    I have heard good things about this place in NY but never got to go. So i saw this on my walk on a weekend trip to DC, i had to stop in. Got their signature latte with oat milk and it was so delicious.it was creamy and not too sweet. I wanted to try the tahini latte but did not feel adventurous enough. Our barista Sophie was a sweetheart because she also gave us a cookie on the house. The chocolate chip cookie was delicious with the coffee. I can't believe i waited this long to try it. The place is also nice to come and sit and get work done or chat with friends. Plenty of seating but i can tell they get busy.

    macchiato

    Came here for a cookie, croissant, and a macchiato. The macchiato was pulled perfectly and had delicious flavor. The cookie was delicious, not too sweet, and the croissant was better than most other coffee shops. A great competitor to Tatte, I would definitely come back.

    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.

    This is a LOVELY place for coffee, tea, and baked goods that I honestly almost passed up because of the crowd, but I am so happy I didn't. I was able to order quickly at the counter and find a wonderful window seat to enjoy my tea and Signature Martha Stewart cake. It was all divine. I would absolutely recommend stopping in for a treat when in downtown DC.

    This maman location is cute and nice to sit inside to work or chill or socialize. The cookies I got including the oatmeal and the sandwich cookie were so yummy too. Service is good as well.

    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!

    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!

    Sesame Tahini Latte - yum!

    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.

    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.

    andreas everything croissant & salmon sandwich

    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

    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.

    martine's steak sandwich

    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.

    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.

The lamb was super tender and the combination of flavors were amazing. The tots were also seasoned well. It also came with a tasty creamy dipping sauce. I did wished they were cut in layers like a hasselback potato like I saw on the show. I thing texturally it would have been more interesting than the current tots which had chunky pieces of potato in squares. For the drinks my sister got the coconut cardamom and I got the peanut dalgona. The peanut dalgona drink is the drink to get. I loved the flavor profile and the creamy topping. The place was busy.

That said, a couple missteps that should not have occurred took this review into the negative realm. Let's start with the positive. This appears to be a great new addition to the neighborhood, and I hope it is supported. The appetizers were delicious and nicely presented. The pistachio feta with grilled pita was tasty and interesting. The halloumi with orange marmalade was as well. The hostess was engaging and friendly. The atmosphere was calming with a touch of casual refinement. One of the entrees was delicious (the scallops and grits). I'd order all three items mentioned so far, again. The negative. The second entree was the short rib. It was tender and.... Wow, way too salty. A shame because it was otherwise well cooked and nicely plated. But whoa. When the hostess came by, my girlfriend kindly said it was a bit salty. I "refined" her answer and said she was being nice, but it was very salty. The hostess went to note this for the kitchen (a positive for her), and because we are on the first floor outside the kitchen window I heard the conversation. The chef responded that he knew what had happened. Earlier when preparing the short rib someone (in his words) blasted it with salt. What this tells me is that they knew they'd made something close to inedible but served it anyway. At the end of our meal we had leftovers of the two apps and the short rib. We asked for a bit of extra pita to take home and they provided. Then the bill arrived. Not only was there no adjustment for the inedible short rib, but they charged us $2 for the pita. The least they could have done was just given us the pita. Ah well. Those two missteps; 1) serving a known and improperly prepared entree, and 2) not doing something to make good when reported, have led to this sadly negative review for a place that could and should have gotten a positive one. Hopefully someone there will see this, and the experience and review will be a learning opportunity that will help them thrive.

Old Ebbitt is famous for it's crab cakes according to the server so you know what direction I went in. They were more like a Maryland crab cake which has a ton of meat. We were at their lunch dining so salads were also ordered and tasted amazing. Finished the mean off with a Key Lime Pie and coffee. Reservations are highly recommended given its popularity. They also asked that all attendees in your party are present so remember that to be seated. Situated near the White House, and directly across the street from The Department of Treasury, it's an ideal spot for a meal before or after site seeing. What's clear about Old Ebbitt Grill is its longstanding appeal. President McKinley was such a fan he reportedly lived there during his Congressional days. Presidents Grant, Johnson, Cleveland, and Roosevelt all stopped in, basically making it a hot spot in Washington. If it's President approved you should go also!
