    I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS PLACE!!!!!!! If you are remotely interested in a good time, you HAVE to visit the Maman in Rockefeller. We visited NYC this fall and stayed in the area - we went every morning for our coffee and I cannot possibly rave more about the experience and kindness shown to us. The best food, coffee, and treats in NYC hands down. Also- the merch is also to die for. Robin greeted us each morning with the sweetest smile and giggles. I wish I could’ve brought her home with me back to Ireland! Forever dreaming of her and this place ❤️

Loved the rustic yet elegant vibe...it's a whole experience! We returned the next morning for coffees! Very sweet counter person helped us both times. (Robyn?) Will definitely stop again next time in the city!

    Great French style cafe with wonderful pastries. I tried the espresso and a croissant. The espresso tasted great and the pastry was perfect. I was not able to sit down because it was so busy in a Saturday but I didn’t mind because I was just popping in to grab something to go.

    This place is goated. I astral project every time I take a bite of the chocolate chip cookie. I am transported straight to Montpellier when I indulge in a pain au chocolat. Their breakfast is a delight beyond words. Everyone that works here is great and treats me better than members of my own immediate family. I could cry. Thank you Maman of Rockefeller Center, thank you.

    I first came across this wonderful Coffee Shop, 3 years ago, whilst they had seating outside. I vowed if i ever returned to New York. Then i would track this place down. Fortunately i have just returned for a week. This gave me the opportunity to return to Maman, near the Rockafeller. I visited six of my seven days. For a Latte. and sometimes a Quiche Lorraine Slice. My two Sons accompanied me each time. I was never disappointed. The Coffee was and is excellent, and the Quiche superb. What makes this Cafe so special though. is the wonderful Staff employed there. Maman appears extremely busy. each time i visit. However the Staff always have a welcoming smile. The Cafe is clean , well presented, and i simply can't thank you all enough for my wonderful visits once again. Well Done everyone at Maman. I miss you and my Latte. Will add some photos once i get organised and unpacked.
