Review summary

What guests say about maman

Maman seems to be especially appreciated for its brunches, pancakes, coffee, and cookies, with many customers finding the food very good and the service warm. The place is often described as pretty and cozy, but it can be noisy, small, and sometimes uncomfortable, especially during busy times. A few reviews also mention slow service, portions seen as small, and prices that are a bit high. It is often recommended to make a reservation before going.

The place cannot provide what it is manifesting; a warm and cozy place to hang with homemade-style foods. In fact, some specific items, like the fried chicken, felt quite hollow and old. The hygiene is not assured in the shared areas. And the chairs are fairly small and uncomfortable.

Very friendly service, beautiful atmosphere and most importantly delicious food & drinks. I'll be thinking about the matcha lemonade for while!

Really enjoyed my visit here! We had Papa’s Breakfast Bowl and the Maple Crunch Pancakes. Both were great, but I think if I wasn’t having a little bit of both, the breakfast bowl would have felt a little lacking. Service was sooo friendly and warm.

Had a nice brunch here. Grandfather breakfast chicken was delicious, and coffee was good. I didnt love the decor, found it a bit tacky but overall nice (if not a bit expensive) place for brunch (with reservations).

We just discovered Maman. The iced Irish coffee was tasty and boozy 🙌. We both decided to try the fried chicken brunch special. It was perfectly cooked, nice and crispy on the outside, tender and moist inside. Definitely recommend making a reservation. Make sure you pick up a cookie to go. 5/5

It’s been a long time since I’ve wanted to try this place. I didn’t have time to stay, so I had to order to go. When I arrived home and started eating, I saw a staple in one of the toasts. However, I had already eaten the other toast, and I’m not sure if there was a staple in that one too… I spent so much money, and then I just had to throw everything away since I didn’t know if there was anything else in my food…

Just had an awful experience at Maman. We were 6 people and 5 people ordered the same salad and it came missing half the ingredients. If you are about to pay 26$ for a salad you need to check that all the ingredients are in there. Service was extremely slow above that. Do not waste your time

We stopped by for lunch with other moms on maternity leave. Super cute spot with friendly and accomplished staff. Quite spacious we were able to fold 3 strollers next to the table. Excellent service both in french and english. It was a weekday but I imagine it must be super crowded during weekend. Food was alright but I am not usually a fan of brunch.

Brunch was very mid for what we paid, I had the avocado toast (underwhelming) and my friend had the chicken sandwich (she said the chicken was tough). We each paid around 35 dollars, which we regret doing. The coffee was good though, I’d come back just to have a coffee and pastry, but nothing more.

Really cute cafe, atmosphere was nice and really good service. Presentable food and really heavy plated, didn’t expect so much food. Nice fresh ingredients but could use some flavour, or seasoning, the drinks/coffee was good.

This was my first time trying here, and I loved it !!! Their maple crunch pancake has cream cheese and it goes really well with butter pancake ! Also, their bacon jam was unique and delicious… Love their interior decor and friendly staff …. Service was excellent! Tip: definitely reserve before since it is a really popular place

It’s a bit pricey for a coffee and a pastry. Beverages are worth it, most of the time you don’t have to wait or reserved and there’s a reason for that. Staff is friendly, it’s worth a try!
