What truly sets Maman apart is its commitment to quality and variety. While it is first and foremost a coffee shop known for its great coffee and tea selection, the menu extends far beyond a simple cup of joe. The pastries are a highlight, baked in-house and ranging from classic croissants and pain au chocolat to unique offerings like the flaky Kouign Maman or the indulgent Nutella Beignet. The cookies, in particular, have garnered a loyal following, with Maman's Nutty Chocolate Chip Cookie being an especially famous, Oprah-approved treat loaded with bittersweet chocolate chunks, walnuts, almonds, and macadamia nuts. This balance of classic French staples and creative, signature desserts ensures there's always something new and delicious to try.

For those looking for a full meal, Maman offers an extensive menu for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Their "Maman Classics" are a favorite among locals, featuring dishes like Anna's Belgian Waffles and the hearty Papa's Breakfast Bowl. The Smashed Avocado Tartine, a customer favorite, is a testament to their focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients. The menu also includes a wide array of salads, sandwiches, and wraps, providing plenty of healthy and vegetarian options. From the savory Martine's Steak Sandwich to the flavorful Elvira's Vegetarian Wrap, each dish is crafted with care, offering comfort food with an elevated, European flair. The ability to cater to different tastes and dietary needs, with a menu that includes everything from rich comfort food to light, healthy options, makes Maman a versatile choice for any occasion.

The cafe's welcoming atmosphere extends to a variety of patrons. It is a family-friendly establishment, with amenities like high chairs and a kids' menu that make it a great option for parents. The space is also LGBTQ+ friendly and a transgender safe space, fostering an inclusive environment for everyone in the community. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite on your way to work, settling in for a long afternoon with a book, or meeting friends for a catch-up, Maman provides a charming and accommodating setting. The option of outdoor seating is a significant bonus, especially on a beautiful day, allowing guests to enjoy their coffee and pastries while soaking in the vibrant energy of the neighborhood.

Such a cute and cozy vibe! An amazing place to read and relax. The honey lavender latte was delicious and perfectly sweetened. I love a chocolate chip cookie and this was perfectly crispy! Would definitely stop by again! ✨🪻

This is absolutely perfect for a date.They have the most gorgeous ambience and the food is so so good too!! We had their smashed avocado toast with roasted potatoes both of which were amazing ❤️Will definitely come here again!!

Love this place for the fact that they didn't turn it into a workspace. Usually you go into other cafes and there is silence, all the tables are occupied and one person is working at each of them. And there you feel like you're in a library. But with this cafe I have a different feeling! I like to meet friends here. I usually order an almond milk latte, it's quite tasty. The pastries are good too, especially in the morning.

While the staff were nice, they didnt do much except handing me a free cup of coffee coupon for a piece of hard plastic i found in the middle of my omelette… the lady said so sorry i will take to the chef and that was it.

Poor packaging for delivery - I received my coffee spilled. And in the end found a piece of plastic under my sandwich. Food is good though
