Where Culture Meets Coffee. Where Midday Meets Magic.
Tucked inside the iconic Museum London, Yaya’s Café is a bold reimagining of the daytime café experience—where heritage meets hospitality, and the flavours of the African and Caribbean diasporas come alive through meticulously crafted plates, pastries, and pours.
A Daytime Café, Reimagined
More than a café, it’s a movement: a place to gather, slow down, and taste something real.
Lunch, But Make It Legendary.
At Yaya’s Café, every item on our menu is a tribute—to resilience, migration, flavour memory, and the artistry of Black food cultures across the globe. We serve elevated midday fare with depth, identity, and soul.
- Afro-Caribbean Grain Bowls
- Handmade Pastries
- Third-Wave Drinks
- Signature Sandwiches
Each bite tells a story. Each plate travels miles.
Thursdays After Four: When the Café Transforms
Every Thursday, we extend our hours and reimagine the space:
It’s where Yaya’s soul meets the night.
Built with Purpose. Served with Love.
As a Black, women-led, social enterprise, we provide real employment opportunities for newcomers, refugees, and international students. We offer training, mentorship, and a space to grow. Every order supports a wider vision: food as connection, culture, and care.
