    make your own omelette
    Elyse B.

    I enjoyed my omelette, roasted potatoes, and toast! This Maman location has a lot of seating available and was a nice spot to catch up with friends and spend time while it poured rain outside! I will note that the service was a bit slow, and we had to remind them to make our drinks, but I completely understand that they were trying to accommodate many customers on a busy day.

    This is a cute French style cafe that has pastries, coffees, and food. It is a great place to meet up with friends, but can get a bit loud - so not the best place to work/study at. I would say that the pastries and food are not as quite as good as they look, but the ambience and the service make up for it!

    The manager got in a screaming match with my husband because I didn't like the specialty latte & wanted to get it swapped with a CHEAPER basic latte. The manager told him "you are wrong, it is great, everyone likes it"... I didn't know that managers were supposed to operate off of their personal bias and tell the customer they're wrong for having certain taste preferences (the latte sucked and tasted like artificial almond syrup). He finally agreed to swapping it after my husband asked "aren't you as a manager supposed to take feedback from the customer?" This place is always packed and there's never anywhere to sit anyways. Don't bother going, you won't be able to understand any of the employees (if you speak English) and you might get screamed at if you don't like your drink. Maman, you should really educated your management on customer service! It's crucial to your business model and you have just lost a customer for life

    First time at a Maman location and after lunch was in the mood for a Matcha on a colder day in Georgetown. Popped in and had friendly service, ordered pretty quickly and before you knew it, there was my beautiful Matcha Latte right on the counter for me. The decor in this place is so nice and it was a very nice sized space! Overall a great first experience at maman. My only regret was not getting something from behind that sweets counter but an excuse to come back right?

    Loved the vibe in here - beautifully decorated and their pastries and drinks are equally as pretty! The cherry blossom croissant cube was almost too pretty to eat! I stopped in on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon and it was super busy. The to go line to order moved quickly, but getting beverages took a bit longer. Also had quite a long bathroom line (15 people deep for two unisex bathrooms) and the bathroom I went in could have used a bit of attention.

    banana walnut bread

    This is going to be my proper review of maman. At this point I have been to this place about 10+ times. Let me start by saying that I love the interior. This pretty much is how I want my kitchen to look. The staff is wonderful. The service they provide is top notch. The baked goods are amazing! I have tried the banana walnut bread, Nutella brownie, Martha Stewart Kitchen Sink cookie and Martha Stewart Lemon Creme Brûlée Bun. All of these items are amazing especially the Lemon Creme Brulee Bun. That is epic like a 9 minutes song. The sandwich however was just okay. Nothing special. A bit over priced but then again this is your premium coffee shop so I cannot complain... or maybe I can? The coffee is a labor of love! Whoever the barista is deserves a lot of praise for the fabulous job they do. I would like to give this place 4.1/5 If you want to waste your down payment on coffee and stuff - this is the place to do so.

    This was one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. I ordered the avocado sandwich and added extra salmon on top, and everything was absolutely delicious and very fresh! I also tried the London Fog tea for the first time, and I liked it as well. The presentation was beautiful, the place was very clean, and the design of the space was amazing: cozy, warm, and welcoming. My friend also really enjoyed her food. So we had a wonderful breakfast on our last day in Washington, DC. I recommend visiting this place if you are in the area.

    Maman is never disappointing! I have been to Ardmore, multiple locations in NYC and now DC. Their smashed avocado tartine with sunny side egg is a piece of art. Their flavors and presentation are always on point. I always get their lavender hot chocolate but it was a very hot day in DC when I went so I skipped it but would recommend trying if you haven't!

    This has quickly become my wife's (and mine too I guess lol) go-to café. With Inkind taking it from pricey to a solid deal and such creative coffees like blueberry muffin or the pumpkin spice matcha latte were always pulled back with intrigue. They have a pretty good smoked salmon crogel croissant/bagel thingamajig as well as a steak sandwich that will not fail. All of their pastries appear to be on another level in regards to creativity and deliciousness, and the few that we have tried have been solid options. This place really just gives a great positive café vibe so fitting right there in the middle of Georgetown.

    I honestly love all of the Maman locations- super consistent with the quality and freshness of their food, pastries, and drinks. I also LOVE their gluten free options- that chicken sandwich on GF bread gets me every time!! For this location in particular, the only reason I have 4 and not 5 stars is due to the service and how busy it was!! Now honestly you should sort of expect this in Georgetown... but for some reason the lines were just super unclear to me (where did it start?! end?! there felt like multiple?!), it was difficult to tell where you food/drink would be ready, and it was just so crowded both indoors and outdoors. I was overstimulated lol. ^I think it speaks to how much this place is loved which is wonderful- just prepare yourself! Or, perhaps there are more "off" times that are less busy.

    Honey lavender latte
    Erika J.

    Lovely cafe with amazing decor!! They have a wide variety of delicious-looking pastries, as well as a full menu, including coffee and cocktails. Highly recommend! I did not like the texture of my scrambled eggs, like hard fried eggs broken to pieces. But that was a minor flaw compared to the total experience.

    Cherry Blossom Matcha
    Kristen S.

    The inside has cute decor and feels cozy and the pastries on display look delicious. However, the prices are too high. I ordered the cherry blossom matcha latte which is a seasonal item. I opted for the large and it cost $9.90! I was not expecting it to be that steep and deterred me from adding on a $4.50 singular cookie. The drink itself was smooth, floral, and not too sweet. I couldn't really taste the matcha, but still enjoyed the uniqueness of it.

    iced matcha latte & iced americano
    Baran K.

    I feel like this is a classic cafe to check out in NYC or DC, and I cannot speak for the food much, but the americano was mediocre at best. Sometimes americanos can have that sort of sour aftertaste of stale coffee and this definitely did. My friend tried the matcha which she said was pretty good. We also grabbed a jalapeno cheddar scone and a cherry blossom croissant cube. I didn't try the latter, but my friends really liked it. The scone was ok, surprisingly sweet. That being said, I feel like Maman has made a brand off of its ambiance and I can certainly attest to it. It is BEAUTIFUL inside, and perhaps it would be nice to stop by for breakfast (items going around looked pretty good).

The standout of the morning was the breakfast side potatoes--crispy, seasoned perfectly, and easily something I'd come back for. The breadbasket came with three pastries, which felt a bit smaller than expected, but the almond croissant more than made up for it. On the heartier side, the chicken and waffles were extremely filling thanks to the dense waffles, so definitely a dish to tackle with an appetite. One of the biggest surprises was the brunch salad with salmon, which ended up being one of the best salads I've had in a long time--fresh, balanced, and satisfying. The breakfast sandwich was another highlight: so good that it's now the new standard I'll compare all other breakfast sandwiches to. The smoked salmon bagel was also a fun experience, served deconstructed so you can build each bite exactly how you like it. Not everything was a hit--the French toast wasn't my favorite--but the overall meal was strong enough that it barely detracted from the experience. Brunch offers a few additions beyond the regular breakfast menu, but overall it's very similar to their standard breakfast, just with a couple of extra options. It tends to get full on the weekends to make a reservation. Bottom line: Penbrook is a beautiful hotel restaurant that punches above its weight--excellent service, memorable dishes, and several items worth returning for.

Also the restaurant just has a really beautiful atmosphere to sit down and enjoy some really great hospitality. Onto the food! Oysters were smaller than I thought they'd be but SO FLAVORFUL and just the right amount of brine, and slid beautifully from the shell 10/10 The deviled eggs were given a 10/10, presentation was beautiful and the pickled relish was a well rounded addition We then finished up by sharing the cheasapeake eggs Benedict! Which featured their famous crab cake. The HOLLANDAISE?? literally danced in my mouth. The crab meat was so tender and buttery! Only difference I would've loved if the smoked paprika that was on the deviled eggs to also be featured on the Benedict! Over all it was a very lovely and sense awakening experience 9/10

Novice was the bartender and recommended the Proper burger. I added my typical fries and a Diet Coke. The burger came out quickly. Right off the bat, it's visually amazing. A properly stacked Burger is hard to find. The 2 best things about this burger are 1. The taste , and 2. The form of the burger. The taste is absolutely fantastic. The Gouda paired perfectly with the red onions and the perfectly cooked, juicy beef patties. The aioli was just enough and not overbearing, like looking at a painting of a castle and noticing the subtle blurred background of misty forest. The arugula added another layer of flavor that helped kick this burger into the highest echelons of Burger superiority. And of course, the brioche bun was perfect for this style of burger. It kept its shape while I gently smushed it down in my hands. The entire burger kept its shape and didn't fall apart like some other Burgers will. As I sank my teeth into the first bite, the first thing I noticed was all the flavors blending together. Each bite afterwards just added to my mystified and puzzled bewilderment. The texture was moist and soft. As I chewed and swallowed each morsel, I began to think to myself, is this it? Is my search over? Is this the BEST burger in the country? Never had I tasted such a wonderful burger! (Sorry In-N-Out 2x1, raw onions, chopped chilis, toasted bun, you are no longer on the top of my list). As I neared completion of my newly discovered epitome of gluttonous desires, a feeling of sadness started to take over. I would be done with the burger in a few more bites, and with that, my journey would conclude. I sat there, staring at what would be my final bite. The last bit of pleasure in between my slender fingers, still dripping with the juices God had placed there after it was grilled to perfection in the Kitchen. I placed the final delectable piece into my mouth. I spent what felt like an eternity chewing this treasure before finally gulping down the goblet of wonder. What came after was a feeling of pure bliss. I had finally done it. All the years, all the time dedicated to finding the best Burger ever, is complete. I called my wife and told her "Honey, it's time. I'm coming home." The fries were ok.
