Welcome To Cafe Maud

This Upper East Side gem was brought to life through a full-scale renovation by Cuan Corp. From structural upgrades to warm, inviting finishes, every detail was crafted to reflect Café Maud’s signature charm — timeless, elevated, and unmistakably New York.

The Team Behind the Charm

New York City’s newest Café Maud, nestled on 1640 2nd Avenue at the corner of 85th Street, brings the spirit of downtown uptown.

Brought to life by the visionary team behind Jackdaw, Odd Sister, and Dear Maud — Paul McDaid, Ronan Carter, Jack Watson, and Aaron Ashe — alongside seasoned hospitality partner Curt Huegel, Café Maud will mean more than just a restaurant.

This thoughtfully curated space where European café culture meets New York sophistication. From lemon ricotta pancakes in the morning to wood-fired pizza by night, every detail reflects the founders’ passion for timeless hospitality.

Downtown Favorites & Uptown Fixtures

In a city full of brunch staples and cocktail go-tos, Café Maud carved out a cult following in the East Village — and now, they’ve brought that same downtown charm to the Upper East Side. The new location, now open at 1640 2nd Avenue, is already turning heads with its signature open-air feel, all-day menu, and thoughtfully designed interior.
