Mouth pain...unknown cause...random...generally happens when I have allergies. My known allergies are cedar, cats, dogs with catlike hair and house dust. I did not eat much on Tuesday as my mouth was pretty raw. For dinner, I had la Madeleine's tomato soup. In general, I do not like tomato soup, however, I love la Madeleine's tomato soup. Pretty much, that is all I had all day. The soup was delicious and so soothing to my throat and mouth. Got the soup to go...my server was rather quick. It was later in the evening so very few customers...pretty quiet atmosphere. read more

la Madeleine - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Horrible service. I wasn't greeted by the lady behind the counter. I said it was my first time here and that I was going to look over the pastry case. She walked away. When she returned I told her what I wanted. She said nothing in return. She didn't tell me what I owed. I had to see on the small pin pad. She literally didn't say a single word to me. Super awkward. Very disrespectful. I will not come back. Can't believe anyone would actually dine here. The receipt gives the name Penny T read more

I come here from time to time with coworkers to have lunch. I love their tomato bisque soup, is so delicious! Staff here knows me already so it makes it easier to order and everyone is so nice anyways. Anywhere you sit is nice, feels very laid back yet intimate. I also like their French dip sandwich is one of my favorites. Not to mention their tasty pastries accompanied by a nice French roast cup of coffee. read more

la Madeleine - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

This was my first time visiting a La Madeleine and it was on a wonderful day. The sun shining made for the inside of the restaurant to have a soft and warm atmosphere especially thanks to the fun woody architecture and the active fireplace. The employees were kind and helpful and the food tasted pretty good. The bathrooms were also clean. I wished there was a little more flavor to the pumpkin French toast as it didn't stand out over a normal French toast but overall it was good. I also wished that they provided more syrup, silverware, and napkins with our dishes. I understand that it was self serve in that way, but the syrup specifically was limited. Overall good experience and I will probably be back. read more

We've been here for breakfast a couple of times, but this was our first time trying a savory lunch! We opted for the beef Stroganoff crepe and the Croque Madame with a sunny-side-up egg. We also ordered a drip coffee and a cappuccino. Our first impression? The portion sizes were large--very hearty and filling! The beef Stroganoff crepe was really nice. It had the same braised beef and mushrooms both on top and folded inside. The savoriness paired well with the soft, warm crepe, and I especially enjoyed the crispy edges. The sour cream sauce added another layer of flavor, though I think I could have done without it to keep the dish feeling lighter. The Croque Madame was also a big portion! It consisted of two slices of bread with cheese and ham in between, more cheese on top, and a sunny-side-up egg. We hadn't expected the sandwich to be so large--it probably would have been enough for us to share. That said, the generous amount of ham and cheese made it a bit too salty for my taste. I noticed the next day that we had been charged for an extra coffee ($3.49), but unfortunately, it was too late to get a refund. When I returned, the staff explained that order numbers reset daily, making it difficult to track, but they were very friendly and offered me a makeup item worth about $4-$5. I chose the potato galette, which I had been eyeing for a while, and it turned out to be a great choice! The galette was crispy on the outside, with a strong onion and seasoning fragrance in every bite. Given the size of the entrées, it would have been too much food for a meal unless I had only ordered a salad. On its own, the galette seems like a great morning item, but it also would have been too much for me had I ordered it along with a pastry for breakfast. I'm extremely happy I got to try it! read more

My wife and I came in on a Sunday for brunch, probably around 10:30/11 AM. There wasn't a wait and the restaurant wasn't too busy so we were able to order and find a table to sit at. Ambiance was nice as most of these restaurants are, nothing out of the ordinary. Always love the French teachings over the speakers in the restrooms, super cool! To eat, I ordered the Breakfast Croissant Sandwich: scrambled eggs with bacon and cheddar on a butter croissant with a side of fresh fruit! In addition to the sandwich we ordered a Dark Cherry and Yogurt Danish. The sandwich was much smaller than I thought it would be--like tiny. I was pretty disappointed, but still ate it. I'd recommend ordering two if you're hungry. The bread was soft and flaky and the small amount of egg and bacon inside it was good too. The plus was definitely the Danish! It was delicious!! Hadn't been here in forever, and probably won't be back for another long while, but if you're in the area, why not? read more

I'm still a very happy patron of this location. My meals are always beautiful and at the right temperature. Vegetables are fresh. Bakery items are suitably soft or creamy or crunchy. The restaurant is typically clean, and of course, there is plenty of parking available on both sides of the restaurant. Ordering from the app is also consistently successful. I recommend this location. read more

We ordered a couple of their holiday plates for Thanksgiving. We got both the ham and turkey options which were delicious. For sides, we tried the mashed potatoes, broccoli, stuffing and green beans. They all weren't that bad, however, I really didn't care for their stuffing. Something about the taste and the apples I didn't like. Both plates came with a small cup of cranberry sauce and mushroom sauce. I absolutely love the taste of their mushroom sauce so we got an extra cup of it. Overall, the plates were a cheap option over the holidays for a nice, festive meal. read more

Please allow me to preface my review by saying that we love coming here often to allow us to eat outside with our small dog. He loves it too! We really enjoy the breakfasts, sandwiches, salads, entrees and pastries. Lately, the pesto pasta dish I order often has changed. It's very bland now, and just not as good as the previous recipe. I mentioned it to the manager at the location we go to, and he told me that several customers have complained since the change. I enjoy the croissant over the breadstick, but PLEASE go back to the original pesto recipe! read more

la Madeleine - Nick! - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

I love La Madeleine - I love ALL things French. But this location is stealing joy rather than giving it. The bakery items are quite lovely - but ordering one is a very unpleasant experience - and really this is the WORST aspect of this location. I have been coming every week on a certain day for a standing meeting and I am routinely ignored when wanting to place an order, and when I am finally recognized, I am asked (in a gruff and abrupt tone of voice) - "What do you want??" - it is never pleasant. The woman serving in this area of the restaurant is especially rude and makes us feel like we are bothering her by standing there wanting to give the restaurant our business. Today she stood as far away from me as possible while I placed my order and then yelled, "WHAT?" when she couldn't hear me. The very first week I was there I ordered a "pain au chocolat" with French pronunciation- it's what its label reads and I enjoyed the opportunity to speak just a tiny bit of French - the woman looked and sounded extremely annoyed when she said back to me in a sarcastic tone, "A Chocolate Croissant?" - like I was quite stupid for ordering it as it is labeled. She clearly doesn't enjoy working with customers or in a specifically "French" bistro. If I didn't have a standing meeting in this location, I would be very reluctant to keep coming here. I have been tolerating this for many weeks - since August, but today's treatment just finally snapped the last straw of patience I have had with this place, and thus I am writing a poor review. I am not one to leave poor reviews - I was taught if you don't have anything kind to say, don't say anything at all - but I hope this might help bring about some change. While the other staff are not as acerbic as the bakery server, they are still very slow to acknowledge a customer - I often have to stand at the counter for much longer than is necessary, especially when the restaurant is mostly empty, before someone notices I am there and will take my order. The overall look here is a lovely French country one, but it is quite dirty. It especially needs a good dusting and it's very common for the tables to have crumbs and smudges still on them. It is a shame that such a potentially lovely place offers such terrible customer service and I do hope someone who has some influence will make some improvements soon. At the very least, some kindness from the servers would go a very long way to helping us overlook the other issues with this location. read more

If you are looking for a quick breakfast place with decent food this is your spot. Especially, when other restaurants have over an hour wait for brunch. Food: 4/5: Food is pretty good. I love getting their tomato basil soup. I also ordered their chicken salad croissant because I saw a picture of it on the menu. Sadly it didn't come with the salad that was pictured. Decent croissant sandwich. Service: 4/5 Staff was friendly and we didn't wait long to get our food. read more

By default, my go to lunch / dinner has always been Honest Mary's every time I come to Trader Joes for a grocery run but I wanted to try something different today and found la Madeleine just a few minutes away. This place has so much character! I love the layout of the restaurant and really appreciate the uniforms that the staff wears. Everything feels really authentic I feel like I've walked into a portal and ended up in Europe somewhere. On to the food: Chicken la Madeleine - balsamic-marinated chicken topped with creamy wild mushroom sauce with side of broccoli and rice. The chicken breast tastes surprising soft and pairs really well with the wild mushroom sauce! The mushroom sauce has a strong flavor but not so strong that it's overpowering the meal. The rice could be done better as it is kind of mushy. The broccoli has no seasoning at all but my tip is to dip that broccoli into the mushroom sauce or completely submerge it into the Cream of Mushroom soup! Then it just tastes amazing! Cream of Mushroom - This soup has great flavors and is one of the best I've tried. Take that side of broccoli and dip in the soup for a great creamy vegetable experience! Quiche Florentine (spinach) - This quiche here is the highlight of the meal. The inside of the quiche is super fluffy and seasoned very well. The sides have the right crisp and I think this was baked to perfection. I've had some bad experiences with quiches in Austin area because it's always so salty but this one here is just right! Classic Strawberry Napoleon - This dessert is very flaky and I recommend just grabbing it by hand with the paper wrapped around it and bite it rather than use any utensils. I think it tastes just ok. It's not too sweet but I removed the top layer of white sugary topping. The staff forgot some items while I was eating but she was very apologetic about it and all is forgiven. I'll definitely come back to try other items on the menu. read more

Today on: the worst crêpe I've ever had. At least I didn't have to pay for it myself. I was invited for a breakfast meeting to La Madeleine, and I excitedly joined not only for meeting content, but for what I anticipated to be a great breakfast. The guy at the counter suggested that the best crêpe was the strawberry Nutella crêpe. If that's the best crêpe they have, I will never be getting crêpes at La Madeleine, ever, ever, again. A crêpe is a thin, delicious pancake filled with... I don't know, it can be whatever, but it should be all proportioned in moderation. There shouldn't be one overwhelming flavor that not only blocks out the delicateness of the crêpe, but also every other portion of the meal. I'm not sure what word they used to describe the goo that goes in the strawberry Nutella crêpe, but it is not strawberries, nor is it Nutella , and there is so much of it that it feels sort of like you're eating a Boston cream doughnut. Both the consistency of the goo, and the amount that resided within the eggy layers of crêpe. I don't think that there was an entire strawberry. Not one entire strawberry, within the entire dish. All it was was crêpe and goo and some chocolate swirls on top. In fact, the more I think about it, the more Boston cream pie donuty it was. I feel almost certain that this has to be a chef issue, and not a "la Madeline" issue however, it was pretty gross, and I'll be holding off my future crêpe endeavors for a crêpe specific local. Lol. No pictures because it was a work meeting. read more

This is probably my last time. Staff is mediocre as not friendly. This time food was also mediocre . No soup spoons available.

Food here is so delicious. 4 stars just because they sub my potato soup for tomato soup without asking me.

Got the turkey cheddar croissant, some baked goods, a croque monsieur and chicken salad croissant. The portions were generous, taste was good, everything was fresh, and croissants were flaky and buttery. Really delicious. Definite must again. read more

We haven't been to La Madeleine in a while and decided to come for brunch after church. The service was great - the staff are helpful and extremely friendly I feel like that's the case in all La Madeleine's. I usually order a chicken salad from here, but went for the avocado toast with an over easy egg and a side fruit. It was plenty and OK flavor-wise. The yolk on my egg was over-cooked but it the bite with the avocado toast was a delight! I had grabbed an orange juice (which was just a Simply brand bottle) and wish I didn't because the fruit helped balance everything out and I could've been just fine with just water. Also you're not breaking the bank. My husband and I shared a pastry I think it was a strawberry yogurt danish and wooooow it was so good! My husband ordered the breakfast croissant and it was super small! (So heads up there) It's not a busy place, family friendly, large and small groups are welcome! Sure it's a "chain" but I'd come again! read more

I stopped by to try their croissant, and honestly it was just... mid. Nothing special for the price. For what I paid here, I could've gone to Burger King, gotten a better portion, and still had money left over. Not terrible, but definitely not worth the price tag. read more

French food for the win! Quiche, croissant, avocado toast, eggs, ham and bacon... they've got all the goods to make breakfast both filling and exciting! Don't forget the fresh brewed coffee (French, American or decaf options). Multiple sweetener options available as well as half-n-half. This is a hybrid bakery/restaurant style place, where you can order your items from what's on display (quiches, croissants, baked goods) or from the made to order dishes with eggs cooked to your preference, freshly toasted breads, and crispy strips of bacon served up hot. Good for a quick bite on the go, or a fun place to catch breakfast with a group. read more

I wanted to share my delightful experience at this lovely French restaurant and bakery I stumbled upon while leaving the mall. As a sucker for French pastries, I couldn't resist! I ordered a loaf of their freshly baked bread accompanied by homemade jam and a classic crème brûlée. I brought them back to our hotel, and the moment I toasted a piece of the bread, the aroma filled the room--such anticipation! As soon as the bread was toasted just right, I slathered some butter on it, and it did not disappoint. I ended up devouring almost half a loaf because it was that good! But then I remembered I had dessert waiting for me. The crème brûlée was simply delicious and the perfect ending to my meal. I just had to share this with you! If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend checking it out! read more

Got food catered from here for a work lunch and we thought it was alright. We got chicken with mushroom gravy, tomato basil soup, mashed potatoes, and baguettes. The chicken was pretty dry but the gravy helped that a bit. The tomato soup was good but a little on the sour side which I don't personally prefer. The mashed potatoes were pretty yummy and weren't dry at all!! The baguette was ok but it was also dry read more

The place with the best food, ambience, and service. It is self-serve though! Cafe sampler is what I started with: it is perfect for your first time or when it gets too hard for you to pick just one :p My absolute favorite is Chicken Riviera sandwich with Tomato Basil Soup!!! I cannot stress enough on the perfection this combo is!!! Chicken La Madeleine is another of my go-to, the chicken is cooked perfectly with delicious seasoning and the mushroom sauce is heavenly. Not to mention, their desserts...YUMMM I always go in thinking I will try something new this time but the cravings for the taste I already know are impossible to resist. read more

Just ordered here through the Yelp app. Completely missed on my order. My Full was a half, my request for horseradish wasn't full filled. My wife's request for Tomato soup ended up being pasta salad.

This is top notch management and we appreciate them accepting their mistake. We will continue to dine here at this location! read more

Needed an emergency infusion of good coffee after the euphemistically titled "Medium Roast" that was available with our hotels free breaksfast. The Hop Queen is originally from New Orleans, and like her IPA tastes, she expects coffee to have some body and character. la Madeleine always delivers a good consistent product.

Oo la la! C'est magnifique! I love this place for a number of reasons. It's charming inside, especially on a winter day or a dreary rainy day. They have a couple of gas fireplaces, and wooden floors and tables. It's funny, it reminds me of being at Disney Epcot or Universal in the Harry Potter section. Seriously, the theme is so well put together you feel transported to another time. Alas, I met a friend there for lunch on a typical, hot, sunny Texas day, so it didn't have the maximum impact. It's not just the atmosphere I love. The service has always been very good as has the food quality, and the prices are reasonable. My friend had the sampler- which he enjoyed. It was quiche, salad, and soup, I believe. I had tomato bisque and grilled cheese, which is a comfort meal for me when I'm blue. It did the trick and was delicious as usual. Give La Madeleine a try-you won't be disappointed! Let me know what you think! à bientôt ! read more

Where else can you drink excellent bottomless coffee with cream, get bottomless French bread with 2 kinds of jams, hear a French couple argue about saucisson at the next table, and pay $2.99? In all seriousness, just for that reason I like La Madeleine created by a fellow French man in Houston. Bravo Monsieur ! In addition, the tomato basil soup and a few other staple dishes never disappoint. Is it really French? Non monsieur, but it remains a good choice! read more

This place has really, really gone downhill, grossly understaffed. Phoned in an order and waited over 30 minutes because they had no chicken friands ready (while everything else sat in the bag and got cold). Last time, we didn't realize items were missing from our order until we got home. read more
