Unfortunately we did not have a good experience at this location at all; I've had the chocolate chip cookies from other locations and it was great, but this location did not live up to our past experience. We ordered a tartine au saumon tartine for takeaway, walked 15min in the cold back to our apartment only to find that we were given an avocado smash. We called, went back for a redo, so another 15min walk to and back, only again to find our salmon sandwich had no microgreens as noted in the description. So nearly an hour later, our other order long cold, and we didn't get what we were expecting and everything was quite expensive. We won't be going to this location again. read more

The pastries at maman are always great, but was shocked at how poor the quality is for the criminal prices charged. The salad filled about 2/3 of the bowl and had 2 pieces of chicken and was also missing the croutons. I pointed this out to staff that there was a noticeable gap and they said yeah the menu changed it doesn't have croutons anymore without offering to fill the empty space. The sandwich had about 3 pieces of arugula, virtually no red pepper and one piece of chicken. read more

I'd prefer not to be writing this review. Like my fellow UWSiders, I'm busy. But it would be morally negligent for me to remain silent. I've had my two worst service experiences in New York, both at this Maman. I waited a year in between, thinking, perhaps, the first was an anomaly. The only anomaly is this Maman's location on Amsterdam Avenue. The first (in short): it took ten minutes to receive a lukewarm, very watered down, very overpriced cup of coffee. I drink a lot of coffee. Perhaps too much coffee. I told the barista that the coffee was watered down. After some back and forth, she finally relented and made another batch. I waited another ten minutes. The verdict: I would have much preferred the coffee at Bluestone Lane, just a few doors down. The second (again, in short): it took twenty minutes to receive a scone and a coffee, which I only received upon reminding the barista of my order (I was told to wait in the same area as the line--the space is quite cramped--which resulted in much shifting confusion). The coffee, again, was a little cool. The scone made up for in oil what it lacked in taste. I'd honestly prefer Panera. Don't let Maman's charming Parisian aesthetic fool you. The UWS location's branch takes the worst elements of Paris--its speed of service, its lack of air conditioning, its sometimes impertinent staff--without taking any of its culinary traditions. Recommended only as a recommendation to an enemy as a particularly cruel and unusual punishment. Dante was never able to reach this circle of Hell. Though, perhaps Trump would enjoy. read more

First of all, the restaurant is really cute on the inside and has a very nice vibe and seems baby/family friendly. The people working there were very nice. The pastries looked good but the glass around it was a bit opaque. The avocado toast had a beautiful presentation and was fresh, but unfortunately the flavors were flat. I don't think the bread was even toasted and the diced tomatoes on it were not very good. The coffee was just ok. They don't allow laptops which is interesting. I guess it's so people will talk to each other but they just end up using their phones instead. I waited about 10 minutes for the bathroom which was clogged by the person who was in there before me. That's no fault of the restaurant, but it added to the overall experience. I spent the rest of the day having food envy over the other places I did not go to instead. read more

I have ordered Maman mainly through the Too Good To Go app which is a discounted food app. I typically get 3-4 pastries per order. I've tried several of their pastries and all are delicious. The best thing I've eaten and stand out was I believe the kouign maman. It was a round pastry with a hole in the middle and sweet syrup on the bottom. Simple ingredients and executed so well. They also service actual meals and coffee but I have not tried those. The staff are always very friendly and prompt. The interior decor is different at every store and GORGEOUS. If I were a person who needed to do work in a coffee shop, I'd hands down always choose Maman for the incredible vibes. Highly recommended for pastries. read more

very cute spot with great decor and wide selection of baked goods. not the most vegan friendly (1 baked goods option - lemon poppyseed cookie) and 1 menu option (chili) besides a bare bones avocado toast as far as I could tell. Cappuccino was made with whole milk and had to be re done. Surcharge for alt milk. Would return more for atmosphere than for the food / coffee. They use parlor coffee beans which are always delicious! However, the pour was not as neat as it should've been and foam on top was poorly textured. read more

I really wish I could give this place 3.75, but I'll round up :) this place is a great little quick bites, however it is a little over priced for what it is. I had the Tartine Au Saumon and I will say it was quite tasty. I really like the labneh on the bread, but it didn't blow me away. It was definitely good and I would get it again but was it necessarily worth $15? Probably not haha The place itself is real cute, love the white and blue theme. I would say I've been to the one in the east side as well, and for whatever reason the food on the west side one seems to be better. Not sure why or how but it just seems to be a bit better. The staff was lovely, all very nice and sweet. Our food came out quickly which was a plus. The coffee is pretty good too! They have lots of options of different milks which is always nice! read more

Even though I love their coffees I have to point out the person at the counter. She is always at the register and never say hi or good morning, she is not pleasant. I order a coffee and I wanted to order a pastry but she told me the price of the coffee without asking if we want something else. She has the worst attitude to be a person in front of the house. Also my coffee today was not made as Maman standard. Having a barista strives for good coffee and this is just unacceptable. read more

4 stars mainly for food and cuteness of place. For the time it takes to get an order more like 2-3 stars. Service seems to be the reason for many 1 star reviews. I've given this place a try on 2 separate occasions. The first time I grabbed a honey lavender latte and almond croissant. I enjoyed both! This visit it took a LONG time to get these 2 items! I had to wait for 5 people to order before me and then wait for my drink. They clearly needed more than 1 person making coffees! On my second visit I ordered a bunch of pastries and a specialty drink. Of course we had the nutty chocolate chip cookie. Amazing! The white chocolate raspberry rose cookie tasted more like cheesecake than white chocolate. The Nutella beignet is one to try. I haven't had a beignet in awhile but this tasted more like a jelly donut except with Nutella. Our least favorites were the loafs; they were very dry which was disappointing. I wouldn't bother ordering those again. I ordered one of the seasonal specialty drinks. You really have to look hard to find where they have a menu of these drinks. It was too milky of a drink for me but that's on me for choosing that latte over the other option. Next time I hope to have breakfast there! read more

I really like Cafe Maman at other locations. I ordered a drink. When it did not come after 15 minutes, the woman said she forgot to make it and then proceeded to make me a wrong drink. When I told her that this was not what I ordered, she told me that I'd better be saying that I told her wrong, not that she got it wrong. She the said I was wrong in my order I took the drink and threw it away and did not engage. I hope management can work on some customer service! read more

Came in last week after having a late lunch / early dinner nearby. There's a Maman close to where I live and the pastries are so I wanted to pick up something sweet. There weren't many options when I went in around 5, but the croissant I got (raspberry? Not totally sure) was really yummy and exactly what I wanted. It did feel a little stale but I'll chalk that up to the hour. I'm sure it would have been better with a quick toast but I still devoured it. I've had lunch at a different location and really enjoyed it, so seems like Maman does it all well! read more

I really wanted to love this place. Everything about this cafe is just beautiful and gorgeous. I love their extensive list of pastries and their food items, BUT I just felt like it was one of those places where the food looks better than it actually is. The pineapple mango croissant roll that I got was just plain stale. I felt like it had been sitting out for at least two-three days. It had so much potential to taste amazing if it were fresh, which is such a shame because I could tell it was well made. Paying $6 for a stale pastry is just not okay. I also got the Papa's breakfast bowl, which was actually decent. I mean, who does love potatoes with bacon, eggs, and caramelized onions? You can't really mess that up. It's a good breakfast option on the menu, but I don't think it is worth $15, given that the amount in the bowl itself wasn't very much. Overall, I feel like this place is just...okay. It's not terrible, but I was disappointed and expecting more given that I've heard such great things about this place. read more

I really enjoyed it here! I love the ambiance and the theme of this coffee, bakery, kitchen. They had a lot of different lunch options (which I regret not trying). All the pastries were delicious , but the pistachio orange olive cake was by far my favorite. Prices are so-so, it's what you get for being in NYC and it's such a pretty cafe. The service was outstanding, we weren't planning on staying, but they served us our drinks and food at the table we sat at. I'll definitely go back and try some of their lunch options! read more

A great place to ease yourself into the morning if you can snag a table (come before 8:30am and you might even get the window table). But even by 9am their seating area still looks leisurely. Their chocolate almond croissant is now my favorite (Orwashers dropped from my number 1 after shrinking their croissant size and being too frugal with the chocolate). Maman's is buttery and flaky on the outside with lots of chocolate and marzipan spread evenly inside, even the last bite has a generous bit of chocolate. read more

There is a middle aged, petite African American female staff at the register, who has a hostile attitude and is miserably rude. I placed a TooGoodToGo ("TGTG") order in this store earlier today. Understand that it's affordable food before they are thrown out, I wasn't expecting much service at all coming in. A smooth pickup is all I need. However, I was still shocked by the unfriendliness and rudeness of this staff. I came to the store at 16:54, 6-7 minutes earlier than the pick up time. I told the staff that I have TGTG order to pick up, she did not respond or say anything (did not even look at me), but started to put pastry in a small bag. Seeing that, I swiped on the APP to confirm the pick up and showed her the confirmation. She scouted:"You are too early and you will get me in trouble." I was stunned by her response and asked:"Sorry I didn't realize that it has to be the exact pick up time, I can wait?" She said:"Yes, wait." So I went outside of the store to wait (as my dog was outside). At 5pm, she came out with two giant brown bags (with two items in each) and I said to her, "I don't need the excessive bags as I brought my own bag, you can take the bags back." As I started to take the pastry out from the bags, she threw these two paper bags on the floor and murmured: "Maybe you should say thank you instead" and stormed inside the store. The attached picture is the bags she threw to the ground outside of the store. I'm positive that I acted politely all the way and followed the guidance to wait for a few more minutes before picking up. I wonder whether this hostile attitude is because it's a TGTG order and therefore the customer doesn't deserve any minimal respect? I feel lucky that I didn't use TGTG due to economic struggles but I'm sure there are people who are trying to save a few bucks via this APP. This type of condescending behavior is probably more humiliating for them given they didn't have better options. I accidentally recorded the conversation outside of the store when the staff threw the bags to the floor (I was taking pics of my dog while waiting), in case the business owner needs to see a proof of this incident. To the business owner: I know TGTG is not a huge source of revenue or profit, but I imagine it's one way to acquire new customers. I was not impressed at all and will definitely not visit again. If you are doing this to save food waste, please let you staff show minimal respect to customers. No matter why they are using the service, they do not deserve to be treated as such - having to pick up food that's thrown to the ground by your staff???! It's a shame. To this staff if you happen to see this review: no matter what reasons contributing to your unhappiness and bad temper, you don't get to let it out on other people, customer or not. It's really pathetic of you to conduct this way. With this attitude, you probably don't even deserve your current job, though apparently you don't seem to be satisfied with where you are. read more

Exceptional service. Lovely seasonal drinks and treats. Delicious bread with my chicken salad sandwich.

My wife, daughter and I waited 20 Minutes for an outside table on a cold day. Our choice: So far, so good. 10 minutes later we received menus and ordered. Two sandwiches and an egg dish. Waiter brings my tea and a coffee 15 minutes later. 49 minutes later, waitstaff comes out and drops two plates, the sandwiches, and leaves without a word. 10 more minutes, we flag down a staff member, and our waitress comes back 10 minutes after that. It's been over an hour now, and we have an appointment elsewhere. Waitress explains that "when she put the order in, she didn't realize they were out of my order. I guess she forgot to ask me for a substitute order for an hour. My party was 2/3 done with their lunch. I thanked her sarcastically, and walked down the street to get a slice, since time was short and I was famished. Slice line was long, so I walk back to Maman to try to leave with my family. Manager is there, apologizing and offering food at no charge. After she talked over me and insisted, I told her time was of the essence and I will have the chicken sandwich my wife ordered. She promised it quickly. 15 minutes later, waitress comes out with a ham and cheese sandwich. I don't eat pork. I walk in to tell the manager I never got my food, and need the check, since waitstaff was nowhere. Manager yells at me and calls me disrespectful, and insisted "you got your food!!" Never happened. I can look past a mistake. I can't look past a rude and incompetent manager who should be in a line of work that doesn't involve service. I'm still waiting for the sandwich. And we shouldn't have paid a dime for that experience. read more

We went to breakfast at Amsterdam and 81st. First they filled our order wrong, putting bacon in a sandwich that was supposed to be meatless. No apology. She took it away but never came back with the new sandwich. When we went to ask, it turned out they hadn't even started it after 15 minutes. No refund, no apologies. Terrible place with very rude idiotic staff read more

Came here for coffee and bakery on an early Saturday morning Pros: The star is for the Great bakery. I recommend the chocolate croissant with pistachio. Tastes really good. Cons: The stuff move really slow here. We might be a bit hash but, Believe me when I say it: It literally hurts our soul to watch how they work... A small batch of chocolate croissants came right from the oven, a lady was transferring them from the baking pan to the counter, by the time she finished and gave the first one to me, it was stone cold! It's a shame though, I liked the bakery. But I can't go through all the trouble for it again. It's not worth it. read more

Negative service experience I ordered a scone in the am when they were not very busy and waited over 20 minutes. Asked the host to check if my order was coming out and she did not, and only until I asked another staff member did they find that order had never been passed to the kitchen so I eventually left with a cold pastry 20 minutes later. Great to sit down, horrible place to stop and pick up a pastry. read more

Great little breakfast/lunch spot. I saw lots of reviews that the service was subpar, but I could not disagree more. Everyone in this place was extremely kind and accommodating!!

I don't know if it's Yelp that's putting in the orders incorrectly, or it's just a fact that they really don't care to actually. Prepare correctly.

When I would ask for a croissant, they usually provide you with butter on the side that neither. This place is to be so good they have fallen off so much.
