Lovely coffee shop! We just had coffee and it was very nice, beautifully decorated but seemed short-staffed. The place is small and doesn’t have many tables, tables are also small, the issue is that most of them were dirty and full of plates from previous customers :( we had to seat in one dirty table. Coffee took a while, so they are not the fastest and we didn’t mind to wait a few minutes but being seated in a dirty table did not make our waiting very pleasant :/ anyways, the place has potential to bright up.

Went to Maman for the first time and had no idea they had multiple locations! Lovely place with super cute decorations and environment. Great coffee selection and good selection of baked items (will have to go back to try it)! My friend had a dietary restriction and they were super accommodating, checking twice to make sure they gave her the right order. Would recommend!!!

This location is a gem for people with friends visiting from out of town! From here you can walk to the high line (and hopefully do some perfume shopping next door at Kilian!).Mamam has the best sandwiches (we know this) but the latte selection is great!I recommend the Pistachio mocha latter (or ditch the coffee for a pistachio hot chocolate). If you substitute with pistachio milk as well it’s doubly as good! (Just and FYI it’s $12 which is pricier than the average $8/9 latte)Will be back with friends💙

I arrived at this establishment at 5:50 PM. The sign outside clearly advertised happy hour until 6:00 PM. However, upon entering, I was told happy hours not very happy and were no longer available, and instead I was offered morning pastries.If you’re closing the bar at 5:30, be honest and state that clearly. Leaving the signage up and then refusing to honor the offer is misleading and disrespectful to customers’ time and expectations.

Lovely place with great pastries and lunch options. We enjoyed the smoked salmon salad, the passion fruit ball and the pineapple cube. Everything was tasty, and the staff friendly!
