maman

Loved this cute, cozy cafe and bakery. This is located in the First Canadian Place on the 2nd floor. The dining area has 2 communal tables available for seating. The atmosphere is so cute and I love feeling like I am in Paris! The decor and ambience is so lovely. There is a nice patio area for customers. Service was really friendly. The latte was good, the avocado toast (not pictured here) was amazing and the breakfast sandwich on the ham and cheddar scone was really tasty. I ordered a lime and cilantro sugar cookie to go and it was perfection. I absolutely loved this spot and cannot wait to come back.

It's located on the first floor of First Canadian Place. It's a charming little spot, but the loaves didn't quite meet our expectations. Coffee was okay. We spotted a mouse scurrying around and sneaking into the kitchen. 😖

I went to maman for a bite to eat and absolutely fell in love. The vibe is so cute and aesthetically pleasing, and the space is also very clean. The staff were all friendly, and the girl who served me was super kind. My almond croissant was delicious, and I definitely plan on returning to try their seasonal beverages (which sound incredible btw - pecan pie latte, yes please!) I love the idea of family style seating, and the designs they use on their cups and bags are beautiful. I’ve already recommend maman to a few friends and I hope to visit again very soon!

It's a wonderful spot to quickly grab your favorite coffee along with a delightful pastry or loaf. Situated in a strategic location, it’s particularly convenient for corporate professionals looking for a quick caffeine fix. Although the indoor seating capacity is limited, there are plenty of options to sit outside in the adjacent food court or on the charming patio, providing a relaxed atmosphere for a brief respite from work. The café offers an impressive variety of coffee, catering to all tastes and preferences. Whether you prefer a classic espresso or a more elaborate specialty drink, you’re sure to find something to your liking. The price points are reasonable and on par with other well-known global brands, ensuring that you get good value for your money. One standout menu item is the lavender blueberry loaf, which is simply to die for. Its unique flavor is perfectly complemented by a lavender hot chocolate, making for a delightful and indulgent treat. Additionally, the service is excellent, with friendly and efficient staff who ensure that your visit is pleasant and hassle-free. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick takeaway or taking a moment to enjoy your coffee on the patio, the combination of delicious offerings, convenient location, and great service makes this café a fantastic choice.

Recently had a private event at Maman for a shower and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue. Food was spectacular, as always - my guests were not surprised to find out why this was my favourite cafe in Toronto. Franck and his team were absolutely amazing. Their service truly created the best experience for us in every way possible. Thank you again!

This beautiful French cafe is a hidden gem in First Canadian Place on the upper level. Counter service only. Seating is available at long communal tables or outside the cafe in the food court. I adore the rustic decor and the cozy atmosphere. I would go more often but the cafe has limited hours (it is closed evenings and on weekends). The sandwiches were delicious and flavourful! I loved the truffle croque maman and the grilled cheese sandwich. I also loved the almond croissant (filled with frangipane), the smore's cookie, the lavender hot chocolate, and the nutty chocolate chip cookie. The blueberry lavender loaf cake and the farro salad were good.

Great value compared to some other places you can get lattes from! Tried the matcha latte which was pretty good! Note that the default milk is almond milk – I usually order matcha lattes with oat milk, so almond was a nice change (though I still prefer oat).

I ordered a cake from Maman, and was so happy with the final product. The cake was beautiful, it was delicious, and a lot of people were asking me where I ordered from. The team at Maman were also terrific! They were extremely quick to respond to inquiries, and Franck and Chris worked with me to create the perfect cake for the event. Thank you again!!
