" This café is a must-visit! I came across Maman while exploring Princeton and it exceeded my expectations. The ambiance is vibrant, perfect for catching up with friends. I ordered the quiche, and it was delicious, coupled with a fresh salad. My only issue was how busy it was during lunch hour, but the staff managed to keep up with our needs admirably. I’ll definitely return for more of their pastries! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, it was a pleasant experience at Maman. The pastries were quite good; however, as someone who loves savory options too, I felt like the menu could offer a bit more. The atmosphere was everything I expected, lovely, and inviting. Service was fairly quick, though I did experience a mix-up with my order. Very likely to return for dessert and coffee again, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Maman and was genuinely impressed by the wide selection of pastries, especially the chocolate almond croissant. The atmosphere is charming, and it truly feels like a slice of Paris in Princeton. The service was fairly quick despite the crowd. A must-try for anyone who loves baked goods! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took a friend here for brunch, expecting a stellar culinary adventure based on the raving reviews. We ordered the breakfast bowl and croissants. The food was indeed good, but the prices felt a bit higher than expected considering the portion sizes. The vibe is lovely, though; I really enjoyed the decor and ambiance, making it a nice outing overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Maman is charming but it can get uncomfortably busy on weekends. My experience was great in terms of food; the pastries were divine! However, I had to wait a long time for my coffee, which was frustrating. But the staff is generally attentive and friendly, so that adds points in my book. I would definitely go back.

" I was excited to check out Maman after hearing all the hype. The place is beautifully decorated and gives off a nice vibe! I tried the breakfast sandwich which was solid, but the real winners here are the pastries. I’d come back without a doubt for a sweet treat and definitely recommend it to anyone in Princeton. A fantastic spot to unwind with a warm drink! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely brunch here recently with my best friend. The pastries were fresh and delightful, especially the orange olive oil cake. The space was vibrant, filled with cozy nooks perfect for conversation. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Just when we thought it couldn't get better, the coffee arrived—rich and flavorful. I will definitely be a regular! " (*Curated Review*)
