Maison Welles
Maison Welles is a cultural home in Greenwich Village, built on the philosophy of intentional living. More than a café, champagne lounge, and retail space, it is a place where craftsmanship, collaboration, and community meet. Every detail—from the coffee in your cup to the art on our walls—reflects a belief that true luxury is found in care, connection, and the joy of lingering. At Maison Welles, we welcome creators, thinkers, and guests alike to share in a space designed for conversation, creativity, and celebration.
Meet the founder
-Ana McNeill
Maison Welles is, at its heart, a love letter—to my husband, who believed in my vision before I could fully articulate it. The Welles name itself carries both legacy and hope—a reflection of our family heritage and the values we continue to build upon. It is a reflection of my restless, curious mind in pursuit of meaning and dedication to my life’s work. Rooted in the fundamentals of family, Maison Welles was created with the hope of building a community that feels like home—where intention, creativity, and connection come together like family gathered around a table.
