    I've been coming here for a decade and their quality has only improved. The cafe is now larger and…read morea little more modern but they still left a touch of the aviation theme that started their journey. There is now a Tesla Supercharger so navigate to that instead of the cafe so that your Tesla preconditions while you enjoy your morning. They no longer support their own app and have turned the keys over to Square to create an account to make it easier to pay and reorder. The ready times you get in the app are later than it's usually ready so I recommend giving them 10-20 minutes lead time. Here's my rating of the variety of foods and drinks I've tried. Undertow - 8 - Fun twist on a cortado as the half and half is cold and they add a splash of vanilla. The hot espresso is carefully floated on top of the milk so that when you drink you feel the cold "underflow" of vanilla milk. Cortado- 8 - Small but powerful sip of espresso. I prefer it with half and half and a touch of sugar over Journey's method but it is a tasty sip. Lavender Latte - -10 - the best version of a lavender latte you'll ever have. Cherry Blossom Latte - 9 - The cherry syrup is very forward but blends nicely into the latte which gives it light finish. The coffee does get a touch lost so add an extra shot. Citrus Cocoa Latte - 9 - The orange syrup is prevalent throughout the drink but the cocoa starts to stand up more the last half of the drink. I don't prefer chocolate drinks but this doesn't taste like a mocha at all. Very well done Journey!!! Veggie n Egg Breakfast Wrap - 7 - Light and flavorful but needs some pop from another ingredient. I recommend using the Tapatio hit sauce to elevate it above our 7 rating for those that want some pop of flavor and can handle spice. Breakfast Hand Pie - 6 - The pastry wasn't crispy but it did have some crispy seeds on it to save the texture, a bit gummy for my liking. The filling was also creamy with more cheese than needed (and I love cheese). Although good, I wouldn't get it again because the flavor of the filling fell flat. First Class Wrap - 10 - If you can handle spice, the chipotle sauce is amazing amidst the variety of ingredients. This is my go-to and everybody I introduce it to gets it as well. Every business partner I've introduced this right off the freeway coffee stop has loved and kept as their own. It's a no brainer if you're headed down I-80.

    Customer service is consistently lacking. On two separate occasions, I had experiences with two…read moredifferent young ladies that left much to be desired. On my first visit, I was overcharged for an item that was clearly listed at a lower price on the large menu displayed on the wall. When I brought the discrepancy to the employee's attention, she told me the owner would be upset if she changed the price rather than simply honoring the advertised price. That was disappointing. On another occasion, I asked an employee about the coffee options and was rudely told that they were closing soon, that they don't make coffee 30 minutes before closing, and that I could only order pastries. I understand arriving close to closing can be inconvenient, and I was only a few minutes away from closing. However, a little understanding and a friendly tone would have made a big difference. Her response came across as dismissive and unnecessarily rude. I genuinely want to support this business, but customer service is extremely important to me and plays a major role in whether I return. I believe additional customer-service training could make a significant difference in creating a more welcoming experience. The pastries are delicious, though, and I would love to continue supporting the business if the customer-service experience improves.

Croissant is flaky and the pork adobo is tender and tasty, perfect with the mixed greens. However, it's only available after 815am- worth waiting for the kitchen cook, though.

    Truly inventive savory macarons that stand out among all the other Yountville bakeries…read more My friend was raving about the elote macarons she'd had before, so she insisted we head over so I could try them, too. Madeleine's Macarons is right across the street from RH Yountville. The interior is clean and minimal. They also offer a variety of sandwiches and crepes, in addition to drinks, gelatos, and the large pastry case of macarons. Service was friendly, but could be slow because it's just 1 person manning the whole shop. As noted before, Madeleine's offers your standard macaron flavors, in addition to some fun sweet flavors like Watermelon Tajin, as well as savory flavors. I honestly don't know why more spots aren't offering these savory versions, because they are AMAZING. In addition to my friend buying a pack of 6 elote macarons, I tried the: strawberry balsamic, thyme & feta with hazelnuts, apple gorgonzola & almond, watermelon tajin, passionfruit, and orange creamsicle. With the exception of the apple gorgonzola, all the flavors were perfectly balanced and delicious. I especially enjoyed the watermelon tajin and the thyme & feta. The elote was also amazing, and had a slight tang. I would have loved more apple in the apple gorgonzola, but it still had a wonderful texture. Of note, however, is that the matcha latte I got was a bit underwhelming. I added the pistachio rose syrup, but could barely taste it. It can be hard to stand out in Yountville among all the other bakeries, but Madeleine's offers something truly unique.

    I've seen Madeline's Macarons driving through Yountville before and always been curious so I…read morefinally stopped by with a friend to try some macarons. They have a combination of standard flavors (think espresso, pistachio, chocolate) and unique sweet and savory options. It's a small storefront with two tables inside and some outdoor seating. The service was friendly and quick as well. We got 3 macarons to try for $10 - a lavender, watermelon tajin, and apple gorgonzola. Surprisingly the lavender was my least favorite despite us choosing it as a "safe" option - the filling was almost soapy in taste and felt slightly gritty/oily. The watermelon tajin had the flavor of a jolly rancher and also bubblegum and was very unique and interesting to try. The apple gorgonzola was likely my favorite, with the macarons have a sour apple taste and the filling being more creamy with buts of funk and umami from the gorgonzola cutting through. Overall, lots of unique fun flavors at Madeline's and I'm glad I gave it a try! I'm definitely impressed by how they were able to capture this wide variety of flavors in macaron form, and the macaron cookies themseslves are wonderful in texture.

The…read moremacarons were definitely the highlight--they were delicious, flavorful, and probably my favorite thing we ordered. I also ordered an iced coffee, and while the flavor itself was really good, I was a little disappointed to find quite a bit of coffee grounds/sediment at the bottom of my cup. Once I got toward the bottom, it made the coffee taste pretty grainy and unpleasant. I went back and asked if they could remake it, and the staff was kind enough to do so. Unfortunately, the second coffee still had a small amount of grounds at the bottom. It was much less than the first one, so I decided not to go back for a third time. I'm not sure if this was just an issue with the batch or the way the coffee was prepared that day, but it was a little disappointing, especially from a bakery with Bouchon's reputation. Aside from that, the coffee itself tasted good, the macarons were delicious, and I'm glad we stopped in. I would definitely return for the pastries and macarons--I just hope the coffee preparation is a little better next time.

Unfortunately, we had the displeasure of being helped by Trish. She was noticeably rude to my sister from the start. The irritation and outright contempt she displayed were unlike anything we've experienced at this location. She even spoke negatively about our order to the coworker making the drinks while we were standing just a few feet away, which was incredibly unprofessional. When we received the no-ice drinks, we understood that ordering without ice might mean the cup wouldn't be completely full. However, the amount of the drink we were given was unacceptable. While the drinks are delicious and worth to us, they are $8.00! Thankfully, when we requested a refund, it was handled by a different employee who was kind, courteous, and professional. I want to end by saying that my sister was polite and respectful throughout the entire interaction. The way she was treated was completely uncalled for, and we left feeling very disappointed. We have been visiting this location for many years and have never had an experience like this before.
