    Food/coffee: 5 stars Service: 0 stars The almond latte and wrap I ordered were amazing. The service I received was horrible. Make sure you don't ask any questions or you'll be subjected to eye rolls and rude responses. Also apparently shortening your name to "A" rather than your full name is also grounds for receiving childish catty behavior from the rude cashier.

    Quiches
    Lilith L.

    Love Maman, but have a soft spot for this location. The coffee is always amazingly made courtesy of Gless and Gabe (thanks for holding the mornings down with perfect cappuccinos) and Sandy's quick to help with a smile and snack recommendations. Recent snack faves include the cherry croissant cube and the MS triple citrus Bundt cake, but you really can't go wrong with any of the pastries.

    martine's steak sandwich
    Eric S.

    Tipping on takeout gets you entire entrees missing from your order here. Food was okay, surprisingly the eggs ratatouille was solid, but the steak sandwich (originally left out of my order, until I called and walked back for it), was pretty mid, way too much acid and very mid steak.

    pistachio croissant with chocolate and everything croissant
    Marisa M.

    I had no idea there was a maman here! I came in for breakfast on the way to the train and there was a line of about 10 people in front of me, so pretty busy. It's a nice big airy space with plenty of tables and a bathroom in the back. Only two people were working and It seemed like they could have used another set of hands. The quiche was delicious and pretty big. I liked how they heated it up and it got caramelized on the top. It did take 20 minutes though. They have so many pastry's! I been to maman in the city before and the location I went to was smaller and barely had 10% of what this location has. Everything was so fresh. The everything croissant melted in my mouth. It was crispy and flakey and then soft and very rich and buttery. The pistachio chocolate croissant was also just so light and easy to eat, taking one bite it all just melted in my mouth. I will say that the pistachio wasn't as strong as I would have liked it. Next time I want to try the pumpkin croissant thing which looked liked a tower of croissant with merengue on top. I got the matcha pumpkin latter iced and it tasted watered down and too sweet. But I did like the touch of pumpkin to it, I never thought matcha and pumpkin would go together. I wish also that they had the iced drinks in the mason jar like they have pictures of on the menu. Other than some small details this place is excellent for a satisfying breakfast.

    I really like this place, I've been here a couple of times already and so far they have not disappoint me. Their coffee is really good and so is their olive cake. I just wish it did t have that many calories lol, but I eat it still. The service is great, the baristas are so nice and I love the decor. One of my fave spots!

    Croissant

    Not sure what the hype is. The line was long both times I went. The first time I went it was towards the end of the day and I saw fruit flies all over the goods so I walked out. Went back the next morning and saw a lot of stuff was still there from the night before. The items with nuts are right against the items without. I ordered two things. The croissant was like $4 and it was awful. The Kougin was very good though. Not worth the hype.

    Ratatouille

    Been here way too many times to count. Gorgeous location. Delicious food. Beautiful pastries. Good for brunch with family but prepare to wait. Not too bad though. Great service. The people in here know what they are doing.

    smashed avocado tartine
    Alex F.

    I've been wanting to try this place out for a while. The restaurant is beautiful on the inside and the place is laden with flowers and French decor. We sat right away on a Sunday morning. I ordered the smashed avocado tartine. The food was good. The bread was fluffy and crusty and the egg was well cooked. The big plus was being able to add as much salt, pepitas, and red chili on the side. We also got pastries to go. Those were amazing. We got the olive oil pistachio tea cake, peanut butter granola cookie, and the cinnamon bun. As a local, I definitely recommend people come here for a great meal.

    Victor C.

    Came here for brunch on a Sunday. The pastries were pretty decent though I wish they were warmed up. Kouign amann was solid but a little doughy. Pistachio tea cake was tasty overall. The salmon croissant sandwich was decent but I wish there was a different bread instead of croissant. The steak sandwich was better but I wish there was more steak. Overall solid option for decent pastries and food, but don't expect to be blown away by everything. The atmosphere inside was great, so while I wouldn't write home about it, I would still consider maman a satisfactory brunch option.

    Convenient place for bfast pastry and coffee. The pastries are Okay... Cute decoration. Its not really service but rather more of takeout. And coffee is Ok

The inside is nice and bright so it offers a great start to your morning. Also, the wifi is pretty good so no issues from a work perspective. I ordered an avocado toast along with a cold brew. This has somewhat been a routine of mine since moving here and I haven't really been disappointed anywhere I've gone. This was no different. Loved the picked onion addition too. Now - the pricing is not necessarily breakfast pricing. Expect to spend around $20 for both a breakfast item and coffee like I did. But if you have the means to do so, then you might as well.

The server asked if it was alive or dead when I found them. I told him it was dead and looked steamed....like it matters... Long story short I asked for refund but they said they have to ask their manager who's not coming back that day since it is holiday and I would need to wait until next day for refund so I end up getting a cheesecake instead. The cheesecake tasted little sour so initially I thought it went bad. Also it tasted like it's been sitting in the fridge for a long time. You know when you taste fridge smell from the food. I lost sanitation of their food and will not recommend it to anyone

We finally had the opportunity to do so on a quiet Easter Sunday. First, the interior looks pretty amazing. A lot of history behind all the architecture and they did a good job preserving it. Because it was raining and chilly, we couldn't see the rooftop, but I can see the appeal. To start, we got an assortment of small muffins for the table. That was a nice touch. They were good too. For brunch, we each ordered omelettes. I got the Jalapeño & Cheddar while my fiancée got the mushroom and spinach omelette. We ended up complementing the items quite well. I did end up enjoying her omelette well. The vegetables were definitely fresh and cooked quite well. My omelette was nice and cheesy, how I like it. The jalapeños didn't have a crazy kick, but enough to satisfy. The potatoes were good too.

I was ready to write the place off, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. Skinner's isn't going to win World's Best anything, but it's a solid neighborhood spot with big portions for decent prices. The Buttermilk Pancakes were large, fluffy and satisfying. My Croque Monsieur was perfectly crispy and loaded with delicious melted bechamel, gruyere and prosciutto. One of the tastiest Croque Monsieurs I've had, including the ones I enjoyed living in France, and certainly bigger than its Manhattan counterparts. The Crispy Shrimp & Bacon Sandwich was also a pleasant taste bomb of basil, dill & cucumber remoulade, tomatoes, and, of course, bacon. Bottom line: Skinner's offers a brunch that's tastier and more affordable than many NYC joints. When you're hungover on a Sat morning, this might be the best place for you.
