    Came on a sunday around 11am-ish and place was already packed. However its a mix of dine-ins and to-go's so and people dont linger too long so we were eventually able to find seating for 4-5 while waiting for our orders to arrive. The housemade hazelnut latte was delicious and i quite enjoyed that drink. the ham and cheese croissant was also fresh and a nice easy breakfast to-go in case we couldnt find seats. Pastries had so many options so there is usually something for everybody.

    Tahin late
    Dakota M.

    This cafe opens at 7am and was perfect for having a catch up conversations with a friend before the work day started for each of us. It was quiet enough inside with plenty of of seating inside. The pastries look delicious from behind the counter. I ordered the tahini latte which came with toasted sesame. This was the first time i've seen this on a menu and I am a huge fan! Was smooth and nutty and satisfying. I also ordered croissant with I think raspberry jam inside, half dipped in white chocolate. While this looked awful tasty, it was hard to eat and I ultimately threw 75% of it away. I didn't think it tasted very good as it was hard on the outside and there was chewing which made it hard for me to talk and catch up without gnawing on it. The choco donut with crispiness on top, my friend had and he said it was very soft and he enjoyed it. He ate all of it within 3 bites! Overall, I would come back here as this is a great meeting spot!

    Hot chocolates, extra charge for whipped cream

    Located near the Rockefeller Center Plaza and Nintendo store so was pretty crowded that day. Not as spacious as a few other Mamans I've been too. This location had small tables filling most of the area, close to one another; not cleaned between customers. Restroom available. Placed an order and waited by the counter, which got cramped with people waiting near the line to make orders. Hot chocolate was too sweet for me and whipped cream cost extra.

    Great place for food. They always have reliable quality and service. We have been to several in both DC and NYC. Haven't had the pastries but most of the items on the food menu and coffee drinks are fantastic.

    WHEN: Wed @1:30pm This bakery is so darn cute and lovely and I was sad we didn't have time to sit and enjoy. So instead, it was only a quick drop by for a cookie: CLASSIC CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE - $4.50 Yeah it's a solid and yummy chocolate chip cookie! No Complaints!

    A friend and I went to the CJ Hendry flower market nearby at Rockefeller Center and then stopped by maman for a quick coffee. I loved the earthy vibes with the plant life through the establishment. We ordered at the counter and then found a table. We had the vegan pumpkin carrot cake, spiced apple danish, a couple lattea. The pastries were absolutely delicious, not too sweet but still bursting with flavor...perfect for fall. I normally don't get "special" lattes, but I had seen so much hype about this vanilla honeybutter with sweet corn foam latte and how it was reportedly "not too sweet" that I felt compelled to try it. Unfortunately, as I feared, it was still way too sweet for my taste -- the latte itself and the cold foam were both sweet, so it ended up being a bit of an overload for me. I'll just stick with my usual almond milk latte next time. But overall it was a pleasant experience, and the staff were friendly and efficient. Definitely a bustling place on the weekends!

    Quiche
    Francie M.

    Desperate for a hot egg breakfast without a sit down experience I stopped by here for a slice of quiche. They had three flavors and I got the spinach artichoke. It was fine - the crust was undercooked as it usually happens. Logistics: - indoor seating only - limited street parking nearby - extremely crowded on a Saturday morning- be prepared to get it to go if no seats are available - very narrow storefront. Tricky for mobility aids

    Mocha...best mocha I tried on the trip!
    Chris W.

    We visited this specific location a couple of times during our trip. It was just a 5 min walk from our hotel and we were very impressed with the quality of everything...especially being a chain. Additionally, it seemed reasonably priced for the area. Hands down this was the best mocha I tried on the trip. They also made an outstanding Tahini Latte with Honeycomb too! The baked goods are all outstanding and especially their pistachio croissants with chocolate which aren't pictured. There are quite a few Mamans in NY just wish they would take these over to the West Coast!!! They would be a massive hit.

    I chose this spot for a quick breakfast as it had great reviews and was in walking distance from our hotel. We got there fairly early and though it was raining outside, we managed to snag a table for four right after we ordered. The interior was small but very charming and all three of my guys found something on the menu that called to them for breakfast. We ordered, got our number and sat down together with our coffees and juices. We dined under a faux leafy arbor and not only was everything beautifully presented to us, it tasted just as good! In our quest to eat authentically in NYC (no fast food or national chains), this was a wonderful pick for our first breakfast!

    Martha Stewart's lemon crème brûlée sugar bun croissant, pistacho croissant
    Jessica T.

    Pastries are delicious. The ambience is vibrant. Everyone is having a conversation and it can be loud but it's a great vibe.

    Avocado toast
    Ash B.

    Honestly, this avocado toast was a godsend. We ordered right before they stopped serving mains for the day and this was much needed sustenance. The heirloom tomatoes were a nice touch.

    Kristin A.

    This was my second time ordering delivery from Maman to my office but I tried mostly different items including some of the Martha Stewart collection items. My order came on time, was packaged nicely and was accurate. I loved the crème brule sugar bun and the speculoos cookie. Some of my coworkers raved about the apple turnover and the kitchen sink cookie. The pecan streusel cake was a little dry. The croissant cubes and swirls are very big and hard to cut to share, but tasty! I love trying new things from Maman and would definitely recommend their baked goods!

    Michelle L.

    Always a reliable stop for brunch or a pastry! I am seldom disappointed when I come to maman! This time, I tried the kouign maman and tartine au saumon. Both delicious! The salmon tartine was quite filling. I love the kouign maman! Be sure to eat it day-of! Imagine a croissant that has been caramelized. So tasty. My favorite spot for a quick coffee/pastry! Would come here over Starbucks or Dunkin any day. It can get busy though- and service is perhaps not as fast. Worth the wait in my opinion! I would recommend maman and will definitely be returning!

The RW menu was nice and well worth it, but as for me, I saw something else that I would rather have than the choices on the RW menu. I decided to go with the duck confit, but I did not read the menu thoroughly to see what side it came with. When it came out I saw it was with Flageolet bean Ragout which unfortunately I cannot eat, so I had to let Anna our server know. I was hoping she would keep the duck and just replace the side, but it looked like they made a completely new order, what service. My wife and son both ordered from RW menu and chose the boeuf bourgigninon which was so delicious, very tender beef and smooth mashed potatoes. We decided to also order escargot and French onion soup. Our service was just amazing from Anna our main server and the support servers who brought out our orders and to those who made sure our glasses were never empty. Of course the prefixe dessert was also delicious. Just super happy we learned that it was restaurant week and that we were able to experience it.

    Oh, what a delight to stumble upon Marseille on a rainy day!…read more We stumbled into Marseille completely by chance. We were actually going to a different restaurant but the rain came down so hard, we needed to go somewhere closer. I want to come back and have a true meal here! (Apparently they do a discounted steak frites and that is my love language.) The staff very kindly accommodated us even thought we didn't have a reservation (we were only two). Everything in Marseille is done with a purpose. The waiters are all dressed in the same charming uniform. The cocktails are crafted with certain flavor profiles in mind. The menu is there to whisk you away to a little, remote village in France - except, you're on 9th Avenue in New York City and the street is littered with pushy walkers and....well, you get the drill. Anyway. Marseille begins the meal with the most excellent bread service. A fresh, hot sourdough roll is placed upon your table, along with herbed butter and oil. I could make a meal out of that bread alone. My cousin and I split the mushroom ravioli as an appetizer - a little salty, but excellent. The flavors were very well balanced and six was a good number for a dinner portion. We actually opted for the French onion soup as out main, and it was probably the best French onion soup we've ever had. There was also so much, we could not finish it. My Francais G&T was unbelievably good and came with a cornichon. Actually, shout out to our busser (I wish I got his name!) who accidentally took my drink-pickle away and had the waiter bring over more to make up for it. It was such a kind gesture and he deserves to be awarded for his attention to detail. (The wait staff overall was excellent. Kudos to the tall waiter with the snake ring and the shorter waitress with the great eyebrows. Again, I wish I got their names!) Oh, and as a bonus - they gave us some incredible truffles as a parting gift because we didn't stay for dessert. Like I said - the attention to detail here is on point! Overall, this is a fabulous spot. I would love to try brunch here!

Our waiter was super friendly and attentive, with a great sense of humor that made the whole dinner even more enjoyable.

I especially recommend the heirloom tomato salad--it was the perfect balance to all the richer appetizers. For my main, I ordered the duck à l'orange. The plating was beautiful, and they even brought some fire into the presentation (the only picture I managed to take ). The duck was cooked to perfection--juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The parsnips were okay, although I wasn't a huge fan of the pairing with the duck. We ended the night with a dessert recommended by our waiter. It was some sort of cloudy foam with candy on top.

A classic done very well. And although it's not exactly French, their burger was superb. Served on an oversized grilled English muffin, it had a juicy patty topped with melted Gruyère. And the fries? As good as any you'll find in a bistro in Paris. A terrific discovery and exactly the kind of old-school restaurant that's getting harder and harder to find.

While the French Onion soup was still a stand-out dish, the painfully slow service detracted. There appeared to be a single waitress working. I didn't notice during my first visit if there were multiple servers, but the first time I did hear the waiter advise another table that the kitchen was behind and there would be a wait for food. (This didn't affect me since on my first visit I only ordered soup.) Same thing happened this time, and there was a significant delay between our soup/salad course and entrees. We were told the kitchen was backed up. this is apparently the norm. For appetizers, the French onion soup was a gold star dish. My friend had the goat cheese salad which she said was also very good. The Chicken Cordon Bleu was good, and a hard-to-find dish in NYC. While eating our entrees, the server never checked on how things were or if we needed anything. Once finished, we sat there for a long time waiting for our plates to be cleared, and finally had to "announce" that we were done and request our dessert (as we had ordered the prix fixe menu). For dessert we ordered the Dame Blanche and Profiteroles. I would recommend neither. The ice cream (in both) was poor quality, crystallized and not creamy. A real shame. In all, the meal too 2.5 hours due to the slow service. The soup remains fantastic. I'm downgrading my review to recommend this spot only for soup and salad and not a full, hours-long meal. For that, it's 5 stars, for a full meal a middling 3.
