5/5 coffee with fun seasonal flavors. Honey lavender was just the perfect amount of not too sweet. Small cafe which was not too busy during the weekday. Indoor lighting. Picturesque cafe with flowers overhead. Will have to go back to try pastries and the light lunch options! read more

4/5 only because the pistachio crossiant was a bit too sweet and a little soggy, which is understandable because of the cream but have had a bit crispier elsewhere. 5/5 for the breakfast sandwich which has this candied bacon that made me nostaglic of Asian jerky. Lavender honey latte was perfect not too sweet, could still taste the coffee. read more

Had to stop by this place due to the reviews I saw. Loved the place! Beautifully decorated, buzzing with life and wow how many options of pastries, food, drinks and some gluten free options for the sweet tooth. I ordered a Honey Lavender Iced Matcha, my husband ordered the Regular Iced Matcha. For food we good a few gluten free goodies like the Vegan Zucchini Bread and Raspberry bar. The gluten free options come from another bakery but they are still super fresh. Their in house pastries looked so delicious and amI bet they were, but being gluten free myself I chose those options. Big place, on a main street so only street parking or coming in walking. Service was excellent and super fast. Definitely a place to come back and try some other goodies! read more

Their aesthetic is adorable! From the coffee cups to the decor, it's all so charming. It felt a bit cramped inside, though, since the tables were pretty close together. I enjoyed the maman breakfast sandwich - the avocado was creamy and the brioche bun was soft, however the candied bacon's sweetness was a tad overpowering (and I have a sweet tooth). The service wasn't the friendliest, especially when I asked a polite question. Still, I would come back to try their yummy looking pastries! read more

I love the variety of options on their menu! I stopped by for a very quick treat. The service was great & I loved the coffee! Can't wait to come back, sit down & give this place another try. I ordered: Sesame Tahini Latte w oatmilk -- 8/10 Vegan Zucchini -- 5/10 not that great, you could definitely make a better version at home. It was also really small & not worth the price. I should have gotten a different vegan treat. read more

I was in DC for the weekend and had heard great things about maman! My boyfriend picked up pastries, so my review is solely based on the taste and presentation. I do think their cafes are cute, though. The pastries were not good. I always thought maman was an upscale pastry experience, but now I see they were parading as that while offering stale, cold, and bland foods. The martha stewart potato tart had a sour herbaceous taste to it. The croissant was stale and didn't have buttery, crisp layers I was expecting. The scone was the best pastry, but still not impressive. I would return for their coffee, but certainly will not order any food again. read more

Went to get coffee in the afternoon around one thirtyish with a friend continues to be super packed and loud, especially on a cherry blossom week with lots of tourists lots of families and lots of office workers packed into the space. The one thing about this location is that the busing service leaves a little bit to be desired. The table chairs are often left with crumbs and are not wiped down thoroughly for the next guest. I understand it gets busy but when I watch, they often quickly just swipe a few things off the table and don't pay much attention to actually making the place clean and neat read more

What a cute place! Maman is charming. It's part upscale Starbucks, part bakery, part Harrod's tea time. It's located across the street from Carnegie Library, The fresh dishes are wonderful. I had the grilled cheese. It is delicious and not oily. My friend had quiche & a salad. You can serve yourself a bottle of water to save trips to the filling station. After you order, an employee brings food to the table. This location gets crowded. Visit early. read more

Went here for brunch after a morning at the Shakespeare Theatre and was not disappointed. Maman's offerings are unfailingly fresh, fragrant, and delicious. Additionally, their coffee is GOOD - strong, not bitter and aromatic. I almost always have Maman's breakfast sandwich because it has everything- egg, bacon, avocado and a lovely soft brioche bun. My son had the steak sandwich which has a very tasty chimmichurri sauce on it and my husband had the ratatouille which he says was good but would be better with some bacon or sausage (disclaimer: he always thinks meatless dishes would be better with meat!) We also had a pear cardamom turnover which was absolutely divine! Sugar encrusted flaky deliciousness! So good I forgot to take a picture of it. The restaurant was extremely packed so we had to hover as another group was getting up to leave - that's my one complaint with Maman- the "will we find a table" stress!! The cashier was pleasant and efficient, as were the busboys in clearing the table after our successful hovering endeavors!! As to be expected, it's noisy when it's full, but the restaurant is full of light and so charmingly decorated that I didn't mind the decibel levels. read more

Mamannn why can't you be in California? We would love such an aesthetic, regal cafe like this!! All of the baked goods are laid out in front of you, looking incredibly appetizing. The interior of the cafe is gorgeous, I could see myself spending from open to close of the cafe immersed in a book. I went to Maman two days in a row over my trip in DC just for their baked goods and the lavender hot chocolate. The hot chocolate is fragrant, with a lavender aftertaste. It's rich and creamy, a perfect sweet treat during the snow season in DC. My boyfriend and I ordered two treats, the cranberry croissant and the chocolate pie. Both absolutely annihilated in our stomachs in couple of minutes. The croissant was buttery and flaky, balanced by the tartness of the cranberry. Despite all the baked goods sitting out, it retained its freshness. The chocolate pie was similar to a whoopie pie, but rather than marshmallow, it's a sweet vanilla bean fluff that is addicting! The exterior was crunchy on the outside and soft the deeper you bite into it. read more

I have always wanted to come here. I came from the Smithsonian and it was raining. I made it ten minutes before close. The staff were so friendly and I had a great experience. I got a fleur de sel latte and a chocolate chip cookie. It was amazing. I bought 4 cookies to take home to California, one for someone special, one for me, and one for each of the kids. They put it in a to go food container for me so that they would be protected in my suitcase. The first person had one last night and is a chocolate chip cookie connoisseur and enjoyed it. I really liked the decor and the atmosphere. I cannot wait to come back and try more. read more

We had a wonderful breakfast here and would absolutely come back. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented--from the perfectly cooked omelet to the delicious breakfast sandwich and expertly crafted coffee. The service was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere was trendy, charming, and thoughtfully designed, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. A perfect combination of great food, excellent service, and a stylish setting. read more

I really like this location of Maman. Really pleasant and nice atmosphere in the back room. I like their festive feeling plates etc. I really enjoyed their vegan sesame- chocolate cookies for a dessert in Gallery Pl-Chinatown area. I also liked their vegan pumpkin spice carrot cake topped with pumpkin seeds for breakfast. It's counter service and the staff members were nice. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite! read more

Loved the decor in this place and how nice the staff was as well. I got the Nutella brownie and chai latte.

Maman has a lot to like, except for the crowds. At 11:30 on Thursday morning, the place was packed. There's a window shelf of pastries and fine desserts, all counter service which I appreciate. I had trouble finding a seat and awkwardly went around looking. Finally one opened which I snagged. The Avocado Tartine is a solid 7/10. It is beautiful to look at but reminds me of an uncle who does too much at a party. Pickled onions, halved tomatoes, sea salt, pepitas, and chili flakes are on the side with colorful radishes on top. Plainly eaten, it tastes boring but with all the fixings it takes on much more flavor. Just takes a while to perfect the ratio! (Also, I am probably biased against thinner toasts. I like a nice generous hunk.) The plain croissant was a solid 10/10. Crisp on the outside, pillowy soft inside. Many top tier croissants often rely on heaps of butter which make them heavy. This was neither greasy nor ovetly buttered, two pluses in my book. Overall recommend for charming ambiance and pastries. read more

Beautiful cafe at the heart of DC. Stopped by after seeing the name pop up on must visit cafe articles. Got a hazelnut latte (seasonal), matcha latte and a hot chocolate. Hot chocolate was truly like a hot chocolate and not watered down swiss miss, thank god. Coffee was decent but nothing mind-blowing. Kitchen sink cookie was amazing! On hindsight I wish I tried their kouign aman, it looked good in the display! The coffee cups and cutlery were beautiful! A pretty cafe to stop by! Nice to walk around the City Center after coffee too. read more

Nice Maman vibes as usual and a decent amount of seating when I came. I tried their matcha chocolate milk from their holiday menu and it was not good... Not a good combo especially with the cacao bits and the matcha flavour. Do not recommend. Their pastries and sandwiches are still solid though. Service is quick and fast, and attentive with cleaning up tables too. read more

Gosh, I wanted to love this place so much. The crowds tell me that many people have better experiences than I had which makes me want to try again, however today was such a disappointment. I came when it seemed like the line had died down just a bit (was no longer around the corner outside), ordered my iced matcha and stood awkwardly waiting for it while dodging every other person waiting, working and scrambling to find a seat. After about 20 minutes of waiting and noticing that others who ordered before me were long gone, I went up and asked about my order to which I was essentially shooed away and told that they were busy and to just wait. After 10 more minutes, I went up again and it was determined that my order had been lost/not made. when I finally got my matcha, it tasted more like milk than any matcha I've ever had and was impossible to suck through the straw due to the chunks in the drink. Food around me looked delicious. read more

This was on my list of places to try during my visit and it lived up to my expectations! Ordering was a swift process and was given a number to take to my table. It was seemingly busy but my food came out relatively quick. The entire cafe is gorgeous and lined with green vines, florals and elegant decorations. The only thing I would do differently is ask for my cookie to be warmed and for no pickled onion in my Caesar wrap, I wasn't made aware of what was inside and the menu didn't specify what it was. I assumed it would be a traditional take on the Caesar salad. Otherwise, so flavorful, fresh and crispy! read more

The decor is what sets this place apart. The eclectic tiling and ambiance of this place makes it a great spot for a coffee date or a coffee catch up place. Plenty of seating for two people. The coffee itself isn't that much different than the surrounding offerings and the service could be a bit more organized, but it's still not a bad place to just sit and chat with a coffee in hand. read more

I love maman. This place has me a chokehold. Same order, different location. Get the papa's bowl and you won't be disappointed. It's very filling, has protein, starch, veggies, and plenty of flavor. I also enjoy their seasonal lattes. You can also order an alcoholic beverage here and they have seasonal cocktails as well if you're in the mood for that. It does get crowded and stays crowded throughout the day. This location only has indoor seating, and is on the smaller side in comparison to their navy yard and Noma location. read more

This place is great for a light meal. It has a fair amount of seating; however, it tends to fill up quickly on the weekends. I'm not a fan of sitting too close to the kitchen since it tends to leave my clothes smelling like the grill. The chocolate almond croissant is my jam. I also like their honey lavender latte. Other favorites include Papa's breakfast bowl, which comes with roasted potatoes, arugula, bacon, caramelized onions, avocado, egg, and chipotle aioli. I normally ask for my eggs scrambled instead of sunny side up and the aioli on the side. I've also had their Belgian waffles, which are served with guava jam, whipped butter, and powdered sugar. The waffles are nothing special! My grab-and-go orders have been accurate; however, they have messed up my Papa's bowl before, giving me the aioli on the food when I asked for it on the side. They graciously made the dish over though. Overall, this spot is a solid choice for a quick and tasty breakfast. Be prepared for potential crowds on weekends and consider sitting away from the kitchen to avoid any unwanted grill smells. read more

It's crowded but the experience is what you make it! The interior has such a lovely vibe, it's so welcoming and clean! I was surprised by the large display of sweet treats! The service was good! Not over bearing and they are patient. I ordered the omelette, and honey butter coffee AND matcha. The omelette was tasty, the star of the show was the honey mustard vinegarette! I am a chump for baked goods. I got the olive oil orange pistachio cake; it was good minus all of the pistachio inside. Very nutty and not a strong taste of orange! A chocolate chip nut cookie; it wasn't sweet but it was baked well. A cinnamon bun; it was crispy and layered with a lovely drizzle (I shared it with just about everyone who said it looked good) . The Coffe was so delicious, it was warm and not too sweet just like the matcha, milky and delicious! Beautiful experience especially with good company. read more

I went for breakfast with friends and got the croque madam, turkey sandwich, and steak sandwich with my group. We also got the hazelnut donut, pistachio croissant, everything bagel croissant, and a mango passionate fruit pastry. The bread quality was amazing for all the sandwiches. The steak and turkey sandwich had very good pesto. The steak sandwich was also drizzled with a herbal butter on top and that was also very nice. My croque madam was very well cooked but the egg was extra. Sadly I did not taste any mustard. The best pastry was the everything bagel croissant. It was flaky and soft. The other pastries were ok. The mango passion fruit pastry was VERY filled and the filling was pretty good and the flavors were very balanced. My fiance got the matcha latte and I got a normal ice latte, it was mostly whatever milk you requested. read more

If you're looking for a posh coffee/pastry shop to send some time in, this is your place. I visited for a morning snack and found a number of great options. The other guests looked like a mixture of locals and some tourists getting their morning fix. Locals is a welcome site since they know what tourist traps to avoid. While I tend towards places that are more cozy than posh, I can definitely get used to their table service. It kinda makes you want to stay and sip, as opposed to getting your fancy coffee to go. read more

I was not expecting much of maman considering it's a chain, but I was honestly really impressed! Pretty busy on a Sunday morning but I was able to snag a table after ordering. My drink came out within a few minutes and my food not long after that. Love that they have water jugs available and not just a random cooler! My hot chocolate was rich and really delicious. I ordered the breakfast bowl which was a little pricy at $16 but the portion is pretty generous and I took half home! The combo of caramelized onions and crispy potatoes and fresh avo was so good. I also love the presentation and the china was beautiful! The pastries were all so tempting so I'll definitely be back for those. read more

What a wonderful gem to find in DC! Friends and I came in for breakfast on a whim, and Maman proved to be the best choice! Though it was crowded when we walked in, we found a seat quickly. I ordered a hot latte and the maman breakfast sandwich. The latte was delicious, and the sandwich DEVINE! It featured caramelized onions, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, and a fried egg. My friend also ordered the Eliza bowl, for those looking for a healthier option. Armando did a great job taking care of us, and even ended our meal with three free cookies (all of which were delicious)! Maman was probably my favorite breakfast spot we visited in the city, and with multiple locations it's a must-try while you're in town! read more

Wow what a cute restaurant! We stumbled upon this cafe after walking around union market and I was surprised! The pastries looked amazing! Although we didn't try any this time, we will be back for those. The drinks were tasty 9/10 for an iced matcha half sweet, and 10/10 for an iced chai ! We did try a few sandwiches and that was a hit or miss. My boyfriend order the Jenn's chicken wrap and that was super tasty. I got the smoked salmon sandwich on the croissant and that was not good at all. The seasoning on the croissant was so salty it was almost inedible. I would like to to return, but I think some adjustments could be made for that sandwich! read more

I came to Maman right after landing in D.C., and it was such a lovely first stop. The café itself is beautiful, with a clean and calming atmosphere, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. I ordered a matcha latte--it was a bit on the milkier side, but still decent. Nothing too strong, but good enough for a casual drink. It's definitely a nice spot to sit, relax, study, or just recharge for a bit. The vibe is quiet and peaceful, and I'd come back for the ambiance and friendly service alone. read more

Great location conveniently located near Metro Center / City Center / Gallery Place. Maman is a spacious cafe with a great selection of tea, coffee, lattes, breakfast and lunch options and sandwiches, soups, and pastries and baked goods. They have a lot of options and something for everyone. Their lattes had creative flavors and were really good. The sandwich seemed a bit overpriced for the size and amount of steak (Martine's Mediterranean Steak). I had beat the rush hour and it was starting to pick up after noon. Service was a bit stressful - servers were rushing through orders and having difficulty hearing, were pushing through and speaking over each other, and there was no good place to really wait for your order - as I was standing in a line forming around people sitting down and staff hurriedly filtering through and clearing dirty dishes. I'd recommend getting the app so you can just lock up your order for takeout or sitting towards the section in the back corner to avoid some of the bustle. read more

If I'm visiting DC, I'm stopping at maman. My obsession actually started with their cookbook (highly recommend) but the overall aesthetic and incredible food is what keeps me coming back. I had the quiche Sophie, which has a perfect egg texture with a flakey crust. I also tried one of the seasonal drinks, the vanilla honey butter latte. The sweet corn foam was my favorite part, but I could have done without the cornbread crumbs because they got soggy. I love that they can make your drink half sweet! We easily found a table to chat at and the staff came by to clear our plates when we were done. In my opinion, the food is really the star of the show, but you can't find a cuter place to stop in! read more
