" Visited Maman for the first time during my trip to DC and absolutely fell in love! The atmosphere is incredible, full of natural light. I ordered a coffee and the seasonal cake they had, and both were divine. The staff was exceptionally friendly and even offered me a taste of another pastry, which I enjoyed. Although I felt the prices were on the steeper side for some items, the quality certainly matched. I’ll definitely recommend it to anyone near Union Market! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my visit! I stopped by Maman during my explorations of the Union Market. The décor made it feel so trendy yet welcoming. I indulged in a carrot cake slice that was so fresh it felt like it had just come out of the oven! Plus, I had the best mocha of my life! The staff was super attentive too. I highly recommend this café if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle. I will be recommending it to all my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently held a small work meeting at Maman and I couldn't have chosen a better place. The atmosphere is excellent for productivity—soft lighting, and plenty of seating. I had the wrap and a chai latte; both were executed very well! The wrap was packed with flavor and came with a side of fresh greens. The staff was friendly and ensured we had everything we needed. While slightly pricey, the quality justified it. I’ll definitely return for another meeting or social gathering. " (*Curated Review*)

" Maman is a gem! I was skeptical at first because the establishment seemed a little trendy, but I found the food genuinely delightful. The croissants are a must-try, and don't miss their lavender syrup in the latte. One minor drawback was the confusion at the counter; a few people seemed to be misplaced. However, the staff handled everything with grace. The setting is cozy, perfect for a quick read or catch-up with a friend. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I read several reviews before coming to Maman and they didn't disappoint at all! The staff was friendly and the space was cozy. I went there for a work session and found the seats comfortable and the WiFi reliable. The coffee was exceptional; I tried their dark roast and it was rich! However, the pastries didn’t live up to my expectations—they were good but nothing out of the ordinary. Nevertheless, I would recommend Maman for a casual date or coffee with friends. Can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Maman, I finally decided to visit. It definitely lives up to its reputation! The atmosphere is eclectic and charming. The flowers, the seating, and even the menu felt carefully curated. I tried the pumpkin spice croissant and the sweet potato latte. The croissant was divine, flaky with just the right amount of sweetness. The latte? Absolutely delightful! I was taken aback by how delicious it was. My only complaint would be the wait time for drinks. It gets busy, especially on weekends, but overall, a place I highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at this quaint little café was truly a delight! We had brunch here one sunny Saturday and the vibe was just right. We ordered the French toast and a selection of pastries. The French toast was sumptuous—sweet yet perfectly balanced. The pastries, which I learned were made fresh in-house, were fantastic. They even had a vegan option which I appreciate! The staff was incredibly warm and made suggestions that truly enhanced our meal. I feel like I left a little piece of my heart there. Will definitely come back soon! " (*Curated Review*)
