    Front entrance
    Nicky V.

    They have a nice variety of options, which makes it great for a small group. The service was slow and the staff seemed confused as to what needed to be prepared and what was already prepared, which made the wait time long. The food was average. The potatoes in my vegetable soup walked a fine line between raw and al dente. The restaurant was extremely tidy and clean, as usual. The pastry case was emaculate.

    Key Lime Cheesecake

    Can't give them a 5 just yet cause I have not tried their food but their desserts..... AHHHHHH! Absolutely delectable. They REALLY hit the spot. I personally ordered the key lime cheesecake and it probably one of the best key lime-flavoured things I've ever tried because other places have a tendency to over-sweeten them. This was just right. I've had take out from here a couple years ago and I remember enjoying it, but haven't had their actual savoury food in a while. Hopefully I head back one day and I'll be sure to update what my experience was like then! In the meantime, buy their desserts. They are amazing!

    I come here for the delicious potato soup, it's creamy and smooth. I like the strawberry romanoff I always get extra sauce. Come give 'em a try they also have chocolate torte cake so if your a chocoholic you gotta try it.

    This was not my first time here but the experience this time was horrible! I stopped by to get some croissants but took forever for the staff to come and help with the order. After got the order I said thank you and got nothing back, not even one smile.

    Supposed to be avocado toast, but nothing like the menu photo, or expectations of a smashed avocado on toast.
    Richard E.

    I'm sorry to report that this visit has ruined our faith in the quality of food provided to an order. My wife order avocado toast and the picture shows our result. We were shocked. I suggested we send it back, and my wife was just disgusted with the small single piece of $4.89 toast with a small semblance of avocado on it. She did not want me to cause a scene. I went myself and considered talking to someone, but could not identify anyone in charge, so we let it go. Why even put us in this position? Why even send something like this out of the kitchen? Where's the quality, excellence. It's as if they ran out of avocado. If so come and tell us. My food, breakfast croissant sandwich was good. Unfortunately my wife's order was so bad, we will not be back for the foreseeable future.

    Cranberry Cranberry & Pecan Wild Field Salad, paid for full size
    Emily C.

    I struggled with choosing a rating because I normally eat here in person and everything is fine, but placed a to go order for the first time today and it didn't go very well. Of the 5 items I ordered, all had something wrong with them compared to what I usually receive when eating at the restaurant. 1. French Dip Sandwich was missing au jus and there was way too much mayo. 2. Potato soup had bacon but no cheese (arguably the best part of potato soup). 3. Green beans almondine portion was tiny and had no almonds. 4. Cranberry pecan salad portion (full size) was so small it would barely even pass as a $3 side salad. 5. Sea salt baguette was significantly over cooked. That being said, the staff tonight was very friendly as usual. I will continue to come on my lunch break but no longer consider this as an option for takeout.

    The French Breakfast
    Keith H.

    La Madeleine has a lot to recommend it. They are a good place to eat, having a selection of salads, soups, sandwiches, and more robust entrees. They are also a French bakery, offering breads, desserts, tarts, croissants, and other delicious delicacies. They are of known quality and have a nice French country interior to their restaurants. There are some specialties that people always come back for, like the quiches and tomato-basil soup. There are light choices, like the three salad plate. Then there are hearty pasta and roasted dishes for serious suppers. They are also a great place to eat breakfast, offering omelets and my favorite French Breakfast Plate. Some people are confused about the ordering process, but it is actually really easy. First grab a menu from the rack and decide on something, then go to the cafeteria-style serving line and place your order. Items that are ready will be served to you there, you will receive a numbered wooden spoon for items that require preparation-these will be brought out to your table. Pay at the end of the line, and go get your drink and seat yourself. Make sure to visit the bread-bar by the drinks to get sliced goodness and jams to nibble on or to accent your meal. Soon, you will have your prepared items brought to your table and traded for the numbered wooden spoon. It is pretty easy once you get the hang of it! There is a separate area for to-go meals and bakery items. This is for picking up that tart to take home! This doesn't have a serving-line so it can be distinguished from the eat-in ordering area.

    Country Potato Soupe

    Paid extra to get a "bowl" of soup. I expect that to be enough for one person. This tiny portion wouldn't feed a child.

    My friend and I came here a few weeks ago for our post workout meal/ pre dinner. We were greeted when we walked in and immediately helped by the manager who took our orders. We both ordered a salad sampler with Caesar salads (I added chicken to mine), strawberries romanoff, tomato basil pesto pasta salad, tomato basil soup, and French onion soup. Everything tasted amazing as usual and the portions were very generous. The customer service was exceptional as there was also a staff member walking around willing to assist anyone who needed something. No complaints here, just happy tummies!

    Turkey and Brie (presentation was nice) (food wasn't hot)
    Cee T.

    It was ok... itching spectacular. I will have to say - I was a bit disappointed. I'm assuming it's just a great place to pop in, and pop out of, BUT ... quality and customer service is always a PRIORITY. Will I go back, probably not because I kept trying to make myself like it, but you know the saying... Don't force it, if it doesn't fit. . Customer service (register lady) seems to have had or was having a bad day. She was just aggravated with me asking if I could have olive oil and no grease. When I did get my feed, it wasn't hot... it was lupe warm (which the back kit hen should be responsible)... I don't care for cold, nor hard food. I was disappointed. My son ate 1/2 of it because .... well... He's a college student so they eat whatever right. Ha. The other 1-2 was trashed. . I guess enter at your own risk. Some may have great experiences and some may not - I don't care to take that chance anymore.

    It's Simple as the name suggests…read more Nothing fancy or elaborate about this place. It's a small restaurant with a small open kitchen and a small dining room where you stand in line to place your order, get a number to put on your table, and servers bring the food to your table when it's ready. So, if you're looking for a large upscale, elegant restaurant with elaborate food presentations, this is not the place for you. But if you're looking for a simple, quick and delicious meal, Simple Joe Café is for you. The menu consists of a wide variety of breakfast favorites, but the menu is not intimidating and easy to read and order from. Simple enough. When my family and I arrived, the small dining room was packed with a few open tables and about six other customers in line waiting to place their order. On Saturday and Sunday, you cannot sit at the open tables or hold the tables until you have placed your order and given a tent number. At that point, the servers will help you find a table to accommodate your party. The employees do a very good job of clearing and turning over the tables to make sure everyone is seated and able to enjoy their meal in a timely manner. I am not a fan of breakfast food and normally don't eat breakfast, so I only had coffee while my family enjoyed their meal, so the food quality part of this review is based on what they described as they were eating. They each ordered Joe's Number One Breakfast Combos which came with two eggs, choice of meat and pancakes and they shared an order of hashbrown and a side of grits. The food came out quickly. They stated everything was fresh, prepared and cooked as requested, the food tasted very good and enjoyed every bite. Of course, the coffee was hot, and fresh and the service was fast and friendly. The relaxed ambience and decor add to the unique character of the restaurant. Date of Visit: Saturday 05-16-26 Simple Joe Café | 3057 Government St, Baton Rouge, LA

Instead, I was trying to meet a friend for lunch and he was so late that we couldn't get in where were trying to go. I saw the sign and off we went to Simple Joe Cafe. Simple, it is. Awesome food, it also is. This place is not fancy nor is it meant to be. This is a solidly Americana type menu and ordering at the counter, serving your own coffee, and picking your own table kind of place. AKA - the kind of place I love. I have been here a few times now and only had breakfast. Hint: they serve it all day. The two meat omelet is a great choice and has been my go-to. The other day some friends got burgers and a club sandwich and those looked great too. This will definitely be in the rotation for lunch.

They take pride in their service and understand what it takes to make a customer happy. The food in which they serve inside this smallest cafeteria type setup is pretty simple. It's a mix of cafe food mixed with Cajun flair, so think gumbo, jambalaya, muffalettas, and simple things like fruit, breakfast foods. I also appreciate that as Vietnamese folks but they've incorporated this into their menu. They have all kinds of various total suits for on Fridays they make pho. How glorious. Another thing that should be noted is that they actually were able to snag a lot of king cake. Not just your average king cake but from one of the best in all of Louisiana and perhaps the south: Dong Phuong (#1). They were such a lifesaver during the pandemic and allowed folks to order multiple boxes as long as they came for them. ______________ (#1) Dong Phuong: https://www.yelp.com/biz/dong-phuong-new-orleans-3
