    Hands down the best customer service I’ve experienced. Her name is Eden, she greeted us with a bright, friendly smile and made us feel truly welcome. Her kindness and professionalism really stood out. Thank you so much

    Cute, smaller (hence the pun on "petite" maman) outpost of the lovely hip french themed coffee chain. The pastries will ruin your diet, and the coffee is both bright and tasty. Service has the most can-do attitude of any similar chain. Very helpful and friendly.

    It's really sad. I've been going there for years because I love the food there, and whenever I can, I buy through Too Good To Go. Today I went to pick up my order as usual, and the guy simply decided to close early, leaving me and other customers who had bought takeout without receiving our orders. He was still closing up, and even so, he didn't want to serve us something we had already purchased. It's simply a lack of respect for customers, and I don't think this is sustainable... Good luck with the terrible service.

    Please, this is the best Maman location in the city. First of all, the staff are UNBELIEVABLY KIND! Major s/o to Kevin and Fred who went above and beyond for us two days before Christmas! Every time we go in there, they’re so helpful and friendly and kind and we wanna wish them and their whole team a wonderful holiday season! Also, please don’t ever stop! 🩷🩷
