NYC Cafe Darling Maman Snaps Up Palmer's Old Spot at Hillside Village
"Maman, the New York-born French cafe known for its blue-and-white toile accents and cult-favorite cookies, is headed to Hillside Village in East Dallas. Signs are already up at 6465 Mockingbird Ln. #316, and crews are working inside the space that most recently housed Palmer's Hot Chicken. The brand is targeting an early-fall opening, with this shop set to focus on daytime coffee, pastries, and lunch items."
"The Hillside Village outpost will spotlight the chain's pastry case, featuring croissants, kouign maman, Bundt cakes, and its Nutty Chocolate Chip Cookies, along with espresso drinks and tea, CultureMap reports. The menu is also expected to include heartier breakfast and lunch plates such as quiche, a breakfast bowl, a chicken Caesar wrap, and a Mediterranean steak sandwich, and the brand is known for attention-grabbing lattes topped with creative flourishes."
"Hillside Village's directory lists a mix of national and local tenants, and Maman will join names such as Sprouts, SusieCakes, and Sephora, according to the center's directory. Local reporting has tracked the chain's quick Dallas expansion: AOL reported Maman's Texas debut at The Plaza at Preston Center in November 2025, and planned locations in Casa Linda Plaza and Frisco have been covered"
Renovations are underway at 6465 Mockingbird Ln. #316 in Hillside Village, with signage visible and crews working inside the former Palmer's Hot Chicken space. The shop will operate during daylight hours and is targeting an early-fall opening. The menu will emphasize pastries such as croissants, kouign maman, Bundt cakes, and Nutty Chocolate Chip Cookies, alongside espresso, tea, and heartier breakfast and lunch plates like quiche, a breakfast bowl, a chicken Caesar wrap, and a Mediterranean steak sandwich. Maman began in Soho in 2014 and has expanded into a national lifestyle brand that sells cookbooks, branded goods, and seasonal collaborations while favoring French provincial design.
