    Iced Coffee
    Rachel C.

    I love this Maman location potentially more than I should. Leila and the crew always treat everyone with such kindness, even during a rush. And the coffee is amazing--I love all of their seasonal offerings. The interior is petite, but in the summer there's ample outdoor seating. A Dupont gem.

    Pastries looks SO good but we're honestly kind of disappointing. I tried the thyme, blueberry and cheese scone - as well as the banana walnut chocolate bread and wasn't a fan of either. The bread was oddly dry and thick - and the scone was salty. I tried a seasonal drink (honey butter corn latte, half sweet) and it was decent. I thought it didn't taste very much like corn but I really liked the beans they use. Workers were friendly and welcoming without being pushy.

    hazelnut praline latte
    Faith-Carmen L.

    ordered this seasonal drink -- hazelnut praline latte -- i got it less sweet and thought it was really yummy! service was quick too. it wasn't too sweet and had an authentic, homemade hazelnut flavor, not like the torani coffee syrup most cafes sell. i always think the prices here are a bit steep but they're consistent and i like that their flavors are made in house

    It's a very small interior, just a few tables and very claustrophobic. I placed an order at the counter for a caprese sandwich. It took about 15 minutes for them to make it because there were two orders before mine. There's nowhere to wait for your food order. No matter where you wait, you're in the way. The caprese was warm, cut in two, tasted really fresh and incredible, and felt like a good value despite the $14 price tag. The pastry selection was pretty decent, and everything looked fresh and neatly arranged. The cashier seemed like she hated her job. If you wanna see some happy employees, go to Tatte!

    My order

    Cute little coffee shop and bakery with a variety of yummy treats and beverages options. Arrived and was greeted and helped promptly. I ordered a cappuccino and their famous chocolate cookie. Both were delicious! Perfect place to sit and relax and unwind with yummy treats!

    This is place is breaking the law by false advertising

    I like the food and drinks but the service leaves room for significant improvement. They have a sign up advertising 'happy hour, 10 am to 11 am, buy one cookie get one free'. My daughter was excited so we came the next day at 1030, only to be told the offer expired - yet it's still on the wall with no expiration dates. I advised the manager, (Winfrey?), that they are falsely advertising, which is breaking federal and state laws and that he should honor the advertised deal until the sign is removed. Winfrey said he couldn't do that, that the sign is up as a decoration, and I should voice my concerns to the owner, but he would not give me a contact. No email address listed on the website either. As a Maman regular, I am unimpressed and concerned with the service and integrity of this place.

    Wow what a cute little cafe. The coffee was really good. I got a caramel latte with oat milk. I didn't like that there was an up charge for milk alternative though. The cashier had the typical gen z stare kind of service. There was more personality from the barista. The Nutella beignet was filling and not overly sweet. I definitely will be coming back.

    cinnamon bun kouign maman
    Kikue H.

    Besides the prices (which I'm sure are pretty much standard for DC, I'm just unused to the exorbitant prices here as a tourist) I have zero complaints. I got the everything croissant sandwich and it was divine. You can definitely taste the quality in each ingredient, especially the salmon, and the flavors mesh together beautifully. It's also clearly freshly made which just makes it a practically perfect croissant sammie. Also grabbed the cinnamon bun kouign maman as an impulse purchase and did not regret it at all. I went late in the day so I didn't expect it to be very fresh, but it was still soft and flaky which was a sweet surprise. You can taste the buttery richness but you can't feel it -- wildly delicious. The decor is a bit gaudy, but they pull it together nicely and the muted colors make it much less offensive to the eye and probably a very chill environment to do some work in. But the dishes are the star of the show anyway so I would suggest sitting down and eating there just to get a look at some of their gorgeous plates!

    The Katie and hot chocolate

    The Katie and hot chocolate were delicious and the costumer service was great! The workers were very helpful and quick to serve us our food.

    Wow wowee wow wow wow. Just 2 reviews but this place deserves the 5 star rating! We came here yesterday morning for pastries and they did not disappoint. We got an apple jam cupcake with chai frosting, ham and cheese croissant, like this croissant cylinder with vanilla cream on top, as well as a small coffee. Everything was wonderful and tasty. We returned again today after trying out un je ne sais quois and being thoroughly disappointed by their stale selection. This time we got 2 pistachio croissants to go (a popular item they said), a square croissant, and a cream filled croissant, and a honeycomb croissant. Can't wait to try them out!!!! Also, apparently saints get their pastries here? Tmi but I asked a customer that was leaving the shop if they had a pad and they didn't but lived nearby and ran back across the street to give me some. I guess you are what you eat cuz she is so good. Shout out to the kind young lady with the curly hair who helped out a woman in need!

    didn't know it was petite when i walked in... but got the overnight oats & honeycomb latte! sad it was premade & the seeds in the latte were kinda weird. but it was a fine experience, would love to give it another try.

The coffee was for sure a stand out. We each got the espresso with whipped cream. Heads up, for a coffee focused place the cream was definitely out of a can. But the coffee itself was amazing. For food we got a pistachio beignet, and a chocolate and pistachio croissant. The beignet is definitely not a beignet- it was a bit more bread like, though it still tasted good. And the pistachio cream, though delicious, was so runny. The croissant was good but also had the same pistachio cream issue. It dripped out. For food I had the bacon flaming tart, which tasted amazing! One thing to note- the menu says capers, but it's scallions. That was a welcomed error, since I love scallions! We also got drinks, and I enjoyed my pistachio beverage. Overall, I'd say out of the options nearest the zoo, this is one of the best.

It was Friday early afternoon. She immediately greeted me as soon as I walked in and then went over all their options with me. They do open face sandwiches but she said any can be made into a regular sandwich. She gave me recommendations as well. I decided to go with the chicken open face sandwich but as a regular sandwich and the sea salt caramel latte to go. The latte was really good and was not weak. I ate the sandwich when I got home and it was also very good. The chicken and sumac onions were delicious! The place has plenty seating if you want to just work and drink coffee or order full meals with friends. There is also a good size patio in the front. It's definitely a nice addition to the area.

The restaurant is super cute, with a fun cafe vibe, and it's an easy walk from the waterfront. We ordered the Colada Trio, which came with empanadas, cauliflower sliders, and yuca fries. Everything was delicious, and it came with three different sauces that were honestly all so good. I could've eaten those sauces with everything. We also ordered the Platanachos (plantain nachos), which were flavorful and such a fun twist on traditional nachos. They accidentally forgot the cauliflower and mushroom topping, but as soon as I mentioned it, they brought it out right away along with extra sauce. Mistakes happen, but what matters is how a place handles them, and they were incredibly accommodating, which I really appreciated. It was pretty busy when we visited, and I noticed who I believe was the manager or owner helping clean tables and checking on guests. I always love seeing that kind of hands-on involvement. Great food, friendly service, and an awesome location if you're exploring the Wharf. I'd definitely recommend stopping by!

I don't typically go for counter service or QR code service restaurants, but stopped in for a quick bite before a concert at the Anthem. The Cuban sandwich is legit and very tasty with tender pork, soft fresh bread with a crunchy crust, and great pickles. And the stewed plantains were perfectly tender with a caramel like sweetness. Probably the nicest surprise was their reasonably priced cocktails that have a Cuban flair. The happy hour options are very tasty.

As someone who works in the industry and is very familiar with coffee and coffee shops, I was genuinely shocked by how rude and unprofessional the staff was. I ordered a house latte with an extra double shot, which made it a quad shot, and I also paid for extra ice and requested that it be served in a large cup. It wasn't a complicated order. When I saw a drink come up, I politely asked, "Is that mine by any chance?" The barista immediately told me to "hush" and said, "I'm not talking to you." I found that incredibly disrespectful and completely unacceptable. When my drink was finally handed to me, I simply asked if the quad shot had been added since I had paid extra for it. Instead of answering my question, the barista ignored me entirely, and another employee had to respond. The employee, Taleisha Young, who was wearing glasses, was especially rude throughout the interaction. No customer should be spoken to that way, especially when they're simply asking about an order they paid extra to customize. Customer service and professionalism should be a priority, and this experience fell far below that standard. Unfortunately, I will not be returning, and I will be sharing my experience on other review platforms as well. I hope management addresses the behavior of its staff so other customers don't have a similar experience.
