Maman, the New York-based French bakery and café that earned a national profile partly through Oprah Winfrey's endorsement of its signature cookie, plans to open its first Palm Beach County location at Sundy Village, the historic mixed-use complex at Atlantic Avenue and Swinton Avenue in Delray Beach. Per the operator's Instagram, the opening is targeted for late 2026.
The announcement marks a meaningful southward move for a brand that has built its footprint primarily in Northeast markets. The Delray outpost will carry Maman's all-day program — espresso, fresh-baked pastries, breakfast plates, sandwiches, salads — alongside what the operator describes as South-of-France-inspired dishes. A product line and collaborative elements from Martha Stewart are also expected at the Sundy Village location, according to the Instagram post. No further specifics were offered on the scope of Stewart's involvement or the format of the space.
The Sundy House property has anchored the western end of Atlantic Avenue for more than a century, operating as a historic inn and event venue before the surrounding Sundy Village complex developed into its current form — a mix of hospitality, retail, and dining set within a shaded, garden-style campus. Landing a nationally recognized café brand at that address is a meaningful signal for a block that has historically been quieter than Atlantic's higher-traffic eastern corridor.
Maman's design approach — whitewashed brick, vintage tile, layered domestic interiors drawn from French provincial sources — translates readily to preserved and historic properties. That aesthetic alignment with Sundy Village's existing character is likely part of the site's appeal. The operator has not released square footage or design specifics for the Delray space.
