Please do not eat here if you are gluten free! Despite offering gluten free bread and pastries they cook everything on the same surface. When this happened to my friend they were neither apologetic nor offered to fix the situation, and we ended up forking over another $20 for something she could eat. It felt very inconsiderate and calous for a place promising a homey and welcoming environment

Today was not a good day at Maman and the service at this location just feels like it gets worse every time I go in. Went in at 12:45, they took our order (just my friend and I), never put it in and had to retake our order about forty minutes later. Then it took forever to get our food and my friend waited for her sandwich for so long. Waiters never came to check on us and we continually had to approach them to ask questions and the bill. People were waiting for tables that were open for SO long. We probably would have gotten our food faster if we hadn’t dined in.

Pros:
1. Warm and accommodating staff.
2. Aesthetic presentation of food and drinks, perfect for photos.
3. Enjoyable one-hour visit without feeling rushed.
4. Tasty tartine au saumon and a decent honey lavender latte.

Cons:
1. Limited space, especially with large groups causing crowding.
2. Confusing layout and unattended designated standing areas.
3. Mixed service: Drinks were called out, but food was brought to the table.
4. Tartaro salmon had a strong fishy smell.

Overall, a pleasant experience with some quirks. Consideration for large groups and minor service adjustments could enhance the overall dining experience.

met a friend here for coffee, but once I saw the breakfast menu I knew I needed to order food. I enjoyed a tasty lil omelette with a side salad. Spent a little over 1.5 hours here and loved the cute dishes our food and drinks came on.

My new favorite breakfast spot! The honey lavender latte was to die for. The Papa bowl....amazing! 10 out of 10!

This is such a cute and quaint cafe in the upper west side. We had planned to go to the Hayden planetarium at the American national history museum and wanted to get a quick bite before that. Maman was the perfect spot as it located with a 8 minute walk of the museum.

Maman is such a pleasant space with a nice indoor and outdoor seating. Our host was really nice and got us promptly seated upon arrival. We ordered the carol's tomato basil soup, smashed avocado tartine, granola parfait and the honey lavender latte. Everything was so fresh and tasted amazing. I love the beautiful cup that the latte was give in. You can tell the restaurant puts a lot of attention to details and aesthetics.

Overall we had a wonderful dining experience and would love to visit again.

Wanted to love this place because it’s so quaint and comfy. I was craving eggs and ordered the breakfast sandwich but the bacon jam was soooo sweet and over powering, it ruined the sandwich. The pastries were great but I didn’t want sweet ~ I wanted savory. Also, there was only 1 server and so he had to take care of the whole place. He was very nice but we had to we had to wait about 15 min for our check ….So take that all into consideration. If you’re looking for a sweet pastry this is your place.

Great French inspired Café with tasty baked goods and coffee in a calm and visually appealing setting on the upper west side. Staff was attentive and helpful. Family friendly with indoor and outdoor seating options. Clean bathroom was a nice surprise for the city. Would recommend to anyone needing a break from the hustle and bustle.
