maman

This place offers a delightful fusion of café culture and artisanal charm. The ambiance is both inviting and inspiring, with the café seamlessly integrated into the stationery shop, creating a unique and cozy atmosphere. The coffee is rich and flavorful, providing the perfect pick-me-up, while their pastries, especially the cinnamon swirl, are a true indulgence: light, flaky and infused with just the right amount of sweetness. The decor reflects a thoughtful blend of rustic and chic elements, complementing the creative environment of Paper Source, making it an ideal spot to relax, enjoy a treat or perhaps get some work done. Moreover, the location is convenient, making it a perfect retreat from the bustling city streets. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this spot offers a unique and enjoyable experience that's well worth a visit.

Alex and team were incredible! They recommended the new tomato tart by Martha Stewart and it was exquisite. Their customer service was exceptional, super welcoming and engaging. Highly recommend this location if you want to have a great start to your day with welcoming staff and delicious food/beverage offerings. I also got the new Martha’s cooking book of her 100 favorite recipes for her 100th book launch. Cant wait to make the tomato tart at home.

Such a nice place with great food! The inside is so cute and cozy, perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. JJ provided excellent service and made the experience even better. Definitely recommend checking out Maman if you’re in NY!

Charming spot with great vibes and tasty bites Very happy we got to eat at Maman in Tribeca! The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and stylish—perfect for a relaxed morning. We were lucky to grab one of the cool bench seats, which made the experience even better. We both enjoyed our coffees, and my spouse had the salmon sandwich while I had the ham sandwich (I ordered an egg on top, which was forgotten, but I wasn’t charged, so I didn’t mention it). The tall waiter was super friendly and helpful—great energy and prompt service. I’m not usually a fan of counter service since seating can be a gamble, but we lucked out. One small thing: the restroom toilet seat was loose, so I tightened it up myself—it’s an easy fix with a screwdriver and would be worth checking regularly to avoid issues for guests. Overall, a really cute location with delicious food and lovely décor. Would definitely return!

I came here with a friend for a nice spot to grab a drink and chat. This location is located inside of a Paper Source, so you can do some shopping before or after your visit! The interior is very cute and has lots of greenery and seating. Service here is good. My friend and I got their iced americano and their lavender hot chocolate. The americano was okay in my opinion (I think they burnt the coffee), but their lavender hot chocolate was delicious. Overall, nice spot to relax with friends and grab a quick drink or bite!

As someone who loves avocado toast, when a place is selling avocado toast on sourdough bread for $13 I PRESUME they will be putting some fresh real avocado on top and make it THIQ. On some thick ahh sourdough too. But no I get some panini-pressed looking bread with a thin shmear of what I am 99% sure is a pre-made avocado spread, like a guacamole tub you buy from the grocery store. The kind Dunkin’ Donuts puts on their “avocado toast”. I wouldn’t expect that from a place like this that’s seemingly selling higher quality products. My sister got the “papas bowl” which was good and saved me as I was able to salvage my extra sunny side egg and eat it with some of hers. However seeing the REAL avocado on her bowl made me question why they were able to give her a real avocado and give my “avocado toast” only some pre-made ish. My mom got one of the pastries - a pear caramel danish and said it tasted stale. I feel like this place has some good dishes but the bad ones are too bad to take a gamble with especially with these prices.

This is my first time here for brunch with my daughter and future daughter in- law. In the front of the store are cads located on the right side and all sorts of toys and stuffed animals that can accommodate a toddler to a young teenager . Then to the back left are baked items , beautiful to gaze upon and along with gluten free options too. In the dining area is a high ceiling with realistic vines on the ceiling and wall and antique Bohemian quaint decor. There are two couches on the right and you can sit two to three people with a coffee table serving as the table for food. On the left are family style tables with individual chairs. The food was fresh,good portions and was aesthetically appetizing. Our waiter was patient and knew the menu well and was friendly. I just felt like I was enjoying a meal in the comfort of my home with my family; even though it was a cafe. I would definitely recommend this place. Please be patient if there is a little wait too. It's worth it. I loved the toys in the front of the place because of the variety and was able to pick up a few items. I definitely will return to this location.

Good food. Papa's bowl was dry. Other dish was really good. Loved it mostly for atmisphere. Service was just ok, but they were busy, so no complaints. Good place, a little pricey (as almost anything these days)

The inside dining area was not available because they had a event there. That being said it's a wonderful place for an event. It has so many wonderful little gift items, I didn't think much of it except for a place to have a coffee. My friend ordered a couple of pastries and oh my God they were incredible. I had no idea this fantastic place was just around the corner from where I've been staying for years. Now that I know, I'm sure I'm gonna put on a few pounds when I come to Tribeca.

Maman is one of my favorite chains. Not only do I love its aesthetic, but I love their drinks and food. The pastries always shine so bright for me. On this visit, we needed more fuel before going to the Brooklyn Flea to hunt for some goodies. My fiancé and I ordered a ham and cheese croissant and shared the waffle. Our friends with us got a salad and the maman breakfast sandwich. I'm not sure if it was this location or if something changed, but it felt like the food wasn't as good as it normally is. My friend didn't finish her sandwich. Our honey lavender lattes were a little off. The food quality itself was good, it just felt like different ratios were used. Our server was a bit short with us. The people working the front were really kind though. This location is attached to a Paper Source, so it was nice to take a peek at the cute gifts while waiting for our food. There was a lot of seating available. I'm happy to have stopped by Maman since I love it so much, but will probably go to a different location in the future.

This review is long over due but we had an engagement brunch here with some of our friends about 1 year ago and it was so cute!!! The decor is very flowery rustic inside, and they worked with my fiancé to curate a menu and we were all super stuffed and even took food to go after because they do give you a lot! The staff was nice and organized and it's a pretty good place to host an event :)

Always amazing service and awesome food. My go to is the Americano with almond milk with either a quiche or vegan sesame chocolate chip cookie. I'll go out of my way to visit this location due to not only the awesome eats but the staff are always kind, attentive to every customer, and even when things get busy they handle everything with grace. Super clean and fun to look at the paper craft store that they share the location with!

The service here plus the exterior nesting and Paper Source store within all make this location 5 stars. The food was well cooked, nicely presented, & tasty I just realized they cut the potatoes differently than what's pictured on other reviews. I was looking forward to the other cut. The breakfast bowl is very filling! The seating is limited here & stays full and busy but as I recommended to a business in NJ recently, what's common and works well in nyc is they ask if you're ok being seated at a table with strangers to reduce your wait time. Like magic and you meet a new person if you want to carry a convo beyond an initial greeting. Very effective. Another Maman whose layout I like! Go, enjoy!!

We visited Maman for a healthy brunch and were immediately captivated by the charming, cottage-like ambiance, which created a delightful, fairy tale atmosphere. Often, locations with such a distinctive aesthetic can fall short when it comes to the food, but Maman exceeds expectations. The menu is just as thoughtfully crafted, featuring fresh, healthy ingredients paired with French-inspired pastries. My husband enjoyed the avocado toast, while I opted for the butternut squash salad--both were delicious. The lattes were equally flavorful and the perfect start to our busy day. I highly recommend this location for anyone seeking a cozy brunch spot, ideal for light conversation and a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

I have been to several different Maman place and this one did not disappoint. The quich was amazing! I had the mushroom and the butternut squash one. The hot chocolate and the lavender latte dint disappoint. I was here several time a week and noticed that they don't put hearts in my latte but once.

Mini chain Maman is always a good spot to have in mind as a back up plan. Their cafes are cute with their rustic decor (very Instagram friendly) and their food and coffee are good. The breakfast pastries, cookies and cakes are great and I like their lunchtime soup and salad options. It's not super cheap but it's not too expensive either. This location is tucked away in the back of a paper source store and has a mix of individual and communal tables along with a couple of sofas, it's probably the nicest one I've been too as it's not too busy compared to some of the other locations. On a side note I've recommended Maman to a few friends and acquaintances and they've all agreed that it's an enjoyable spot to grab breakfast/brunch that isn't exorbitantly expensive before a day of sightseeing.

1/1 Ambience; 1/2 Food; 1/1 Service; 1/1 Value Maman is my go-to cafe when spending a day in the city with friends. The atmosphere is always pleasant with the rustic French decor, the staff are always helpful and friendly, and the coffee and pastries are fantastic! My friend and I shared the mango-pineapple croissant and the poppy seed lemon loaf; she had the iced watermelon and matcha latte while I had the iced sea salt and caramel latte. Both pastries were delicious and not too sweet with well balanced flavors. my friend thought the matcha latte was okay, while I was overall happy with my latte although that ran on the sweet side for my taste. For the prices in the neighborhood, this was a great experience and we left feeling full and satisfied. Please note that this review is a couple weeks late, so the seasonal offerings may be replaced by their fall menu. Usually, their rotating seasonal offerings tend to be very well made and I'll certainly be returning to try the new items!

Beautiful atmosphere. Although hidden behind a gift shop. It would be amazing if they had a back alley or some kind of Parisian architecture. The food was good for a brunch.

Pros Whimsical aesthetics Serene ambiance The best Maman I've been to Friendly staff Delicious pastries Happy hour 2 bathrooms Large communal table Cons Zero

I enjoy coming to Manman for there great seasonal drinks specials lattes and matcha this time I tried the banana one which was delicious

Such a cute cafe vibe to get work done, spend time with friends/family, or just have a good self care day. The food was delicious especially the chocolate croissant. The service was delightful. When you order, they will give you a number to take to your table and they will bring you your food. Definitely worth checking out.

The cute little spot was a part of a toy shop and each maman that I've seen is beautiful decorated. I came in on a weekend afternoon and the place was empty. I got a strawberry rhubarb croissant. It was flaky and interesting. Inside was a block of strawberry rhubarb. It's sweet and earthy. The chocolate nut cookie was okay. It was sweet and chunky, but I didn't like how the nut flavor overpowered the entire cookie.

I've now visited a few times and Maman continues to be a great spot for grabbing coffee and a sweet treat. Oprah was not lying about the chocolate chip cookie - I typically hate nuts in my cookies but they add such a great salty, crunchy balance here. The coffee and hot chocolate were both delicious. The line may be long, but things move relatively quick. I will continue to visit.... over and over.

I've visited this Maman location a few times before, but it's been over a year. The previous experiences were great. However, when I came on 6/9 with a few friends, the experience was so disappointing that I don't think we'll return. We had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated, and no one greeted us. The breakfast sandwich was a letdown: the egg was overcooked, not runny, and the added chicken was cold. The almond croissant was hard and didn't taste fresh. They forgot my friend's iced coffee order until we reminded them. We also noticed a nearby couple waiting a long time for their check and a box for leftovers. They ended up leaving the restaurant because it took too long. Despite the restaurant not being busy, the service was extremely slow. It may have been an off day, but it was an overall disappointing visit.

The cashier was so rude lol. I hate when I go to a coffee shop and the barista/cashier was rude. This makes me not wanna return. But the matcha was so yummy and the Pastry we got a 10/10. And it's SO cute inside!

Was stuck between needing a morning coffee and it being just late enough for an early salad. I decided to go with both. I opted for the Caesar salad and a vanilla latte. The latte came in a big mug and was just right. The Caesar salad was kale based with huge chunks of grilled chicken, picked onions and parmesan. The salad was a bit bitter for my liking. The atmosphere was quaint. I'll give this place another try.

Maman is back on my hit list!!!! For a while I felt like they had gone downhill, but now they're great again. The pastries are beautiful, sophisticated, and yummy. Caitlin's seasonal drink program is inventive and delicious - I especially love the watermelon matcha which is made sans milk so it's basically zero calories. The breakfast sandwich is so so so good. And the servers are so so sweet. Today I asked one for a box to take my order to go because I was feeling dizzy and she went out of her way to take care of me and offer me seltzer and advil. She's blonde with short hair and worked on Saturday Aug 12 at 1:30pm! Elisa and Ben if you see this give her a raise :)

I really do love the chocolate chip cookies here. Crispy and crunchy, but still chewy in the middle, but SO MUCH chocolate, like how is there more chocolate than cookie, but also why do I love it so much, and I know I shouldn't have the whole thing, but I inhale it all the same, and then I buy some for later, and I eat all of those too...I am glad I don't live in the city anymore. maman is just dangerous!

Not sure if there is an understaffing or wage issue but the last few times I have come to this place- the service was atrocious. I ordered a basic hot coffee and the barrister was SO insanely lazy that he did not even mix my drink nor care to put it in the mamans cup. It wasn't until the other worker told him, that he realized he did it wrong. This has not been the first instance. The price is not worth the shitty service and the B rating food. Don't be fooled by the ambiance.

I am a huge fan of MAMAN BRAND and this location just as wonderful. Delicious menu choices, lovely ambiance and good service.

Cute cafe spot. It says that it's not laptop friendly but I did see a few people with laptops there. There are a few tables to eat at and it wasn't too full even during weekday lunch time. If you download their app, you get $5 off the first order. Raquel Caesar Salad ($15) - pretty large salad, with generous amounts of chicken. The chicken is crusted in seasoning, so it's a lot of flavor on the outside parts. It's kale with a lot of dressing so not a very crunchy salad.

Beauty brunch in Greenwich If you picture yourself 'brunching' in a little French tea garden or greenhouse complete with charming wares to browse and shop for while you wait, Maman is the place. Beautiful setting and ambience. Feels like you've been invited by Daisy for a full Gatsby-style tea. Except more casual and less drama. But just as lovely. We ordered the smashed avocado toast...lovely. The pastries were as close to French as you get stateside. The coffees were the best part. Honey Lavender Latte and Chai Latte were hits. Overall, just a delightful experience in the heart of NYC

(Overall: 90% | A) - I ordered this Avocado Tartine that pairs an avocado spread with diced tomatoes and onion and a fried egg. I love the elegance in presentation that pairs an optional chili flake, flake salt, pumpkin seed, and lime for seasoning customization. The overall toast I found to be pleasant, although I think there can be some minor improvements in the texture of the bread by toasting for a longer period of time and also emphasizing the avocado flavor given that it is an avocado tartine. The service was reasonable and the shop itself is incredibly cute, which I would recommend as a nice place to hang out.

Maman is like a picture-perfect location for all your Instagram posts. There are flowers and rustic country furniture, making this place well-decorated and flawless. The decor and ambience alone deserves 5 stars, however, the food is not up to par. The service was fantastic. I had a lovely server who made sure I was taken care of off. But, the food could have been better. I ordered the make your omelette. It's simple enough, right? But, they have an extensive menu and it could have been what I ordered. I am certain I would come back, if I am in the area. Upon entry there is a gift shop. It's adorable. If you don't want to dine it, you can easily order a French pastry and a cup of coffee before entering the restaurant. Maybe like 3 something stars almost 4.

Like the SoHo location, this Maman is adjacent to a Paper Source store (in fact, it's in the back of one). My boyfriend and I walked in on a rainy weekend and got a seat at the communal table after about 5 minutes. Butterfly pea flower latte (seasonal special) was great, and the Tawni salad was awesome. My BF also loved the Rabbit Hole.

Love a maman location and this one is no different. Solid coffee and brunch items. Also the vibes are immaculate in every maman I'm in which sells it.

Very cute interior, loved their decoration. Service was great and quick. Food was delicious 5/5. I got the Almond Chocolate Croissant; definitely recommend it. We also tried the Maman Sandwich, great mix of flavors and it has a sweet touch. We got Ice coffees; one black and one with vanilla and almond milk. Coffee was good but not great. Highly recommend if you are craving a coffee and some pastries or lunch!

The food was delicious I ordered the papa breakfast bowl everything was perfect. I had a great server Justin he was very helpfu. All the staff was very friendly.

Maman provides a very good breakfast, and a cool environment for meeting a friend (or two or three). No friends? No worries, communal seating, a and no-laptop policy low-key encourages you to socialize. I ordered: - Pistachio Croissant - Papa's Breakfast Bowl - Cappuccino For the croissant They did not skimp on the cream in the slightest! It was filled to the extent I always hope chocolate croissants are! Plus the cream wasn't overly saccharine. It was, unfortunately, quite cold though, so the flavors could quite shine through. Now, the croissant was fairly light, but it didn't quite have the lightness flakiness, and airiness found in some french bakeries. Notwithstanding, when you add the rather dense cream, this takes away from its light consistency. Where it comes to the Papa's Breakfast Bowl, this was a simple dish with some interesting touches. The potatoes were seasoned and cooked nicely, though didn't have any crispness. The bourbon bacon jam and chipotle aioli were nice touches to help bring more dimensions to the potatoes. The egg and avocado, meanwhile, were nothing extraordinary. Finally, the cappuccino was very good. It was strong, and the coffee seemed to be balanced in terms of acidity/bitterness. While overall I wasn't blown away, Maman fit the bill by providing a very solid breakfast and a nice vibe.

Hayden and Robin are both incredible at this location and they both have great hair! Will be visiting again soon.

A lot of hype so we wanted to try while in NYC for the weekend. Disappointing. The coffee tasted overdone as if the beans are overly roasted. Pastries were not fresh, a little stale, and you must ask to have them warmed up (they'll not offer it). Also if you'd rather have your latte on a porcelain cup or mug you must explain that to them, they won't understand what that is on the first try.

Ambience of this place wins my heart over, but the food could be better, solid 3.5! Food: they have a extensive menu! We started off with the pastry basket, which had three 'pastries' - 2 cookies and a Nutella bun thing! They were all really delicious, I just wish instead of cookies, they gave us actual pastries. I ordered the harvest bowl, which I do not recommend. It's just potatoes and brussel sprouts and even though it's a large portion, that is really hard to get excited about! The Labneh was good, but just not enough for me to care for it enough Drinks: I got the cappuccino and it was good and strong! Price: reasonable brunch spot in nyc Ambience: such a pretty place to eat. They have a garden like thing and they have rabbit figurines, it's all a very cool angelic/ garden vibe!

We came here for brunch at the start of our ladies' weekend and it's such a cute spot!! The front of the cafe is actually a Paper Source store but Maman and the store match aesthetics surprisingly well. There's a cute flower garden theme with lots of wood furniture and climbing vines all over the walls. The store half is separated from the restaurant by a tall archway. The outdoor dining also matches the theme, and there's even a table for 4 with a swinging bench as seating (couldn't figure out if this was just decoration or for real...) We all got the papa's breakfast bowl and it was a++. The bourbon bacon jam and the chipotle mayo were such a great combo. The bulk of the bowl is a ton of well roasted slices/fingerling potatoes with crispy skin so it's super filling. You can add on bacon as extra protein and get salt and pepper shakers so you can season to your liking. For the vibes and food, I'd definitely come back!

Such a beautiful place to have brunch in. Whether you want to stay inside enjoying your toast or sipping coffee outside, this is what a top brunch spot looks like. Staff were attentive and were polite.

The interior here alone is worth coming for - it makes for such a lovely brunch spot with friends or for self-studying. I definitely think it's a laptop friendly work environment. I got the pistachio chocolate pastry and thought the white chocolate / pistachio filling inside was absolutely scrumptious. It's not too strong in pistachio flavor. The breakfast sandwich was also very filling and tasty; there was a hint of barbecue sauce taste in the sandwich that I thought was interesting. I didn't love my honey lavender latte at first because I think all the honey sank to the bottom, but I got a to-go cup to drink on my way out for it and after mixing the drink, I thought it was tasty too. Had great service too!

Our experience at this café was astoundingly poor. The staff at the cash register demonstrated a shocking lack of basic customer service, coupled with discriminatory behavior. To make matters worse, when a drink was accidentally spilled, not a single staff member came to help. We were handed a few tissues to clean it ourselves, a task no customer should be expected to perform. This establishment has shown a complete disregard for customer satisfaction and basic decency. Despite decent food and ambiance, the service was horrendous. I strongly suggest you avoid this café - your time, respect, and money are better spent elsewhere.

Maman draws you in with their beautiful decor, but I've eaten at several of their locations now and find it consistently mediocre. This particular location shares a space with a cute stationery store in front. The space itself is beautiful - rustic furniture, flowers and greenery on the walls, making you feel like you're in an indoor garden. I was here with a large group (11 people) so it was considered an "event" requiring a prix fixe menu. We chose our preferred pastries and savory dishes from a list ahead of time. When we arrived, the pastries were already set on the table, tea party style, along with some beautiful dishware. We had the matcha croissants, Nutella beignets, pistachio loaf cake, and cookies. The croissants and pistachio cake were the best of the selection. All were incredibly sweet, especially the beignets. The other dishes we chose were yogurt and granola parfaits, croque mamans, and smoke salmon sandwiches. These were served to us throughout our meal. The yogurt parfait was beautifully presented, but SO sweet - there was way too much honey in it. The croque maman (ham and cheese grilled toast) was great. Smoked salmon sandwiches were fine but by then we were all stuffed and on a sugar high. Service was pretty lackluster considering the cost. I don't think anyone checked on us even once to ask how our meal was going, nor were our water carafes refilled. I literally spent about half the meal trying to flag down someone to refill the water and eventually just gave up.

Maman is a cute NY based Cafe bakery, I've seen few different locations during my stay in Manhattan. Came here but I was in hurry so I took my sandwiches to go. We ordered their Basil Aioli Chicken Sandwich and it was huge and absolutely delicious, it can easily feed 2. The chicken was juicy and not dry, but the sandwich itself was slightly soggy because of the aioli and tomatoes. I actually didn't mind that but I had to eat the sandwich quick while it's still had a firm texture. The smoked salmon toast was great too, u absolutely loved the pickled onions on them. The toast also was very crispy by itself, you can tell it's made out of great ingredients. Will definitely come here again

What would possess them to make this layout? Cramped, crowded, have to pass through all the paper retail to get to the cafe section but the line goes through the detail part of the store

Decided to grab brunch at Maman. It's a really cute place with a stationery shop in the front. When I first got there, I thought I was in the wrong place but quickly realized that I wasn't! We ordered the Rabbit Hole and Papa's Breakfast Bowl, as well as the seasonal cappuccino. I really liked the Rabbit Hole -- it was a great mix of savory and crunchy (from the toasted bread bowl). Service was a bit slow but food was good :)

Beautiful place inside. Service was satisfactory. Yet, price level not worth the portions. I got a 16 dollar chicken sandwich and there was two strips of chicken on it. Added a very sad side of greens for 4 dollars. And then a 4 dollar earl gray tea. Didn't even come in a cute pot as I would expect from a feminine french-ish lunch place. I just expected more care and attention to detail. I essentially had a very expensive baguette for lunch. At least it was a good baguette? But I'd say pass on Maman. You're better off at Pret A Manger for way less and equal quality....and more chicken.

Pistachio cake was little dry but likely since we were there right before the store closes. The other croissant type of backed stuff was very delicious! Very rich and buttery! The table was not cleaned but overall the cafe was clean. Obsessed with their paper cup design but we got a regular plastic cup because we ordered ice americano.

Great food and ambiance. Accommodated a large group easily. Enjoyed all of our food and drinks this plus the excellent service

This place had a very nice atmosphere. It was very flowery and whimsical. The food was also very good. I got a quiche that I really enjoyed. It had eggplant, squash, cheeses, among other things. I got it with the mixed greens as an add on. The dressing for the mixed greens was yummy. The hash browns were extra crispy. They were flavored well, but for me they were a little too crispy. I don't think I was fully able to appreciate the flavor because of it. I was told from my friends the rabbit hole was really great, as well as the lavender hot chocolate. The food was good. I would probably go back for sure!

The mango Matcha is absolutely fire. This location is super chill and the decor is top notch. The staff is always pleasant and I'm always greeted right away.

Stopped in for brunch while visiting Tribeca. The inside and outdoor seating are cute. I tried the Cappuccino, the Smashed Avocado Tartine, and the Quiche Agathe. The Cappuccino tasted like a standard cappuccino. The Smashed Avocado Tartine was amazing. The country bread was fresh and had a perfect bite and crunch to it. The ingredients used in the dish were fresh, and the deconstructed nature of the pumpkin seeds, salt, and chili flakes were perfect for finishing the dish to personal taste. The lemon and smoked salmon also complement the dish nicely. The dish was balanced and flavorful, creating a perfect avocado toast. I also tried the Quiche with vegetables and cheddar cheese. It tasted good and the quiche was cooked well. Overall, I was happy with the ambiance, nice outdoor seating, and perfectly prepared food. The pastries and other brunch dishes also looked great. I look forward to coming back to Maman when I'm in the area.

I came in on 6/24. Just want to mentioned that the decor is absolutely beautiful. It was a little bit hot in there but the drinks definitely made up for it. We opted out on the Bali Bebe an absolutely delicious cocktail with gin,Matcha and lemongrass syrup. Our food was incredible and the girl served us. I believe her name is Cali was extremely nice. Thanks, We will be back.
