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.

Very friendly service, beautiful atmosphere & most importantly delicious food & drinks. I'll be thinking about the matcha lemonade for while!

Really cute cafe, atmosphere was nice & really good service. Presentable food & really heavy plated, didn't expect so much food. Nice fresh ingredients but could use some flavour, or seasoning, the drinks/coffee was good.

Went here for brunch with a friend. We waited 10 minutes to be seated despite multiple empty tables on the patio. Once we were seated it took 20-30 minutes for our server to come check in with us so we could order drinks & food. Drinks were good & came within 10-15 min. Food took over an hour to come - we ordered the papa breakfast & pancakes with a side of fried chicken. I cut into the chicken & it was visibly raw in the centre - the person who brought the food out agreed it was raw & asked us to check the other fried chicken & it was raw as well. They took them back to the kitchen. By the time they had come back with the chicken - over 20 minutes later we were mostly finished our meals. They also brought out the same chicken cut in half & it was obvious they just threw it back in the deep fryer - it was black in some areas but obviously not raw anymore. I asked for my meal to be discounted as I was not going to be eating the chicken & the person said it was not possible. I again asked our waitress when it was time for the bills to get a discounted meal & the ?manager came out. Said it was not possible the chicken was raw & when I explained the situation she called the owner & they just removed my latte from the bill. Overall it was a bad experience, poor customer service & mediocre food.

I've been to maman 3 times twice for brunch & once for a'quick' coffee. Both times I've visited for brunch were amazing, the service was good, & the food was even better! They have seasonal & fun drinks that I'm always wanting to try. Today I went to grab a quick coffee with my friend & I'm sad to say I was disappointed with my experience. I went to try the tahini honey latte, I was lucky & there was a sign next to the cash so I just pointed at it. My friend decided to get the same, & when it came to pay for our 3 drinks & 3 pastries I DOUBLE checked to make sure it was the tahini honey lattes that we were getting & the poor person behind the cash looked new so I double checked for that reason & of course the order came out wrong. I was missing a cookie & turns out my drinks inputted as lavender lattes. When I said I ordered the tahini honey lattes, I was shocked when the other person asked me to pay the difference. Great overall customer service :)

We went on Easter Sunday so take this review with a grain of salt!

Overall, the food was tasty & they have a lot of options across drinks, coffee, pastries & brunch fare.

The food did take a long time to arrive, & they brought us the wrong drink (twice), but they were also apologetic, kind, & accommodating. Considering all this, I would still return!

Service was quite slow : our drinks came room temperature (it wasn't a big deal for the Lavender Latte but the Mom-on Raspberry Guava Mimosas had definitely been sitting a while on the counter because they were warm; & it took >1hr to get our food. The Green Goddess salad unfortunately lacked flavour, was quite different from what you may expect if you've had a green goddess salad before but the Smoked Salmon Tartine on the other hand
was quite good & would absolutely recommend.
*Also TBH despite the long wait & room temperature drinks, we would have probably gotten a few more cocktails to try & a dessert since it was our first time here but the fact that no one came to check on us after taking our initial order just made us go somewhere else to finish our « brunch date ».

Tried this restaurant for the first time over the winter holidays & I enjoyed my experience. The space was aesthetically cute & cozy. The staff members were very friendly & really helpful with explaining the menu. I had the vegan avocado toast which came with a salad. Oat milk lattes are my comfort drink & theirs was delicious.
