Bakery cafe with espresso, pastries, sandwiches & boutique
"Maman has a few bakery/cafe locations around the city, and the one in Soho is a great spot to grab a coffee or a sandwich and have a quick meeting with someone. It feels kind of like a small-scale farmhouse, and there’s a quiet little room in the back as well as a hidden patio that looks like somewhere you’d want to throw an outdoor dinner party. Have a quick lunch back there, and don’t leave without eating at least one cookie." - bryan kim
"You may think Soho is all just clothing stores and boutiques that sell things like designer bathrobes and candles that match your aura, but there are some good places to eat and drink, too. Maman’s Centre Street location is a nice little spot where you can order a cup of coffee and sit on some vintage-looking chairs in a back room that could plausibly exist in a farmhouse. If it’s nice out, get a table in the backyard, and no matter the weather, order at least one cookie." - bryan kim
"Maman is a French cafe in Soho where the white paint is chipped in all the right places. If your friend keeps saying, "I really want to go Beacon!" but you can't bear to think of traveling in a car for two hours with them, the vibes here will at least be similar. Try the chocolate chip cookie." - chris stang
"Maman’s Centre Street location has a whole range of seating options. There’s a full-service indoor cafe space, an outdoor patio with big umbrellas and tables, and a back room in the coffee shop area with mismatched wooden chairs and tables that are definitely described as “distressed” online. So whether you’re meeting up with an ex and don’t know how it’s going to go, or just a friend that you pretty much only see in the context of drinking coffee, Maman is a great place to sit and talk over cappuccinos and gooey chocolate chips walnut cookies." - hannah albertine
"Maman is a cafe and a bakery, and there are a few different locations around the city. The one in Soho feels like the kind of place where you’d sit down and plan a summer wedding in the Catskills with a seersucker-and-khaki dress code, and there’s also a back patio with strings of light bulbs and patio furniture you wish you owned. Not too many people know about their backyard, so it’s great for a quiet coffee with someone, and you should order at least one cookie when you come here. They’re very good. Even Oprah thinks so." - hannah albertine
