"I recently had the pleasure of visiting Maman in Alexandria, VA, and I was thoroughly impressed. This charming coffee shop is a must visit for anyone looking for a delicious treat and a warm atmosphere. The pastries are absolutely divine, with a wide variety of sweet and savory options to choose from. I was particularly intrigued by the salted tahini honeycomb latte, and it did not disappoint. The combination of flavors was unique and delightful, and the quality of the coffee was top notch. The atmosphere of Maman is cozy and charming, making it the perfect spot to sit up the stairs with a good book or catch up with friends. The service is also noteworthy, with friendly and welcoming staff who are quick to get your drinks and treats out to you. The breakfast sandwiches are also a great option, with fresh ingredients and generous portions. Overall, I would highly recommend Maman to anyone looking for a great cup of coffee, delicious pastries, and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're a local or just visiting Alexandria, Maman is definitely worth a visit."

"Lovely cafe. Delicious food. Nice ceremuc dishes. Bright upstairs seating. They will bring the food and drinks to you. We enjoyed cappuccino, lavender hot chocolate, bacon egg croissant, and salmon cream cheese croissant. 😋"

"Recently visited the Old Town location during a weekday for lunch around 11 am. It is in the old Foxtrot location with two levels and much smaller than other Mamans in the area. Very busy for lunch - you place your order downstairs and then there is open bar seating downstairs and open seating upstairs. The seating filled up pretty quickly but by the time our order was filled there were other patrons living and we were able to be seated. The seating is really close but otherwise the upstairs seating is cozy with a side view of King Street. I ordered the Martha pomegranate punch and the Mediterranean bowl both which were delicious. The bowl was fresh and light with good flavor. The punch I believe is limited edition for the winter. The staff did come around upstairs to clear dishes and ask if we needed anything (as well as bringing your order if you decide to sit inside). I would definitely visit again for food and drinks to go and maybe come sit during a less busy time. $ There is paid street parking in Old Town"

"This place is cute and was slammed when I got there but they were pretty quick to get my drink made. I went there because they had a drink that sounded interesting. It was the hot salted tahini honeycomb latte, t’was pretty good and hit the spot. I also really like plates and the to go cups and the desserts looked good too."

"Adorable breakfast and lunch spot in the heart of Old Town! It was very crowded on the day.I went, but there were plenty of staff to make the experience perfect. The food is delicious. Every item was prepared just so. The avocado toast was especially wonderful because the chili flakes are set on the side, along with the salt and seeds. Baked goods are on point and the Kouign Maman is a work of art. 5 stars for my new favorite spot!"
