maman

I really like this cafe chain. I especially love their tableware it creates a cozy, home-like atmosphere. I also appreciate that they paid attention even to the to-go cups. The coffee is pretty good, and last time I ordered tomato soup and it was delicious. My friends had a brownie and a croissant, and everyone was happy with their choice. The staff are quite friendly, and the overall vibe feels like being at grandma’s house.

While visiting my daughter during spring break, we stopped in for a cup of tea and a snack. This little tea house is charming! We absolutely adored the whimsical atmosphere with the greenery and vines weaving throughout; it made for a cozy after tea. We both ordered the London Fog with vanilla Earl Grey Cloud. It was delicious! Not too hot and easy to sip without burning our mouth. The flavors blended well together without being overly strong or sweet. Exactly to our liking. We also shared the Nutty Chocolate Chip Cookie (Oprah’s favorite things) and we now see why it made the list! The texture was perfect, crunchy outside with soft gooey inside. Perfect combination of chocolate chips to nut ratio. We tried to find a different location in Mid Town, the map gave the location be we couldn’t find it. We did happen upon another location on our last day, but it wasn’t nearly as cute. This location is a must visit! Service was great, friendly and helpful in suggesting what to order. Clean and well taken care of with several seating areas. Fresh water available for self service, which I appreciate.

While visiting my son for his graduation in May, I stopped by MAMAN coffee shop and bakery — and I’m so glad I did! This little tea house is absolutely charming. The whimsical atmosphere, with greenery and vines woven throughout, creates such a cozy and inviting setting for a relaxing tea break. I ordered the tuna sandwich and a latte — both were fresh and delicious. The sandwich had a great balance of flavors, and the latte was smooth and satisfying. Do note that it’s a self-seating system, so you’ll need to find your own table when it gets busy, but it’s worth the short wait. Overall, a delightful spot I’d happily return to!

Got their seasonal orange blossom caramel cappuccino, a poached peach danish, a chocolate pistachio croissant, and a cheddar and scallion scone. All of it was absolutely delicious, and staff were very friendly! The environment is lively but calming, and the faux-vines and foliage create a feeling like you’re in a little cove, away from the concrete jungle of NYC. Absolutely recommend! Can’t go wrong no matter what you order!

Outstanding service at this beautiful floral café! I absolutely loved the pistachio chocolate croissant, the pistachio olive cake, and the coffee — all exceptional. A must-visit spot in NYC with multiple locations. Bravo🫶

I didn’t want to like it as much I did. The iced oat milk latte is one of the best I’ve had. The cookie is undeniably great (the Oprah one). It’s packed in here. I went at 11am on a Friday and it was jammed. The vibes are just a bit off because of how busy it is. But it’s still nice. No laptops at any time.

The food and coffee were quite good — you can tell they put effort into the quality of what they serve. However, the service left a lot to be desired. Our waiter was not very friendly and seemed unwilling to listen when there was an issue with the bill. We had already paid for an add-on, but he tried to charge us again without really taking the time to understand our point of view. It definitely impacted the overall experience, which is a shame considering the food itself was enjoyable.

Food and drinks were great but unfortunately the service was not up to par. They got our order wrong, no refund was offered, so we were also charged for the wrong drink they gave us, tables were dirty upon arrival, and there is very little seating available. Clearly this place is understaffed so I definitely recommend checking out other locations as opposed to this one. However it wasn’t all bad. This spot still had a nice, ambient atmosphere and the inside of the shop and the general vibe was still good nonetheless. I’d still look for other locations however.

I'm genuinely such a big of maman. Other than the fact that it's always packed and you can never get seating, I just love the vibes of the entire store. The floral decorations as well as the packaging for every to-go order is just wonderful. I got the Nutty Chocolate Chip Cookie and I think this is one of my favorite chocolate chip cookies in the city. I loved the contrast of the nuts with the extremely sweet chocolate chips which made it feel like it wasn't super sweet. Also, the borders of the cookie were very crispy while the middle is still soft. Also, the fact that this cookie is under $5 is great compared to other places like Levain and Chip City where there cookies are now over $5. It's like the growing prices of milk tea all over again. Definitely will come back to Maman again, although I do wish that they had more seating or just less people as I think this would be a cute cafe to do work in.

We went to Maman for breakfast around 10am and it was crazy busy! We even had to wait and stalk out a table to eat, that's how busy it was! It was unbelievable! When we ordered the staff would not let us get our dishes to stay rather made our order to-go. However we ended up getting a table quickly about 5 mins. It was a very cramped place. The tables are small and literally directly next to each other. There was a long line to order. We ordered a croissant, cinnamon roll, and the Elisa breakfast bowl. And a mocha and lavender hot chocolate. The food is expensive for what it is. My Elisa bowl was not at all what I expected. I thought and was hoping it would be a warm bowl, but it was so cold! Literally all the ingredients just came out of the refrigerator, with the exception of the egg! Which I had to get it scrambled. So I was glad they were able to get my order right, as I had to yell my order to the staff as he could not hear me and repeated the wrong thing. Hubby loved his cinnamon roll and mocha. And my hot chocolate was very sweet. Overall this is a crazy busy Maman location so you'll likely have to wait for a table.

If you're looking for a bakery experience that will blow you away, this is the place! We tried the almond croissant and the cheddar scallion scone, and both were absolutely incredible. The almond croissant was buttery, flaky, and filled with the perfect amount of rich almond cream. But the cheddar scallion scone? Hands down one of the best bakery items I have ever tasted. The balance of sharp cheddar and fresh scallions was perfection, with a tender texture that melted in my mouth. It's definitely worth the trip--and even a wait if there's a line. The quality and care they put into their baked goods is unmatched. I can't wait to come back and try more!

I just had the most amazing hot chocolate! Jaime was super helpful with my order and really knew his stuff. Seriously, the best customer service ever!

The hot cocoa was delicious especially with that pistachio, unlike anything I've had before! The pastries were also very good, but maybe a little overpriced. The inside is very cute but very cramped, we got lucky to get a table but definitely don't count on it. The service was fine as well, just expect to wait in a bit of a line!

Maman always has great goodies and I love that they're a part of Too Good To Go. The employees there were very accommodating to allergies on food and kind albeit they were very busy as I was far from the only person there picking up a Too Good To Go order. They gave me a decent variety on croissants and other pastries as well. All in all, I would be back whether it's for Too Good To Go or in general.

I love maman and this branch was exceptionally great. We bought some merch online to pick up at this store. There was some snafu on their website which said our product was ready to pick up although it wasn't yet delivered to the store. The staff here went above and beyond to try to help us, even thought it seemed like a website issue and not their fault at all. We really appreciated their kindness. We've tried so many of their pastries and dishes. Their chocolate chip cookie, hazelnut loaf, and papa's bowl are my favorites. We always stop by to try their rotating seasonal latte

Maman has several locations in NYC and this location is pretty busy, especially since it's right by Rockefeller. Inside is pretty small, a long hallway down to a few tables on the side. It's fairly loud and not the best spot for large gatherings. You also grab your food and seat yourselves so it might be difficult to find a seat during busy hours. There's a decent amount of breakfast and lunch options on the menu as well as pastries that look absolutely delicious. I got their quiche sophie with a side salad and it was pretty good. Not the best quiche I've had, crust was a little soggy, but still not bad. I also got a side of their roast chicken which was simple and couldn't go wrong with. My friends got their tartines which were basically just toasts with toppings, and they enjoyed it. Also their matcha lattes are great! For the food, it is a bit pricey but it's a nice casual spot to catch up with a friend. It's also great for grab and go, especially if you're just here for a pastry. The pistachio croissant is delicious and has a light pistachio cream filling. Their cookies are also raved about.

Pros: The space of this cafe! There are several tables that fit up to 4 people so brunch can be properly enjoyed here. There is also outdoor seating! I ordered the milk chocolate macadamia latte and my boyfriend ordered the strawberry rhubarb matcha lemonade. I felt that the latte was overpriced but decent. However, next time I'd go for their regular coffee lattes, since the chocolate and sugary additives were a bit too much for me. The matcha lemonade was great! For foods, I ordered a quiche, which was just okay - I would not order again. My boyfriend ordered the breakfast sandwich, which was good!! We also ordered the creme brulee cookie which was honestly my favorite item we ordered. All of those came out to be a total of $45. For Maman I think their strengths lie with the baked goods. As for brunch, you can definitely have a more enjoyable experience at a sit down restaurant (especially since it's a toss up if seating is available when you get here), but choosing here for a pick-me-up for coffee and a baked good is the way to go.

Hello! I am periodically going to Jessica's office and am always happy with both treatment and service. There is no long waiting, Jessica is very knowledgeable and skilled, the staff is very helpful and the treatment works. What else is needed? :)

I've been here a couple of times and got a savory item for the first time. The quiche Sarah to go (seasonal) - it's apparently always warmed up when we asked. It was really good, soft texture, and full of flavor. $10 I got the Paris to New York pastry as well because it looked so nice. Not bad but it's basically a brownie base with some layers of lighter sweetness on top. The croissant circle didn't really work with the brownie texture but still tasty. $6

I love Maman. However, the staff at this location was not the nicest. I had repeated multiple times that I wanted my matcha to have less ice and when I got the drink, they gave me a hot one. And when I had advised that I had ordered it iced, she wanted me to pay the difference. I definitely recommend getting their crossiants and I personally liked the classic chocolate chip cookie. This is a must go to stop for me. Just an average rating due to the service.

3.5 / 5.0 - I've been to several maman locations in NYC, but this was my first time at this location near Rockefeller Center. I love the beautiful decor of maman cafes and their lovely tableware. I came here with a group of 4 after lunch and all of the tables were full. Fortunately, after a brief wait, one of the tables opened up. If you're not able to get a table, though, there's unfortunately no standing space inside. Others enjoyed the coffee beverages they ordered, but I tried the Matcha Latte ($5.5+), which did not have an authentic rich matcha flavor nor was it sweet like other Americanized matcha latte. It is conveniently located near 5th Avenue for a coffee break, but I won't be back for the Matcha Latte.

Search an amazing place food service and atmosphere. It was good. I recommend. I was there a couple times for one week.

3.5 / 5.0 Cafe maman has several locations in Manhattan. The interior of the restaurant has a calm atmosphere in a space full of greenery reminiscent of a garden . The patterns on the mugs and plates were stylish and different from each other.so cute! what I ordered was : ・Chocolate Almond Croissant ・latte ・hot chocolate

My daughter and I enjoyed a tasty breakfast here after attending the Today Show concert across the street. I had avocado toast which was a generous portion of 2 slices of crunchy and chewy sourdough bread with lots of flavor and a runny egg on top. Since there was so much toast, I wish there were more eggs because I like to eat the 2 together but what I had was delicious. My daughter had a breakfast bowl which she enjoyed very much, The servers were friendly and helpful and the decor was nice offering lots of little tables underneath indoor trees. Give this place a try.

So happy find Maman... the pastries were so delicious coffee was great. The order at the counter to give you a number or you can find a table and will bring your food and drinks out to you or you can take it to go super easy and fast. Small little tables not a super big restaurant but enough space for a party of two or four. Service good , I had some questions in ordering our pastries, and I could tell that the lady behind the counter wasn't too happy with too many questions. I just needed to find about food because of allergies. She answer my questions.

If I could give them 10 stars instead of 5! By far best breakfast experience in NY and in US! The vibe, the decoration, creative menu, staff's aprons, the plates design .... The list is long, everything brings you a great French vibe. OMG! The Turmeric Latte was the best drink ever!!!! Their simple egg breakfast sandwich is indescribable!!! The bread, crunchiness, the sweet and sour flavor, the sauce, brings balance to everything you need! I cant stop thinking about that sandwich! For sure is a must in NY! My boyfriend and I even emailed the owner to get the franchise for California! It was that gooooood!

What an adorable space! My friends and I stopped in for a drink on a chilly day and I enjoyed a hot matcha latte. The others enjoyed the lavender latte and the seasonal drink. They had a decent amount of seating inside - as well as an outdoor section. While we didn't try them, their pastries looked amazing - and they even had a vegan carrot cake.

Buzzing bakery in the heart of Manhattan. It looks cute and there's typically a line, so normally a good sign. Because it's busy, it probably affects the service a little bit, but not a big deal. What was disappointing though was the quality of the food. I had a cortado and a plain croissant, the latter being a barometer for me whether a bakery knows their stuff. The croissant was okay, but bland and lacked flakiness. It was a good size though (not your typical giant American croissant). The coffee was not good at all. Rather than a cortado it was more like a small latte in size, and the espresso was extremely weak. In summary: go there for the atmosphere, not for coffee or pastries.

I really wanted to have a good experience because the store itself is so cute but unfortunately the staff is very curt - understandably there is a morning rush but then my order was incorrect and I had to wait longer. I ordered an iced honey lavender latte with almond milk and it tasted so bitter even after I mixed it - weird considering the sweetness of honey and almond milk. I always see the shop and have the pastries are good but I probably won't be back :(

Been wanted to try this latte and it did not disappoint. It was worth the wait and you got a mini bag of purely elizabeth chocolate chip granola with your purchase. Service was slow but the staff was friendly. Loud inside but a super cute, trendy, and fun coffee, pastry and lunch/breakfast spot!

The lack of seats available here are for a very good reason! The pastries and food items here seem to be extremely top tier and high end while also not breaking the bank! If you're into 'instagrammable' places then this is one cafe in manhattan that you'll want to stop by Definitely try a latte! Croissants were amazing!

I really loved this spot! For some reason people don't give it much love since it's a chain / very popular. But honestly I really loved what I had: the nutty cookie and the mocha. Both tasted really great. And, the environment is one of the best in NYC imo - so well decorated and maintained. It's a lovely cafe.

I popped in for a quick bite and I love the interior design. There's plenty of space to sit and work or chat. I got the stone fruit ricotta toast and it was delish.

The Good - Clean, neat, nicely decorated. - Friendly service. - Very tasty pastries. - Mochas, Latte, and Honey Lavender Latte were all quite good. The Bad - Way too good for capacity. At 9:30am, the line was nearly out the door, it took at least 10 minutes to get our drinks, and it was only by sheer luck and ruthlelessness that that were able to get a place for our party of 4 to sit. - Coffees were scalding hot. Like "difficult to hold without a sleeve (of which there were none) and better wait another 10 minutes to sip at it" hot. But, yeah' we'd go back.

Good seasonal mocha. Vibes were nice, love the greenery decor, but smallish location. Quick service to go (except person taking order kept inputting the wrong drink, she was still very nice overall). Unfortunately they do not do pretty latte art to match their pretty to go cups (what I expect on a $7 mocha, since Blue Bottle next door does latte art for me every single time). I opened the cap to try to snap a quick photo before leaving but it was NOT AESTHETICALLY PLEASING. Also believe I was missing the advertised "jardin" topping since it was to go? Would come back for the drinks in their pretty china and to try the pastries for dine-in next time. To go is kind of sad, experience wise

This place is very petite but the best breakfast sandwich comes out of here. The place is always packed in the morning and it's hard to get seat. The staff are not the friendliest but the over all ambiance is unique for NYC. I ordered to go hence I haven't been able to find seating the few times I was there.

Nice ambience. Stopped in for an afternoon refreshment on a sunny afternoon. Ordered a sparkling Evian and the nutty chocolate chip cookie "Oprah's favorite" but it was too much chocolate and dry. The Evian was great tho

The staff was patient when I had a prolonged checkout process. The gluten-free breakfast sandwich was excellent, and decent value for $13.50. There were very few gluten-free pastry or dessert options, but they did have an oat raspberry bar and a vegan gluten-free chocolate chip cookie. I did not indulge. Really liked the honey lavender latte. The taste of the lavender came through strongly, but wasn't put off balance by the coffee. I took away a star because one employee was hovering over me while I was at a table waiting for my friends. She kept asking me how much longer until they arrived, because there was a family who was waiting impatiently. Overall, solid gluten-free menu!

Not sure how this cafe got such a good review. We went to the one near Rockefeller, the service is really bad! we ordered drip coffee and waited for over 35 minutes, need to go to the counter and remind them about the missing coffee, but they made us wait for another 10 minutes and told us they were out of it and that if we insisted, we would have to wait longer...we said no and replace it with just a regular coffee. They didn't offer any refund or even compensate their customer for the inconvenience and wait. Furthermore, they served us a cold and hard croissant with premium dollars! The cafe is very small, and we have to constantly get up and down from our seats to make way for others to pass by.

Delicious cookies. The coffee was warm I like mine hot and they did make it again for ne but it was warm. They are very friendly here. Mera's Tip: cookies

Amazing. The food, the atmosphere, the merch We couldn't decided what to get as everything on the menu looked amazing. Didn't disappoint!

Stopped by for some sweets and came out very underwhelmed and confused. The Paris to NY croissant was so disorienting. We were eating it and trying to figure out what was in it. It is a chocolate chip cookie sandwiched with fudge, a hazelnut cream of some sort, and a CROISSANT on top. Actually a Frankenstein creation. The employees maybe were feeling frazzled because they forgot our hot chocolate and to heat up our cookie. The cookie and hot chocolate were both not very tasty. The space is nice with lots of room to sit.

There are several locations - the one we went to was very busy though we only needed to wait 10 kins before being seated. The food was delicious - I ordered the tartine au salmon and chocolate pistachio croissant (there's cream in this, not just chocolate) and both were amazing. My friend also enjoyed her food. The interior of the restaurant is very cute and quaint. The wallpaper, packaging and paper cups, menus, etc, all feature a nice toile print, offering a consistent presentation. Their pastries were displayed towards the front and all of it looked delectable - would love to try more! They have a no laptop policy, as stated on the two little signs on our table. We felt a little rushed - I had barely taken my last bite when our server whisked away our plates and my water which I still wanted. Overall, would recommend trying this spot for brunch/pastries!

It was soooo nice in there, very aesthetically pleasing. I went on a Sunday around 10am and it was extremely busy (there were no tables available to sit). A bit disappointing but my honey lavender latte was wonderful, and my boyfriend got a matcha and a pastry that he said were both delicious. Tue proximity to Rockefeller center is very convenient!

After being so indecisive about my coffee order that I let multiple groups of people go ahead of me in line, I finally decided on the iced lavender honey latte. Then I read "Oprah's favorite thing 2017" on the card for their nutty chocolate chip cookie and I was like well... I have to get it now. So I did and have to say that Oprah's favorite thing in 2017 might've changed in the past five years. The cookie was fine; it was just underwhelming and I'm almost positive there were at least some sections that were partly underbaked. The chocolate was spread extremely unevenly so I had some bites that were just plain cookie and some bites that were overwhelmingly chocolate. The macadamia was a nice touch but not enough to balance the richness of the chocolate and the sweetness of the cookie (batter). I also wasn't the biggest fan of their coffee. It's strong and is not smooth at all. The bitter notes are very bitter and the lavender flavor doesn't help. If anything it only makes it worse because the lavender itself isn't inherently very sweet. The honey flavor is nonexistent so you're basically left with a floral cup of bitter coffee. It served as a good pick-me-up, though, which was what I needed. Their brunch options seem on the expensive side, but the storefront and interior are beautiful! Definitely paying for the vibe. They have a no-laptop policy but if they were to change that I could see this place being filled with aesthetic homeworkers hoping for a meet-cute.

Cute adorable hidden gem. Cappuccino was served in the cutest cup. A bit more bitter than I prefer so I did add sugar. My husband ordered the ratatouille brunch option which was tasty but the actual dish served in a cast iron skillet was legit cold. Not even room temperature. Taking away a star for this ... I'm surprised my husband didn't send it back I ordered the mama's sandwich which was really delicious, and hot :) would recommend. I just wish they allowed you to sub the corn focaccia for a croissant or something. We grabbed two cookies to go. A vegan friendly coconut poppy and the chocolate chip walnut. Both were delightful even room temperature. I would stop by again to try some of the other options.

We loved this great little breakfast spot. We look forward to returning soon. I know we tried pastries and egg dishes but don't recall which. Look forward to trying croissant and egg sandwich next time

This was the WORST experience I've had. I ordered 4 croissants and waffles . We waited 40 min for our delivery only received waffles . When I contacted the restaurant I was told yes they forgot all of our croissants. Then they said it was my problem and I needed to reorder it. Or I needed to pick it up with my crying 1 year old which is why I ordered in the first place.They refused to give me the name and the contact information for the management. She said the reason is they are busy, there was no ownership for the mistake, she didn't care. She then hung up on me and my husband who is in hospitality and has not seen such behavior from staff. Horrible will never come here or order again.

This is a beautiful cafe and everything about it is picture-worthy. If you download the app, you get a $5 reward, which I used on my first visit here! I got the fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and my friends got some pastries, which I tried. The strawberry jam almond croissant was delicious! I don't remember if that was exactly what it was called, but the strawberry paste in the croissant was not too sweet and it was almost like an almond paste. I enjoyed the bite that I was able to try. The grapefruit juice tasted fresh, was a beautiful coral color, and was refreshing. It was not sweet at all and I would get it again. Nice cafe to sit down with friends to chat, and they also have a variety of items to choose from on the menu.

My iced americano tastes like iced coffee. What a terrible coffee I experience in new york. No wonder this place has 3.6 stars. I watched the cnbc youtube video by the maman founders and came to this place. This place's iced americano tastes worse than Dunkin's iced coffee. Their chocolate chip cookies that were raved about are just mediocre. The seats are limited and the place is messy. The store floor really needs to be cleaned. People just stay here and chat/be on laptop for hours. Save yourself some time, energy, money and go to other coffee shops in New York! I can't believe I came here in my limited days of NY trip!

The almond croissant was the best croissant I've ever had!! The honey lavender latte was very good as well! The service was fast. It's a pretty crowded space. Wouldn't recommend the chunky chocolate chip cookie

An inhumane place doesn't deserve the custom of humans. I stopped by for a blueberry thyme goat cheese scone and unfortunately they had run out of it. Nothing else caught my fancy so they refunded my money. All good so far. Then I asked them if they had a restroom and I was told only if you buy something. Well I wanted to buy something and you ran out of it, so is that my fault. Nope. Not allowed to unless you buy something. Bad management and A pox on the house of maman and its management.

Was about to walk into starbucks but passed this cute place on the way and decided to give it a shot! I got a matcha and my mom got a latte. Both with unsweetened almond milk. They gave us cute little mugs since we were dining in. The greenery all around the counter/shop was so pretty and inviting! This place was bustling, but our drinks came out quickly. We sat for a while and chatted. We didn't get food, but their whole menu sounded delicious. OH and the PASTRIES!! Looked exquisite!!! Too bad we were full but next time we are getting one or two!

Great breakfast and lunch spot. Cozy, organic and friendly spot for coffee, bakery and quick bite. The servers are friendly, calm and not rushed. Entire ambience with plants and wood feel have a calming effect. Coming to food, flavorful - organic- light refreshing bite. Always taste fresh and perfect portions for healthy eating. Must visit if in the area.

I remember when Maman was just a single cafe in lower Manhattan. I remember being drawn into their white/blue porcelain, rustic wooden furniture vibes charm. Imagine my surprise to find another one of their cafes near the hustle of Rockefeller Center! Further research (whilst at this location and sipping on their classic lavender lattes) revealed that they have grown immensely within the past 5 years! So so so many locations! Loved their lattes and pastries before and can confirm despite their growth (almost chain cafe status), quality and taste of their food has not diminished. Can't wait to visit all their other locations!

Pastries were pretty mediocre and Americano was on the verge of being bad. The Chocolate Pistachio Crossiant is a cool idea and looked good but that's all that it has going for. Pastry was bready. Eventhough it's filled with "pistachio cream" you can barely taste it. The chocolate completely overpowered everything. Same with the Passionfruit Brioche. The dough was super dry and rather tasteles. The passionfruit cream inside had a decent taste to it. You get the passionfruit but it's a little too sweet. I do like the craquelin idea, if only the other components were better executed. I'd say the only passable thing I tried was their Oatmeal Coconut Cookie, which has a nice chewy texture and comforting flavor. Apparently, their Chocolate Chip Cookie is the star item so maybe stick with that to ensure satisfaction.

Actually shocked at how bad this was. My chestnut hot chocolate tasted like watered down milk and barely any chocolate flavor with zero chestnut flavor. And it was $8!! Insane. All the pastries were cold, hard, and seemed stale, especially the Nutella donut. The best one was the pistachio chocolate croissant, and even that was a 2.5/5 at best. The banana bread was hard and tasteless.
