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.

Really enjoyed my visit here! We had Papa's Breakfast Bowl & the Maple Crunch Pancakes. Both were great, but I think if I wasn't having a little bit of both, the breakfast bowl would have felt a little lacking. Service was sooo friendly & warm.

J'adore venir bruncher chez Maman. C'est un endroit très sympa pour y manger matin & midi, il y a beaucoup de choix. Grosse préférence pour les pancakes, c'est toujours un 10/10 pour moi. Il est facile de réserver, il y a souvent de la place (ça évite les longues files d'attente). Les serveurs sont toujours tres gentils & accueillants. Je recommande !

Came for lunch on a Friday. It took about 20 minutes until someone came to take our order, then another 40 minutes to get the food. I ordered the'healthy' pancakes which were good but they still seem to be very carby as my blood sugar skyrocketed after (I'm diabetic). Not their fault per se but still wouldn't count them as healthy.

The space gets very noisy & the tables are extremely close together & the chairs uncomfortable. Nowhere to hang coats & bags so I had to hold my backpack the entire time as the floor was wet & no space to put it. Disappointing experience.

Second visit:
The carrot soup was excellent.
Maman's breakfast sandwich was good.
Papa's breakfast bowl was ok.
The food was definitely better than the first time!

First visit:
It's odd to say, but I loved the plates-they were very Instagrammable. However, the croissants were not fresh, & the pancakes were average. While some enjoyed the salmon toast, it wasn't to my taste. The service & atmosphere were both okay. Despite some disappointments, I wouldn't mind giving it another try.

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.
