We used their mobile ordering which made pick up super easy before the Nats game. The decor was super cute and there was a lot of cute merchandise and loose leaf tea to purchase as gifts. We tried the salted caramel latte, it was good but pretty basic. Definitely loves the vibes and will be back!
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!
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.
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.
Okay, I get the hype! This place is good. It's tucked into a nice corner of Navy Yard. Parking can be a little tricky but not impossible. It has ample indoor and outdoor seating. I got the Katie Chicken Sandwich and a seasonal matcha. Both were yummy. I love the roasted red peppers and cherry tomatoes. The server checking me out was friendly and offered great suggestions!
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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

Ambiance is really nice and it's a great place to work. I got the breakfast bowl, which was plenty filling. It's a simple bowl with egg, bacon, potatoes and arugula. Could probably hope for a little more seasoning but it was a hearty meal. 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. The big windows at this location provide for a lot of natural light which is helpful for working remotely or meeting with a friend. Great place to meet a friend for lunch and/or work remotely. 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

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

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

I was resisting myself From giving maman another try due to my first experience having their coffee was not the best. (NYC location). While traveling to DC and at Navy yards I decided to go in for brunch with my husband and it did not disappoint. Everything was absolutely delicious fresh and enjoyable. The ambience was perfect for a Sunday brunch. Besides the cashier everyone else was great. I will try maman in NYC again. read more

This is a great idea for those that want to have a full meal or just a cup of coffee . There is semi table service. You have to place your order upfront and take a number to your table. Tap water is located on either side at small stations with one liter bottles to take back to your table. I had the omelette and bacon ... highly recommend getting the bacon! Staff isn't overly friendly, but maybe they are trying to replicate that French atmosphere. read more

Ah, brunch--the sacred ritual of overpriced eggs and overpriced vibes. This cute neighborhood spot delivers both, with a je ne sais quoi that feels like stepping into a Parisian dream... if Paris had wisteria trellises indoors and brunch lines at the counter. You order at the counter for quick service, and the food is brought to your table. Sure, the prices will make you raise an eyebrow higher than your cappuccino foam art, but hey, it's Navy Yard. You're not just paying for food; you're paying for lifestyle. The smoked salmon avocado toast came out looking like it moonlit as a food influencer. It was perfectly perched on grainy bread, topped with a sunny-side egg that was so picturesque I almost didn't want to eat it (almost). Savory? Yes. Fresh? Absolutely. Worth its Navy Yard price tag? Debatable. Then there was the papa bowl. What's in a name? Apparently, avocado, potatoes, a sunny egg, and BACON (the most important food group). Oh, and kale--a sprinkle of kale, probably for tax purposes. The spicy aioli tried to mediate the potato dominance, but the spuds clearly had the upper hand. Still, a solid choice if you don't mind a carb overload. As for the cappuccino: the foam art? 10/10. The flavor? French roasted but oddly weak, like it's trying to pass as American coffee. A little disappointing but not enough to ruin the meal. Even the bathrooms got in on the aesthetic game--nicely decorated and clean, because nothing ruins a cute brunch spot faster than a tragic restroom. Final verdict: pricey but charming. You won't regret the quality or the Instagram potential, even if your wallet quietly sheds a tear! read more
Wow! The ambiance tells the whole story! Such great intricate details on decoration. The quality of pastries matches! I had the almond chocolate croissant and it was delicious. The staff was friendly and there plenty of indoor seating. A great place to sit, relax, or work. Highly recommend! read more
I was a bit less enchanted with maman at this visit. I ordered the farmhouse granola parfait and an iced pumpkin spice matcha latte (seasonal offering). After seeing the meager offering of the prepackaged parfait ($10 for about 4oz of yogurt), I ordered a wrap in addition [I also misread 'almond butter granola' as 'almond butter, granola' so was expecting something slightly different]. The wrap was much more substantial but just mediocre in flavor. Each ingredient was segregated in the wrap, which made for a nice presentation, but didn't translate in practicality--each bite was only one ingredient instead of an amalgamation of the ingredients. The pastry offerings looked less plentiful and less fresh than my initial visit. The food is a bit slow to come out, considering the amount of preparation it should take. Similarly, the drinks take a while also as there was only one barista. Still, a nice environment with nice soft tunes--I was able to get some work done (lots of others seemed to be doing the same midmorning on a weekday). read more
first time to mamans after visiting washington dc recently tried their kouign amman which was nothing like san francisco the service could have been better if they took notes instead of trying to remember what you got the ambiance was a nice cafe with sit down area and the pastries were just ok read more

Great spot to take a little break for some coffee. Stopped in for a coffee after a red eye. Enjoyed the ambiance/decor and returned for a 2nd visit. Tried Mama's Signature Pumpkin Pie Latte. Good. Second visit, had a standard hazelnut latte. The pastries are good. Tried the Apple Chai Pecan Roll and Almond Croissant. Definitely will visit again when I'm in the Navy Yard area. read more

Looking for a place to have an Amazing latte with a friend, indulge in a decadent pastry and get some work done all while taking in the cutest aesthetic...go to Maman!!! I went around 9:30 am to the Navy Yard location and wasn't disappointed! Disclaimer: parking in this area can be real sketchy and if you park in the lot and decide to make it a work day, be prepared to pay $35 in parking! Otherwise, my latte was great, my croissant was perfect and it was a pleasant experience working from the cafe as well. They offer free wifi and corner spaces that's perfect for WFH jobs! The noise level picked up at certain parts of the day but it wasn't a huge distraction. Everyone was really nice and ordering was super easy. I would like to visit the Bethesda location to do a comparison but I'd absolutely make it a habit to work in a space like that often. Lastly, who can resist an aesthetically pleasing cafe?!? read more
Maman is so beautiful. The space is delicate, classy and filled with goodies. I usually just grab an iced latte and from time to time a baked good. But upon my last visit, I discovered a seasonal iced latte that I'm now obsessed with: caramel-banana iced latte. I ordered it off intrigue alone as well as my self awareness that I'm banana positive. My fear of it being too sweet, or too artificial tasting was soothed upon my first sip - it was smooth,l and delicious with just the softest notes of banana and caramel. (I asked for no whip cream but it typically comes with that as well.) I will be grabbing this on repeat until it is so longer on the menu. This drink alone I'll go out of the way for. But overall, this Maman location is solid. It's clean, beautiful and always with great service! read more
