Forgot my food and then continuously made me wait for it after I already waited 45 minutes. Horrible service.

3.5. This place is ok. I didn't expect them to have so many locations-- took me a while to find the right location to review. I got the truffle crocque Maman and my friend got the tartine au saumon. She actually wanted a bread bowl soup but they were out of both of the options she wanted. I never had truffle so I was curious to see what it tasted like but my (I guess it's an open faced sandwich?) sandwich tasted like a normal, but still tasty, cheese bread. Not sure if I got any of the truffle taste. Salad was also doused in a lot of dressing, and I personally don't love that. This place is also ridiculously popular. I had to put my name down and waited about half an hour to get seated. I'm not sure if I would come here again. I want to try their pastries since their chocolate croissant looked appetizing. I honestly only came here because it was closest to the part of the park I wanted to visit and prices seemed fair. 3.5 not great, not terrible but might be improved pending pastries taste test! read more

Well Maman has been a wonderful addition to the Upper East side. They have been popping up in other areas too. You deff need to bring your patience though especially if you go in the morning. There probably will be a line likely but moves some what on the fast side. They have wonderful pastries and strong, tasty coffee. I usually get either hot or iced lattes. Their croissants are tasty too! They do not only sell coffee and pastries but they also have their own cookbook which I have a copy of myself and they have very cute mugs, cups and other wonderful products that they sell. I got some one a coffee cup from here and at the bottom was a little bunny. Wonderful place if you have gifts to get for coffee, tea lovers. The staff at this location has always been wonderful and helpful. Although, it gets busy they always take the time to help the customer that is at register. They do not seem to loose their patience. This location also is a laptop free place. They encourage, reading, calling your loved ones and or meeting a new person. They also have a good size outdoor seating area, and beautiful exterior. 100% recommend this place. read more

It's our new to go place in the neighborhood. What an elegant place with great coffee and food! The service is wonderful too. I really like Maman trying to make itself a non laptop cafe, but a space for reading, chatting, and even daydreaming! We need more cafe like this. read more

Maman is brand new to the Upper East Side. It's absolutely beautiful. I met the Manager and he was very welcoming. He said Maman is Mother in French. This place is spacious as can be. There's restrooms and baby high chairs. This is more than coffee. I waited for them to brew a fresh pot of drip coffee. When it was ready the sweet counter employee brought it to my table. I hate to say I don't care for the taste. I used one of my Sweet and Low and added one of their Splenda packets. It didn't help the bitter taste very much. I drank it for energy in this heat wave! You can see by my photos all the delicious pastries! The atmosphere is calming with soft jazz music for lack of a better term. There's plenty of seating options both inside and outside. It's looks like they could easily serve a large party in the back room. I could absolutely spend a lot of money on the cute accessories they sell. They made great use of the space by the counter where you can't help but pass the display on your way to the register. I love the little bears and bunnies! I'm highly recommending as it is a wonderful relaxing atmosphere and I'm thoroughly enjoying my coffee here. I will definitely return to eat next time, but skip coffee! Btw people are lining up at the counter the longer I'm here. Better get here early! read more

TLDR: only came here for take out and ordered at the cafe. Cashier was kind but food and drink was okay. Came in on a Saturday; I was craving something refreshing because of the hot summer day and saw that this cafe was very busy which is typically a good sign. I ordered the blackberry mint sparkling lemonade and a kouign "maman." I asked what the difference between a kouign "maman" and a kouign amann was and the cashier said there was none. The drink itself was exactly as its named; just blackberry, lemonade, and carbonated water with a sprig of mint. I prefer my drinks unsweetened or lightly sweetened and this was unsweetened. It was quite refreshing. However, there were many, many blackberry seeds in my drink. While I love this because it's an indication that it's truly blackberry and not artificial, it was not very enjoyable to chew on or drink. They often got stuck in my throat. Also, the kouign "maman" was nothing like a kouign amann. If you check the photo, the texture was way off and it was pretty flat. Maybe it is different than a kouign amann? Not sure. I plan on coming back Becuase this place is obviously good based off of the traffic! I will just order something else next time. Cashier was kind and barista was friendly! Service was extremely quick. read more

Walking around the area looking for some coffee on a rainy ish Saturday brought my friend and I to Maman where we thoroughly enjoyed our time. There were maybe two people waiting in front of us and the line moved rather quickly. We were surprised by how much seating there was inside towards the back of the place , on the outside you would think it's much smaller. While they do have a dedicated food brunch menu, we settled on their pastry basket with our coffees. One flavor of croissant I've never had before and wouldn't think to combine was their pistachio chocolate one - it was executed well. It is a super heavy item pastry because they use a decent cream filling. We also got a lemon loaf that I found could have been just a little more moist but still pretty good. The last pastry was a beignet which had cinnamon sugar coating and a really great filling. We sat here for quite a while enjoying our coffee and making our way through the pasties and had really attentive servers with no rush to get get out the door. read more

Came here sat am with a friend around 10 am! Note if you want to sit down and have a table in the cafe at this time, you are not allowed to order just coffee and pastries. You have to actually also order something from the front side menu (with breakfast and lunch dishes as well). Server was nice in explaining that and telling us the seasonal pastries and drinks. Ambiance is chic and French rustic- the wood tables with the blue and white cutlery is super cute. seasonal latte - buttercream latte- 4.5/5 - not overly sweet or too artificial buttercream tasting! Love the mugs they came in too. Quiche Lorraine: 4/5- warm, egg was fluffy! No complaints and solid choice if you like quiche Olive oil pistachio filling cake - 5/5 they were almost sold out and we were gonna have to order the pistachio croissant instead but we got lucky! Soo moist and tasty, would def buy again!! read more

I've been wanting to visit Maman ever since I stepped foot inside one of their locations and fell in love with the garden aesthetic of the decor. A charming setting, specialty lattes, and unique pastries always lure me to stay while. I visited during brunch time with a friend. This location is spacious, with a front dining room and a back seating area as well. I ordered a honey lavender latte and tartine au salmon. While the setting was lovely, my food wasn't anything special. The tartine was composed of rye bread slathered with cream cheese, topped with smoked salmon and a plethora of red onions. Perhaps they were too generous with the onions, because I did feel like the smoked salmon flavor was a little dulled. My latte was amazing though. The honey and lavender flavors blended together melodiously. Other things that detracted from a more enjoyable lunch were the lack of napkins (we were told they were all out) and the uncleanly bathroom. I probably wouldn't go back to this location except to pick up pastries but I would give another a try. read more

maman - Teatime Au Salmon and Honey Lavender Latte - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

We have a maman in Princeton and they're good but have operational issues. As they are newer I figured it was just this location. Nope. Should have read the reviews. Coffee is good. Pastries are yummy and staff is very nice. I only had one thing at this location and it was ok but it's nothing I've had at ours so I can't judge food overall. However they are understaffed and overworked. Because they get online (app) and grubhub orders and the same people need to handle those and the in-store orders if there is a line of more than 3 people .... It's a long wait. If you have the time, try it. Or try it at a non-busy hour. Whenever that is. read more

Horrible service and food. Very disorganized and the restaurant was filthy. Spend your money elsewhere ..much better options in NYC read more

Ok, can you say obsessed! I am basically a fan girl for every single thing I've had here. As a New Yorker I can appreciate a French pastry and coffee done right, and they have nailed it! The service is usually wonderful, and the ambiance is like you've been transported to a quaint French bakery. I bought the cook book and the mug, and I constantly gift their cookie sets for my clients too. I am definitely a proud regular and have never had a bad menu item. It's great for a girls breakfast, afternoon tea, or when you're hungover and need some champagne fuel to get you over the hump! read more

Food was very tasty! We had the chicken and tuna sandwiches and a blueberry scone. The latte was sooooo perfect.

The ambiance makes it a perfect place for a quick bite and casual brunch. It is super cute in there but usually busy and not enough seating. The food is pretty good for cafe and has good coffee! I recommend the pastries and sandwiches! read more

maman - Sandwich and quiche - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

We came here after someone sent my wife a IG post that you can get a free cookie and a bag of giveaways if you came in pregnant. We came in, pregnant, but no bag! However, we were given a cookie! We ordered chai latte and green tea latte (I wish this was higher quality green tea- sorry, I'm pretentious, I know!). Then came our entree (well the lovely waitress dropped one entree while coming to us but we did get our food on take 2). However, they forgot our side dishes. The bread were extremely hard and sharp enough to slice open the inside of your mouth. We had the challah bread for dessert and it was not good. Nothing like cold and soggy challah to end your meal! The only saving grace for Mamans was our waiter. He was super nice, thoughtful, attentive, and apologetic (almost like he knows the operations here are subpar). Would I come back? Probably not. read more

Unorganized and unprofessional, they have absolutely no proper system for seating.Even after being seated we had really slow service and some of our food took so long that we ended up cancelling some of them. My eggs were prepared incorrectly. Their mask policy also makes ZERO sense at all. They require masks if you're lined up for the bakery, but not to eat in the restaurant or to sit at a table hanging out after eating. I'm not an anti masker by ANY means, but if I'm wearing a mask and standing next to multiple people not wearing it just because they're seated I don't see see how that's effective. As the state mandate has been lifted, there is no social distancing. They've decided to employ some COVID measure but not others? Get it together. read more

The avocado toast and chicken sandwich were amazing! Large portions and delicious ingredients. Very friendly staff.

I've been to a total of 2 Maman locations over the past few months and I struggle to decide which was worse. At THIS Maman I bought a latte. A hot latte when it was still a bit chilly out a couple weeks ago. Disgusting. The shot was bitter and the milk was way over-steamed. Maybe it was burned and the milk is what tasted bitter. Either way, it was a fail. Staff is not friendly here. I won't be returning to ANY Maman anytime in the future. This place gets pretty bad reviews, so it looks like I'm in good company with my decision. read more

Oh my god!!! So delicious!!! Perfect brunch spot with the girls as everything is so yummy and the place itself is beautiful. Loved the Harvest bowl (what's not to love about smashed potatoes, Brussels, labneh, and pesto) and the honey lavender latte. You can also pick up some of their pastries and a drink to go for a walk in the park. The service was also so friendly. Will 100% be recommending this place to everyone! read more

THis is the most unorganized, disjointed cafe I have ever been to. Cute inside, but what a mess it is to walk through the front door and try to get seated. I assumed they just opened, but apparently, this place has been open over a year. Plus they were out of 2 of the items I wanted, so I kept having to look at the menu. If you want to go somewhere to have a relaxing cup of coffee and a sandwich, this is not the place. Get it together, Maman. PS. The Kouign Amann (of the "Kouign Maman", as they call it) is god-awful. read more

Amman was so cute and an affordable option if you are going to the Met. There are a few vegan option on the menu and all of the pastries look absolutely delicious. They have a full espresso bar and the kindest staff. Reading more about Maman, I found out it was a local chain. The faux-French aesthetic was still really cute though. Also if you plan to come here to work, don't! They have a no-laptops policy. read more

I and a friend stopped by because we loved the Maman located downtown. We were excited about this new branch opening. The decor and ambiance is lovely and the staff is kind, but frankly, everything stops there. I'm not sure who thought the open glass where the baked goods are housed was a good idea because I saw multiple flies landing on pretty much EVERY. SINGLE. BAKED. GOOD behind the glass. Alright fine, so we avoided ordering baked goods and we both got the honey lavender latte. Hers had no honey so the drink was very bitter, and mine was mostly milk. We both ended up throwing them out. Yeahhhh - I'm gonna stick to the Maman downtown for the time being. read more

We loved the lavender honey latte at Maman. There is a good selection of pastries and breakfast food, along with drinks. We waited quite a while for a table for 2 which was the downside. We saw others come after us but get tables before. Came here other times only for pick-up, and those experiences were all quick and efficient. Good pastries and coffee. read more

Came here on a weekday morning for breakfast. Waited about 10min in line (got super lucky, as it exploded after we sat down). Ordered the maman's breakfast sandwich (homemade bourbon bacon jam, fresh avocado & oven roasted tomatoes topped with a fried egg on a cornmeal focaccia bun) but they did not have any more bourbon bacon jam, which was the ingredient I was most excited for! Instead, we opted for blueberry jam with bacon strips as a replacement. Service was on the very slow side. It took at least 20-30min for the food to arrive. We also enjoyed a nutella beignet, which was quite nice. Ambiance is beautiful, and employees are friendly but not very knowledgeable or confident about answers (I suppose this will improve over time as it recently opened). Another gripe is that they used the front door to carry supplies to the back, and the constant "excuse me's" got gruesome. read more

The decaf latte w oat milk I got was delicious. The barista did a great job. Decaf is often bitter so I was really happy with how creamy and smooth the latte was. The decorations of the cafe are lovely and draw a crowd. Taking off a star for how long everything took that I probably won't return. The restaurant has a tiny kitchen and only one espresso bank in comparison to how much seating they have. The baristas were working hard but were limited by space and resources. Baked good looked unique and tasted but I didn't try one. read more

Very cute and charming (and deceivingly big) French brunch spot with numerous locations around the city. It has a very Instagram-able vibe with the Parisian aesthetic, but the food lives up to the hype. They have the option for counter service/takeout or dine-in. The tables are cafeteria-style where it's a series of long tables. I thought it would be more bothersome than it was. The food was great! The pastries are average as is the latte, but the actual food was delicious. It's overall a healthy restaurant because every dish comes with a side salad only. I got the rabbit hole after seeing it at a neighboring table, and it was excellent. It comes in a bread bowl, which I didn't eat too much of because it was so heavy. But the inside of butternut squash, egg, caramelized onion, and other food was delish. Nothing was overpowering either. My sister who hates butternut squash and onions had a bite and enjoyed it. The honey lavender latte that the waiter recommended and that they are known for is average. It definitely needed sugar. Our waiter was very nice and chipper. Between the good food and pretty aesthetic, I'm not surprised it is so popular on weekends. It's also worth noting that they do not accept reservations, and they have NO peanuts anywhere on site. read more

This is my new go to brunch place! It was quick and easy, but the food was incredible. I got the honey lavender latte, pistachio croissant, and avocado toast. The honey lavender latte was one of the best lattes I have ever had - and it came with beautiful latte art! Our food came out in about 10 minutes and the waiters were really nice and helpful. I went on a Saturday at around 11AM and we were able to find a seat for 2 with no wait. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. It is large but felt cozy and warm. I could have stayed here for hours reading a book. I can't wait to go back in the fall and try their chai latte! read more

I liked Maman a lot and would go back. The pros? Delicious food that, yes, is a little over priced but it is high quality. You get what you pay for. Beautiful interior space that is good for eating, working, or a coffee + hang session The cons? Unfriendly service. Cashier could not have been less interested in answering questions about the menu, and the runner was unusually aggressive in bussing our table and hurrying us out of the restaurant. read more

Stopped by this UWS location and tried the pistachio cream croissant which was way too sweet and had zero pistachio flavor. It's only called pistachio croissant cuz of the green power on top I guess. The croissant itself also was not fresh and had no good texture. That option absolutely made me feel guilty about consuming the unworthy calories. Should stick to their famous chocolate chip cookies... read more

I've been to so many Maman locations & am always so satisfied with the coffee / pastries / savory items! I was at a doctor's appt nearby & finished early before work so decided to order a coffee to go through the app for a quick smooth pick up! When I got there, I walked towards the "pick up" area. It was packed so I knew the wait would be a little longer than average; however I waited over 35 minutes for a latte. And guess what?! Apparently it was just in the back of the barista area...and I only found out after another customer was annoyed & asked a server, she got her coffee so I asked & the server handed me mine as well! When I asked the baristas, I didn't get a reply so shoutout to this server! Very disorganized -- maybe it should be clear where to pick up online orders? I was late to work & the coffee wasn't as good as other locations. Very upset :( Please don't understaff if the demand is high & use better communication with customers! read more

Cute coffee shop if you're looking for a good pastry, coffee and floral vibes. I tried a seasonal iced tumeric matcha latte which was great (I added a Splenda for a bit more sweetness) and it was a great choice for a warm day. They have indoor and outdoor seating and it's great if you want to eat there or just grab something quick to go (I usually grab something to go). They have a ton of locations throughout the city and usually I'll stop by for something quick or if I have visitors in town wanting to grab a coffee. The pistachio croissant was also delicious! read more
