and I also ordered the BLT on an original bagel. It took about 5 minutes to receive my order and everything came out hot and fresh. The bagels were so soft and the flavors were great. I thought my french toast bagel was going to be super sweet, but it was very subtle. I was overwhelmed by how much bacon came on the BLT, so I ended up pulling some pieces off. Overall I highly recommend this place.

    Maya bagel express is a bagel based breakfast establishment located of poplar level rd in Lousiville Kentucky in the Germantown community. Located very close to the always busy Norton's audobon hospital I'm sure this breakfast spot gets lots of visitors. I'm big bagel sandwich guy and Lousiville josh doesn't have many options for that so I was happy to see this place come around. Stopped in here mid morning with the family to meet some family friends. The interior is rather small with maybe 4-5 seating options. You walk to the counter and order your bagel sandwich and bagel. I personally went with a bacon egg and cheese on a everything bagel and it was a solid bagel. I felt it was missing something like a hollandaise sauce. But still pretty good and the bagel was fresh. My wife and oldest both got bacon egg and cheese bagels and agreed. My 12 year old got the pizza bagel and she appeared to enjoy it. She ate it all which is a win for her. Overall a pretty cool place. Pricing was pretty high compared to other bagel Places and I'd like to see them make the switch to fountain sodas Vs overpricing bottled sodas. It's a decent trip from My area so not sure how often I'll come Back. But I wouldn't be opposed to trying again.

    I feel apologetic that I do not visit here more often, which has more to do with proximity. I…read morepromise that I make up for it with recommendations! This shop taught me that an iced lavender latte can be divine, and I indulged in one this weekend. Still delicious! I do wish they offered larger drink sizes. Their largest option is a medium compared to other shops. Parking can be tricky. It's a small parking lot so you'll likely have to maneuver parking on the side streets.

I asked my friend to come here since it was on the way to another destination. It is definitely a unique little building. The inside was rather quite interesting, one side is the coffee/bakery/market side. The other has inside seating. We definitely looked around and at the menu to decide what we wanted. They have a cooler in the middle of the store for drinks. Since we were in a hurry (to get to our destination) my friend got a bottled glass coke and I got bottled glass Fanta. The employee behind the counter was quite interactive and was interested in knowing what prizes we got after getting the stamps on the passport. I wish we weren't in a hurry otherwise, would love to have sat down and enjoy an iced coffee and maybe a bakery treat. There's always next time.

My friend and I…read morehave come here mostly for the Annual Books and Brews for the Louisville Free Public Library. This is not a place we regularly visit, although maybe we should. Our experiences have always been great and have no complaints during all of our visits. It is a nice quaint little place just off Grinstead Drive. The space here is decent and seating can be limited depending how busy they are. It's like being in someone else's home while feeling at home at the same time. They have seasonal menus like most local coffee shops do. I love their winter drinks where you get a small butter cookie and you can dunk it in the drink. Staff is always wonderful here and welcoming. We do love Fante's and plan to come back again, maybe not wait a year at a time.

This coffee shop is so stinking cute. They have coffees, smoothies, scrumptious looking baked goods and so much more. The baristas were so friendly and the vibe was just spot on for me. They had the best decor. You could tell they take pride in their coffee roasting. The place smelled amazing before you even walked in the door. I did purchase some Mexican coffee beans and the barista was so sweet asking me if I needed any information about the different kinds of bean. If it hadn't been closing time, I probably would've. I hated to keep them any longer than we already had. I got a vanilla latte and my friend got a smoothie with whipped cream. My vanilla latte was amazing. And I will admit I did have to open up my bag of coffee beans and grind a cup up and it was so so delicious. So the moral of the story is people don't pass by this place stop walk and get a phenomenal coffee and whatever you want and I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Don't let this place pass you by like I did.

    For those with ADHD and won't read past the first sentence...this place is a 9.5/10!!!…read more For those who read more than the first sentence...this is a service counter restaurant with no servers. You order at the window, take a buzzer, get your drinks and find somewhere to sit. We (a party of 4) showed up around 11 on a Sunday morning and the line was already out the door. We had a hard time deciding what to order because everything we saw coming out before us looked just as delicious as the last. After the owner greeted us and gave a run down while in line, we settled on the shrimp and grits, steak and eggs, bread pudding french toast with a side of bacon, and a chicken and bacon croissant sandwich. (I wanted to order the biscuits and gravy weekend feature but they were already sold out.) The girl at the register was polite but very soft spoken so we had trouble hearing what she said. The coffee was the perfect temperature for drinking immediately without scalding yourself, and the different flavorings and types of milk/cream to choose from was a major plus! There were no complaints about any of our food except the steak was a bit under seasoned. I had the french toast, and, in my opinion, is enough for 2 people. There was a bit too much whipped buttercream for me but I was able to rake off majority, and the fruit that came on top was so fresh! The bacon was thick sliced and 3 of my 4 pieces were cooked perfectly to my liking - not too crispy, not too soft! We all were part of the clean plate club after eating because the food was that good! I wished now we would have taken pics of our food before eating! It's a shame it came up as #16 on my Yelp search because it wasn't even the least bit on my radar for our breakfast spot. But luckily, the tag line, "The second best thing you can do in the morning", caught the attention of one our male guests Definitely will be back when the chance arises!
