I’ve been to Maman in Princeton a few times now, and it never disappoints.

Great place. The workers were very friendly. And all the food looks delicious. I just had the cappuccino today but will get more next time.
Food is great and service is super friendly! Avia especially was very kind. For the summer specials, the banana pudding iced matcha latte summer special was a perfect sweet treat, while the Martha Stewart's passionfruit green tea Palmer was refreshing and not too sweet.
Felt like I stepped into a little Paris café ☕️✨ The vibes, the pastries, the coffee… 10/10 Loved the atmosphere at maman. Super cozy and aesthetic, perfect for photos, coffee dates, or studying. The pastries were really good and the drinks were fun and unique
The best cafe ambience in Princeton by far. Their drinks and treats are nice, but loved their indoor aesthetic. I loved their hazelnut latte and crème brûlée lemon curd croissant. This is one of my favorite places to hang out at by campus.
Came here for brunch. This consistently bustling business had a very pleasant atmosphere. It was accommodating to all ages. The service was top notch. Establishment is kept very clean. I ordered an everything croissant, a Caesar wrap and maman’s almond croissant latte. This is my second visit here, never disappointed.
