Came in for breakfast after a workout class and it was PACKED for being one of the only open morning spots in Bethesda Row during Thanksgiving week. I got a coffee and an omelet, which came with a side of greens. It was delicious, I really loved the feta and tomato. Not a huge fan of communal tables, but it was definitely better than having to wait. Our server was very busy and it took awhile to get her attention, but once again - it was a holiday week.

Maman has a visually stunning interior--elevated yet earthy, with a warm and inviting vibe. It's the kind of place that feels cozy and chic at the same time, perfect for a coffee break. However, the overall experience didn't quite match the aesthetic. The service left much to be desired. The cashier was rude and impatient, which put a damper on the visit. The drinks themselves were as expected but not particularly exciting. I ordered the Pistachio Wreath Dark Chocolate Cappuccino, but it mostly tasted like dark chocolate--I couldn't detect any pistachio or "wreath" flavors, which was disappointing. The Honey Lavender Latte was better, with a subtle floral sweetness, but it didn't stand out as exceptional. Additionally, the café was far too busy and noisy to enjoy. The bustling atmosphere and loud environment made it difficult to relax, and it's not a place I'd choose to return to for a peaceful coffee outing. While Maman has a lot of visual charm, the coffee and service don't quite live up to the hype. It's worth a visit for the ambiance if that's your priority, but not if you're seeking a standout coffee experience.

Very cute and homey cafe in Bethesda. Ordered an almond croissant, the waffles, as well a the avocado tartine with a fried egg. We arrived a little before the kitchen opened so waited a short amount of time before the food arrived to our table. Presentation wise -- 10/10. However, I wasn't a huge fan of the corn in the waffles (my boyfriend's selection). As for the tartine, it tasted as expected and the portion was generous. Overall, the stars for this review go to the ambiance, the staff, and the quickness in preparation. The food/chai arent something id go out of the way for.

One of the foods that we ordered was spoiled but the manager promptly took our advice to take the menu down from the day. Tartine was very fresh and good. I got seasonal cocktails and it was very good. Inside can be very loud but air conditioned, outside was quieter but super hot. Wish they had some fans installed. But it is definitely such a cute place to hang out with friends on Sunday morning/afternoon. Only reason I gave the 4 star might be the spoiled food. Everything else was good including services.

If you haven't been to Maman, you have got to come here! The ambience of a cute little cafe, the attention to detail in their service, and the food and coffee! In comparison to the other cafes, this is my favorite, because of the food and the service. The employees are upbeat and have a friendly disposition. I've been to other comparable cafes and the employees look so glum that you feel like you're troubling them when you put on an order! Now onto the food! You really can't go wrong with anything on this menu, but if I had to choose, I would recommend the Quiche Sarah and the Kale Caesar Salad. And for dessert, you can't also can't go wrong with anything! Their cookies and croissants are super yummy. I'll have to come back to try each item! I should add that parking might be a little difficult but there are plenty of garages in the area. Bon Appetit!!!

I was walking in Bethesda and looking for a latte. I wandered into Maman and was mesmerized by the beautiful interior. It looked like a beautiful garden. I was drawn to the pastry counter, which held a lot of delicious looking treats. My friend, Libby F. has raved about their pastries. She has good taste. Service was excellent. I ordered a mocha latte and it was fabulous. I was in such a hurry, that I had to run. But, I made a note to return and sample some of the goodies. My coffee was so good. It was rich, chocolatey, and warm. I will definitely be back for some more mocha lattes and some food, on my next trip.

We visited maman over the weekend and the place was packed but the wait wasn't long. Their theme is floral blue and white - plates and cups, menu, wallpaper, and even their coffee machine was wrapped in their signature floral design. They have an abundant selection of pastries which are nicely displayed. There are indoor and outdoor seating as well as a back cafe to order to go. We ordered lattes which came beautifully in their blue/white cup and saucer. The latte was good. My friend had the pistachio croissant and she said it was good as well. They offer breakfast and lunch items but we were eager to check out other parts of Georgetown. Overall, the cafe ambiance was nice and a good first stop.

I have been eager to visit Maman because the outside decor is stunning! It looks like a French bistro nestled in downtown Bethesda. I enjoyed a meal indoors and the experience was a little confusing. There is an app to order food but they also have table service. I did not know if should wait for my server to come or take things into my own hands and order on the app. The server did not check on my table too frequently so that was the main source of confusion. I was underwhelmed by the menu options as a vegan. I thank Maman for labeling vegan menu items. It seemed there was only 2 breakfast options that were vegan and none of the sandwiches were vegan. I believe some options could be made vegan without cheese. I really encourage Maman to expand the sandwiches menu to include something that is vegan without modification. I ordered the smashed avocado tartine and it was stunning! I loved how many micro greens were decorated on top. The tartine came with a strip of salt, red pepper flakes, and lemon wedge. I thought it was neat that you could customize the tartine by making it as salty, spicy, and citrusy as you wanted with the provided seasonings. Overall the tartine was good but not great enough to come back without more vegan options to try. The latte was superb! They sadly have a $1 vegan tax for a nondairy milk. The flavor of this latte was fantastic so the $1 was well worth it. This latte was creamy, smooth, and even came with latte art. I would certainly visit again if I needed a coffee in Bethesda. Thank you for a really nice brunch! I do think there is room for improvement but overall I had a good experience and hope the vegan options increase as the menu gets updated!
