Review Summary

Overall, Maman in Griffintown comes across as a charming, cozy cafe with a warm and welcoming vibe that blends a French countryside bakery feel with a modern urban edge, making it a popular weekday brunch and lunch spot with excellent pastries and good coffee. Many reviewers note that the pastries and breakfast items are reliably tasty, with standout croissants and pancakes, while the sandwiches and lunch options are solid but can feel pricey and portions can be generous. It can get busy and loud, with tight seating and slower service during peak times, leading to longer waits and moments of frustration, though staff are often described as friendly and attentive when available. The overall tone is that Maman is a dependable and charming cafe to visit for pastries and beverages, worth returning to despite occasional slower service or higher prices.

I love pastry for breakfast but I usually can't find it anywhere. Maman has a pastry assortment, which is fresh & very tasty, exactly what I like for breakfast. The French toast not that good though.

Yes, the cookies are to die for 😍 The dining area is literally packed with tables so it feels quite claustrophobic but I appreciated being seated almost immediately even for Sunday brunch. We did wait 40+mins for our food. Other than that, lovely rustic atmosphere, great coffee & food - highly recommend the Maman's breakfast sandwich!

A wonderful bistro on a quiet section of Notre Dame (West) in Griffontown, Maman has a bright, airy atmosphere that adds a pleasant ambiance to your brunch. Stylized with faded white-stained patio furniture, surrounded by antiqued mirrors & a variety of hanging fauna, Maman provides a summertime vibe even in winter time. The menu options are generally of the "healthy" variety so you won't find the classic diner style breakfast here, however there are some excellent baked goods as compensation. For our meal we enjoyed the Papa's Breakfast Bowl (very good...I really liked the roasted potatoes), the Wilde Salad (also very good), a butter croissant (very good) & a "Oprah" cookie (excellent..super fresh & tasty)...as well as a Maple French Toast Latte (yum). Service was attentive & the meal was delivered very quickly. We arrived at around 10am & the restaurant was still available...but by 11am it was mostly full. Definitely worth a visit. Enjoy!
