Strawberry Napoleon
Andrew D.

The service here is always a cut above. Yes it's a chain, but in my mind I group it as a better fast casual chain, with in some respects even better quality ingredients and seating. Their coffees are great, especially the French Roast and Mochas. Their baguette is likely the most underrated in Metro Atlanta. I enjoy dining on their French Dip and Roasted Turkey sandwiches as well as their Holiday Feast whenever it's available in November and December. They staff are all seasoned and must have been there for many years. This is a true rarity in the industry. I enjoy the great care that they offer their customers. I'm here frequently.

Me and some friends wanted a quick bite on this place was super packed for lunch. The ambience felt like a cute little French café. The service was good, but you can absolutely see that they're trying their best and they were slammed. The food was pretty decent. It's nothing that you would crave and go back again for. It's not a bad little spot to go eat. I think I would enjoy it more if I just grabbed a coffee and a book and a table outside.

As soon as you come in, the staff is very helpful and friendly. Food was pretty decent and it's a cute vibe inside.

Sad day for Madeline. They got rid of their sea salt baguette and instead replaced with a croissant I asked about it and they said that, indeed, the sea salt baguette has been discontinued. La Madeline is dead to me

Balsamic Glazed Salmon

After passing by la Madeleine soooo many times we finally decided to stop by for a late lunch. The food is OKAY. It taste good, but it's just not fresh. Service is okay as well. Not much interaction with staff other than ordering food in the counter, then they deliver to your table but service could be better. We tried: Chicken Cordon Bleu Baked Pasta: Gruyere, white cheddar and Parmesan cheese sauce over penne, chicken and diced ham. The better one out of the two entrees we tried, at least served hot. Balsamic Glazed Salmon: Balsamic-glazed salmon with rice Provençal and steamed broccoli. Tasted okay, rice was mushy and unfortunately served cold. Strawberry Nutella Crêpe: Strawberries and cream topped with drizzled Nutella, shaved chocolate and whipped cream. Definitely the best thing we had here! The restaurant itself looks really nice and clean, and theres plenty of parking! ESPAÑOL Después de pasar por La Madeleine tantas veces, finalmente decidimos pasar a almorzar aquí. La comida es mas o menos. Tiene buen sabor, pero no es fresca. El servicio también es mas o menos. No hay mucha interacción con el personal, aparte de pedir comida en el mostrador y que luego te la traigan a la mesa, pero el servicio podría ser mejor. Probamos: Pasta al horno con pollo y cordon bleu: salsa de queso gruyere, cheddar blanco y parmesano sobre penne, pollo y jamón en cubitos. El mejor de los dos platos principales que probamos, al menos se sirve caliente. Salmón glaseado con balsámico: salmón glaseado con balsámico con arroz provenzal y brócoli al vapor. El sabor estaba bien, el arroz estaba blando y, lamentablemente, estaba super frío. Crêpe de Nutella y fresas: fresas y crema cubiertas con Nutella rociada, chocolate rallado y crema batida. Definitivamente lo mejor que comimos aquí! El restaurante en sí parece muy bonito y limpio, y hay mucho espacio para estacionar!

Managers at La Madeleine's Bakery Mall of GA having a business meeting right next to me and would not stop talking so I could enjoy my lunch

I absolutely love La Madeleine's Mall of GA. The food is delicious and the place spotless. The staff is so friendly. I would have given a 5 star review except I could not believe the managers came to a table beside me going over restauarant business. I hit the roof so to speak and ask the food delivery girl to take my receipt of $32 to the manager and tell him I thought it was improper for him to be sitting next to me while I am trying to eat lunch with my son and could not even have a conversation for this guy talking out loud about business. The big guy in the video did get up and come over and apologize. They left and moved to the private room! Why did this happen today? What were they thinking.

I've driven past La Madeleine and it's always caught my attention so this morning I decided to check it out, The food here was good! It's very basic nothing too fancy! I give it a 3 not because it wasn't good just bc I most likely will not come back. They gave me my salad at the register and my food came out about 20 mins after The ambiance is nice in here it's very French

Absolutely love this cafe! Their Ham and cheese croissant is so good! Their lattes and hot beverage drinks are absolutely delicious. The food is always fresh and hot, made quickly, and they the staff are nice. They have their own parking and inside seating. I have tried a little of everything from their menu and have not been disappointed yet.

Terrible cooking today. Their highly rated French toast came looking like it was made by a child. Really heavy on the eggs, soggy, and not tasteful. Will NOT be ordering from here again.

Coconut Cream Cake
Ashley A.

Not bad, but is it truly a French restaurant, no. It's basically the Panera of French cuisine, but I'm okay with it. The croque monsieur was in need of more ham and cheese, the flavor was there but the contents were scarce. The coconut cream cake was delicious and the salad had way too much dressing. Ordered the French dip to go and they forgot the au jus, which made it a very dry ordeal. The service was fast and their workers are really friendly though.

Stopped by here for a quick breakfast with friends before catching our flight home. Breakfasts run about $14 per person.. well with coffee. I enjoyed the layout of ordering your food at a counter and then having it brought out to you once ready. This way you don't have to additionally wait for a waiter to take your order in the first place. I ordered a palmier, which are commonly known to us as elephant ears and was handed it at the counter along with empty coffee cups to fill ourselves as a separate station. That elephant ear was light and flaky, sweet and delicious. Speaking of those four things, so was the croissant that came with your meal. Coffee was decent considering the specialty coffee machine was out of order...I could have gone for a latte. I ordered the Country French Breakfast - Two eggs cooked-to-order (I got scrambled), Potato Galette, bacon or sausage & a butter croissant. Actually I ordered two of these, one for my husband as well. One was supposed to have bacon, the other sausage. When they both came out with sausage, it was no bother and we just kept it. As another reviewer mentioned, you could tell the scrambled eggs were scooped out of a previously cooked container, not made-to-order as it said they would be. I don't know what the hell was in that potato galette, but it was absolutely delicious. All in all, this was a great spot for breakfast and the perfect send off from our trip down south.

It has a relatively low rating but it's wayyyyy better than that for breakfast. In fact, the food is really good. Then again, I just get The American Breakfast, which for me is two scrambled eggs extremely well done, bacon, a croissant (French accent here), and something else but I don't remember what it is--despite being here twice. Yes, I brave the Georgia cold (no jacket/never a jacket) from a local hotel. I go through three parking lots, jump over a bush on a downhill slope, cross the street, then order American food from French people. It's quite an experience. I know I get a cookie to eat after but that's just a reward for my adventurous nature. Toast! That's what it is. Toast! Good toast! The reason for the 4 is two instances where the waiter-person (not sure if actually a waiter) wasn't friendly. However, everyone else who works here is super friendly--they even smile! So, maybe it wasn't the service. I think maybe it was that the eggs were super well done first time (a good thing) and slightly wet the second time (not good). Overall, recommended.

It's a nice place
Dana S.

The food is good. Really good. Downside? They didn't give us menus when we walked in. And there was a line. On a Sunday. Expected I'm sure. But they should've had somebody collecting the menus that people took to read, once they had their food ordered, so they could be placed back for others to see. It really held up the line when people didn't know what they wanted, like me. LOL. I ended up getting the French toast that was made out a cinnamon rolls. Super super sweet. But super super good. I also wish that they had a notice on the door or some thing that said they were out of specialty coffees like cappuccinos and macchiato's, because the machine was broken. That was one of the big reasons we came here, so I settled to have to go without coffee because I didn't feel like having American style. All in all it was a good experience. Again, super busy, but the staff was very helpful and nice.

Chicken la Madeleine with a large cafe latte. Healthy brunch option. The broccoli was bland

Tasty food Healthy and delicious?

The food is good and simple. This is not a 5 star restaurant but it gets the job done. About as healthy as any other place. Not fast food, the food is not fresh but frozen. Just like all corporate resturants.

They are next to the Ramyun Gallery and near an H-Mart shopping center. --Ambience-- White, minimal, relaxing space for a coffee shop. The rear of the shop has a projection showing an anime/tv show when I was there. Wood and white, minimal decor. Great place to work and hang out. --Service/Staff-- Early Saturday morning was managed by two women who were very attentive and quick with the drinks. I didn't even get a chance to explore the menu, so I went with my go-to drink. I thought about changing or trying another drink/latte, but she quickly rang me up. Not a bad thing, especially on a busy day. No complaints on the service. --Products/Service-- Cortado, what can I say. You can't go wrong, and it was good, nothing special. I kinda wished I tried some of their other unique drinks/latte. --Capacity-- Plenty of open spaces and tables. I would say the cafe can hold 20 people in capacity. I saw a lot of people taking their orders to-go. --Overall-- I will definitely be back to try some of their other drinks. I like the vibe in the cafe. My personal take, I wish there was more greenery in the cafe, but I kinda dig the cinder block holding up the fridge and table at the side. Beautiful cafe.

The cashier was really friendly and the food came out quick. I probably should have gotten a drink, but I got the Everything Bagel with Basil Tomato. I wanted a savory snack, but I got a somewhat sweet meal. The basil tomato cream tasted like there was sugar in it so that threw me off plus the everything bagel did not really taste like an everything bagel. I just have to remember that Korean cafes tend to be on the sweeter side. If that is your vibe, then you should come here! Minimalistic and cute space and vibes.

It was hot, hearty, and filling--you can taste the beef, not just tomato, so they incorporated it into the sauce really well. Still glad they gave pickled radish on the side, but it's not needed to cut the heaviness like it is for the pasta because the side salad was refreshing enough. The drinks here are pretty standard for Duluth, so if you're here, might as well, but there isn't a drink here I would drive the distance for. They tend to be a bit sweeter than I prefer. My thoughts from my first review about the rest of the menu mostly remain unchanged. I still think the bingsu is good to share, though there are better places for it than here. If Arte is closer, it's a great choice for getting food and dessert.

While it as delicious i think charging $20 bucks for ice is a little ridiculous. I get the toppings and a scope of real ice cream is added but those are not that expensive lol.

Well, hate to be frank, but our Souffle Pancake was just very disappointing. While the pancake was nice and fluffy, the toppings and presentation wasn't even close to being as good as they used to be. I felt this was new management, with a whole, new style of doing desserts maybe? In any case, we did think the pancake tasted good...but it was just lacking in the creamy topping, as only the top layer had this creamy base. The lower 2 pancakes had no cream on it...and tasted quite bland. Even the strawberry sauce was minimal...so minimal, I went up to ask for more. Also, the decorative toppings, including the strawberry, were just BLAHHH. If you come here expecting the Strawberry Souffle Pancake of the past, you'll be disappointed. So nope...just not pretty enough for Instagramming. Made me wonder if the rest of the desserts have gone down as well?? For drinks, my husband had Cappuccino, and I had this Oohlong Tea. Not pictured, but the presentation was just passable...and the taste was just OK. If I recall, their drinks used to be presented beautifully as well as their desserts...but from the look of things, that may no longer be true. Guess I may give this place at least another try. Who knows? Maybe it was just an off night?? Hopefully I can upgrade the review on my next v visit...should the dessert and the drink look and taste better. Fingers crossed??
