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!

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.

Hot chocolates, extra charge for whipped cream
kristin c.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

martine's steak sandwich and almond croissant iced latte
Jose B.

We stopped by Maman for breakfast before leaving the city, and it was the perfect way to end our trip. This has become one of our go-to spots whenever we're in NYC because we genuinely love their food, and once again, they did not disappoint. I ordered the steak sandwich along with an iced almond croissant latte, and both were absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and just as good as we remembered. You can really count on them for consistency, which is something I appreciate every time we visit. Before heading out, we grabbed a few cookies to go and wow, they were incredible. The perfect sweet treat to take with us and enjoy later. Overall, everything was perfect as usual. Maman never misses, and it's always a must-visit for us whenever we're in the city.

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!

Breakfast sandwich
Dot M.

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!

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!

I feel like I bought a truly ridiculous amount of petit gateaus here to try out and share with…read morefriends and we wound up enjoying most of them, some enough to buy twice. Went to the Flatiron store both times and didn't have to wait long to order. The staff were great and packed all of the little cakes nicely so that they survived the trek back to our condo. Mango--all around favorite, wound up buying like 4 of these cause half my friends preferred it and I liked it a surprising amount Blueberry--very mild, no tartness, not too sweet with good blueberry flavor Orange--fresh and orangey in the middle, loved this one Pear--reminds me of cinnamon apples (I guess this was cinnamon pears), which isn't my favorite flavor but others enjoyed Banana--made me sad cause I LOVE banana flavored stuff and this just... wasn't? It had old tasting banana paste in the middle assuming because it's real banana and not artificial, is tiny, and didn't taste good Yuzu--nice yuzu flavor and disappeared fast Cloud--forgot the actual name and apparently didn't take a picture, it had chocolate/hazelnut mousse with some sort of caramel and something crunchy, also delicious All of the petit gateaus were on the mild side which is a big plus for me. Appearance was top notch and the balance of cream to filling on point. I'd like to try some of the other pastries next time for sure.

Not too sure if I would say it's a must stop at but it's a great choice if you've never had these type of desserts before. The inside doesn't have many tables and it was pretty busy when I went, so I wouldn't expect to get a seat every time you come here.

I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!! I was blown away by the crispy edges and the interior wasn't too soft gooey either. The chocolate and walnuts added to the cookie enhanced the flavor even more! For such a big cookie the middle was cooked perfectly. Very chunky and sizable cookie too so I ate it throughout the day rather than one sitting!!

They are on the thicker side yet so incredibly soft on the inside and have a perfect crisp on the outer edges, top, and bottom!! Demitri was so kind and accommodated for my complicated and long order! I definitely recommend the Dark Chocolate Chip Cookie, it was so rich in flavor! The Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookie was not too sweet as the walnuts were the perfect balance! I think this is for people who are not too big on chocolate chips in their cookie. The Coconut Caramel cookie reminded me of a Samoa! You can taste all the coconut in the cookie and it was delicious! The Sticky Bun was so soft as well! 10/10!
