Stopped by maman for lunch and it was pretty good. It's a local chain that is a step above Cava and the like. They serve accesible French food and their pastries were the real standout. Nicely decorated, prompt service and pretty fair prices. The breakfast bowl we ordered was basic but delicious. We'd try more locations in the future. read more

Cute place, vibes were immaculate. Tried their, salmon everything croissant sandwich, Elisa's breakfast bowl,and some pastries. The food was definitely better then the pastries, but pastries were still good. Salmon croissant sandwich- similar to lox bagel but with a croissant. Tasted great, a little less filling then a normal bagel lox just due to size, but well balanced and not too little or too much cream cheese. Elisa's breakfast bowl- similar to a Greek salad. Favorite thing to try, it was light, filling, big portion. Breakfast bowl- this dish was very filling. With potatoes, bacon, and avocado. The least favorite dish that we tried. Portion was big, but it was just a lot of potatoes and a lot of aioli on top. So very heavy and there wasn't anything to really break up the flavors. read more

Food is ok. I wanted a warm up on my coffee. Was told that I had to purchase a new cup which was ok. But was also told I had to wait again in the huge line to get a new cup of coffee. This is a ridiculous policy. Won't be returning. read more

Great spot, great vibes, good coffee, good food, highly recommended in this neighborhood

Came here twice for breakfast while visiting DC. Ambiance was great (very pretty inside) and service was pretty quick. Lattes/coffee were excellent however the quiche I ordered was over cooked and almost burnt in places. I ordered the quiche twice in case it was a fluke that it was over cooked but it was worse the 2nd time around. read more

Lots of variety on the menu. Fresh food made of quality products. Prices typical for DC area. Service was fairly quick at lunchtime.

Great atmosphere, awesome drinks, the pastries were nice size and fresh. Tahiti honeycomb latte highly recommend! The peach Danish and pistachio croissant to die for! read more

The decor and ambiance is beautiful and the pastries are delicious. It was a little bit more expensive than I thought, the pastries were about 5-6 dollars each but we ended up paying 8 and 10 dollars for our drinks. The Mango Passionfruit Beachball was my favorite. read more

Some friends and I stopped by after our first option for breakfast was no longer an option on a bustling Saturday morning. I will say that I've frequented their sister location near Union market (which is clearly superior) many times before so I was shocked by the service and the quality of food at this location. Clearly, when you first arrive you can tell that the location is busy, however after waiting for 5 minutes at the door we later could see that they were understaffed and clearly in the weeds. After searching for an empty table and finding none in this smaller location we realized that the only option was to slowly encroach on a table which we thought would be leaving soon. To our delight we only had to wait 10 minutes for this to happen. However, after sitting we noticed that no one was cleaning the dirty tables let alone sanitizing them. After waiting minutes for this to happen I took it upon myself to ask one of the wait staff to buss the table (to which he looked very confused) and later had to ask him to actually sanitize the table because apparently this isn't an expectation. After looking at the menu we settle for the Katie's chicken sandwich and Rose steak sandwich and a few pastries. When my friends food arrived their items looked appealing, however when my food arrived I was disappointed that my Roses sandwich looked like it had the remaining thin trimmings (no more than 3oz and I'm being generous saying that) for the flank steak instead of the actual flank steak. It being luke warm and in dire need of more of the tahini sauce also didn't help. I was also disappointed that their mixed green salad had clearly seen better days that was tossed in some balsamic dressing. The pastries although visually appealing could either used some warmth or they clearly weren't made the same day as I had a difficult time enjoying the seemingly stale kouign amann. read more

I recently visited this cute French coffee shop during my visit to DC. I came across on Instagram and was not disappointed. As soon as I walked in it was very busy and crowded inside. Almost every table was taken. There was a line to order but only about 2-3 people ahead of me. I loved the decor and aesthetic of the inside, it gives very French vibes. The cashiers were not too friendly but the bussers were quick cleaning tables and the expos were also friendly when taking your food and beverage to the table. Overall I had a great experience and would definitely be back when visiting DC. read more

Just had a delicious brunch at maman. The restaurant decor is super cute and the food was scrumptious! We had the Papa's Breakfast Bowl, the Belgian waffles and the Overnight Oats and all were really good. The star of the show was definitely the breakfast bowl though. The potatoes were well seasoned and everything in the bowl tasted really good together. read more

Matcha is to die for. Food is yummy. Line is usually long but It is worth the wait. Such a cute restaurant with adorable decor.

I had a great lavender honey iced latte at maman. The decor is so cute and inviting here. I love how everything is so aesthetically pleasing. All of the pastries looked very delicious but I refrained this time. I will be back again to try some pastries. read more

This Maman is a great location in Penn Quarter on the busy corner of H and 9th NW. The ambiance is French cozy and with pretty dishware and solid rustic furniture. The food is more American-ish sandwiches and bowls, with fun pastries and egg dishes, although most of the kids I have brought here for lunch didn't like it as much as the adults. Warning - finding a table here most of the time can be like trying to find overhead space in a sold out airplane - really stressful and bringing out the worst aggressive behavior in people. Maybe Maman needs to add a reservation system for limited tables. Best to stop in here when it is more empty. read more

This is a very good restaurant. The menu is definitely worth looking at before going because it's very eclectic, but enjoyed it.

Pretty good food and a nice atmosphere to catch up with friends. A little expensive for what it is but everything is made with quality and care. read more

The chicken in my salad was inedible, but could've been a bad chicken day. Ambience was good, probably a nice place to work. Unfortunate chicken experience which lives rent free in my head read more

I really liked the atmosphere in this place. The music was very quaint and relaxing which is the way it should be in the AM. The decor was a bright garden-like setting and the pastry display made it all the more inviting. I enjoyed eating here. read more

Coming into Maman, feels like a beautiful step back in time, into a British cafe, or even a scene from Bridgerton. With delightful tea, coffee, baked goods, & matcha! So many options! I came twice on my trip and appreciated the ambiance, delicate touches like serving items on beautiful blue and white china plates and cups, and the attentiveness of the staff. read more

Quiet, relaxing spot for a quick bite or longer sojourn. The club sandwich was phenomenal. Also got their signature cookie, nut and chocolate chip, which impressed as well. Service was quick. Yes, the prices are above average, but fair considering the quality. read more

Maman is not somewhere I'd recommend. It feels like a bakery that has expanded the menu to include lunch fare. The coffee and pastries are good. The lunch fare not so much. I chose the minestrone soup. The flavor was reasonable but the soup was thin and desperately needed more beans to feel satisfying. I also chose the avocado tartine. Not something I would suggest. The guacamole was completely without personality, almost completely tasteless. I ordered and enjoyed a blueberry scone with goat cheese. It is most and flavorful with both sweet and savory in one. The chai tea was very good according to my wife. My cappuccino was fair, the coffee isn't really good. The vibe here is upbeat and friendly. There are lots of people on their computers doing work. There's nice music playing and it's bright and airy. So if you're here for the coffee and pastries and need a place to plant yourself, it's reasonable. But don't come for the food. read more

Love the vegan pastry options here! They have vegan croissants, chocolate chip cookies, lemon and blueberry cakes, and a lot of their savory items can also be made vegan by removing cheese. read more

It's a cute and cozy cafe, they were pretty fast at serving the food.. the only thing that bothered me was the prices, they need to either lower their price or make the portion sizes bigger, you pay a lot for a small size coffee read more

Beautiful decorations, and a lively ambience, where the backdrop for my nice plated (or should I say boarded!) avocado toast! The drinks and pastries too, were nothing short of lovely! read more

The inside is so adorable and the food is yummy. Their coffee wasn't my favorite but it is still good!

So happy we happened upon this spot during our quick visit to DC! I have always loved Sloane Tea and it is difficult to find in the US, so I was very excited to have a big cup of the jasmine mist green tea as an afternoon pick me up alongside a dessert that was absurdly delightful. We had the orange chocolate cheesecake croissant cube - cannot recommend highly enough. The space is really beautiful, lots of beautiful plant decor and an overall style that is very charming and relaxing. It was also very easy to find a place to sit during the afternoon. read more

Couldn't make an iced London fog which is literally a hot drink that you put in ice. Was told refills for iced tea were free but then was told they weren't. Small things matter. Forgot cocktail I made, was waiting 25 min and had to go up to ask about it. They had no clue about it. Disappointed because I read the reviews and thought it would be better than this. read more

Yummy food and great service! Love their seasonal pastries! Love that they have few locations so I can always pop in when in need of delish pastries and coffee:). read more

This is developing to be a new mini-chain, and seems to be an emerging competitor to Tatte: Also pushing a French ambiance, bright and airy vibe, delectible pastries, but with even nicer china for coffee and other beverages. The clientele is a mix of folks working on their laptops (including student types) and those there to socialise. The English biscuit was certainly ok--passing grade, but not moist and buttery as it should be, and the quantity of butter was rather puny (especially given that one pays an extra dollar for it. Frankly, they should have the option of clotted cream rather than (only) butter...perhaps it shows that I just returned from 1.5 months in London :-) The cappucino was alright, but not particularly foamy. But as I said, nice China :) Staff were friendly and professional. read more

This place is BEAUTIFUL. and so is its food. Oh and it's delicious?! I ordered Papa's Breakfast bowl and LOVED it. We also got the assorted pastries and I found the almond croissant to be my favorite. My friend found the crogel to be a bit overrated, and I wouldn't recommend the chai latte. But, my god, it's such a gorgeous cafe. Very busy, but cleared up substantially by 2pm. Use the app to order and get a discount! read more

I went here with a friend and the food and coffee was amazing. The restaurant was also beautifully decorated and the service was great.

Randomly picked this cafe since it was closer to museums and was SO HAPPY I DID! The pastries are gorgeous, super fresh (I had the strawberry rhubarb croissant bar, literally 10/10 no exaggeration). Cortado was excellent, super smooth and beautiful art! Also got the build your own omelette and it came so well seasoned, the greens were dressed very nicely. As a career barista I really really appreciate what they're doing here. All the workers are so nice and helpful! Currently drinking an iced matcha with the strawberry rhubarb syrup, love. Highly recommend, will be back the next time I'm in DC read more

Everyone's favorite brunch cafe that you can't help but photograph to upload on your Instagram with their wooden tables, blue floral dishes, and faux wisteria decor. This branch is located near the Gallery pl. and Chinatown metro station. Maman has a great selection of breakfast and brunch items in addition to their cakes and pastries. Food can get quite pricey at $17 for the salad and $5+ for the specialty coffees, but the portion sizes are large and the food yummy that your stomach will be satisfied and you'll still have plenty leftover to take home. Worth the hype and worth the visit. read more
