Maman is a nice sit down place to catch up with friends, meet with coworkers or have a moment to yourself. The European/Parisienne vibe makes it a great coffee shop to get away from the tiring "financial district" atmosphere. Apart from the decor, I found the coffee and food to be mediocre with quite a high price tag. This is one of those places where you come to admire the decor than for the food.
