    strawberry citrus cruffin
    Aparajita S.

    This place was super cute and packed when we stopped by on Sunday for brunch! After browsing, I went with the Chicken sandwich and decided to try the Strawberry citrus cruffin along with a chai. The food came out pretty quickly and overall was impressed! The baguette bread on the sandwich was nicely toasted and came with a good amount of chicken. The cruffin was quite good and had a good amount of strawberry jam in there and loved the tartness so it balanced out the sweetness. The chai was also good and nothing remarkable but loved that it wasn't overly sweet. The staff were super friendly and loved the overall atmosphere of the place! Overall would recommend if you are close for either picking something up to go or dining in!

    I came here twice on a short visit to DC. The chocolate chip cookies with nuts are really moist with a lot of chocolate! Almond croissant was really buttery inside and crispy on the outside. My latte was the best that I have had in a long time. The decor inside this restaurant is beautiful.

    Love the ambiance inside with the plant greenery garden scene! It was busy but the food and drinks came out quickly. Service was great. The steak sandwich was so yummy, all the flavors and texture was on point!

    Honey lavender latte
    Rebecca C.

    5/5 coffee with fun seasonal flavors. Honey lavender was just the perfect amount of not too sweet. Small cafe which was not too busy during the weekday. Indoor lighting. Picturesque cafe with flowers overhead. Will have to go back to try pastries and the light lunch options!

    4/5 only because the pistachio crossiant was a bit too sweet and a little soggy, which is understandable because of the cream but have had a bit crispier elsewhere. 5/5 for the breakfast sandwich which has this candied bacon that made me nostaglic of Asian jerky. Lavender honey latte was perfect not too sweet, could still taste the coffee.

    I have heard good things about this place in NY but never got to go. So i saw this on my walk on a weekend trip to DC, i had to stop in. Got their signature latte with oat milk and it was so delicious.it was creamy and not too sweet. I wanted to try the tahini latte but did not feel adventurous enough. Our barista Sophie was a sweetheart because she also gave us a cookie on the house. The chocolate chip cookie was delicious with the coffee. I can't believe i waited this long to try it. The place is also nice to come and sit and get work done or chat with friends. Plenty of seating but i can tell they get busy.

    Their aesthetic is adorable! From the coffee cups to the decor, it's all so charming. It felt a bit cramped inside, though, since the tables were pretty close together. I enjoyed the maman breakfast sandwich - the avocado was creamy and the brioche bun was soft, however the candied bacon's sweetness was a tad overpowering (and I have a sweet tooth). The service wasn't the friendliest, especially when I asked a polite question. Still, I would come back to try their yummy looking pastries!

    macchiato
    Nicki P.

    Came here for a cookie, croissant, and a macchiato. The macchiato was pulled perfectly and had delicious flavor. The cookie was delicious, not too sweet, and the croissant was better than most other coffee shops. A great competitor to Tatte, I would definitely come back.

    Had to stop by this place due to the reviews I saw. Loved the place! Beautifully decorated, buzzing with life and wow how many options of pastries, food, drinks and some gluten free options for the sweet tooth. I ordered a Honey Lavender Iced Matcha, my husband ordered the Regular Iced Matcha. For food we good a few gluten free goodies like the Vegan Zucchini Bread and Raspberry bar. The gluten free options come from another bakery but they are still super fresh. Their in house pastries looked so delicious and amI bet they were, but being gluten free myself I chose those options. Big place, on a main street so only street parking or coming in walking. Service was excellent and super fast. Definitely a place to come back and try some other goodies!

    Sesame Tahini Latte - yum!
    Delana A.

    I love the variety of options on their menu! I stopped by for a very quick treat. The service was great & I loved the coffee! Can't wait to come back, sit down & give this place another try. I ordered: Sesame Tahini Latte w oatmilk -- 8/10 Vegan Zucchini -- 5/10 not that great, you could definitely make a better version at home. It was also really small & not worth the price. I should have gotten a different vegan treat.

    This is a LOVELY place for coffee, tea, and baked goods that I honestly almost passed up because of the crowd, but I am so happy I didn't. I was able to order quickly at the counter and find a wonderful window seat to enjoy my tea and Signature Martha Stewart cake. It was all divine. I would absolutely recommend stopping in for a treat when in downtown DC.

    This maman location is cute and nice to sit inside to work or chill or socialize. The cookies I got including the oatmeal and the sandwich cookie were so yummy too. Service is good as well.

    I was in DC for the weekend and had heard great things about maman! My boyfriend picked up pastries, so my review is solely based on the taste and presentation. I do think their cafes are cute, though. The pastries were not good. I always thought maman was an upscale pastry experience, but now I see they were parading as that while offering stale, cold, and bland foods. The martha stewart potato tart had a sour herbaceous taste to it. The croissant was stale and didn't have buttery, crisp layers I was expecting. The scone was the best pastry, but still not impressive. I would return for their coffee, but certainly will not order any food again.

    It was just okay. I got the smoked salmon croissant sandwich and it tasted mostly burnt. The kitchen sink cookie was good.

I tend to like sugar (too much) but try to drink black sometimes to try to appreciate the actual coffee flavor and for health reasons. Nice way to hydrate in a fancy way. Art work doesn't typically grab me but this art work did. If I had money, time, and comfortable accessibility to purchase, I would. I am sure I could order online and have shipped but I like to avoid shipping costs if I can. The realism and detail grab me in a way I like. The DC tunnel views that continue to beautify DC's respectable metro system show you that Jimmy is truly a local DC artist. It is reminiscent for me of Juniper Lane's music album cover Tightrope. I didn't notice this until after the fact but apparently when you buy art directly from here you get 15% of your purchase for more coffee here too. Wow. Why the missing star? This is kinda picky but if I wasn't looking or a foreigner, I could've accidentally added hand sanitizer to my coffee and well that's a big no no. Granted the bottle is labeled but I am not a fan of this being in the same area as the coffee add-ons. I know spacing is tight and maybe someone moved this bottle in this area but I don't get that sense and just think it's not a good setup. If this place wanted to expand , I think finding good NYC locations would be optimal as well. I am unsure if Philly would be good or not as an additional location as a coffee culture crowd. Of course I would still come back. It was worth the 15 min walk from the convention center in this hot August weather.

We were lucky enough to snag some goodies and got a bit of everything, we just weren't patient enough to wait to photograph everything. We did the Za'atar Gruyère Croissant, chocolate croissant, the cheese biscuit item they had (don't remember exact name) and the sfogliatelle. I'm in search of the best croissant in DC, so I regret not getting the regular croissant on this visit, but the chocolate croissant gave me an idea of what to expect. Buttery, flaky, crispy, with just the perfect amount of sweetness. The typical chocolate croissant was my personal favorite. When we asked what the most popular items were, we were surprised it wasn't the more classic bakery items, but we enjoyed what we tried. We want to go back soon to try some other items as well. My friend got a coffee and also enjoyed that! This is the perfect place to stop by for a treat if you make it in time!

Most recently went as a party of 4 and got the crab beignets, beef arepa, masa gnocci, and parillada for two. Crab beignets were our favorite - perfectly crispy and great flavor.

Parillada was a hearty entree and probably best for 2-3 people. This amount of food altogether was just nice. We probably could have ordered one more thing to be extra full.
