This place is ridiculously cute. We stopped in to pick up coffee and some pastries and we wished we had grabbed a table to enjoy it there. Highly recommend the PBJ cruffin. My partner said the chocolate and pistachio croissant was great too. Service was great - the staff was very accommodating to milk swaps and questions from us. read more

I was really disappointed with the tuna sandwich that I got. It was extremely dry and it felt more like it was chicken rather than tuna. The bread was also pretty hard and difficult to bite into. The chai latte was not as bad though. However, the staff were friendly and ambiance was very nice. read more

The food is delish, the coffee is strong and the vibe is amazing. What's not to love? Great meeting spot!

Arrived on a Saturday at 5:30pm for their happy hour that's advertised as being 4-6pm. They said they weren't doing happy hour but recommended another restaurant in Georgetown that was. We then walked to that restaurant, and they said they didn't do happy hour at all. read more

Been here twice and loved the crogel so much the first time that I got it again. 5 stars for the first visit but only 3 for the second. I paid $3 extra for avocado and there was the barest whisper of it on my crogel the second time around (less than the flavoring in a la croix). There was also a single layer of smoked salmon the second time around, but a ton of pickled onion. Overall it was still pretty tasty, perfect crogel texture, but disappointed with the inconsistency. The pistachio croissant had a very nice texture but I wasn't a huge fan of how much pistachio filling they put in - it was almost a syrupy consistency and very sweet, with minimal pistachio flavor. Would try a plain croissant next time, or maybe the pain au chocolat. It's quite busy on the weekend - easiest to snag a counter seat with 1-2 people, otherwise expect a wait. There's also a takeout counter if you don't want to dine in. There are a few tables outside, but no table service. read more

Hands down my favorite go-to cafe in DC. I have spent countless mornings and afternoons here since I love the ambiance, the treats, and food. If you love matcha lattes, I recommend trying a matcha latte with their house honey lavender syrup... it's a game changer! The employees are always so nice and helpful. Pro tip: if you're coming in on a weekend make sure you make a reservation because you won't be able to find a table. I recommend coming during a week day since you're able to order whatever at the front, pick a table number and any open seat, and wait for your food to be delivered to your table. Also it's way too overcrowded on the weekends. Definitely check it out!! read more

Maman gives a cute little coffee shop vibe. It was super busy around 12 on Saturday so I ordered to go because there was a wait. I ordered a chocolate almond croissant, a crogel(lox bagel) and an iced maple French toast latte(signature drink). The Crogel was so good the bagel is like a flaky type of bagel so it's soft and crunchy with the cream cheese and pickled onion! Chef kisses! The pastry was moist as well! Also loved the signature drink menu lots of options! Definitely will be back! read more

Beware ! This place will rip you off! I ordered and paid for a Large Martha's red iced tea but only received a Small sized one. I know it was a small because it was the same size cup as the Small honeymoon tahini iced coffee my daughter ordered at the same time. Next time (IF I return) I'll just order and pay for a Small since there's apparently no difference between that and a more expensive Large! Frustrating!!! read more

This spot has very yummy sweet and savory pastries. It can get busy. Go on a weekday after 9 to avoid the wait.

This was my second time visiting them and unfortunately they were just as unimpressive as their Bethesda location, if not more. Between the two visits, I've tried the honey lavender latte, breakfast sandwich and Brenda's Belgian waffles. I'll describe my most recent visit which was on a Sunday morning. They were fairly busy and noone was handling the front. Finally, a hostess showed up quite unhappy with my decision to sit all the way in the back as opposed to the front. I guess she wasn't in the mood to walk? Who knows. Having been completely disappointed by the weak honey lavender latte from my first visit, I decided to just stick to food so I got the Belgian waffles. Those waffles took forever to come out and then all I got were mini waffles - definitely not worth the wait or the cost. The waiter never checked on me, even though he checked in on the group sitting next to me regularly. When it was time to ask for the check, the waiter was nowhere to be seen. I had to flag the hostess when she was sitting someone else so she could get the waiter. I find it interesting that the lowest tip option is 18% when the service is so inattentive. Still not sure about the hype with maman. The decor is beautiful, but after having been to two different locations more than once and leaving unsatisfied, I don't think I'll be going back or trying them elsewhere. read more

It's was decent. The vibe was nice but the food is very mediocre. My friends iced matcha was horrible and wasn't properly made (clumps of matcha throughout the drink). My latte was decent but not worth the price IMO. There are better and cheaper coffee places near by. This is the type of place I recommend for a quick study break but wouldn't recommend planning on sitting down and eating here with how busy it gets. My friends both had sandwiches with their drinks and both seemed to be pretty good. Recommend getting some sort of sandwich and maybe an iced latte or coffee for an enjoyable meal. read more

One my favorite brunches in DC hands down! My partner and I always go to Maman whenever we are in Georgetown as we love to try their seasonal pastries, brunch items, and coffee. I would say their service has gotten better over the months, especially since they started host seating instead of first-come, first serve basis. Their croque maman is one of my favorites, especially when it's warm with their cheese and Parisian ham. Definitely also recommend their ratatouille (served only on weekends) if you want want something lighter. We always try their seasonal pastries as well, including their famous chocolate chip cookie (endorsed by Oprah!)! Their coffee is also strong and always enjoy their seasonal coffee. Overall, this is a very cute, French style cafe for group brunch and dates! read more

I recently visited this cute coffee shop in Georgetown after visiting the one in DC and since the one I wanted to visit in Georgetown was already closed. They were very busy inside and almost all tables we're taken. There was a line inside but only about 2 people in front of me. I really liked their coffee and pastries. The cashiers were nice and good and beverage came out promptly. Bussers and expos are quick to clean tables and taking food to tables. I will definitely be back when visiting Georgetown. read more

A really beautiful bakery located in Georgetown!! It has been on my list of places to go and I finally had the chance to go. We got a few pastries from their display as pictured below. Most were pretty good and not too sweet. I thought the cookie was a little bit on the drier side and I didn't enjoy as much. Among them my favorite was definitely the lemon blueberry Bundt cake. I got an iced coffee as my drink and it was delicious too. Service was nice and quick and I liked the plates the pastries were on. The space was so pretty and I could see this place being a really good place to catch up with a friend or a study area. Would definitely recommend to come here! read more

Pros: The place is Cute AF and the coffee is pretty good. Cons: Not all areas are wheelchair accessible and It was super crowded so it was hard to get around. The back room (not wheelchair accessible) is much quieter than the front area. read more

We came across Maman when we were looking for breakfast/brunch in Georgetown. It looked pretty packed inside but the hostess told us it would only be a 15 minute wait and it was less than 5 total. We got seated outside in the back where there was only about 4-5 tables so it felt a little private. Our server was really nice and friendly and I could chalk it up to how busy it was but we didn't see him too much during our meal. To start, we got our waters which helped because of how hot it was. We ordered the Gone Abroad and the Rockaway Rhubarb Daiquiri to drink. The daiquiri was a creamy, solid tropical drink. The Gone Abroad was good but only had a sip but refreshing, To eat, we ordered the pastry assortment, Brenda's Belgian Waffles, and the Eggs Ratatouille. We were a little disappointed that they ran out of bacon because it limited some of our choices. The food came out pretty fast though. The pastry basket was a little odd. Came with a chocolate croissant, and two cookies. The croissant was ok but one of the cookies was hard for some reason. The Belgian Waffles were really good. Not crazy sweet and the berry compote gave a little tartness. Could've used bacon for some saltiness though. The ratatouille was ok. The egg was a little overdone but decent flavor. The toast was a little small for how big the dish was though. Overall the brunch was ok. It was packed so maybe it was just an off meal for us. The staff is very friendly though and the drinks are solid. Be prepared for a wait and a lot of people on the weekend though. read more

We came in around 4pm and was told the kitchen is closed so only the pastries were available. We got the strawberry rhubarb hot air balloon, pistachio croissant, and pistachio orange olive oil cake with the orange blossom honey lattes. I love pistachio and orange flavors so they were especially satisfying. The area was cute and there was a lot of seating options but it seemed limited due to how crowded it was. read more

Good food and service. The manager is very friendly. I love this place! The sesame chocolate tahini cookie is delicious!

I tried the matcha latte- it comes with oat milk and you have the choice of sweetening it with lavender or vanilla sweetener. I really liked the cutlery- mostly blue and white themed and they gave an antique vibe to the place. There's also lots of seating options for wfh or for just eating- some tables are no laptop areas. The server and cashier were super friendly and I would come again to try their pastries! read more

We came to the Georgetown location for brunch, and it was a really nice experience! Here are my pros and cons: PROS (+): The ambience and location are lovely! It's a very cozy, beautiful place for a meal with loved ones. Additionally, despite it being a busy Sunday, we were able to put our name on the list, walk around for a few minutes, and get seated very quickly afterward. The chocolate chip and walnut cookies we took home were delicious - Oprah doesn't lie! CONS (-): The coffee and the food we ordered were good, and the portions were good as well, but nothing to write home about. The ratatouille was warm, but neither that, nor the bread that came with it was very flavorful - the flavor came primarily from the feta. Overall, great pastries, nice ambience, and pretty decent food. read more

I have been wanting to go to Maman for some time now and recently got the opportunity to go. We went for brunch; they don't take reservations but luckily we only had to wait a few minutes before being seated. The space is bright, airy, and reminded me of some of the cafes we visited while in Paris. We were given waters and time to peruse the menu. Dining with a toddler, we put our food in pretty quickly. We ordered coffee, the eggs ratatouille, breakfast bowl, and croissant to share. We also ordered a chocolate croissant and strawberry rhubarb pastry to go. Thankfully the croissant came out quickly which our toddler happily munched on. The rest of our dishes came soon after. Everything was delicious. Fresh ingredients and fantastic flavors. The runny egg on my ratatouille dish was perfection. Service was great throughout our meal. Our server was helpful and made us feel welcome. The pastries we took home were amazing too. I just wish there was a Maman closer to me. read more

Visiting on weekends or holidays is definitely not the best idea. This is a chic brunch spot in Georgetown with cute decor so it understandably gets busy and loud. There's usually a line but it moves fast. The wait for a table for 2 is around 15-20 mins. However, every time I visit the waitstaff seems a little overwhelmed by the number of guests despite doing their best and offering friendly and efficient service as much as possible. We had to wait a long time for someone to clean the table and get our check. Their pastries are a little hit or miss for me. Some seasonal items and the chocolate chip cookie are pretty good but other staples, especially the croissants, just don't do the job. A little too sweet, too flat, and not fresh. I liked their savory options much better. The sandwiches are solid, with great presentation, flavor, and portion. read more

Crappy experience here - the lines are always out the door and staff barges through the bakery line. Twice I've almost been run over by kitchen staff without an apology. Icing on the cake was yesterday after I had checked out of buying a stupid $5 cookie, I asked for a bag and the cashier rudely said I needed to pay 25 cents for one and only took card. Excuse me? Weird experience. Please do better, as it's a cute spot and interior but service is clearly lacking and very aggressive. read more

Maman is a delicious and super cute cafe located in Georgetown. You can either order at the counter and take your items to go, or they have a bunch of indoor seating. We went on a Saturday at about 11:30 and the wait was 5 minutes. The table we got was quite small and right at the entrance of the restaurant, so it was great for people watching but not amazing for enjoying the people at your table. The service wasn't great. We got half a bottle of water for our table and then our waitress never brought us another so we asked another table for their water. The food was amazing through! The Tartine au Saumon was one of the best salmon toasts I have had. We also had the make your own omelette, it was also good though a bit wet and they put full (not cut up) cherry tomatoes on it. We also had peach mango tea to drink and it was so flavorful. We ended our meal with the halva dark chocolate cookie which was chewy and so delicious, and the coconut oatmeal cookie which was subtle and moist. The food here is outstanding, you need to try! read more

I really wanted to like this place. I lived in New York for one summer and was really sad about missing out on this place as I have never gone there. Since I just moved to DC, I was super excited to pass by Maman. The interior is extremely cute so that is a positive. I'm sad to say that the signature Orange Blossom honey latte absolutely did not live up to the height. I got mine with almond milk and it was mostly flavorless. It tasted so much like almond milk, that I had to ask for an extra espresso shot. I am giving it an extra star, because the barista did accommodate me. However, the latte art was sadly lacking, and the taste was extremely bland. read more

Boy, did I want this place to be incredible. It is not. The space itself gets a solid 10/10. It goes way back, has a beautiful patio area in back, and is decorated beautifully. I'm sure it'll be a very popular WFH spot. The staff were all great. I went on either their first or second full day open, and they were slammed, but everyone was kind, helpful, and smiling. I went for pastries and cappuccino. I was surprised by the disappointing look of the baked goods through the glass. The breakfast loaves looked dry, the croissants looked chewy and deflated. Regardless, I ordered a pistachio chocolate croissant and my cappuccino. As mentioned in reviews for their Bethesda location, the croissant wasn't flaky at all. It was squishy, which is not a good look for a French bakery. The pistachio interior was like a pudding more than a paste, which was also strange. The drink was meh. There's way better coffee at Compass next door. Way better pastries at Christophe across the road (though their loaf cakes are dry too ). I initially figured maybe these were opening week issues, but seeing similar reviews and photos for their Bethesda location, I no longer think they are. I want this place to be wildly successful, bc I want the neighborhood to be wildly successful. I suppose only time will tell. read more

Overall it gives a feel of a French cafe. Also the menu itself is French oriented. So all in all, I would call it a French styled cafe. From eating here and seeing it while walking by, seems like it's a busy place. Which is a good sign. Most of the seating is inside but they do have outdoor seats. The design and theme inside is one of their best sides. Really cute place. They have good salads. I recommend trying some of those. The pastries collection is big and some of them are pretty artistic. We tried some of them, I would have to say that they were good but not wow. One thing to watch out. With the European feel, you might also assume it's low on calories. However most of the sandwiches and salads are on the higher calories aside. So if this is if a concern, read the calories in the menu, this place is transparent about it. read more

This croissant was truly out of this world. Well, out of this country. And straight into France. It was so buttery and soft words cannot describe it. The insides were warm and gooey and so so scrumptious. And while the pistachio cake wasn't bad either, the croissant just blew me away so spectacularly that I can't get myself to talk about anything else!
