Very disappointing experience. The food was far from what we expected, & we couldn't even finish it. I definitely do not recommend eating here. It is completely different from the New York version & seems to share the name only. If you're expecting the same quality & taste as in New York, you will likely be disappointed.

A lovely brunch place with ample space to sit & enjoy delicious cookies & coffee & oh so generously served, rich salads! Could t even finish but took away what was left as it would be a crime to waste such good food. Service was very kind & helpful, too. Also, even if it's not our scene, if you're after hip options for beverages & food (white matcha, lavender hot chocolate, truffled croque monsieur etc ), this is definitely your place

Malheureusement,
le rapport qualité-prix n'y est pas ~20$ + taxes + tips (+ la boisson, pas en dessous ~7$+tx)
Pour ce montant, l'assiette est très pauvre en saveurs & décevante :
un seul oeuf au plat, une portion excessive de pommes de terre, une grosse touffe de laitue pour remplir l'assiette, la moitié d'un avocat à moitié noirci & une unique tomate cerise, le tout noyé sous la sauce.
Sans parler du sandwich de mon conjoint à 24$ pour 2 lamelles de poulet & 3 de poivrons (toujours rempli d'une énorme touffe de laitue pour combler l'espace) :/
Nous adorons pourtant le Maman de Miami, dont la qualité est littéralement & nettement supérieure.
Il y a un réel besoin d'ajustements pour justifier ce prix.
Vraiment déçu.

We came here for drinks after hearing several good recommendations, but unfortunately our experience was the complete opposite.

Our server, Howie, was cold & dismissive from the start. As we were ordering, my friend mentioned that we were only planning to have drinks & asked if that was okay. His response was,'If that's okay with me,' in a very unfriendly tone, which immediately made us feel unwelcome.

After our drinks were brought out, he never came back to check on us. I understand that places can get busy, but we were there for over two & a half hours & not once did he ask if everything was okay or if we needed anything else.

When it was time to pay, he came over trying to remember what we had ordered. My friend tried to help by listing our drinks, & he responded with,'Absolutely, give me one second,' again in a very cold & rude manner. He processed the payment, walked away without a thank you or even a simple'Have a good day,' & that was the end of the interaction.

We spoke with the manager afterward, who apologized & said she would speak with him. She mentioned that the kitchen had been having issues, but that doesn't excuse treating customers poorly, especially when we were only there for drinks.

This is honestly one of the worst service experiences I've had at a café. Looking back, I don't think the service deserved a tip. Unfortunately, I won't be returning, & I wouldn't recommend this café to others. There are plenty of great cafés in the area, but Café Maman won't be one I'll be visiting again.
