You won’t just stumble across Mawa’s Kitchen: you have to go out of your way to get here, and you’d never expect to find such a treasure in a business center across from the airport. But it is absolutely worth the trek (and the slightly steep prices). Mawa’s Kitchen is headed by Mawa McQueen, a minority immigrant who was born in Africa and grew up in France. She brings her heritage to this unique, small business, cooking up innovative and healthy takes on traditional dishes such as the bourbon brioche French toast, as well as tartines, French pastries and a lavender matcha latte.
