Review Summary

Maman is widely recognized as a charming and cozy destination for breakfast, brunch, and coffee, often praised for its beautiful, homey decor and high quality pastries. Many patrons enjoy the fresh ingredients and unique, flavor-forward dishes, frequently highlighting the sandwiches and pancakes as standout options. While the atmosphere is consistently described as inviting, some visitors note that the space can become quite loud and crowded during peak times, leading to concerns about noise levels and tight seating. Experiences with service and food consistency vary, with some guests reporting highly attentive and friendly staff alongside efficient service, while others have faced significant delays, inconsistency in meal quality, or challenges with cleanliness. Despite these mixed reports, it remains a popular neighborhood staple that many continue to frequent for its distinct aesthetic and welcoming appeal.

Food is good but very expensive breakfast

Very cozy place. More of a brunch/breakfast vibe. Some people go to work/study. Food is amazing however it does take a little time, be patient people! Recommended!

Maman came up as one of the top brunch spots in the area in my Google search so I decided to try it out on a Sunday. I'm happy I reserved a table a day before because when I showed up there was a line of 10-12 people waiting outside. Even with a reservation, I still had to wait 15 minutes to get seated which is why I'm removing a star. Nevertheless, the hostess was extremely friendly & helpful, she was clearly busy sorting things out so props to her for handling everything in such a friendly manner. The servers were quick to take our order & bring our food. The food is pricey, for a breakfast bowl in the picture & a drink my bill came up to $40. Even though I have no complaints about food (it was warm, tasty, & came on time), it's hard to justify paying those prices, especially when the atmosphere is quite disappointing when you expect a cozy brunch spot. The interior of the cafe is ok. They're going for a rustic look which they've achieved nicely but in the process forgot to make it practical. The chairs were quite uncomfortable, the seat on mine was falling apart. I saw some people sitting on scraped metal folding chairs like the ones you might find at a high school concert. The place is very crammed like others said, if you're the unfortunate person sitting with your back/side to a walking path you'll for sure get brushed against every time someone passes by. Overall, worth checking out once to check-mark off your list. However, not a place I would keep going back to regularly, it didn't live up to the hype for me.

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!
