Such a cute spot! It's counter service but they'll bring items to your table, so you don't have to stand around while they make items in the back. The cashiers are always friendly! The seasonal maple french toast latte was delicious. The sesame tahini dark chocolate cookie was super good, chocolatey but not too sweet and unique enough to stand out from the standard chocolate chip cookie. I've been here several times and it's always great! Also recommend the chocolate banana bread and the quiche. There are two sections for an outdoor patio, with great seating/chairs. The inside has such a cozy and whimsical ambiance, it feels like a lush tea party! There's lots of seating inside and out, but they are always busy. Sometimes it can take a minute to find a seat, but there's always quick turn-around and tables opening up. read more

A bit overhyped - but still getting 5 stars. This place looked super cute & I added to my places to visit while in DC. Unfortunately, it didn't really meet my expectations. The line was incredibly slow, latte was served hot, & food was mediocre. The interior is stunning, bright, & I felt transported to another country. I appreciated all the cute little trinkets that were for sale near the register. I'd probably give them one more visit in case my first one was an off day. read more

The coffee shop is beautiful, but it is very basic coffee. We were staying at The Thompson, and maman was a very short walk from the hotel. While the shop looks amazing, the coffee was extremely basic. I ordered an iced latte and I could not taste the espresso. The cinnamon Kouign-amann was extremely dry, as was the chocolate chip cookie. When you tried to break the cookie in half it essentially exploded into crumbs. They do have a lot of seating, but there were many single people taking up 4-person tables so it was difficult to find a place for 4 of us to sit. The staff wasn't unpleasant, but they also were not very friendly. They did keep the line moving as fast as they could. Again, the shop is beautiful and bright. The branding on their bags is adorable. Their cutlery is wrapped and there is washi tape with their name on it holding it together. Their drinks and food are served on very nice dishes. I just wish that the coffee and pastries tasted as good as everything looks. read more

Dropped into this location after apartment hunting in the area. I ordered one of their seasonal hot lattes, the Maple French Toast with espresso and oat milk. The cafe was cute and bright and had a beautiful atmosphere for enjoying breakfast or grabbing a coffee. My service experience started off a little rocky, but I appreciate the baristas for their customer service and hospitality with rectifying my issue. I'd absolutely recommend this location if you're in the area. read more

Ehhhh... I went here 3 times over a 2-day period whilst staying at the Thompson. While it is aesthetically appealing, the food fell flat for me each time... very bland. Also, the service is a little questionable as well. The busboy was a bit rude and seemed irritable on two of the three times I went. The lines are extremely long... read more

Fun coffee spot to go to with a French flair. You can't go wrong with the coffee here. The pastries are fancy looking but there's really only one option that will never disappoint, the pistachio croissant, that one is excellent. Also, the omelettes look so good, and guess what they taste good too. Outside of the the pistachio croissant and the omelet, not sure what else you should get, because everything else has been fairly average and look better than they taste. read more

Went to the Navy Yard Maman for the first time on Saturday. Very similar vibe as the other Maman's that I've gone to, though this one seemed less busy than the others - a plus! We placed our orders and found a table right away. I enjoyed one of the World Cup Pastries - Argentina - that had a guava filling. It was really good and creative. The toasted s'mores croissant cube also caught my eye, but will have to try that one another time. We appreciate the gluten free offerings as well! We ordered peach pie matcha and an iced chai latte both with almond milk. When we got the matcha, it definitely was made with dairy milk. They were willing to remake quickly. The chai latte was alright. Felt watered down quite a bit so will likely try something different next time. A nice place to grab a coffee and catch up! The food others were enjoying looked fabulous! read more

One of the more efficient mamans in the DMV area. Menu is like all the other mamans are decent - something for almost everyone. We went twice during our stay nearby - once for an afternoon pick me up and again for breakfast. The date latte was entirely lacking. I've ordered the same drink in NYC and tasted so much better. The next morning, ordered a flag white, which also turned out to be one of the more disappointing flat whites ever. The tables both inside and outside were filthy. Just unfortunate the mamans in this area can't live up to the experiences in NYC. read more

I got the bacon and egg breakfast sandwich and a regular ice coffee. I also got the banana pudding latte. The sanche was pretty basic and I should've probably ordered the other breakfast sandwich that one looked a little bit better I also had the pistachio tea cake and it was just very dry. Coffee was basic and I don't think it was worth the price the latte was about ten dollars. I just thought the food quality and coffee would be better for the prices they were charging probably just the area but I would see what else is available. read more

maman - pain au chocolat - Bakeries Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This location of the NY-based cafe is a large one that is near, but not on, the waterfront. There is plenty of opportunity to eat in, but I ordered out. I like that they do salads for breakfast and have clear dietary labeling; most French-ish places don't offer much in the way of vegetarian options. My bowl with quinoa and chickpeas had more sweet potatoes than I expected, but overall an interesting and nutritionally useful mix. Ordering a vegan carrot cake with streusel got me a bit of indulgence, and a hot chocolate with oat milk delivered on flavor but wasn't huge. And in general, you're getting a very New York portion to price ratio. But you can get some good stuff. read more

I returned to Maman for a breakfast date on a gloomy, rainy Sunday. The line wasn't long but there weren't very many tables open, some needed to be cleared off. We ordered the papa's breakfast bowl and Katie's chicken sandwich and two lattes. My latte was lukewarm with too much foam. My bowl was great however I wish I had more arugula. My partner liked the latte and shared that the chicken sandwich was amazing. We ordered two pastries to enjoy at home! read more

Cute ambience. Service was pretty disappointing. Typical cafe where you order your food and they bring it to you. Lacked a lot of things though. Had to go up several times to ask them for utensils, napkins, condiments, and more water. They had water at a station but they keep running out or other customers take it to their table. Food was mediocre at best. The Belgian waffles could have been better if they put the strawberry paste on the side. My daughter described it as toothpaste because of the texture. Very thick, sweet, and minty. The grilled chicken was a few pieces of something rubbery that's overcooked. Extremely dry. Needs a warning for choking hazard. On the other hand, the home fries weren't so bad. Had more moisture than their grilled chicken. For the price you pay, I expected better quality. The best thing we've had from their menu was the cornbread latte and the lavender tea. I wouldn't go back there for food, but their drinks are something I would return for. Haven't had their pastries so the next time I will stop by, might pick up a few. read more

This is an overpriced, underwhelming Au Bon Pain. And it's is not even as good. Partnering with Martha Stewart does not make u legitimate. $16 for some deli ham, stale bread and tasteless cheese should be a crime. Croque of is what it should have been called. I know younger people are into esthetics but this is ridiculous. NEVER AGAIN read more

Maman is absolutely incredible. The breakfast bowl is packed with food and incredibly filling, making it well worth the price. But the real standout is the chocolate pistachio croissant. It is insane and easily one of the best I have ever eaten. The service was solid overall. My only minor complaint is they ran out of clean silverware and had to give me plastic utensils to dine in. It is a small detail, but the food was so awesome that it completely made up for it. read more

WOW, Maman was everything I was hoping for and more! I stopped by one late afternoon and was immediately impressed by the beautiful décor. The inside is stunning, dramatic in the best way with huge flowering tree installations and cozy seating that make it feel both elegant and welcoming. It is not too big or too small, just the right size for a coffee shop that feels lively but still comfortable. Some people were deep in conversation, others were focused on their laptops, and a few were simply sipping coffee and enjoying their downtime. No matter what you are looking to do, this is a great spot to do it. I ordered one of the fall drinks, which was good but a little heavy on the sugar. Next time I will probably go for a classic latte instead of the brown butter pumpkin option. I also tried one of their cookies, which was delicious but incredibly rich. I could only enjoy it in small bites. I think it was the nutty chocolate chip cookie, and while it was flavorful, it definitely leaned on the indulgent side. The staff was kind and welcoming, greeting me with smiles as soon as I walked in. Service was quick, and the energy in the space was friendly without feeling rushed. Parking was surprisingly easy, although that might have been because I came in the middle of the day on a Wednesday. Overall, I loved my experience and can see why Maman has such a strong following. The interior is gorgeous, the pastries are beautiful, and the atmosphere is perfect for catching up with a friend, getting some work done, or simply enjoying a quiet coffee moment. I will definitely be back next time for a latte and maybe to try one of their breakfast bowls or the smoked salmon salad that everyone seems to love. read more

I do like this cafe. The convenience of it is perfect and it's so cute inside for remote workers or just catching up with a friend. I enjoyed the coffee I've had (honey lavender latte and the seasonal banana bread latte) I've also tried a chocolate croissant and their quiche and both were delightful. It can get very busy here and tough to find seating or know where to stand when waiting for your to-go order. I did wait some time for my latte and it ended up being lukewarm but still good taste. I will be back over and over because the food is great and I love the ambiance but I wish the waiting was a bit better. read more

My go to meal at Maman is the Wilde Smoked Salmon Salad w/ avocado on the side. It's the perfect balance of protein, and greens without being too filling for lunch.

Great place to meet a friend for lunch and/or work remotely. read more

This is my second visit to the restaurant. My first experience was with their bakery goods and cookies, which were exceptionally tasty. I returned today specifically for brunch and was pleased to find a generous selection of vegan options. I truly wanted to leave a five-star review, as the quality of the food deserves even higher praise. However, I must deduct a star due to a safety concern. My soup bowl arrived with multiple chips and sharp edges, which made me uneasy about the possibility of encountering glass or other hazards while eating. I politely brought this to the attention of two times and was assured that a replacement would be provided, but unfortunately, it never arrived. After a third request--prompted by discovering a sharp, gritty object in the bowl--I asked to have the order remade to go. Thankfully, the kind staff member (Darwin) honored that request. But the soup came back cold. I ended up taking this home to eat later. While the food itself remains outstanding, attention to these details would elevate the overall experience to match the excellence of the kitchen. read more

Definitely my favorite Maman location yet. Popped in on a Monday to work for a few hours and to grab some lunch. The Navy Yard location is spacious and super cute! I ordered several to-go items (cinnamon bun, s'mores cookie, classic choc. chip cookie, other choc. chip cookie and banana bread) and got the Katie's chicken salad and pineapple croissant cube for dine in. I was kind of surprised that the sandwich was sliced chicken. That's not really chicken salad. The pineapple croissant cube, while very good flavor, also was a little tough on the outside. I hope they keep making these though because wow, the inner cream was delicious! The s'mores cookie was definitely my favorite of the bunch. The banana bread was just ok. Everything else was also quite good. I do love Maman. I hope they expand to Virginia Beach read more

Came here to catch up with my friend over coffee & breakfast sandwiches while working remotely. This location isnt the best to me & I regret recommending it to my friend. We have struggled to connect to the internet since being here despite using the correct credentials. I asked for help & the employees were not helpful at all and seemed a bit nonchalant about it. We both ordered the maman breakfast sandwiches. It was meh to me. Very overpriced for an unfilling & underwhelming sandwich. Probably should've ordered the breakfast bowls. I didn't order any drinks because we were already frustrated at that point. If you want to somewhere to quietly do work & grab a bite, I do NOT recommend this place. read more

Unfortunately, the second and third visits were sub par so have to update this review. Apparently it is impossible to serve a hot espresso drink and a pastry (that literally just needs to be grabbed from the case and put on a plate) within five minutes of one another, guaranteeing your drink goes cold. And apparently it is OK for the server to mix up my order with another table and pass off their single espresso as the double espresso I ordered. Lame, lame, lame. read more

WOW. Maman was everything I was hoping for it to be...and more. First, the inside is super cute, not too big, but not too small. For a coffeeshop, i was expecting it to be cozy and it was...people were deep into conversation, others were focused on their computer, others were lazily sipping coffee and enjoying their off time. No matter what you're looking to do, this is a spot to do it. I enjoyed myself so much that I went 2 days in a row and wasn't disappointed. The Chai Latte is nothing special - very normal - but still good and tasty. For food, I enjoyed the omelet and potatoes, but I wasn't a huge fan of the cheese. Maybe it's an acquired taste, but next time i would substitute the cheese for something different or maybe just less since it was overpowering. read more

This was my first visit. I agree with some of the reviews about service... not bad... but a little snooty... but I'm okay with a little attitude, if that's part of their vibe. What I don't agree with is the bad reviews on their coffee. Mine was fantastic. I got an Iced Breve (latte made with 1/2 and 1/2) and the flavor was one of... if not the best I've had! I had a chocolate "chip" cookie which was very good as well. It wasn't like most of the really soft cookies you get now, but a bit crispy. It broke apart nicely and had a nice flavor. Overall, I highly recommend. read more

MAMAN has become one of my favorite places in the area. The staff is always super friendly. The ambience is nice. And I love their pastries. They cycle them out every so often so it never gets boring. However, they keep a few staples that are really good. Did I mention to the staff? The customer service the is probably one of the best things about this place. They always smile when I come in and are always friendly. Maria (I think) was the first to remember my name and calls be by it when she sees me, and although it's a small thing, I appreciate that. She always make sure that I'm well taken care of and my drink is made properly. TIPS 1) Parking is crazy, but there is a lot close by on non-stadium event days ~$5 per hour (robbery). I usually ride my bike over. 2) They have menu items only available on the weekends; try them 3) they will have at least 1 vegan pastry at any time read more

A few of us were walking around Navy Yard and decided to stop by the maman location for a quick afternoon coffee. This location had a lot of floral decor with its typical white and blue color theme. It was spacious with lots of aesthetic seats and tables. ICED SALTED TAHINI HONEYCOMB LATTE (SMALL) - 6.25 I got this with 2% (I think... either that or whole milk) and it was pleasant and not too sweet. I'm not really sure if the salt was needed here because the tad bit did not enhance the overall drink. I did enjoy the tahini and honey combination, which was nutty with a deep sweetness. The sesame seeds sprinkled on top were a bit odd, but sure why not. maman is aesthetic and reliable, but the drinks and food are pretty expensive for what it is. read more

Good café - all the usual - egg sandwiches, waffles, baked goods. This location is sort of in an area with more limited brunch options so it can get slammed. You can order ahead on the app. Service did take 30 minutes and there was no seating, but that was a timing thing coinciding with events at Nats Park. Average cafe ambiance. I think because it was a busy it was a bit too much. Just pricey (seemed more expensive than Tatte) read more
