maman

Right across our hotel, we got to try this place t twice for brunch. The interior was beautiful, and the selection of pastries on display is mouthwatering. Based on their food alone, I’d have to say Maman was a pleasant surprise. The highlight was their Wild Salmon Salad, which reinforced my belief that the french know how to make a mean salad. They did not skimp on thay salmon at all. The omelette was OK for me since I preferred runny eggs. I’ve also had better croissants but also not the worst one I’ve had. While I wish their coffee was a little stronger, I quite liked the flavor of their honey lavender latte. Service was a mixed bag - the two ladies that served us were very nice but some I observed were a little snobby. Overall, I’d go back to this place for their salad.

Loved our coffee date at maman! Particularly wanted to shoutout the gentleman with the facial tattoos. You were just so graceful and have such a great aurora around you. You made sure everyone was taken care of in the shop. Loved our stop in, and even grabbed some baked goods to go a few days later at the Amtrak location before we headed home. Lovely experience. 🤎☕️✨

Went to Maman for a quick breakfast and coffee. We ordered two coffees and a hot coco. It is obviously very popular because there was a line when we arrived. Still within the store but still. There were open tables when we entered so one of our party sat down. Someone in line very rudely told us we couldn’t sit there because they were in line first despite us also being in line and them not having ordered yet. The tables were tight since the space is small but we made it work. Again, we ordered two coffees and a hot coco (pictured) and those were good. Not the best ever but good. We also ordered several cookies (chocolate chip and the raspberry white chocolate and rose) all of which were served extremely burnt! To the point the edges were charred. The chocolate chip cookie was just ok. The other wasn’t great. We also got some breakfast sandwiches. I ordered a grilled cheese which was extremely bland. I do not recall what the others in my group ordered. I would say if you’re in a rush, it is fine but not somewhere you need to go out of your way to visit. It was overpriced for underwhelming items.

I visited Maman recently and had a mixed experience. The pastries and baked goods were absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of the visit. However, the service was disappointing. I asked at the counter if I could simply take a seat, and the staff member told me yes and that someone would come to take my order. After 15 minutes, no one showed up, so I had to call a server over myself. On top of that, there were food leftovers from the previous guest on my table for the same 15 minutes. No one apologized, acknowledged it, or made any effort to clean it sooner. The server who eventually helped me seemed unfriendly, annoyed, and clearly not in the mood to be serving customers. Great food, but the service definitely needs improvement.

Went to Maman for a quick lunch. The place was busy!!! I lined up and finally got my turn to order but got to wait for my seat. Service was good, i loved my salmon salad and drip coffee. Atmosphere was so so, because of how busy it was, i felt like I need to finish my food extra fast. Anyway, if you’re in the area please check this place out :)

Maman will always be one of my cafe go-tos. I always come to their locations if I want a solid beverage. I recently ordered an Iced Matcha Latte which was a beautiful vibrant green color. The only con was that the matcha was a bit clumpy and wasn't whisked thoroughly before combining the drink, but the taste was still good. I've had their Lattes in the past and had a consistently better experience, as an alternative option. I also got their Passionfruit Lemon Poppyseed loaf and it was a bit too moist and very sweet. Thankfully, my unsweetened matcha latte balanced the loaf. I think some items are a hit, while others are a tad of a miss, depending on what you get. Overall, the ambiance and friendly staff make up for it. Regardless of my review, l'll continue to come to Maman for a nice midday pick-me-up!

I visited this location years ago and decided to stop by again — still such a cute spot! I only tried their signature summer drink this time (papaya matcha lemonade) and loved it. Super refreshing, beautifully presented, but a bit pricey at $10. If you’re into unique, well-made drinks, it’s worth it. They also have plenty of more affordable coffee options (americano, latte, etc.) and pastries that all looked fresh. The interior is cozy and beautifully designed, though seating is limited. Luckily we were able to grab a table and enjoy our drinks there. Overall, a really charming café in Midtown and a nice break in the middle of the city.

The worst Maman experience ever. I ordered a chicken wrap, and the chicken was literally fridge-cold. When I told my waiter, he said, ‘It’s a wrap,’ as if that explained it. Yes, I know it’s a wrap — that doesn’t mean the chicken should be ice-cold. I asked if this is how they normally serve it, and instead of answering, he just grabbed it and said they could warm it up (which they did… with the lettuce still inside). The best part? When I tried to clarify, another waiter came over and told me to calm down. If you enjoy cold chicken, cooked lettuce, and being yelled at, this is the place to go.
