Open seven days a week, maman offers a selection of delicious baked goods, coffee, fresh breakfast and lunch options, and seated lunch, brunch, and a full bar at selected locations.
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.
Enjoyed the atmosphere, the pancakes are amazing, the service was excellent will come back for sure to taste the salty menu that looked delicious. Really recommend for a brunch no reservations needed but might be a good idea if your are more than 4
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!
So cute !! The Greek Goddess salad was delicious, so fresh. Our server was super nice & welcoming. The gluten free bread is good & there are a lot of gluten free options Delicious fruits & fluffy pancakes.
Déçue... J'étais une habituée depuis plusieurs années.. la qualité était au rdv mais très déçue aujourd'hui.. avocado toast avec une sorte de purée d'avocat, c'était sec & ça se voyait que c'était pas frais alors qu'avant c'était très frais très bon. Les viennoiseries secs aussi.. je ne pense plus revenir :( cher en +.. maintenant il y a un monde fou, l'endroit a été victime de son succès & perdu de la qualité dommage !!
Première expérience Les plats sont généreux & les saveurs explosent en bouche à chaque bouchée. La qualité est irréprochable & le rapport qualité-prix est parfait. Une expérience culinaire qui ne déçoit pas ! Note 9/10 À recommander pour amis, amoureux, tout le monde !

super cute place for breakfast with great ambiance & a nice selection of drinks & food suited for everyone's taste!!! we got the maple pancakes & a fried chicken dish & they were delicious! maman is a lovely breakfast/brunch spot
Un très bel endroit. Par contre les plats sont peu copieux pour le prix. Le service correct mais le serveur était un peu diva, je reste mitigée. Pas certaine d'y retourner pour un brunch mais pour un café oui!
