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.

This place was suggested by a friend & we had a nice brunch there. First, you need to reserve if you are few peoples & dont want to wait outside. The place looks so authentiiic. Meals are simple but very delicious. I had bol de déjouner de papa & I really enjoyed it. Best part was the pain au chocolate with pistachio cream. It is the best that you can try for a very reasonable money.

I had a reservation for 5 at 11 AM. When I made the reservation I was told we would have the table until 12:30. I arrived 5 minutes early, before my guests, & was seated. At about 5 after 11, the hostess felt the need to tell me that my table would be needed at 12:30 regardless of the time the others arrived. This made us feel rushed from the get go. Although everyone was seated & ready to order by 11:30, we only received our food at 12. A little before 12:30, I asked for another cup of coffee which was brought to me in a to go cup. Again, we were being rushed out. Our server was very busy but good & we enjoyed the food. We did not appreciate the hostess who kept rushing us from the beginning. She said it herself that they give everyone a grace period of 15 minutes. I will not be returning. I did not appreciate the hostess's attitude.

I absolutely loved this restaurant from A to Z. The food was absolutely amazing. The service may have seemed long for others, but we were catching up with friends we'd not seen in a long time - so it was perfect. However, I saw a kitchen staff leave the bathroom stall without washing her hands & was completely flabbergasted by this 😳

This has been a regular brunch spot for all of my friends until today. We ordered 3 main & two of them were burned - pancakes & French toast. Ratatouille was yummy as usual. When I told the server, she came back from the kitchen & explained that "that is how they do it." Well, nope. It wasn't nicely browned & I know the difference. They both tasted burned, bitter & black in some parts. The cook did not even bother look at the burned food to judge what I was talking about! I actually love it all the way to the brownest possible(cancer allert!), so please don't tell me that it is the usual at Maman. Although the server was apologetic, some staff coming in & out of the kitchen glared at us for quite some time after my complaint. First we thought that he was the cook & would come over to take a look, but he never did. It was my friend's birthday brunch & everybody involved acted diplomatic. The server said sorry & we tipped her well because she was definitely not the one who burned our food. However, I feel like the kitchen & the management as a whole was irresponsible with their explanation & attitude. I mean we have been here many times & the menu we ordered have been consisstently our favourites! We know what they should taste like. Long story short - I expected more from my once favourite place Maman. I will not return to Maman.

Even though we had a reservation, we waited 30 minutes before being seated. A young lady arrived after us & didnt have a reservation yet she only waited 10 minutes for a table. The service was slow, yes the place was packed but waiting another 30 mins for your meal is absurd. I've had better tasty croque monsieur from Premiere Moisson. The lady who greeted us for lovely, can't remember her name.
