    Almond croissant, delicious
    Aarti B.

    Beautiful cafe, skip the entrees and just get the delicious pastries! The pastries sell out by early afternoon (we came back the following week earlier in the day to snag them!) It gets pretty packed inside with a few tables outside. My hubby and I had a hard time finding seating at 9am on a Friday morning (luckily someone ushered us to grab their table as they were leaving). The beignet Nutella hazelnut filled donut and crispy Almond Croissant filled with creamy decadent frangipane (almond cream) was delicious! Both pastries hit the spot! I wasn't a big fan of the Raspberry Croissant for Valentine's Day. I thought it would be filled, but was just a raspberry glaze on top with a dollop of whipped cream cheese. While I didn't order any entrees at this location, I've had 3 dishes at different locations (Bethesda & DC) and sadly not a fan of any of them. I didn't like the Shakshuka egg tomato stew, Avocado Toast with under ripe avocados and burnt toast, or Papa's Bowl overloaded with home fries and not enough sauce or eggs. I'll be coming back to pick up some pastries bright and early next month!

    I saw this little bakery and decided to go in. There was e line. Interior is really cute and everything looks good however prices are insane. I decided to go for a cookie. With tax just $5. It was dry and not good. My friend took me straight to Lidl after where you can buy amazing pastries for 49 cents to a dollar. This place is not worth the money.

    This cafe is so beautiful inside and outside, the menu has a wide variety of options and the staff and service were friendly and fast. It is a small cafe and lap top free environment, which is a good thing with such a busy and popular cafe. I went on a Sunday so it was really busy but I was able to get a table and place my order fast. My drink and meal came out quickly. My matcha was delicious and you're able to add flavors, I added lavender. I order the quinoa and chickpea salad and everything tasted so fresh, it was sweet and savory. I can't wait to try it again because so many things on the menu sounded good.

    smashed avocado tartine
    Katie H.

    We came for breakfast on a Saturday, and it was quite busy. While we were in line, people were coming in to hold tables and we had to go eat outside, so just something to consider on busy days. We ordered the Nutella beignet, avocado tartine, banana bread, almond croissant, and cheddar scone. The Nutella beignet was SO good, filled with plenty of Nutella. The croissant was good, but quite mushy in the center. Cheddar scone is always a great pick--one we commonly go to--it almost gives cheesy scallion cornbread vibes. The avocado tartine was very tart, maybe too tart. The avocado gets lost in the tartness of it, but it sure looks pretty. The caramel latte is probably the best of the ones we've had. The hazelnut latte was far "nuttier" than I prefer, and the mocha doesn't have as strong of a mocha taste. The caramel is a perfect balance. Super cute plates, friendly service! The food and coffee are hit or miss, so it's a bit overpriced for the risk. Just wish there were more places to sit.

    Cute French bakery and cafe in mosaic. In love with the decor and cups and plates. Limited seating they recommend it to be "laptop free" Service is quick, and if you eat in the cafe, they have beautiful china ware

    Maman (translates to Mom) is a French inspired cafe that originated from NYC and we now have a few locations here in the DMV, yeah! There is also currently a $10 off coupon if you spend $20+ and must sign up to claim the award online. This location at Mosaic District has a tight seating arrangement and I felt awkward staring down at folks for a table to open up given the limited space. I felt that there was no other choice other than to patiently wait as it was raining cats & dogs and didn't want to take the items to-go and/or eat outside at their patio space. My friend stood in line to order our food while I was on the look out for an open table. Luckily, our wait time was minimal and under 5 minutes (score)! Now, it was our turn to be stared down at while we ate our food haha. The staff are lovely and offered to warm up our cookies. The plate wear is beautiful and would order all of the items below again . . . with the exception of the nutty chocolate chip cookie as I don't think it is unique compared to other other chocolate chip cookie with nuts. Maybe my taste palate is off as it is evidently one of the more popular cookies as it was voted as Oprah's favorite things in 2017 though it's a bit too sweet for me (sorry, Oprah). +andrea's everything croissant & salmon sandwich - smoked salmon, lemon whipped cream cheese, everything seasoning, cucumber, pickled onions & herbs on a homemade everything croissant bun +nutty chocolate chip cookie (voted oprah's favorite things in 2017) +sesame tahini dark chocolate cookie (vegan) +hot salted tahini honeycomb latte +nutella beignet The tahini cookie and latte were exciting items to try as I've not consumed anything like this elsewhere and thought it was done well. I also enjoyed the chocolate pearls on top of the nutella beignet which elevated the texture with a subtle crunch. Under the "Classics" section of the menu, I was intrigued by all the names associated with the food items. My assumption would be the original Mamam staff members though thanks to Andrea for introducing a lighter and "refined" version of what would normally be a bagel with lox. I ate it as an open faced sandwich and liked that the pickled onions were not too overpowering. I would have enjoyed my experience a bit more if it weren't for the initial awkward experience of watching other diners like a hawk. While eating, I had the lingering feeling of being rushed to eat as there was a queue of other guests waiting to be seated. I wanted to give other diners the opportunity to sit and enjoy their meal to save them the trouble of awkwardly holding their to-go bags and staring for the next table to open up.

    Contrary to some opinions, I actually appreciated the no-laptop signage. I hoped it would encourage people to sit and enjoy coffee with a friend, and make it easier to find a table. However, the space is so small that there's very limited seating, and what is available is tightly packed. As a result, it doesn't quite deliver the cozy, inviting experience you're expecting. To be fair, the food itself was good. That sad, I don't usually fixate on "little details" at cafés or bakeries, but I do when the price point is higher. A cup of steamed milk, tea, drip coffee, a small pastry assortment (three croissants), and avocado toast comes in just south of $40. For that cost, sitting at a table that barely fits the order and places you inches from the next guest is not ideal. Because of that, it's not a place I'd plan to visit again.

    I stopped by Maman since I got to my nail appointment a bit early so I went and grabbed a cup of matcha and a Lavendar sliced pastry. Both my drink and pastry were delicious. My matcha wasn't overly sweetened but I did ask for some vanilla flavoring. Service is good as well. They were busy but worked 2 registers and the line moved quickly. The decor is beautiful inside but it's just really crowded and a bit awkward when you're waiting for your orders to come out.

    Pastries
    Annzie A.

    This was my first time at maman and it did not disappoint. We went on a Sunday, so PACKED is an understatement. The line to order was short, but the wait for drinks was almost 15 to 20 minutes. The special drink menu was posted on a wall behind customers standing at the counter.... Which is a little strange. Typically it's behind the counter/barista so it's easier to see when ordering. Instead, behind the counter was a picture showing the different types of espresso beverages. We didn't look for any seats inside the establishment since it was already crowded, instead we found seating across the street. The decorations are very cute, the wallpaper matched the espresso machine, speaking of which, why was there only one espresso machine for such a busy establishment! Because we were already on a coffee marathon, I decided to order something different and chose a salted tahini honeycomb latte & Martha's crème brûlée sugar bun. The drink was a little heavy on the tahini, but I was grateful that they added very little ice as requested. The bun was delicious, although it could have used a little more of the sugar on top and I just wish they had the ability to warm up the pastries that are sitting there for hours. There's timed parallel parking in front (towing enforced) and garages nearby.

    This might be my new favorite cafe! The decor, service, and food are all top notch! We had Fabiola serve us and she was amazing ! She helped move our strollers to the "parking" station so myself and my mom friend could eat a bit more freely Definitely coming back and I don't even mind that they close at 6

    Cute vibes. Delicious pastries. You get points and rewards when you sign up for their loyalty program. Service was still great. The only eh factor during the winter is space. This venue was smaller than their Miami location. It was too cold to sit outside. I went on a Sunday before 9. So glad we did because we bet the crowd! The tables for 2 were kind of tight and not enough space for all of our food options. I'm going to check out the Court House location next!

    Compared to the other Maman's, at least I had room to sit down inside and had time to admire the floral aesthetics of this location. Over here it feels rushed; I was able to get my drink and dessert but was scrambling to find a place to sit down. Unfortunately that same visit was also the day where it started to rain. It wasn't too bad but it was enough for me to question considering on getting a togo cup for my visit. I ended up getting a Matcha Latte and a Cinnamon Roll. The Matcha Latte was warm and it was a bit bitter; not too sweet but when paired with a bite of the Cinnamon Roll, it complimented both flavors. The sweetness from the Cinnamon Roll made up for the bitterness of the latte and I liked the taste of it. Overall I don't have much to say other than Maman is a hit or a miss for me. I've been to the other locations; some good, some just plain awful. This one is in between.

    Leah K.

    Finally another Maman close by! Depending on the time of day there is a variety of pastry options. Really like their sandwiches and unique flavor coffee. Staff are nice and attentive. Only downfall is not having a lot of seating options. There are some seats inside and some bistro seats outside. Parking same for the mosaic area.

I've been looking for a strawberry matcha that has a creamy rich texture, with the perfect ratio of strawberry and matcha. I do appreciate the fact that they use real strawberry puree, but it didn't taste balanced to me. My husband got the mocha forest matcha, it was alright. I wasn't a huge fan of either drinks. I also felt the matcha wasn't ceremonial grade. It had that weird Starbucks fishy taste to it. We ordered breakfast as well- the breakfast indeed tasted homemade but not the kind that wowed me. More like okay wonder bread and some protein. Nothing that stood out or tasted unique. I left wishing I had spent the money elsewhere. Overall, I don't live close to this location so I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but if invited I wouldn't be opposed. It's a tiny spot with few seats and a shared small parking lot. It's better for to go orders. Casual ambiance.

I got the savory pie that was stuffed with an unctuous gumbo filling made with creole spices, the holy trinity (onions, peppers, and celery), and a generous portion of chicken. The pie pastry had a perfect flaky crumb that held the filling together. A friend had their breakfast sandwich, which had a rustic and delightful tang from the inclusion of sourdough in the biscuit batter that paired well with the thick slab of egg and crispy bacon. Incredibly savory items. I'm always gravitated towards how well a cafe can do a savory menu and this exceed my expectations. Friends I came in with who got their coffee said that it was very delicious, and the baristas can make a beautiful frothy and rich matcha latte. Its both parts technical skills to pull coffee or whisk matcha and sourcing of high-quality ingredients.

Their biscuit sandwiches are good for the biscuits, if at the high side of what they should cost when compared to nearby competitors.

I would likely swing by if I had to, but would avoid most of their drinks and probably focus on something small. They have fun designs for merch.

The barista talked to every single customer like they were an old friend -- including me -- and that kind of warmth made the whole experience so personal and welcoming. It was a little tricky to find at first since it's tucked inside a convenience-store-style space and the sign is pretty small (granted, I didn't have my glasses on, so we'll let that one slide). But once you find it, you'll see it's worth the hunt. I ordered the 12 oz Nutella latte, and wow -- it was so smooth. You still get that nice coffee flavor, but the Nutella adds this rich, nutty, almost creamy texture that makes the whole drink feel luxurious. It's the kind of latte that just goes down easy. Even with a line of customers, my drink came out in about two to five minutes. The craziest part? He wasn't using a ticket system -- just his memory -- and still managed to keep everything running efficiently. You can tell he cares about what he's doing. Overall, Loud and Roasters is such a gem.

I always get things iced and add the whip, so much better than hot coffee! Honestly though, the coffee will depend on the barista because it seemed to have a new person each month and it tasted so different even when I went back twice to get the same sampler. Thats my only reason for a 4 star. If you love switching up your coffee shops and discovering new favorites, the monthly sampler alone is worth the visit.
