New French Bakery Coming to Wisconsin Ave.

Mamam, a French bakery with locations in NYC, is opening a location in Georgetown on Wisconsin Ave. The bakery will be opening at 1353 Wisconsin Ave.

The bakery also features a cafe specializing in Provençal cuisine. And, according to Washingtonian, it leans heavily into the Instagram chic decor intended to attract patrons as much for the selfie backdrop as for its salad Niçoise. Like that other NYC import, Levain, Mamam’s cookies are supposedly pretty good. So there’s that at least.

Maman will take both storefronts just north of Compass Coffee, which are currently occupied by Shop Made DC and Duly Noted. GM has been informed that both plan to move to other locations within Georgetown, however where exactly has yet to be announced.

With this addition, along with Boulangerie Christophe, L.A. Burdick and Petite Souer, this stretch of Wisconsin is beginning to develop a rather fetching speciality in tasty European delights. Quite the change from the cheap suit days.
