Maman, the popular French-inspired cafe that originated in New York City, is expanding its footprint in Texas with a new location coming to Dallas' East Village neighborhood. Construction is scheduled to begin next month on a 2,382-square-foot storefront at 2752 North Haskell Avenue, with an estimated completion date by mid-November 2026.

Why it matters

Maman's arrival in Dallas is the latest sign of the city's growing culinary scene and its increasing appeal to East Coast-based restaurant brands looking to expand their presence in Texas. The cafe's mix of coffee, pastries, soups, salads, and sandwiches is expected to be a hit with local residents and office workers in the rapidly developing East Village area.

The details

According to construction filings, Maman will be moving into a renovated retail space in the East Village development. Work is slated to begin on May 1 and wrap up by November 17, though those dates are estimates and the actual opening timeline may shift. Once complete, the new Dallas location will mark Maman's over 50th storefront nationwide since the brand was founded in New York City's Soho neighborhood in 2014.
