    Lovely space. Very well oiled machine - service was quick and efficient, despite the restaurant being busy. Food and coffee was tasty, but not out of this world. Great spot for a quick breakfast :) Excited to come back to dine in and try the full menu!

    I went to Maman in the Mosaic District in Vienna and absolutely loved it. I ordered the steak sandwich, which was excellent — so fresh and full of flavor. The pomegranate cocktail was beyond delicious, one of the best I’ve had. The atmosphere was amazing, cozy, and incredibly cute. I definitely recommend this place and can’t wait to go back!

    I decided to try Maman after seeing it all over insta as well as the huge line that always forms outside it and I have a few comments. Good: The cafe is gorgeous and the pastries look phenomenal. I tried their Kougin Amann and it was one of the best I’ve had, super moist with a great cinnamon flavor and a satisfying crunch on top. It was good cold and warm. The service was so very good, they were very kind and made pleasant conversation. Not so great: There is NO waiting area. After ordering my things I had to wait next to the pick up shelf which is in the servers prep area. I constantly had to keep moving out of the way and I felt terrible about it. The cafe itself is lacking space- the tables were very close together and there wasn’t a lot of room to move around. You could wait outside but then you wouldn’t hear your order being called. It’s a situation that I think needs some more thought. The food bloggers had hyped up the drinks here so I got the pumpkin spiced matcha latte. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. There was no matcha flavor and just tasted like milk. The pumpkin spice was weak and an acrid aftertaste. I might try this place again when I’m in the area but there are so many other cafes around the area that make much better drinks.

    Gavidy Ravidy at it again. The interior creates a welcoming environment, with its floral wallpaper and vines streaming along the wall and pillar. I went on a busy day but managed to find a seat, probably a max of 25 people can be seated inside, but there is also outside seating. Prices are very reasonable, especially for this area. I enjoyed the beignet and pistachio croissant, but was a little underwhelmed with the tahini latte. I appreciated the sesame seeds sprinkled on top of the drink, added a nice layer of flavor. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here, and would be back to try a different drink.

    First time visiting and immediately loved the design of the cafe from the plates, to the use of mixed materials on the wall, and the extremely friendly staff. I tried the cookies and their tahini honeycomb latte. The cookie was okay but the coffee was quite terrible. I could tell that the baristas were just churning out drinks because the coffee grounds weren’t distributed well before being tamped and the milk was excessively over-steamed. It resulted in a sludge-like latte. I would only stop by again if I was in the area.
