First time at a Maman location and after lunch was in the mood for a Matcha on a colder day in Georgetown. Popped in and had friendly service, ordered pretty quickly and before you knew it, there was my beautiful Matcha Latte right on the counter for me. The decor in this place is so nice and it was a very nice sized space! Overall a great first experience at maman. My only regret was not getting something from behind that sweets counter but an excuse to come back right? read more

The manager got in a screaming match with my husband because I didn't like the specialty latte & wanted to get it swapped with a CHEAPER basic latte. The manager told him "you are wrong, it is great, everyone likes it"... I didn't know that managers were supposed to operate off of their personal bias and tell the customer they're wrong for having certain taste preferences (the latte sucked and tasted like artificial almond syrup). He finally agreed to swapping it after my husband asked "aren't you as a manager supposed to take feedback from the customer?" This place is always packed and there's never anywhere to sit anyways. Don't bother going, you won't be able to understand any of the employees (if you speak English) and you might get screamed at if you don't like your drink. Maman, you should really educated your management on customer service! It's crucial to your business model and you have just lost a customer for life read more

Loved the vibe in here - beautifully decorated and their pastries and drinks are equally as pretty! The cherry blossom croissant cube was almost too pretty to eat! I stopped in on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon and it was super busy. The to go line to order moved quickly, but getting beverages took a bit longer. Also had quite a long bathroom line (15 people deep for two unisex bathrooms) and the bathroom I went in could have used a bit of attention. read more

Maman is never disappointing! I have been to Ardmore, multiple locations in NYC and now DC. Their smashed avocado tartine with sunny side egg is a piece of art. Their flavors and presentation are always on point. I always get their lavender hot chocolate but it was a very hot day in DC when I went so I skipped it but would recommend trying if you haven't! read more

This is going to be my proper review of maman. At this point I have been to this place about 10+ times. Let me start by saying that I love the interior. This pretty much is how I want my kitchen to look. The staff is wonderful. The service they provide is top notch. The baked goods are amazing! I have tried the banana walnut bread, Nutella brownie, Martha Stewart Kitchen Sink cookie and Martha Stewart Lemon Creme Brûlée Bun. All of these items are amazing especially the Lemon Creme Brulee Bun. That is epic like a 9 minutes song. The sandwich however was just okay. Nothing special. A bit over priced but then again this is your premium coffee shop so I cannot complain... or maybe I can? The coffee is a labor of love! Whoever the barista is deserves a lot of praise for the fabulous job they do. I would like to give this place 4.1/5 If you want to waste your down payment on coffee and stuff - this is the place to do so. read more

The inside has cute decor and feels cozy and the pastries on display look delicious. However, the prices are too high. I ordered the cherry blossom matcha latte which is a seasonal item. I opted for the large and it cost $9.90! I was not expecting it to be that steep and deterred me from adding on a $4.50 singular cookie. The drink itself was smooth, floral, and not too sweet. I couldn't really taste the matcha, but still enjoyed the uniqueness of it. read more

This was one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. I ordered the avocado sandwich and added extra salmon on top, and everything was absolutely delicious and very fresh! I also tried the London Fog tea for the first time, and I liked it as well. The presentation was beautiful, the place was very clean, and the design of the space was amazing: cozy, warm, and welcoming. My friend also really enjoyed her food. So we had a wonderful breakfast on our last day in Washington, DC. I recommend visiting this place if you are in the area. read more

I feel like this is a classic cafe to check out in NYC or DC, and I cannot speak for the food much, but the americano was mediocre at best. Sometimes americanos can have that sort of sour aftertaste of stale coffee and this definitely did. My friend tried the matcha which she said was pretty good. We also grabbed a jalapeno cheddar scone and a cherry blossom croissant cube. I didn't try the latter, but my friends really liked it. The scone was ok, surprisingly sweet. That being said, I feel like Maman has made a brand off of its ambiance and I can certainly attest to it. It is BEAUTIFUL inside, and perhaps it would be nice to stop by for breakfast (items going around looked pretty good). read more

Cute brunch spot in Georgetown. Ideal to get there before 10a to beat the rush as well as to get a parking spot nearby if you drive. Mainly smaller tables but two bigger shared tables in the back. Really cute aesthetic inside. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Food was good, a little pricey but expected for that area. Lots of pastry options as well. read more

This has quickly become my wife's (and mine too I guess lol) go-to café. With Inkind taking it from pricey to a solid deal and such creative coffees like blueberry muffin or the pumpkin spice matcha latte were always pulled back with intrigue. They have a pretty good smoked salmon crogel croissant/bagel thingamajig as well as a steak sandwich that will not fail. All of their pastries appear to be on another level in regards to creativity and deliciousness, and the few that we have tried have been solid options. This place really just gives a great positive café vibe so fitting right there in the middle of Georgetown. read more

I honestly love all of the Maman locations- super consistent with the quality and freshness of their food, pastries, and drinks. I also LOVE their gluten free options- that chicken sandwich on GF bread gets me every time!! For this location in particular, the only reason I have 4 and not 5 stars is due to the service and how busy it was!! Now honestly you should sort of expect this in Georgetown... but for some reason the lines were just super unclear to me (where did it start?! end?! there felt like multiple?!), it was difficult to tell where you food/drink would be ready, and it was just so crowded both indoors and outdoors. I was overstimulated lol. ^I think it speaks to how much this place is loved which is wonderful- just prepare yourself! Or, perhaps there are more "off" times that are less busy. read more

Lovely cafe with amazing decor!! They have a wide variety of delicious-looking pastries, as well as a full menu, including coffee and cocktails. Highly recommend! I did not like the texture of my scrambled eggs, like hard fried eggs broken to pieces. But that was a minor flaw compared to the total experience. read more

Maman is such a cute location that highlights menu items from the south of france and north america. I tried the make your own omelet and it was delicious with spinach! Also I had a very tasty Blueberry and cheese scone! To wrap it all up we tried both the Cafe et Noisette and Pajama Party which are seasonal cocktails for the winter. Go check out Maman for a lovely time with great service. We had the pleasure of working with Juan today for our order and he is lovely and extremely helpful! Bon appétit!!!!! read more

The desserts are amazing! I've had many so far and they NEVER fail. Prices are reasonable for the desserts and a little more pricey for the food. I haven't tried the food just yet though.

I came by and it was very very busy so we were unable to sit in and eat so this review is a coffee review only. The inside looked cute and clean (but like I said, very busy). I got the seasonal latte which is currently an almond croissant latte. It tasted like coffee with a bunch of almond extract, topped with whipped cream. It had such an alcohol taste to it. I did not finish it. read more

Another waste of time. Even though their door has Sunday hours at 730 a.m. they're not open until 8:00 a.m.. That's also the posting on Google They really should fix that. A pity because I wanted to try this place out. Maybe if they can spend money to change their hours on their door I'll come back but till then this place exudes false advertising read more

MY FAVORITE CAFE EVER! I absolutely love coming here for coffee and pastries Their seasonal tahini honey late is to die for and I totally recommend the smoked salmon croissant/doughnut. Can't go wrong with that. The pastries are so fresh and interesting, everything looks and tastes amazing! Not to say how cute it is inside! I would hangout there for a long time, hard to get better than this. read more

Today's visit was very disappointing. It all started with the assignment of our table. When we initially arrived, we did not mind waiting. Per usual, Sunday afternoons are very popular. They offered the patio and we opted to wait a little longer to get a table in the AC. After 20 minutes of waiting, we were finally called. There were 2 tables near the door that had cleared out and those would have fit well. However, they decided to bring us to the back of the restaurant where they shoved 2 people in the middle of 2 super loud groups where we barely could talk and kept having to lean and yell. Then the waiter. He kept socializing with the group on the outside and did not even check on us after he took our orders. We were missing silverware, waters, etc. but he kept chitchatting to others like we were invisible. Then the food. It took 25 minutes after ordering to come. All in all between arriving at the restaurant to getting our food it was over an hour. Not as pleasant of an experience as we've liked. In the last few times at this location, it's chaotic and the waiters were not as attentive as the waitresses read more

My sister and I were having a cafe day and maman was our second stop that morning so we shared the everything croissant and salmon sandwich which was lovely. The everything croissant is a fun switch up from the traditional bagel and the lemon whipped cream was a tasty addition. The chocolate sandwich cookie was a little underwhelming in comparison but their pastry case had a bunch of other treats I'd like to try on my next visit. French cottagecore isn't really my style but I have to admit it's a vibe here and my sister loved the decor, especially the blue floral plates. It's also surprisingly spacious so finding a seat wasn't as difficult as some cafes I've been to in the area. read more

REAL GLUTEN FREE BREADS! I cannot stand when business just use hard mass produced Udi's bagels, etc. Maman does not! I was served the most delicious baguette breakfast sandwich. I mean, I could not eat it fast enough. Martha's Summer menu is in right now and that means you need to be in too! That hibiscus tea was absolutely amazing. I was so tempted to get another to do but didn't. Regrets. I just love the ambiance here, it's obviously a very euro dining style. I'd pick the out back patio every time. Felt like we were at a cafe in France outside of all the hustle and bustle. The inside was busy busy but outside? 5-6 tables of relatively quiet and relaxed groups like ours. It was so nice! Would definitely visit again, only wish they had some (and more) of the gluten free desserts like others have! read more

Stopped by maman at George Town this morning and had a really nice experience. I ordered a vanilla latte, which was excellent -- just the right amount of sweetness without being overpowering. I also tried the smoked salmon sandwich with a fried egg on a croissant. The flavors were great and the croissant was fresh and buttery, though the egg was unfortunately overcooked. Aside from that, everything was delightful. The location is fantastic and the space looks beautiful -- cozy, clean, and inviting. I'd definitely come back and try more items on the menu. read more

Maman has quickly become my favorite George Town study spot. I love how this cafe cultivates third space from the study nook area to the back room which can easily host parties. They have a great range of sweet treats, drinks, and full meals whatever you're feeling at the moment. The matcha is great quality and definitely gets my stamp of approval. read more

I had coffee here today. As the store was closing my friend was using the restroom and they kicked me out as I tried to wait. They were still cleaning. I understand the staff was trying to clean but it's raining and I would have waited indoors for my friend 2 more minutes without getting wet. Do better Maman. Just because you have the Georgetown crowd doesn't mean you can be rude to patrons!! read more

A wonderful cafe bakery highlighting all your classic French favorites. Beautiful quaint ambience with gorgeous colors, coupled with a delicious menu, Maman is a perfect corner cafe to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee and a pastry to go with it.

I've been to the Jersey City location but this was my first time the Union Market location.

This is a great cafe, located right in the heart of Georgetown. This place has so many seating options with a study area in the front, which is for quieter seating and back seating with comfy seats and an outdoor patio. The coffee is always good and there are a lot of pastry options including croissants, scones, bagels and other tasty treats. It's a chain, but feels unique in each of its locations and has such a tasteful setting. I'll be coming back. read more

A little slice of Paris in Georgetown! I stopped by Maman in Georgetown and instantly fell in love with the cozy, charming vibe--it truly feels like a little piece of Paris tucked away in D.C. The café is beautifully decorated, with plenty of seating and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it perfect for catching up with a friend or settling in for a work session. I had the tahini latte, and wow--it was absolutely delicious. Nutty, smooth, and subtly sweet, it's definitely worth trying if you're looking for something different. One thing to note: the kitchen closes at 4 PM, so if you arrive after that, you're limited to desserts and drinks. (Thankfully, their dessert selection still looked amazing.) They also offer happy hour in the evenings with wine and cocktails, which is a nice bonus. There's a designated study area with free Wi-Fi, and the ambiance is quiet enough to get some work done. Whether you're looking for a cute café to work from, enjoy a treat, or just take a break from the Georgetown hustle, Maman is a great pick. read more

Busy but beautiful spot. The service was a little hectic, and they mixed up our order at first, but they fixed it right away with no issue. I got a square pastry with a dirty chai -- both were so good, I'd definitely get them again. A little pricey, but perfect for a cute quick coffee and pastry stop. The artichoke and spinach quiche was amazing -- super fluffy and flavorful. read more

This was my first time at Maman and it was lovely! The staff are friendly and welcoming, they communicated well and patiently as we figured out seating for my party of 2 on a bunch Sunday lunch time. My friend and I were seated in the patio space, which was calm and relaxing. The cortado was SHARP and delicious, an excellent sign of a quality coffee. I ordered the eggplant ratatouille and it was yummy. I also ordered a size of potatoes. The side was more than I needed in size, so I shared it with my friend. The one downside is that there was a long line for the bathroom. Do note that parking is LIMITED, so prepare to do street parking or pay at a nearby parking garage. I hope to be back again to try more of the menu, especially the yummy pastries in the display! read more

Rating: 4.5 My husband and I needed an afternoon pick-me-up and decided to look for a coffee shop while we were in Georgetown over the weekend. Maman was the closest place we found so we decided to give it a try. There was a bit of a line but it moved quickly. The pastries looked amazing! We decided to try the Nutella Beignet, orange Blossom, caramel cappuccino, and the ice salted tahini honeycomb latte. We were impressed at the unique options. I can say i've never seen these types of flavors offered at other coffee shops. The drinks were both delicious! There was plenty of seating when he went, and the place was quite pretty inside. But i'm taking half a point off for the fact that their Nutella Beignet was definitely a Nutella-filled donut. It tasted great but a bit misleading. Also the line to the bathroom was long since they only had one working stall. Overall, good spot! read more

If you're in Georgetown and need some caffeine I recommend maman, it kinda has it all. First of all the cafe is so aesthetic and stretches on for days. It has three separate areas to sit in. The furthest area is more isolated with tables for studying in peace. The staff were great and I could tell the barista took the drink making very seriously. You order in front and walk to the back to pick up your order which is nice for crowd reduction. The drinks came out quick and tasted great! I tried the new seasonal vanilla honey butter latte which was risky but paid off. It wasn't too sweet and had a cornbread taste mixed with coffee. 10/10 I recommend this drink and cafe. read more

Stopped by Maman for breakfast, the line was long but moved pretty quickly.

I had the most unexpected delicious latte at my last pop into Maman. The salted honeycomb tahini latte!!!!! I'm not new to tahini at all, being Lebanese, but the thought of it in a drink?!? Unheard of and frankly, iconic. I took a chance on something new and was instantly so happy I did. I'm glad I asked the barista which milks they offered because the second they said pistachio I was immediately impressed. I asked for the latte "less sweet" and it was just the perfect hint of sweet to mingle with the salty and smooth sip. The location was extremely busy but the baristas are cranking out handcrafted drinks left and right! The location is beautifully decorated and plenty of parties were enjoying their brunch and catching up over their delectable selection. If you are looking for something new, and generally enjoy middle eastern influence in your drinks and food, don't hesitate to try Maman. read more

I would give a "0" if it was an option for the appalling conduct that I received while with my daughter. I'm honestly very disappointed and saddened by my experience at Maman Georgetown. What should have been a pleasant visit turned into something uncomfortable and disheartening. While at the counter, I felt singled out and treated with suspicion when presenting my form of identification. The staff member examined it in a way that felt unnecessary and inappropriate--scratching at it and making remarks implying that it wasn't real, even commenting that the "smudge would come off." To make matters worse, my photo was closely scrutinized, and the counter clerk commented that it didn't look like me. Another cashier added that I looked much younger in the picture. These remarks felt unprofessional and embarrassing, especially being said out loud in front of others. The tone and behavior came across as dismissive and, frankly, humiliating. It's hard not to feel that there may have been an element of bias in how I was treated. No customer should be made to feel embarrassed or judged in that way, especially over something so routine. A situation like that could have been handled with professionalism and respect, but instead it left me feeling unwelcome and deeply uncomfortable. I truly expected better. Sadly, this experience has left a lasting impression, and not a positive one. read more

I got a few things to try at maman. I thought everything was just okay. The matcha was a little flavorless. The custard filled pastry was good.
