Review Summary

Reviewers describe Maman in Griffintown as a charming, cozy cafe with a warm, French countryside bakery vibe blended with a modern urban energy, a reliable weekday brunch and lunch spot that stays busy but inviting. The pastry program is a frequent standout, with almond and pistachio croissants, pain au chocolat and other beautiful, fresh treats that many guests praise. Breakfast and lunch items like pancakes, French toast, a generous breakfast sandwich, ratatouille toast, and a varied sandwich lineup receive praise for flavor and generosity, though a few notes point to certain dishes being a touch sweet or not as memorable. Coffee and drinks often earn compliments, including distinctive options such as tahini honey latte, lavender latte, and a solid cappuccino, while some visits report inconsistency or longer waits during peak times. Service is described as friendly and efficient on many visits, with the owner and staff warmly welcoming guests, yet other experiences mention overwhelmed staff, slow service, and a crowded, noisy room with close tables. Prices run a bit high for a casual cafe, but several reviewers feel the quality justifies the cost, and reservations are advised on weekends due to popularity. Overall the space, decor and vibe are repeatedly praised, making Maman a go to spot for a comforting brunch and a place to linger over pastry and coffee, even if some visits fall short on timing or balance.

Super cute restaurant! Pancakes & cookies & coffee were 12/10. Avo toast would not order again.

I needed coffee (take out) so I went in when I was running errands nearby without first reading reviews or looking at menu. It was off peak hours on a weekday, not busy at all. Interior is quite cute, seems relaxed enough to have a nice conversation with friends or study - a couple of tables had people studying or working. Service was super friendly at the cash. Barista was nice too. My drink was perfect. I grabbed a couple of the famous cookies, they are quite good but not sure why they are so famous. I might come back to try the brunch options. Parking is difficult to find.

Finally popped in here while killing some time for an appointment nearby (I've heard it's insanely busy on weekends so was happy to go on a weekday). The food was delicious - tried the pancakes & would absolutely order them again. $18 for a stack of three pancakes is definitely pricy but you have to accept the upscale prices if you want to dine here unfortunately. For a black coffee & pancakes, it came to about $25. The drip coffee was a bit bitter but generally tasted good. Service was so so. Took a few minutes to be seated but the server came by relatively quickly to take my order. Food came out quickly but never saw my server again until I was finished. The place was busy for 1:30pm on a weekday but I echo similar comments that there are far too many tables crammed into the space which really takes away from the atmosphere. Less so if you're seated near the front of the cafe but very much at the back near the kitchen. Overall a cute cafe to try out in the area. Would return for the pancakes!

We can go on & on about this place - Food: we had the French toast & the smoked salmon along with Mamans dish. The first two were our favourites - Drinks: we had flat white & black coffee & the coffee was great - Atmosphere: Interior is so cozy with lots of natural plants & classic decorations - Staff: amazing welcoming staff. Our flight was an hour delayed & we missed our reservation by an hour & they checked by calling & honoured our request to put it on hold though they had a long queue waiting outside

After visiting the Toronto location, i had to see the Montréal one. Really loved it! We had the Katie sandwich & green goddess. Both were delicious. Their drip coffee is excellent as well. The restaurant was a little busy but service was really fast. It is nicely decorated & food is excellent. Prices are a little high but everything seems of quality.

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!
