Maman was packed with people but the line moved forward smoothly. The breakfast foods were tempting my nostrils. All of the pastries looked good. The cashier helped me decide which type of matcha was best for my desired taste. I ordered the special a banana pudding Iatte matcha and my friend ordered the coffee one. We were pleasantly pleased. I found a table after a short wait and our drinks came out relatively quickly.
Their omelettes are light and if you feel like getting a dessert for breakfast there's no one to stop you. Their drip coffee is amazing and there's no reason to not splurge on the large. The quiche Lorraine was lovely and comes with a crust that reminded me of a basque cheesecake. The Nutella beignet was a bit too rich but delicious.
Maman is always consistently good! It's usually my go to when I can't think of where else to go. There are lots of tables so it's solid work spot, although outlets are a bit limited. You'll find most of them upstairs and at the front by the windows. Today I got the new special banana matcha latte and honestly didn't like it.. it tasted like artificial banana, similar to a laffy taffy. I asked to switch to a matcha lemonade after a couple sips and the staff was super friendly and got me a new drink free of charge. Smashed avocado tartine is always a staple!! Will be coming back
Felt like stepping into the French Riviera at this location of Maman! Bustling with families, couples, and old friends meeting up. Really nice place to come on a weekend. The pastries were great -- highly recommend the almond chocolate croissant and banana loaf. Barista was super quick and lattes were great too. Friendly staff that moved quickly.
Beautiful interior with hints of floral above our heads. Amazing handcrafted drinks whether it's a simple hot chocolate or a spiked chocolate martini! Provide a handful of different pastries to choose from along with seating of your choice where they will then bring anything you've ordered, to your table with comfort. This place was so unbelievably cute, definitely come here for a small catch-up or an afternoon coffee.
We've come here several times and we're always pleased with our order. Today, we had the absolute pleasure of chatting up with Piola behind the register. You ever ask the waitress or cashier what's their fav things on the menu and you can tell that their response might be based on just upselling or moving you right along? This was NOT that. Our girl pointed out several items that she liked to get AND helped us customize each item--eg I like to get the sauce on the side, add chicken, add potatoes. It was honestly such a good interaction to start off our day and breakfast meal together. We cleared our plates, left no crumbs--ok wait I lied, I didn't finish the second half of my wrap and took it home lol. But you get the picture! Service great, food and bevs even better.
My first experience with this chain didn't go especially well, but I found an occasion to try a new location for them in the increasingly crowded Union Market district. It is separate from the major food halls and has its own two-level space. The baked goods looked appealing and I did succumb to a banana bread with walnuts and dark chocolate chips, but what I came for was a salad. Their hummus salad had marinated carrots and in general a mild set of sweet, savory, and sour flavors. They describe it as Morrocan, and the restaurant as a whole is somewhat French-inflected, so I was happy to find something that was labeled and was vegan and gluten free, which can be a challenge for this sort of cuisine. It's an upscale place with an upscale price. The service I received was on the front end a bit disaffected and on the back end confused; despite having a table number someone apparently struggled to get that I was seated at one of their outdoor tables. But there is some quality to be found here and it's a different flavor than in the other options in this area.
I frequent this maman whenever I want a chill place to enjoy a drink, like the matcha latte, or some pastries. Although I order a la carte usually, my latest visit was a TooGoodToGo pick up. For 6.59, I got the three pastries (attached photo) near their closing time. Luckily, these were the three pastries that I wanted! Super lucky. They all tasted fine despite the late pick up time, and glad I did the experience. Whenever I go to Maman, including this latest visit, the service was quick and friendly. The employees make sure I have a positive visit and the place keeps on drawing me back. This Maman fits well in this area, and I'm glad this Maman is accessible whenever I crave a sweet treat.
This is one of the cutest cafes I've been to and I see why it's packed. I hesitantly ordered the salted tahini latte (trying something new) and the waffles and bacon. I'm so glad the risk paid off. The seeds are not needed but still a good latte. I was also pleasantly surprised with the waffle topped with guava jam. I originally asked for it on the side but it was served on top. It was sooo good! I'm glad when these kind of mistakes happen. I'm a sucker for the hanging plants so decor was an added bonus!
The cutest cafe! Came on a Sunday afternoon and it was packed, which makes sense considering how much space they have. We were able to snag a table upstairs which would make a great remote work location if you find an outlet. My sandwich was lacking flavor, maybe more sauce would've helped. But enjoyed the coffee and mimosa. Would definitely come back to try some pastries.
This café has officially become my favorite spot to study. The vibe is calm and cozy, perfect for getting work done without feeling rushed. I usually grab a matcha (which is consistently smooth and not overly sweet) and their salmon croissant absolute perfection. Flaky, savory, and always fresh. It's the kind of place you can settle into for a few hours, focus, and actually enjoy what you're eating and drinking. Great atmosphere, quality drinks, and solid food, this spot never disappoints. Highly recommend if you're looking for a go to study café or a chill place to unwind.
I didn't expect to enjoy this place as much as I did. I've always wondered what their food was like, so I popped in for a quick breakfast date before yoga with flow well yoga. I was so impressed. The food, itself, was delicious. It was a little bit busy on a Sunday morning, but we were still able to find seats and the service moved pretty quickly. I also ordered an iced chai and a chocolate chip cookie with nuts. The chai was fine, but not my favorite. However, everything else was absolutely great. I didn't eat the entire bowl there and then, but I ate it it the next day and it was still just as good. For one drink, two bowls, and the cookie, we spent just over $50. But honestly, the bowls were pretty big and overall, I would say it was worth it. It's a very cute café vibe. Cute and casual. You can roll in with sweatpants or a cute little dress and honestly fit right in. I can't wait to come back and try something else.

Cute interior. Super popular on the weekends. Line is long but goes quickly. They have seating upstairs that's open during limited hours. There's outdoor seating. Seems ADA accessible. You can walk, metro, bike, and maybe bus here. Parking is limited and probably have to pay. Drinks are decent for price. I ordered a pastry for here and it took 30+ minutes and I had to walk up to counter to ask where it was. Cute ambiance but overall it's decent coffee/pastry shop for the area. read more

Service: wonderful and super friendly, despite how busy it was and the line I was in to get food/drink! Drinks: super delicious, and loved the "spring specials" (I got a matcha special). Although I didn't get food, I had no clue that they had so many gluten free options, so I will definitely be back when I'm in union market to try a snack or little meal! Ambiance: so cute, and surprisingly, pretty spacious (although I've heard that space can be limited bc of how popular this place is). read more

Wildly busy place. My pumpkin spice iced latte was quite tasty, but my pistachio croissant had a lot of filling in it which wasn't great. The lunch sandwiches people had looked super tasty. read more

Neighborhood coffee and cafe gem! Maman is the perfect little spot to grab a coffee with a friend or quick sandwich for lunch. From the pastries to the drinks to the food, I haven't had anything bad from here. The honey lavender latte is my favorite drink and Papa's breakfast bowl is my go to meal. On top of good food, the staff are kind and attentive. Laila has served me before and she provides good suggestions. read more
I'd start by saying the girl working near closing was extremely rude! I asked a few questions being it was my first time and the girl just ignored me! The cookies tasted burnt. I got a chocolate chip and a s'mores. I'd rather go to the market next time. The place is really pretty, such a shame. read more
Cute Maman location in NoMa! Came here with friends a few times to get brunch. They have a lovely menu that changes each season along with a variety of pastries and drinks. This location is beautiful, but does lack enough service to meet all customer needs - getting water to your table, etc. You have to bus yourself and seating is hard to come by. Overall, solid Maman that could use some improvements on their customer service. read more

Cute, bright and cozy cafe! Enjoyed stopped by for a quick bite. We tried the breakfast bowl and almond croissant. While the flavors of the bowl were great, it could use a larger portion of eggs since you get so many potatoes. The croissant was pretty good and went great with my flat white. Their vanilla honeycomb latte was so yummy. The cashier was very friendly and helpful! Highly recommend for a nice WFH cafe. read more

This is the cutest little cafe with very pretty decor. I've been here a few times, and each time had a crowd, but my order always came out fairly quickly. They have a variety of pastries that all look really tasty. I've tried their blueberry, cheese & thyme scone, as well as their chocolate chip and nut cookie. Both were great. I've also tried their chai latte in both hot and iced, and I always get it with oat milk. Also tastes very good. Although the barista put an excessive amount of cinnamon on my hot chai, but nonetheless, it was still a good drink. read more

I love coming to maman. It's close to my neighborhood and has become one of my favorite coffee shops. Fair warning that this place is ALWAYS packed, especially during the weekends. While there is an upstairs and downstairs, seats are first come first serve and definitely feels like the hunger games. The decor is adorable and has images of the founders and their grandkids sprinkled throughout. I try to switch up what I order each time but I recently got mamas breakfast sandwich and it's delicious! The brioche bread with the caramelized onions absolutely does something to me. Honestly may be my favorite item on the menu thus far. Outside of their coffee options, they have a nice selection of teas. read more

Maman's was a great start to a D.C. weekend. The line moves fast, so don't fret. Be prepared to share a table or get treats to go. Both the macchiato and iced coffee were delicious. We also shared a steak sandwich and iced olive oil cake. Beautiful space and great service! read more
I came here with a friend right when it opened. Of note, at 7:30AM (opening time), they have the croissants available, but it is not until 8AM (on weekdays), that the kitchen is opened. I got their specialty latte, which is a cardamon latte. I am not a coffee fan, but I love the spice added to the latte. I also got their andrea's everything croissant & salmon sandwich, which is like a bagel with salmon and cream cheese, but instead of a bagel, it is on a very fresh, flaky, buttery croissant. It was a bit salty given all the smoked salmon, but it just means they did not shy away from giving you the salmon. Our hostess, Paola was amazing in answering our questions, and the interior decoration was so cute! I will definitely come back to try some of their other items. read more
At this point, I think I have visited all of the Maman locations in DC. It is amazing that each location has been consistent in terms of ambiance, service and beverage quality. One of the things that I truly like about these cafes is that they all have aesthetic similarities, yet are different at the same time. I love the aesthetic at all locations and this one was no different. I have never actually had their food, but I always order the same matcha beverage and sometimes a vegan cookie. read more

I suggest trying other coffee shops in the area. Paying six dollars for a regular iced coffee is outrageous. Moreover, it took over 15 minutes to get my drink. read more

Overall, I really like this place! I went here to get a little bit of work done. I will say that they don't have a ton of outlets so I had to share. They have a nice lower level and then an upper level that you can go to as well. The seating is very whimsical and cute and dainty. They ran out of the pastries that I wanted to get by the time I was there so I ended up with this blueberry thyme goat cheese scone. I didn't quite love it, but I appreciated the artistry of it. It was a little bit hard and I wish it was a little bit softer to the touch. Overall, the service was really good and the person that I had helped me was really great. Off the strength of the service and the aesthetic alone. I would definitely return here. read more

It's a bit pricey, but I have yet to try something here I don't like! The inside is very pretty, and there's lots of seating. And the staff are always kind and ready to help! read more
A beautiful floral themed, French inspired bakery by Union Market. The pastries are freshly baked, and the nutty chocolate chip cookie which was featured on Oprah's Favorite Things, is a must try. The everything croissant is a show stopper, as are the other variations of croissants and seasonal cruffins. read more
Ended up here after buying a latte somewhere else that was less than great! So glad this was steps away to replace my previous order. This latte was perfect! Assuming I caught the rush, the wait was a bit long but totally worth it. Maman's aesthetic is so sweet and very cutesy. Next time, I'd love to sit and experience their dine-in services as I observed other customers who seemed to have wonderful entrées being delivered to their tables. Do: sit in and enjoy your meal! Don't: stand at the counter like I did. Looked like a total newbie until I realized they had seating for takeout orders. read more
My go-to spots for a pastry. This French-inspired cafe is such a fan favorite, we take all our out of town guests here! The service is always so great too. This location does tend to be a bit hot so in the warmer months, plan to dress light and maybe sit outside! But grab yourself a pastry (all are amazing) and an iced chia tea latte and you'll be such a happy camper! read more
