maman — Restaurant in New York

4 stars for the food, 0 for the service. They have complicated rules on the weekend for takeout vs dine in. I tried to order at the counter and was told I need to sit down. But then sat down and no one came, so I flagged a server down who told me I was in the takeout area and how to go back to the counter to order. Which I did. But then my food came and they had gotten my breakfast order wrong. When I asked asked for it to be corrected, they said I was sitting in the wrong area for my order. Since I had gotten coffee and eggs instead of coffee and a pastry. I explained that I wanted to sit by the door for the ventilation. I was told I could sit there until it got busy and people with coffee and pastries needed the space. So I ate my eggs out of a togo container quickly, feeling unwelcome and worried that I would need to get up for someone with coffee and a pastry. Not a great experience for a $20...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Maman and it was an incredible experience. The cafe had a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with beautiful decor and a warm and welcoming vibe.

The food and drinks were absolutely delicious! The pastries were baked fresh and had a wonderful flavor and texture. The coffee was also excellent, with a rich and smooth taste.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that everything was to my liking. They were also happy to make recommendations and answer any questions I had about the menu.

One thing I really appreciated about Maman was the attention to detail. Everything from the presentation of the food to the cleanliness of the cafe was impeccable.

Overall, I highly recommend Maman to anyone looking for delicious pastries, coffee, and a great atmosphere. The staff, food, and ambiance were all...

The café is so pretty. I have visited the branch near Fifth Av in Manhattan, yet the Cobble Hill branch in Brooklyn seems to be more spacious and cleaner. Their tableware and cups are also as elegant as an art piece.

＊ Quiche Emily There are three types of quiches available, and I've chosen this one with spinach, broccoli, carrots, red pepper and lemon ricotta. The portion is much bigger than I thought! It is served warm so the tart base is crispy and the egg filling is as soft as an egg tart. Yet the taste is quite mild, better to add more seasonings to enhance the layers of flavors.

＊ Pistachio Chocolate Croissant Impressively delicious. Whenever there is a pistachio flavor pastry, I will just go for it beyond doubt. The pistachio crisps are great, and the croissant is stuffed with milk and white chocolate! Everything just complements...
