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.

The food was absolutely delicious 🤩 But it wasn't filling much. The place is cute & cozy & I recommend visiting here ✨

Très bon service, prix raisonnables, peu d'attente même sans réservation & je recommande le croque maman !

The food & service were great! I love a brunch place that accepts reservations, which I recommend as it does get crowded. We got the pancakes & the toasted salmon, which were delicious. I found the price point for the salmon high at $22 as it wasn't super filling. Pancakes were at $18, which is typically for MTL brunch places. The place is beautiful. However, there are a lot of tables crammed at the back, which makes it less intimate. I would go back to try their amazing looking cookies, 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!

Overall a good experience. Two of their main items on the menu in my opinion is the waffles & pancakes. So I was disappointed & shocked even they told me they ran out of waffles at noon. Nevertheless, the toppings on the pancakes made the pancakes delicious & i recommend the seasonal French toast latte 🤤

Café de quartier entre Grifintown & le Camal Lachine. Cosy & chaleureux, l'accueil & agréable, ainsi que le service. Tartine de saumon fumé étaient très bonnes, ainsi que le latte. Je recommande ce café

Cozy vibe & delicious food. The waitress accidentally misunderstood my order & I ended up having the same dish as my husband, but it was still very good! We also grabbed some chocolate chip cookies to go. If you're in the area, I recommend trying!

Most employees were nice but were very slow with service. Took a long time to be seated, took a long time to get our drinks let alone food - we thought they forgot about our table. Very nice & cute venue for events, but food wasn’t good enough to recommend for a weekend brunch.

Good food, tasty in its simplicity, but a little pricey for the portion sizes. Two dishes & two hot drinks with tax & tip cost $70.
Good ambiance I would definitely recommend for a brunch with friends situation.
