Le personnel est sympathique, attentionné & l'ambiance vraiment agréable. On s'est régalé du début à la fin, rien à redire. Une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter !
• French toast with coffee mascarpone: really good.
• Hojicha latte: recommended.
• Lavender latte: strange flavour, wouldn't order again.
• Owner is friendly
What a lovely discovery!
This Griffintown café has a warm, homely décor. The menu features classic dishes made with unique ingredients, giving them a wonderfully original twist. I love that the breakfast menu is available throughout lunchtime. The service was friendly & attentive. I'll definitely be returning with guests!
& since it is a cafe, let me add that they have very good coffee.
Amazing seasonal Honey-butter Latte. Great spot for a breakfast/brunch.
You could really sense the stress of the young lady at the front-it made for an unsettling start to the experience. They came twice with coffee orders when we haven't even ordered yet which added to the confusion. That said, our main waiter was exceptional: attentive, sweet, & the only bright spot of our visit. The food took at least 45 minutes to arrive, & I can't say it was worth the wait…
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.
We were not planning on coming to Maman for breakfast, but extremely thankful we came across it. The french toast & pancakes were delectable. We also had their homemade lemonade & chai latte & both did not disappoint. The decor was beautiful & the staff was so incredibly friendly. They made our visit so special.
L'endroit est vraiment sympa & une partie du staff aussi, mais on a attendu 1h pour notre brunch. C'était si long, la nourriture ne valait pas toute cette attente. C'est bon mais c'est pas non plus exceptionnelle. Personnellement j'ai pris le bol déjeuner Papa & en plus ils ont oublié de mettre l'avocat, on a du le signaler & ils nous l'ont donné par la suite. Je pense sincèrement que cet endroit a du potentiel, mais la lenteur de la cuisine est vraiment à revoir, en plus de ça, leurs repas c'est un petit budget, alors si en plus d'attendre 1h & +, on doit payer $30 & +, c'est vraiment décevant. En conclusion, il y a mieux sur 10.
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 oedered a croque maman, a chicken sandwich added a egg, a hot chocolate & a latte.
I felt the croque maman was a little dry.
Our Go-To Breakfast Spot in Montreal!
We had breakfast here twice during our stay in Montreal, & it quickly became one of our favorite spots in the city. The food is fresh, tasty, & satisfying - perfect for starting the day right. Whether you're craving a classic New York-style bagel or something more filling, Mama N.Y.C. delivers.
What truly stood out was the warmth & kindness of the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, & made us feel right at home both times we visited.
Great atmosphere, great service, & great coffee - we'll definitely be back next time we're in town. Highly recommended!
I had a nice experience at Maman. The tahini sesame latte was really good. The three meals we had were solid & flavorful. The service was great, & the manager really made sure everything went smoothly. It was an enjoyable visit overall!
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 ».
On a positive note the decor & general vibe of the place is nice. The options & prices are reasonable. The food was a underwhelming but fine. The negative experience is primarily related to the service we received. Our server was polite, friendly & attentive… but 30 minutes before closing she started putting a lot of pressure on us to finish up & leave. We arrived around 2:45 pm & had just gotten our plates & champagne when the server asked us if we could move to another table so that she could… mop? I understand wanting to get your chores done so you can leave early but sweeping & pulling around dirty buckets of water while customers are eating is a little gross. I told her I didn't feel like moving (POV coffees, Champaign, juices, mimosas, waters, fresh plates of food etc) & I would like to just enjoy my meal until close. She continued returning to the table every few minutes to remind us we had to leave my 4 that we eventually were so uncomfortable that we just gave up on eating, chugged the mimosas & left. I wouldn't go back as I feel I paid a lot for a bad experience.
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.
The atmosphere makes the whole place. & I don't just mean the décor, I also mean the people who work there. The customer service was more than amazing. The barista/waiter was incredible, so attentive, & our food was just absolutely inscandescently sweet. For the sweet tooth lovers, this will %100 hit the spot.
I visited Maman for brunch, & it was an absolute delight. The aesthetics are unique & soothing, making you feel like you've stepped into a peaceful garden-a perfect escape from the city's hustle. The food was delicious, with unique flavors & recipes that stand out from the usual brunch fare. Don't expect your typical American breakfast here; the menu leans more towards a European vibe, offering a fresh & flavorful twist. Their coffees are just as impressive, especially the lattes, which are smooth, rich, & beautifully crafted. If you're looking for a cozy & charming spot with great food & coffee, this café is a must-visit!
Très bel endroit, les serveuses gentilles & bonne cuisine. Attente très longue
Came here for brunch & our whole group ordered papa's breakfast plate. Meal was delicious including the croissant ordered on the side. Staff were all friendly & attentive. Would definitely return.
