"It was a small little dream that we had to open one cute, quaint, cozy coffee shop and café," owner Elisa Marshall told CNBC. AdvertisementIt was "a lot of sacrifice," Sormonte told CNBC, and "a lot of sweat and tears and love." Marshall told CNBC that they chose the name with the intent to create "the feeling of warmth and home." They struck a deal in 2020 with a private equity firm for "between $10 million and $20 million," CNBC reported. They also do catering and rent their café spaces for events — which together account for about 20% of Maman's yearly revenue, Marshall told CNBC.

Elisa Marshall and Benjamin Sormonte didn't want to be overly ambitious when launching a business in New York in 2014. Some items feature "a fun twist," Marshall says: The salted chocolate cookie sandwich with white chocolate ganache resembles a fancier, French version of an Oreo. Sormonte and Marshall didn't know how much launching a cafe in New York would cost, and ended up spending $250,000. The praise brought in waves of customers, and Maman brought in roughly $2 million in revenue during its first full year. And it was great," Marshall says, adding: "Next thing you know, we're the hottest cookie in New York."

Prima dată a uitat cum s-au întâlnit, treptat a uitat momentele cheie ale relației și în cele din urmă a uitat că s-au căsătorit. Când a fost întrebată ce iubește cel mai mult la soțul ei, ea a spus: „Felul în care mă iubește.
