Maman

Located at the corner of Hudson and Canal, this space is marked by a library wall, an iconic blue door, and window seats near the waterfront. The savory menu features a generously topped avocado toast loaded with salmon and avocado, alongside options like Papa’s Breakfast Bowl. Drinks are a highlight, particularly the lavender hot chocolate, which staff have been known to remake fresh rather than simply reheating it for to-go orders. However, the pastries can be hit-or-miss; while the butter croissants hit the mark, other baked goods like the dry Kouign-amann or the surprisingly sweet scallion scones can disappoint.
