“This review is long overdue and I've been slacking. I cannot gush about this place enough! I heard about maman opening up before it was actually opened. Stoked about it because it's originally a NYC spot. And we all know NYC has some of the best eats!!!

Went during first week after it opened in Feb 2024 because coincidentally I was in Wynwood for something else. Had to stop in to snag some coffee and their Dark Chocolate Orange Cubed Croissant. Absolute heaven. The cubed croissant was perfectly layered and fun to eat. The filling was just the right hint of sweetness without being overly indulgent.

The ambiance is everything. I walked in and was immediately transported to a cute French cafe. The decor is heavenly. They thought of every little detail from the space, furniture, lighting, dishware, glassware, wallpaper and presentation on every level. It's super charming. I loved it so much I had planned a girls brunch the following month in March. We couldn't wait!

Brunch day came and my girlfriends fell in love with the space just as much as I did. They don't take reservations, first come first serve. So we arrived on a Sat morning as soon as they opened and were seated right away. Had a bit of everything. We had a variety of cocktails, because brunch. Sangria Tropicale was yummy. The Everything Croissant & Salmon Sandwich and Eggs Ratatouille is so damn good. My girls enjoyed the Croque maman but it was too much for me, too much cheese and way too rich.

We noticed our server wasn't dressed like the rest of the staff so we asked him about it. Turns out our server was also the owner, Ben. That says everything about the owner that they are willing to jump out there and help their team and do the work. Ben was awesome! He was incredibly kind and so very humble. He told us that he moved to South Florida from NYC and planned on opening several other maman locations. I love everything about maman so I'm so happy for their success! We had a lovely brunch experience and I would highly recommend. We even got a selfie with Ben. Such a cool guy! Thanks for the hospitality Ben. Sorry for this super late review. Lol.

I was at maman this past weekend after the South Florida Seafood Festival. I told hubby since we were in the area, we had to stop by maman which was right around the corner. Literally made it there 10 minutes before closing and Yann was kind enough to accommodate my order for coffee and pastries, whatever was left. Haha. We got a Honey Lavender Latte, Espresso d'Orange, Kouign maman and Banana Walnut Bread. The Kouign maman is KING!!! I am obsessed with peeling the layers like a sideways fruit roll up. The flavor and caramelization was absolute perfection. Dare I say it's even better than Dominque Ansel's Kouign Amann which is the first time I ever had this pastry. OH EM GEEEEE!!! Don't skip on this. Next time I will stock up. Lol. Banana Walnut Bread was just ok, quite dry and not very moist as I had hoped.

Bonus: maman uses the InKind app. I got a $10 off $20 discount using my app. SCORE!!!

Everything I've had at maman:

* Dark Chocolate Orange Cubed Croissant
* Eggs Ratatouille
* Croque maman
* Everything Croissant & Salmon Sandwich
* Sangria Tropicale
* Mom-osa

“This is the best boba place I’ve tried so far, I would say top 5.

The flavors are just right not too sweet or too sour, the combination of fruits sweetness mixes well with the tea.

You can add as much boba as you want, I’m looking forward to their milk teas.
We ordered one lychee fruit tea with 2 scoops of boba
And a passion fruit tea.
Delicious!! 10/10“

“We stopped by for Nutella crepes after trying one at Apropo Crepes and throwing it in the garbage in disappointment. This one was great… taste of crepes, real Nutella inside and very generous filling… overall score 10 of 10. Thank you for fulfilling our craving for real Europian crepes :)“

“I just moved back into Coconut Grove and this is going to be my daily stop. Not only is the place cozy and beautiful,
filled with fantastic wines, gourmet foods, original local artwork and even cute clothes, but the food was delicious. I had a melted mozzarella and tomato sandwich on ciabatta bread and it was divine. I also had a homemade flan that would make my Cuban grandmother, proud.

I’ll be back soon!“

“Café Branca is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a warm, inviting atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The attention to detail in the décor, the cleanliness, and the overall ambiance speaks volumes about the pride they take in their space.

The food is exceptional—beautifully prepared, thoughtfully presented, and full of flavor. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick coffee or settling down for a full meal, everything on the menu feels crafted with care. Their coffee is rich and perfectly balanced, and the pastries taste fresh and homemade. You can tell quality ingredients are a priority here.

Café Branca has quickly become one of my favorite spots—perfect for casual meetings, getting work done, or simply relaxing with a cup of coffee. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a standout café experience.“

“Best. Sandwiches. In. Kendall. These guys have been here since I can remember! They are a west kendall institution and are a great hometown business to support! I've been coming for 25 years to order a #13 with a cafecito! You should too and bring a friend because the portions are as real as the food being prepared fresh in front of you.“

“We came here for a wedding rehearsal dinner and had the most wonderful experience. The staff went above and beyond—helping take photos, checking in frequently to make sure the bride and groom were happy, and making the whole evening feel special. The Cuban food was absolutely delicious—authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We couldn’t have asked for better service or a more welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend for any special occasion or just a great meal!“

“We swung by this morning and the door traffic wasn’t that bad at all, typical 10 minute wait for our food, everything was fresh and warm. The French toast is served AS advertised!! Decided to stay inside for a while and eat and a young lady named Antionette made sure all our needs were taken care of. I would certainly recommend them if you are looking for a at home like meal. Hard part now is driving home after eating that much food.“

However, service was “interesting”:
