French bakery & cafe with famous cookies, pastries & coffee
"Normally, we wouldn’t report on a new Maman opening, because the chain coffee shop and bakery is constantly growing. But their new flagship is in the old City Bakery space in Flatiron—a huge, three-floor area with around 140 seats." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim
"Maman is a relatively new venture of Michelin-starred chef Armand Arnal, Experimental Cocktail Group's Benjamin Sormonte, and baker / designer Elisa Marshall. It's already a neighborhood favorite. The space is beautiful - light and airy with vintage Parisian details, the front is perfect for a quick coffee stop, while the back area has tables and wifi for a long lunch or work session." - Julia Guo
"A 7,000-square-foot flagship in a former City Bakery space featuring vintage French furniture, fancy wallpaper, a bar, private event spaces, and seating for about 140 diners." - Emma Orlow
"Normally, we wouldn’t report on a new Maman opening, because the chain coffee shop and bakery is constantly growing. But their new flagship is in the old City Bakery space in Flatiron—a huge, three-floor area with around 140 seats. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Will Hartman
"Originally founded in Soho and now with 40 locations across the U.S. and Canada, the bakery-café is expanding into a 7,000-square-foot former City Bakery space at 3 W. 18th Street (at Fifth Avenue) to serve as its flagship, due to open by early May. The new location will have 100 seats on the ground floor and over 60 on the second level; it is described as a dressed-up location channeling the South of France. Expect an expanded menu, a cocktail bar, private dining rooms, and fancy design details." - Melissa McCart
