Aesthetic delightful cafe in the middle of Penn Quarter. They have cute rustic tables and decor in the middle of flowering trees. It feels like a little getaway from the city. Treat yourself before your walk to the art museums in DC. Everyone says to try their blueberry feta scone, it is so good and quite large. I also had their quiche, soy latte and tiramisu brownie (a bit too sweet and dry for my liking). They also have hot sauce on the side if you want to jazz up your savory pastries. The latte is good and comes in an antique provincial cup. Their small size latte is also a big portion. The service is quick, you order at the front and grab a number for sit down orders. read more

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'm a new fan of Maman after trying the Union Market location a few times. This Downtown/Gallery Place location gets just as busy and may actually even be a little busier. Despite the line and the fight for a table, the food is just as tasty as the Union Market location. I normally get the Papa's Breakfast Bowl with a fried egg and a seasonal latte or iced coffee. Both my food and drink were goood! They have hot sauce at the stands around the restaurant and the bowl is filling likely because of all the potatoes. I also normally get one of Oprah's favorite cookies, I think they're walnut and chocolate chip but whatever they are, they don't last long once you heat it up a little and have it with a glass of milk! read more

Stopped here on a Saturday afternoon and it was very busy! They were quick to take orders and very kind but it was a little difficult to find a spot to sit, so be warned. They had plenty of delicious food and drink options but I landed on Elisa's breakfast bowl which was hearty and fresh with an egg for extra protein. I also got the tahini latte which was a seasonal beverage and it was so good! Will definitely stop by again. read more

It was just okay. I got the smoked salmon croissant sandwich and it tasted mostly burnt. The kitchen sink cookie was good.

We came here for brunch on Saturday around 12:30pm. It was very busy, the line was almost out the door. However it goes by quick, we waited in line about 10 minutes before getting to order. We came in a group so part of our group held a table, I definitely recommend coming with enough people to do that. There is plenty of seating though inside, you will always find a table. The food came out about 10 minutes after we ordered. It was delicious! Everything was very hot and fresh, made to order. We got the egg ratatouille, the breakfast bowl, and a quiche. It was all very delicious, I loved it!! read more

I have been going to Maman coffee shops in Georgetown and Bethesda for quite sometime and I absolutely love their coffee, food, and environment. I decided to give this place a try today. What an absolutely horrible experience. The manager of this place is a terrible human being. He is rude, abrasive, and lacks empathy. I am voting with my money and will not go to this business again. read more

There has been pretty consistent quality across all the mamans I've been to thus far. Really great and pretty pastries and a standard selection of beverages. This location is also great in terms of Metro access and seating capacity. It's a little loud for quiet working but what can you do? read more

Pretty good lunch. I had yhr Martha Stewart club sandwich. It was very good. Fresh sliced chicken, candied bacon,cheese, avocado, lettuce and tomato on toasted bread with French mustard. I would definitely get this in the regular yhe price was OK. No sides though. The sandwich was very filling. But I did order cake also. The salads that were around me looked great. That is my next venture. The ambience was was loud but fun. The decor and ambiance was inviting. I liked it. read more

We went there Friday at 5:30 PM, expecting to order dinner since they close at 7 PM. However, we were told the kitchen was already closed. Because of that, we just ordered hot and cold coffee, which were surprisingly served in paper cups. To make things worse, they started blasting "Closing Time". Honestly, this was one of the rudest and most disappointing restaurant experiences we've had. Very poor customer service. read more

Food - had the breakfast maman and the Salmon lox croissant. Both were good. I likes the brioche bun on the bfast maman. Also had the original chocolate chip cookie and that was good too. Service - order and get a number and find a seat. Buspeeps clean up fine. Ambiance - a simple clean looking ambiance with notes of Le France. Verdict - good and can recommend you try at least once. read more

My co-workers love this place. We've been coming since they first opened. I'm an occasional visitor and more just for coffee. I recently came in for lunch. It was jam packed. We were barely able to snag a seat in the back area. Service is good. This place is very pricey! I ordered the "Katie Chicken Sandwich." It comes with chicken, basil aioli, roasted red peppers, arugula & roasted tomato on ciabatta. It was a good sandwich but at $17, I probably don't see myself coming here for lunch anytime soon! read more

In my travels, I've discovered all mamans do not have the same quality control. My first maman was an unforgettable experience. I was on the lower east side of manhattan and this beautiful French woman gives me a freshly made croissant and coffee. Ooh la la! The second visit at a different maman, I was served a stale croissant. What gives ma man? Walking into this bakery, it's a large beautiful space. After looking over all the delicious baked goods, I order a latte and a pistachio filled croissant. There's plenty of available seating, I chose a small table by the window. First bite, nice flaky outer crust but cold pistachio cream? Beautiful location in a nice DC neighborhood. Hopefully you'll receive a freshly made croissant. read more

Loved the decor and vibes of this place!! Very Instagramable spot with gorgeous drinks and cute dish ware. Plus everything was delicious! Service was quick and friendly.

Maman was a delicacy on a cold rainy Washington DC morning I had the papas breakfast bowl + an iced latte. What a great pairing. The food is fresh and you can taste the difference. As for prices, it will range from 10-30$ for a meal. Yes you can split it with someone but you'll want to get your own coffee. Now for the final part: the service! Great atmosphere and people who are passionate about what they do. That brings together this place read more

Popped by for a little bite to eat before visiting cherry blossoms. Love love the decor inside. We got the steak flank sandwich (delicious! wish there was more sauce), pistachio croissant (loved the pistachio cream), orange blossom cappuccino (lovely mild hint of orange), and cherry blossom matcha (a little disappointing, too much rose syrup that drowned out the matcha. Would definitely come back! read more

I recently went to maman to pick up lunch and a couple of pastries for me and my wife. I've heard great things about this spot so I had high expectations. I ended up with the club sandwich and my wife got the Katie's chicken sandwich. The Katie's chicken sandwich was amazing. I also got the Nutella beignet, kouign maman, and the classic chip cookie. All the pastries were good. I feel like if they were heated the taste would have been better. I was not a fan of the staff, I got a latte for my wife and while I was waiting for the rest of my large order a worker as me if that was my latte (I was 6in from my drink). Bad interaction. I would definitely go back but also order ahead. It was packed when I went on a Sunday morning. read more

This is one place I would go to everyday! We tried the different pastries and they were all good. I specifically favored the Nutella beignet and the pistachio chocolate croissant. They have seasonal drinks like orange blossom caramel cappuccino and much more. The have plates , cups and saucer in a blue motif. Good food and cozy place. I also heard you can order their cups and saucers online which i will have to check out. You have to come and try this place when in DC. read more

Had just landed from a long 6 hour red eye and brunch was what I needed. My bestie brought me here saw that it had good reviews so we decided to try it out. The place is cute and small very narrow. We went on a Saturday morning so it was crowded. We waited about 20 min not bad. We sat down in the back patio which we loved. Unfortunately our waitress/ food runners we're extremely RUDE. I understand it's busy but when you are in an big city where people come and go you expect to be greeted and treated decently. One of the female waitresses was so rude when we asked for water she rolled her eyes. Which made us wrap it up and leave. The food was great. Ordered the waffles and the potato bowl. Would I come back maybe to go but definitely not to stay and eat. The negative vibe from the employees is not welcoming. Customer service is everything and they did not provide that. Food wise delicious. read more

when i go to a cafe, i always order a black coffee. this is the quintessential item of any cafe in my opinion, if you claim to sling coffee, the coffee should taste good, no? that said, i had two cups and they were both great! the quality maman puts into their coffee doesn't come at the expense of the fancy shmancy lattes and matchas, so fear not cafe drink connoisseurs! also tried their vegan carrot & orange blossom loaf cake and it was dense and delicious! wish there were more vegan pastry and main dish options. i came on 10am on a Holiday Monday and the place was bumping! luckily i found a small table for my friend and myself. just be weary that this is a popular local chain and is usually pretty busy. be sure not to miss the extra seating in the back like i did! had a good selection of plant based milk btw, coconut, oat, almond and pistachio (i think!). read more

This might just be a top 5 cafe spot in my book. My girlfriend found this and took me here. First off, I love the ambiance here. They have a lot of floral going on, the windows let in a good amount of natural light, and their chinaware is just that of good taste. I didn't get to try their pastries this time around, but I plan on doing so in the future. They all looked good. I felt like if I did order some, I would've walked out with an entire bag lol. The service was pretty good. We go our food within 10 minutes of ordering it. I recommend you come early because lines can form here pretty easily. My girl ordered the crogel (smoked salmon sandwich over an everything bagel), and I ordered the thérèse sandwich (marinated flank steak, crème fraîche & grainy mustard, roasted tomatoes, herbs & arugula on a baguette). I substituted the grainy mustard for red pepper aoili, and it SLAPPPPPED. Both sandwiches and coffee's were amazing. I was raving about this place the entire day lol. The only thing I didn't like was the cost. Two sandwiches and 2 coffee with a side of avocado came out to about $53-55. It's pricey, but the quality is there, so I guess you get what you pay for. read more

Maman is a great place for a girls brunch. There are several locations in DC. The decor is very pretty and insta worthy! We came here during Saturday brunch rush and not surprisingly, there was a very long line waiting to order so I'd recommend ordering ahead for pick up I tried the quiche ($10) and the seasonal iced cherry blossom latte ($8). The portions were not huge so it's on the pricier side. Food and drink were delicious and I like that they have seasonal menus! read more

4.5 stars! 1. No need for reservation. first come first served 2. Food: delicious but on the expensive side avocado toast was good, but a bit stingy on the avocado application. 3. Drinks: lots of good looking, innovative drinks. Seasonal drinks are good too 4. Interior is comfortable, quite loud due to packed and table and chair is solid wooden with no cushion. 5. Service: genuinely nice and knowledgeable I would recommend this place. But be mentally prepared that it'll cost you $50 for 2 drinks and 1 toast. read more

I love this shop. Honestly, you're here for the ambiance. I feel so happy when I'm here. Drip coffee here is also fantastic. I thought the pastries here were good, but they're overpriced (like everywhere else in DC). $5-7 for each. Branding and decoration and overall vibe is wonderful. Love this place. read more

Vibe was great! Pastries were not fresh (could tell they pulled them out of the fridge). Food was good, no not anywhere near worth the price ($$$). Ordered a drip coffee and they wouldn't give me a to-go cup to leave with. Overhyped. Not worth the price. This is a bummer 1 and done. read more

Tea water was scalding hot and the pastry was very cold. Hoping for more from this well appointed cafe. Staff was courteous and quickly warmed the pastry but the flavor still wasn't all that great. read more

I don't normally take the time to write reviews. With that being said, I was in DC for 5 days. I ate there 3 times and regret not stopping one more time as they closed earlier than I expected. The pastries are divine. The banana pudding latte is the best iced latte I've ever had. I'll be dreaming about this place all the way back home to California. read more

Great food, fun vibe, and a to-die-for latte! Service is terrific, moves quickly despite crowds. I will definitely be back! read more

Happy to see Maman popping up around DC - such a NY staple! You can't go wrong coming here to grab breakfast/lunch, coffee or simply get some work done. You order at the cash register and wait for your order to come. My go-to is the Maman breakfast sandwich but everything here is really good so you can't go wrong with your choice! There's also a lot of seating here so you shouldn't have an issue finding somewhere to sit whether you're solo or with a large group. read more

Other than the super long lines, this was a great breakfast choice! There's a conference in town (full disclosure - that I'm at!) that overwhelms all the restaurants nearby, so not fair to judge. When I finally got to the front of the line, I ordered a pastry basket for the table (almond, chocolate almond, and pistachio croissants), a breakfast sandwich, and an oat milk latte. I got the croissants immediately, so my friend and I were able to snack on them while waiting for our food and coffee. The space is beautiful - bright, clean, and spacious. It was a lovely place to grab food. And the food was excellent! My breakfast sandwich was delicious, with avocado, roasted tomatoes, a ton of bacon, and an egg on an amazing brioche roll. So good! My latte was great too. But the super duper winner was the almond croissant! Really great! It makes me want to go back and try all the other croissants! read more

We came from out of town and had a great experience at Maman! Sofi was especially welcoming and helpful and took her time to explain the many food options in detail.

Was in the area due to staying at a hotel nearby while visiting my daughter at college for Parents and Family weekend and happened here for brunch. It is a very nice location giving full Parisan cafe vibe. The price point certainly reflects the ambience, so expect to pay more than your daily coffee shop visit. This latte was exquisite in flavor, cannot recall the name but it included lavender. The service was good and will say the young lady at the register went above as my daughter ordered a matcha latte that she did not like and she easily exchanged it for her. I would certainly visit again and recommend. I was not aware that it was a chain but will try out in other locales to see how they may compare. read more

maman - Honey lavender latte.. yummy - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I was excited to try out maman at their new location after passing by the Bethesda location many times! The interior is super cute - I love how bright and open it is, and it would definitely be a great space to work! For food, I tried the crogel and the croque maman, which were both a bit expensive but decent quality. The crogel was a perfect balance between a bagel and croissant - not too bready or too flaky, making it perfect for a sandwich. I liked the use of pickled onions and the dill and parsley elevated the freshness. The croque maman also exceeded my expectations as I thought it would be plain, but it was actually the perfect texture, super soft and cheesy. I also got a honey lavender latte which was pretty good as well! I also tried a few of the pastries to go - I liked the kouign maman as it had that nice sugary, caramelized crust, although it was a bit doughy and tasted better when warmed up. The turkey cheddar and dijon roll was nice and flaky but it was a little lacking in flavor, with only the tiniest little strip of turkey and cheddar and barely any taste of dijon. The Paris to New York Croissant, on the other hand, was almost too sweet - definitely for people looking for something really decadent and rich. I also tried their famous nutty chocolate chip cookie but was pretty disappointed after all the hype. It didn't have a lot of nuts or chocolate chips and I felt like it was somewhere in between a soft and doughy cookie and a crisp and chewy cookie and not in a good way. read more

So I love the vibes but as for the food & drink I think what we got was ok. I got a matcha latte with pistachio milk & lavender honey syrup. The syrup kind of overwhelmed the matcha so I couldn't really taste but that was on me for the flavor combo. As for the pastry, it was on the drier side & there was barely any filling. However I like the cafe itself. There's lot of light & everyone was either studying or just enjoying their time. I might try something else on the menu but I at least would come here again just for the vibes. read more
