Maman Coffee Bakery Kitchen

What is Maman Coffee Bakery Kitchen? Located on the upper mezzanine of First Canadian Place at 100 King Street West (accessible via 77 Adelaide Street West) in the Financial District, Maman brings the rustic warmth of Southern France into Toronto’s commercial centre. Co-founded by Toronto native Elisa Marshall and Benjamin Sormonte after launching their celebrated original Manhattan location, the cafe features distressed whitewashed wooden tables, exposed brick accents, hanging greenery, and signature blue-and-white toile ceramics. It serves as an elegant sanctuary for morning espresso, executive breakfast meetings, and midday pastries.

Maman Coffee Bakery Kitchen Menu & What to Order Pastries here are legendary, spearheaded by the world-famous Nutty Chocolate Chip Cookie—a thick, molten confection packed with macadamias, walnuts, and dark chocolate chunks, finished with flaky sea salt. The savoury kitchen produces sophisticated midday options such as the Truffle Croque Maman, which layers French ham, creamy béchamel, and melted Gruyère with a delicate brush of truffle oil on sourdough bread. Complement your meal with a twice-baked almond croissant or a slice of seasonal quiche du jour, alongside a specialty Honey Lavender Latte brewed with locally roasted espresso beans.

Know Before You Go Maman operates exclusively on weekdays to cater to downtown commuters, closing on weekends. The morning rush peaks from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and lunchtime queues form rapidly around noon; ordering ahead through mobile pickup apps saves valuable minutes. Direct indoor connections via the underground PATH network make the venue easily accessible from King and St. Andrew subway stations without stepping outdoors.
