la Madeleine

I came here this morning while trying to find somewhere to get a sweet bite to eat. I have tried French items in the past so I was pretty curious. At first I thought they had a drive thru, but I think that would be impossible where the building is located. Regardless, I went inside and I was able to park in a quick spot in front of the location, to get a takeout item. Inside the building was well lit, not too bright but not too dark. There was an array of different breads and sweets, some inside a cold case, and the breads were spread out safely kept behind a clear glass. I chose a small lemon tart, and a creme brulee with caramel flavoring, as well as a large snickerdoodle cookie. It totaled a little over $10. I liked the topping on the tart, it was lightly sweet and helped the flavors of the lemon not be too harsh. It almost tasted like a faintly sweetened marshmallow. The center of the tart, was a little too much. Kind of sour and off putting, yet quite sweet at the same time. It wasn't my favorite, but it did curb my craving. As far as the creme brulee, the top was nicely broiled a bit, but when I got to the bottom of the tart it went from an eggy custard to more of a watery custard. The flavor was okay, caramel with a hint of cinnamon. And of course the egg flavor. The price to portion ratio was decent. The tiny tart was $3, and the creme brulee was $5.99. overall my experience was all right. I will give them four stars for the service however, but it was not crazy delicious. Just something fast and sweet to curb my cravings. They also had drinks close by like sparkling water, bottled water, bottled Orange juice, and a few sodas. I might come back to try something chocolate. They have a sacher cake slice, but I'm not a big fan of raspberry and chocolate together, so that may not be something up my alley.

This was my first time here and MAN! The customer service was AMAZING. The menu was overwhelming me but Sanai was very patient with me and helped me figure out what to get. She was so kind and very knowledgeable in everything that's on the menu (you can really tell when someone genuinely likes their job). This was a great first experience and I will definitely be back. Thank you, Sanai!

A great location for delicious comfort food The staff was amazing and they really take wonderful care of you. Nadine is the loveliest manager I’ve ever met! Amani was also super helpful! Can’t wait to come back!

Fun French pastries and food. Nice outdoor seating area. The staff is great. Mike's bon jour when I walked in got stuck in my head all day.

Great food and economical compared to the other places around here. Super friendly staff! Greg L. The manager does a great job here. My husband and I have come here for many years with one of our favorite breakfast & lunch restaurants. Fresh pastries and the best tomato basil soup around! Can’t say enough about La Madeleine!

I love love loved my food! So yummy! And it came with the best service from Corley and Emily they were so sweet and patient with me. Definitely will be coming back!

La Mad is always a favorite! I enjoyed the Croque Monsieur and the tarte au citron—both were absolutely delicious. The service was excellent, and the staff were warm and welcoming. I look forward to returning.
