Wow! The ambiance tells the whole story! Such great intricate details on decoration. The quality of pastries matches! I had the almond chocolate croissant and it was delicious. The staff was friendly and there plenty of indoor seating. A great place to sit, relax, or work. Highly recommend! read more

I was a bit less enchanted with maman at this visit. I ordered the farmhouse granola parfait and an iced pumpkin spice matcha latte (seasonal offering). After seeing the meager offering of the prepackaged parfait ($10 for about 4oz of yogurt), I ordered a wrap in addition [I also misread 'almond butter granola' as 'almond butter, granola' so was expecting something slightly different]. The wrap was much more substantial but just mediocre in flavor. Each ingredient was segregated in the wrap, which made for a nice presentation, but didn't translate in practicality--each bite was only one ingredient instead of an amalgamation of the ingredients. The pastry offerings looked less plentiful and less fresh than my initial visit. The food is a bit slow to come out, considering the amount of preparation it should take. Similarly, the drinks take a while also as there was only one barista. Still, a nice environment with nice soft tunes--I was able to get some work done (lots of others seemed to be doing the same midmorning on a weekday). read more

Great spot to take a little break for some coffee. Stopped in for a coffee after a red eye. Enjoyed the ambiance/decor and returned for a 2nd visit. Tried Mama's Signature Pumpkin Pie Latte. Good. Second visit, had a standard hazelnut latte. The pastries are good. Tried the Apple Chai Pecan Roll and Almond Croissant. Definitely will visit again when I'm in the Navy Yard area. read more

Looking for a place to have an Amazing latte with a friend, indulge in a decadent pastry and get some work done all while taking in the cutest aesthetic...go to Maman!!! I went around 9:30 am to the Navy Yard location and wasn't disappointed! Disclaimer: parking in this area can be real sketchy and if you park in the lot and decide to make it a work day, be prepared to pay $35 in parking! Otherwise, my latte was great, my croissant was perfect and it was a pleasant experience working from the cafe as well. They offer free wifi and corner spaces that's perfect for WFH jobs! The noise level picked up at certain parts of the day but it wasn't a huge distraction. Everyone was really nice and ordering was super easy. I would like to visit the Bethesda location to do a comparison but I'd absolutely make it a habit to work in a space like that often. Lastly, who can resist an aesthetically pleasing cafe?!? read more

Maman is so beautiful. The space is delicate, classy and filled with goodies. I usually just grab an iced latte and from time to time a baked good. But upon my last visit, I discovered a seasonal iced latte that I'm now obsessed with: caramel-banana iced latte. I ordered it off intrigue alone as well as my self awareness that I'm banana positive. My fear of it being too sweet, or too artificial tasting was soothed upon my first sip - it was smooth,l and delicious with just the softest notes of banana and caramel. (I asked for no whip cream but it typically comes with that as well.) I will be grabbing this on repeat until it is so longer on the menu. This drink alone I'll go out of the way for. But overall, this Maman location is solid. It's clean, beautiful and always with great service! read more

Not sure why everyone raves about this coffee-- it has a weird burnt flavor that makes it too smoky. I did not enjoy it at all. I also ordered the chocolate chip cookie with walnuts which was good but taste as if it were baked a few days ago. Overall a skip for me-- won't be back. read more

Probably the best coffee shop in DC. The food and drinks are top tier. Lots of options for breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Vibe is good and I recommend stopping here if you're in the area. read more

Lavender Latte was great! Medium strength for caffeine Tasting. Blueberry goat cheese scone is what it makes the trip worth it! Amazing tasting as you take a bite out of it... great combination and a bit of crunchy outside then inside it's soft and scrumptious. Chocolate chip cookie is the cookie! If you're a chocolate fan... try this cookie and I think it's the best in DC. It's not overrated with lots of sugar or nonsenses. It's just right! The service is alright. But quick so no complaints for this one. read more

Best coffee shop I can find within the navy yard. Ample seating and amenities. Perfect for both a business meeting and a catch up with colleagues. The coffee is decent but the pastries and food are indeed superior. Service is fast and friendly. I prefer the cold brew and the Oprah dessert. Sometimes I ask them to warm my pastries since everything taste better warmer. read more

I always love Maman's seasonal offerings and the beautiful decor inside. They always have a fun twist on classic pastries that both look and taste great. The hot food is decent but my omelette was a little too well done. The staff at the register could be a little more helpful given all of the options, but I've never had an issue with my order. read more

I am.a coffee snob..I admit that. Asked for a vanilla latte, and it was perfect. I am constantly asking baristas for the lattes "half sweet" because they pump the living daylights out of my drink. I did not have to do that here...color me shocked. The inside is pleasant. Clearly reminds me of chilling in the countryside somewhere. Always nice to have your food and drinks made fresh and delivered on an actual plate. Not just any plate, but the plates your granny may have scatted in her China cabinet. Price point is umm...expensive. 30 bucks for coffee, sandwich (ham and cheese) and a cookie. But you are paying for the experience, food quality, and let's be real....eating tasty food on actual plates. Will definitely come back as a treat to myself. I went on a Sunday before the snow storm, so it was decent. It's in the navy yard, and I paid for parking nearby (5 bucks for an hour). Don't let that scare you. Give this place a try. read more

They got my order wrong and then refused to re make it or do anything about it. Absolute terrible customer service and attitude.

Thank you maman for moving to the area! I absolutely love it here. The decor is top notch, it makes me forget I'm in the Navy Yard, and it puts me in a hyper focused mood. I accomplish so much when I work from here. There's plenty of seating and the flowers make the place so serene. It helps that the food and drinks are also delicious. They have savory dishes from sandwiches, bowls, and salads to quiches and a display of uniquely flavored sweet treats. I haven't been disappointed yet with anything I've ordered here. Their coffee drinks are also wonderful. They usually have a small seasonal menu by the cashier. My favorite drinks have been from that menu, so don't forget to take a look at it. They also have boozy drinks, I haven't ordered one yet, but I'll report back when I do. Overall, you won't be disappointed coming here. 10/10 would recommend. read more

A new coffee shop in navy yard! It has a lot of natural light and seemed to have a lot of tables around the cafe. The decor was very whimsical. When we got there, there were a lot of people at tables working and having their coffee. We ordered coffee and lunch for take out. We did not have to wait long. The coffee was good. I had a honey lavender latte. I liked that the lavender was not super overwhelming. I had a crogel that had smoked salmon and cream cheese. It was a tasty treat. read more

Service is not attentive and the Wi-Fi is horrible. It felt like I was back in the 1990s. Even though it was not a busy hour, I saw that there were many tables that had dirty dishes on them and were yet to be cleaned. I appreciate that this café uses ceramic cups instead of disposable cups. The ambience would be perfect for studying if the Wi-Fi was better. read more

Stopped by maman for a quick meeting, and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed being in there. Though I only got a coffee, the customer service was great, and the atmosphere was pretty relaxing. They have a good amount of seating inside (great space to work for a change of scenery), and a few tables outside. Seems like a great alternative to Stars or Dunks read more

This Maman location at the Navy Yard is one of the cutest (possible the cutest) bakery/coffee shops that I've ever stepped into. I love indoor plant decor and porcelain china with traditional patterns so Maman's style made me happy. I ordered a cup of ginger tea, a cheddar and scallion scone, which was just what I expected from a savory scone, and a side of mixed greens, which was very fresh. I also got to try their mango pastry and their carrot cake with walnuts and, while both were great, the carrot cake definitely stood out. Staff members were very kind. read more

I love this place and come maybe once a week. Their food is excellent, the coffee drinks are both good and consistent (you know how some places are kind of a crap shoot if you're going to like what you get that day? I always like what I get at Maman). Prices are a little high but the quality is also good. Ambiance is beautiful and you don't feel rushed, although it's not ideal for working from there because their internet isn't great and it dropped mid call. read more

Love that maman has made its way to Navy Yard! The staff was all hands on deck for their grand opening today. Everyone was happily greeting customers and providing A+ service. The baristas did great at making drinks even with a minor system error occurring. Definitely will be frequenting this spot for their nutty chocolate chip cookies and variety of hot/cold drinks. I also got their Quiche Esther for the first time which came with squash, cheese and kale. It was quite a generous slice and very tasty! read more

The staff is very nice and the shop is cute. I find the pastries to be very dry, however. The croissants are dense and not flaky. The cruffin is dry and hard. The PB&J Cruffin looked so good, but I was very disappointed.i went first thing in the morning, yet it already tasted stale. The Raspberry White Chocolate Heart Croissant wasn't any better either, it was was as dry as a rock and flavorless. I ended up throwing it away. The Nutty Chocolate Chip cookie wasn't bad, just a little small. The regular chocolate chip cookie was extremely dry and as hard as a hockey puck. read more

A 3 because my wife absolutely loved the pastry and the coffee was delicious. Sadly, the service and delivery fell short on this visit. I ordered an iced coffee; clearly available on the menu. What I got was a hit drip coffee with a few ice cubes dropped into it. I asked for a cup of ice, which I received. After pouring some coffee into that, my original cup had some room. The barista graciously added some more ice to it. I had asked for "room-temperature" coffee and they told me they didn't have that. It was all hot. read more

Just looking at the interior of this cafe made me really happy! I love the kinds of plates and cups they use and I thought the cashier was very kind too.

Also this place was a quick 5min walk from the metro station and it wasn't too crowded on a Friday around 4pm. read more
