    1. Amazing caramel latte and cucumber melon lemonade 2. Martha's salted caramel chocolate chip cookie was phenomenal 3. Incredibly busy! We were lucky to grab a table around 11am. Be prepared to wait a while for food. But the quiche Lorraine was good and the croissant waffles were good but a little dry.

    Beautiful atmosphere. It's nicely decorated and dim enough. Desserts and coffee were fantastic. Staff behind the counter could have been friendlier. Customer service needs some tweaking.

    Great place. Always a little crowded and difficult to find a seat but the food is delicious. Consistent no matter which site we are at

    We walked into Maman around 11:15 on a Sunday, and while it was busy the brunch crowd wasn't too crazy and we were able to snag a table before we considered going elsewhere. I will say it took me way too long to realize this was Martha Stewart's restaurant lol but the decor and vibe were cute- I particularly loved that all the china was blue patterned but all with different patterns. Ordering was quick and easy at the counter and the cashier grabbed the drip coffee right away- I was a little disappointed that my latte came out in a disposable cup as I really liked their ceramic mugs! But the drinks were good. The food came out fairly quickly- my husband got the Belgian waffles with berries and cream and they were absolutely top notch. The waffles were crispy, the whipped cream was rich and they were smothered in berries. I got the quiche with caramelized leeks- it was good but probably only 3 stars in my personal book. There was just so much leek that was 80% of the flavor- the egg just held it together and I really didn't get any cheese. But it was hearty and filling and I still enjoyed it.

    I love Maman for their reliably good cup of Matcha. They don't skimp on the powder and the matcha/milk ratio is perfect imo. I dined solo - we order at the counter prior and they give a table number to take with you so the servers can bring the food to your table. The seats are first come first serve and there's no seat limit enforced, but the turnover is quick, so you're able to find a seat relatively quickly. I ordered their Quiche Lorraine, which had ham and cheese. They heat it up for a toasty slice. It paired nicely with my Matcha Latte. They have water pitchers upon request to supplement your meal, as well as a restroom in the back. While this location isn't as bright as some others, I'd still return if I'm in the area and craving a matcha!

    Really lovely cafe. Great vibes, nice variety of pastries & breakfast food. We really enjoyed our lattes (oat milk with honey) - come in mugs if not to-go. Quiche was 7/10. Lemon creme-brûlée croissant was 10/10.

    The cashier was so kind so that was an automatic five stars. It's not my first time at maman, but my first time at this location. The chocolate chip cookies are some of my favorites because of the dark chocolate they use. My almond milk latte also hit the spot. Love it here and I feel like it is one of the better chain cafes in NYC!

    My wife and I definitely thought this was an attractive place to get coffee. That's what drew us in. Service was friendly and again, the cafe was really decorated nicely.... The only problem was that we really didn't like the coffee or the pastry. We had matcha latte and the seasonal latte (i have now forgotten what it was), but both had their own problems. Even after sweetening they were still just not good tasting. The pastries all looked really attractive also, but the almond croissant we got was just really, really dry. As I have on other occasions, I give them the benefit of the doubt that they may have had an off day given the amount of people there.

    Quick review: ok food, nice atmosphere, poor customer service at the register. It is a lovely looking cafe, but after that this is an average place. The pastries are good, but the ones with fillings are overstuffed and messy. That is not a huge issue but they don't serve them without flatware which would have solved it. The actual food we order was ok as well but not worth reordering. The one thing i was the most disappointed with was the experience at the register. Maybe im just used to a warmer greeting and service with being from the south, but the silent pointing and somber attitude spoiled it a little for me from the start.

    I find the food at maman to be absolutely delicious and the coffee is good. The ambiance is really nice as well - it's a beautifully decorated space that feels sophisticated yet cozy. They get busy but I haven't had issues finding a spot to sit. Service can be spotty depending on the day and person.

    Didn't know this was a Martha Stewart spot until we got here. Ambiance is nice inside. Cozy and lots of seating, doesn't feel too tight as far as table spacing. Had the Ham and Cheese croissant, it came with little pickle that perfectly complemented it. Had the pistachio chocolate croissant that was their version of the Dubai Chocolate craze- really good. The chocolate chip cookie was a winner - best we had this whole trip. Daughter had the Nutella brownie and raved about it. Will def be back here on next visit.

It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

It's $25 for unlimited drinks plus food by the way. Which is sad is a deal these days. Anyway, their happy hour is solid enough for a Monday and was meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen in over a year. Place is actually very cute. There are no tvs which I appreciate and the paneling of the walls and decor with all the flowers is quite tasteful. Happy hour deals 4-7pm Mon-Fri & all night Thursday apparently: Aperol Spritz $8, Hugo Spritz $9, Paloma $10, Mules $9, Draft Beers (except Guinness) $7, House Wine $9. As well as 2 Appetizer Bites for $19.95. Not the best but not the worst. I'm normally not a Spritz kind of gal. I think watering down prosecco or wine is heinous. But it was a Monday and I didn't exactly feel like powering down into happy hour so Aperol Spritz it was which switched to a Modelo later. It was the perfect drink situation on a god awful hot as hell day. We also ordered the fish tacos and what initially were the curry fries but they brought out the Greek fries. I wasn't mad about it. Honestly was torn between the two and I don't send food back unless something really bad happened. But it was essentially a side of Caesar salad dressing with feta cheese and generous amount of herbs on a very sparse and frugal amount of crispy standard cut fries. Now I know why it's a 2 for $20 deal. The tacos were 3 in an order which I guess is typical. They weren't bad but nothing stood out to me. I'd come for the drinks or try something else on the menu.
