  The server we had was amazing, very professional. The person who took our order at the counter, however, got our order wrong and instead of fixing it, offered for us to pay for another order and she would rush it. One of the coffee cups we received still had lipstick on it (which was not ours). I would not come here again.

  The coffee shop itself is beautiful — I love the décor and the menu looks great. The food and coffee are average, but what really let the experience down was the service. The staff felt disengaged and unwelcoming; the lady behind the counter didn’t even look at me when handing over my order and barely said a word. I’ve been twice and experienced the same level of service both times. On my first visit, my coffee was also made incorrectly with no apology or effort to make things right. Such a shame, because the space has so much potential, but the lack of service really takes away from it.

  walking into the place was absolutely stunning and didn’t wait too long for seating but the service was absolutely terrible. the server we had rolled her eyes and huffed because i decided to change sparkling water to tap water…? and then we had waited 20 minutes to order because we had to call one of the servers over, the entire time we had food the servers did not check on us once.. and actually even avoided us so we wouldn’t call on them. i would over take out instead of dining in unfortunately. over the food was great but terrible customer service!

  had no idea there was a maman here! I came in for breakfast on the way to the train and there was a line of about 10 people in front of me, so pretty busy. It’s a nice big airy space with plenty of tables and a bathroom in the back. Only two people were working and It seemed like they could have used another set of hands. The quiche was delicious and pretty big. I liked how they heated it up and it got caramelized on the top. It did take 20 minutes though. They have so many pastry’s! I been to maman in the city before and the location I went to was smaller and barely had 10% of what this location has. Everything was so fresh. The everything croissant melted in my mouth. It was crispy and flakey and then soft and very rich and buttery. The pistachio chocolate croissant was also just so light and easy to eat, taking one bite it all just melted in my mouth. I will say that the pistachio wasn’t as strong as I would have liked it. Next time I want to try the pumpkin croissant thing which looked liked a tower of croissant with merengue on top. I got the matcha pumpkin latter iced and it tasted watered down and too sweet. But I did like the touch of pumpkin to it, I never thought matcha and pumpkin would go together. I wish also that they had the iced drinks in the mason jar like they have pictures of on the menu. Other than some small details this place is excellent for a satisfying breakfast

  Jersey City's coffee scene, already a vibrant mosaic of cultures, just got a delightful new piece: Café Maman. My first visit left a fantastic impression! The food was excellent—the "Make Your Omelette," Banana Bread, and Daily Quiche were all delicious. The coffee, too, was spot-on. And don't forget the atmosphere! The café’s French countryside design is truly charming.
