    Quiche Lorraine
    Kiki J.

    So stopped at La Madeleine for some breakfast and got the Quiche Lorraine. They changed the ham that was in it to little ham squares and raised the price. I don't mind if you raise the price but don't skimp on the ham. It makes the whole quiche taste different and not in the best way. It's like Little Rocks within the quiche. A lot of La Madeleine's food is like heat and serve and it's been that way since they turned the chain into more of a "fast-food" establishment rather than a cook-to-order restaurant. Best to get something that has to be prepared. Or a pastry

    Croque Major

    Tasty quick and nice atmosphere. I had the Croque Major with mixed greens salad, really good ham and cheese sandwich with Asiago malted on top. Vinaigrette on the greens was nice and light. Also enjoyed an Almond croissant which was delicious and the reason for 5 stars!! My partner loved his crepes

    The atmosphere of this lil place really makes you feel cozy and fancy. I've never been to France so i cant speak on the authenticity but it definitely has a warm and cozy vibe once you walk in, sit down, and start to have lunch by yourself of with a friend. I've been here twice and I enjoyed it both times. Its definitely a good spot to meet with a friend, read a book, or take your laptop to do some homework or hang out for a while. I mostly have enjoyed the atmosphere and food options. They have delicious Quiches and their potato soup is very good. Definitely check out their lattes and sweet options at the end. They have adorable tiny tarts which are also amazing. The service is just okay, but it seems most of the front staff is young so its understandable.

    French Onion Soup

    Overall, I think la Madeleine is a restaurant you can skip if you're scoping out a new restaurant to try. I have eaten there several times but only because my mother's workplace gives out gift cards here as prizes. If my family didn't have gift cards here, we wouldn't eat here. I'll start with the food. Pictured below is what we ate on this most recent trip. The French onion soup was alright, but I personally thought it was much too salty. The chicken riviera sandwich was passable but quite bland. The pesto pasta with roasted shrimp was, again, passable but also quite bland. The sea salt baguette was good and was the best part of the meal. We took a fruit tart to-go, and that was good. In the past, I have tried the chocolate tart, lemon tart, and the sacher torte parfait, all of which were sweet and pleasant. Next, the service. The employees were pleasant, but the way the restaurant is set up is confusing. You order before seating yourself. It wasn't really clear, and it's also confusing if/when you tip. I don't think you're missing out if you don't eat here. I think the best things they have to offer are the pastries/bakery items at the front.

    I visited on Labor Day and it was short staffed so the wait on food was a longer by a few minutes. Nothing major though. This location has a pretty good staff and cooks as well so I like coming here. I ordered the Balsamic salmon with rice and broccoli which also comes with a salted baguette. As an appetizer we ordered the quiche Florentine which was soft and creamy. On the way out of the door I had to order me a yogurt and cherry pastry. Must try. This thing is the devil in flaky pastry heaven lol

    Quite and quaint breakfast/brunch place for some simple French cuisine. Lots of choices for freshly made desserts they make in their in house bakery! As much I wanted to grab something from their choices of desserts, we had to hold back because we were so full and kind of cutting back a little in the on the sweets...

    1. Came to the bakery and asked if the butter croissants contained eggs. The woman working replied, "No I don't think so" and I said is there anyone that knows for certain or has a list of ingredients because we have an egg allergy. I was told No, and that there was nobody that knew the ingredients since the croissants came frozen. I asked her to check the box list of ingredients, only to find out that they do actually contain eggs. Had I not been persistent, we could have had an allergic reaction in the restaurant. The person with egg allergy was not able to eat ANYTHING HERE because there is nothing being done for allergy safety/sanitization to avoid cross contamination either. AVOID THIS PLACE IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES. 2. The "nutella croissant" had no Nutella inside, so it's basically the same as the butter croissant - frozen as well. 3. My sandwich came out incorrect, and I had asked the short woman that looks like an angry troll (if you've been here, you know who) if she could have it fixed please. She argued and told me my sandwich looked normal; it didn't have any of right ingredients per the menu. She stormed off to the counter after rolling her eyes at me. She didn't know I followed her because I thought she would spit in my food. Sure enough she was talking s*** to her coworker who actually stopped her when she noticed my presence! They told me to wait for my sandwich at my seat multiple times, but I wanted to stay on watch and make sure no foul play was involved since they were so pressed for me to walk away. Let me add - there's 3 different ordering counters and 2 registers for paying, all with different lines. If you want a sandwich and bakery item for example, you must wait in 2 separate lines and pay 2 separate times! Complete chaos! Nobody bothers greeting customers or explaining the process either Overall scam since nothing is authentic. Disgusting service for overpriced, frozen garbage. We will never be back here.

    Came here to get fruit tarts and cake for my mom for Mother's Day as I do every year. This year I got my girlfriend's mom some fruit tarts as well. I made two separate orders, each one containing half a dozen individual fruit tarts. By the time I got home and opened them we saw that they were lemon tarts. I took them back and the guy there said it was because they didn't have fruit tarts at the time I got my order and could only replace my 6 of the 12 that I ordered. I understand they were really busy with it being Mother's Day and with Covid-19, but why would you not just tell me you were out of fruit tarts and give me a refund. I don't have an issue with the two hour wait time or the fact that the items were unavailable. The issue is that they gave me something I did not order and didn't tell me and after I drove back to address the issue, the guy said he would only give me 6 of the 12 I paid for even though I saw 8 more in the window. If I went somewhere and ordered a hamburger and they were out, they wouldn't just give me a chicken sandwich without telling me.

    The quiche crust was not flaky or tasty. The filling was unmemorable. Overpriced. The watermelon salad was good , but small portion.

    It's not as clean as it used to be. The food was mediocre and the service was subpar. Definitely not the LaMadeline that I'm used to.

It's in an old part of Arlington, the building itself fits right in with the area. That's not a bad thing, but don't expect some clean cut, smooth concreted parking lot with fancy equipment inside. They do well for being in an older part of town. Conchas, we enjoyed them! My favorite was whatever this strawberry roll cake was, soft & fluffy. They have a lot of options, I only wish they would label the pastries. There were some empanadas but we couldn't tell what was what & didn't want to be one of those people that cracked one open, because trust me, someone did on one of the trays. They have a refrigerated section, we'll probably try the flan next time too. The cakes are gorgeous, I can't comment on the taste... no need to get one for just the two of us. Prices are very good, yes, they take cash only. I saw someone said they take Zelle but I didn't look. I'm not mad about it though, it's a small business... they'd get charged for credit card usage. I don't know if everyone understands that & if cash only works for them & they continue to do well... I'll keep bringing cash! Very sweet employees! Go here, grab a snack to enjoy. Also, there's not really a place where you can sit & chat for hours with friends but give them a try for some yummy treats!

There was a bit of a line but it went reasonably quickly. Upon entry, you grab a tray and tongs, then make your way down the line of self-serve enclosed glass cases with shelves of fresh good. We chose a savory breakfast sandwich, an Almond Croissant and another sweet pastry. In line, the offered to heat our sandwich which we allowed. Then we ordered coffees, paid and sat down. A few minutes later, we walked back up to collect our coffees. The breakfast sandwich was tasty, though the ham and cheese in the center of the sandwich was untouched by the heating process. Next time, we'll ask for a longer heating cycle. The pastries were good. Not as good as made that morning in Paris, but better than most places we've been in the US. We also took some dessert pastries home for later that same night. My wife's was sort of ho-hum but mine was fabulous. I had what I guess would be a cro-nut?? Sort of like a doughnut that was made in layers of pastry, then cut out with a donut cutter. It had a filling in the center and had a sugary coating. SO GOOD! We'll be back to Paris Baguette and we'll try other items and for sure, we'll ask for our heated items to be heated a bit longer.
