If NYC is lacking anything it is not coffee shops. You seriously cannot walk a block without passing one, two or ten shops, each of them offering something special. My latest journey through SOHO led me to a little gem called maman which may have snuck its way to the top of my list. The ambiance was a breath of fresh air, I felt like I was in a greenhouse and at the same time I felt like I was browsing through an antique shop. It was perfect! I ordered a matcha latte and a smoked salmon croissant both of which were delicious! If you’re looking for a quaint cafe with great food, a homey feel and a great space to get work done then head on over to maman.
