New York City's Beloved Café Maman Arrives at The Commodore in Arlington

The Arrival of Maman at The Commodore

Arlington, Virginia, is about to get a taste of New York City's charm as the popular café and bakery, Maman, announces its grand opening at The Commodore in the Courthouse neighborhood. Managed by Greystar, a prominent global player in real estate development, this addition promises to infuse the community with a delightful culinary experience while enhancing the already vibrant atmosphere of the area.

A Blend of Culinary Tradition and Warmth

Maman, whose name translates to 'mother' in French, has swiftly become a favorite among locals in New York since it opened its first location in SoHo back in 2014. Co-founders Benjamin Sormonte and Elisa Marshall have successfully captured the essence of their childhood memories with recipes inspired by family traditions. With over 30 locations spanning cities like Washington D.C., Toronto, and South Florida, Maman has established itself as a haven for those seeking comforting French-inspired dishes in an inviting setting.

John Clarkson, Managing Director of Development at Greystar, expressed excitement about Maman's entrance into the neighborhood, highlighting the promise that Courthouse has always held. “The success of The Commodore has exceeded our expectations, and the addition of Maman further validates that the promise has become reality,” he said.

Courthouse Transformed

The Commodore, a modern residential hub featuring various floor plans—including studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments—has already reached stabilization. Its ground floor retail space is filled with amenities such as YogaSix, Playabowls, Rumble Boxing, and now Maman, creating a vibrant social scene for residents and visitors alike.

Maman's distinctive ambiance and menu are set to complement the community’s outdoor lounge and recreational areas, where residents can enjoy fire pits, grills, and an art studio, forging a closer community bond. Maman’s presence at The Commodore underscores the evolving nature of the Courthouse area, making it an increasingly attractive option for both new residents and visitors.

Elisa Marshall, co-founder of Maman, expressed her enthusiasm for joining The Commodore, stating, “We are thrilled to bring Maman to the heart of the Courthouse neighborhood.” The café aims to provide Arlington with an experience rooted in quality and comfort, adhering to the vision of The Commodore as a hub for a vibrant community.

Amenities and Accessibility

The Commodore offers luxury living with apartments featuring chef-inspired kitchens, premium appliances, keyless entries, and unique micro-apartments equipped with Ori Cloud Beds. The community is designed to enhance the living experience for its residents, with amenities such as a pool, fitness center, dining room, co-working spaces, and a pet spa.

Located conveniently near the Court House Metro station, residents will find accessing Washington D.C., Ballston, Tysons Corner, and both Reagan National and Dulles International airports seamless. Local shops, dining options, and nightlife along Clarendon and Wilson Boulevards are within arm's reach, further enhancing the community's appeal.
