Food was great as well as the service. My husband just wish the portions were a little bigger.

My wife's credit and debit cards were stolen while having breakfast this morning at the Madeleine across the Mall of Georgia. They were taken out from her wallet , that was inside her purse. Apparently it happened to another costumer yesterday. Minutes later they were fraudulently used at Walmart and Lowe's. Watch your back!!! Manager said it had happened yesterday too and that "they couldn't do anything". He didn't look very concerned. That's not okay, knowing that it has been happening lately read more

No. Crowded. The staff tried to take away plates on the table that had food in it, and we weren't done with. The person taking orders huffed a few times, and I was as nice to her as possible but it left me feeling like I just wanted to leave. The food wasn't great. There were no utensils restocked at the station where we're to get our silverware. It was frustrating trying to find someone to ask for utensils. It took a while for the food to come out, too. The place was so noisy it gave my husband a headache and he got out of there as quickly as he could. I gave it 2 stars because they utilized their space very well and crammed in as much seating as possible, which was impressive, and it all was full on a Sunday early afternoon. Either way, I'm not coming back. read more

Nice atmosphere and friendly service! We love coming to Madeline's for lunch and it's always a great experience at this location. Definitely a go to spot I would recommend! read more

My sorority met here for our monthly breakfast! We called ahead for reservations and seating in the private dining room as we get kinda noisy. We had the best time of fellowship and the food was great and no orders were delivered wrong. This is our third time and many of the ladies come here with family and other groups. The manager and Sarah were both very friendly and treated us well! The tables see decorated with little flowers and clean cloths. They provided a coffee urn and plenty of nice cold water too! We took a picture of the group that we will share soon. Did I mention that the prices are right on point? Can't say enough about this experience today read more

I met a friend for lunch here last week. We both ordered grilled cheese sandwiches. Sounded so goid on menu but.... Usually grilled cheese involves buttering outside of bread and popping sandwich onto a grill, hence the name "grilled cheese". That didn't happen with these. Bread was dry on outside and cheese was lacking. I ordered a cup of tomato bisque with mine, cool, not hot and lacking somewhat in flavor. I guess I expect better for my money. Will not return! read more

the food was good had it today and yesterday and the service was good and the place is ambiance was amazing

Excellent breakfast and lunch selections. I prefer the breakfast as the omelets are loaded so be sure you like the topping you select! Decent selection of coffee options but the real gem is the amount of bakery items you can choose from. Excellent bread choices but you have to try the croissants! read more

I love this place. Everything is good. But I was a little upset today to find that the franchise had not received their liquor license and therefore we couldn't have Mimosas this am. But the food was good anyways. read more

la Madeleine - This was not taken here at the restaurant. - Cafes Near Me - Buford, Georgia

I've tried a few sandwich options for lunch and have been satisfied with the taste. There are still plenty of menu choices to explore.

I've eaten at this location several times over the last two years, and while the food is usually delicious, the service is not. Went in a couple of evenings and was told that I could either get a different quiche than what I had ordered, or wait 15 minutes. I then ordered sweet Tea - paid for it and went to the tea urn, no sweet tea. Girl at the register was extremely rude when I asked for more sweet Tea. Waited for another 5 minutes, and I was then told that they couldn't make any more that night, and this was two hours before closing. Not the first time I've had poor service here, this time was just extraordinary. Le Madeleine's = Good Food + Bad Service. read more

Went to La Madeline for breakfast this morning. When I went to find a seat, there was a crushed cockroach under my seat. No biggie, I went to another table. I was so excited to get my food. The croissant was amazing. It literally melted in my mouth. I got to bite four and noticed a hair. I tried to pull it out! It was not just a piece of someone's hair, it was the entire strand. It was cooked in my food. GROSS! I will never return to this location. I wish I would have taken pictures. I just wanted to leave. read more

I've lived in France and will attest that La Madeleine does not, in any way, provide the French cafe experience...well, except for the à la carte practice of ordering. When you walk in, you are immediately filtered to a counter where you are to grab a tray and walk down an assembly line to select various items to add to said tray. When you reach the end of the counter, you pay and find a table to sit with your meal and eat. I ordered a cup of Tomato Basil soup and the Salmon & French Lentils. The roasted salmon fillet was over-cooked and dry. Luckily, it was served over French lentil and kale stew to add some moisture to the dish. The soup was, unfortunately, extremely salty. I couldn't finish it because it tasted like I was drinking a sodium smoothie. My beau ordered the French onion soup, Chicken Friand la Madeleine (tender chicken, mushroom onion and Swiss filling in a flaky puff pastry shell topped with creamy wild mushroom sauce), and a Caesar salad. Everything was subpar and bland. When we ordered, the cashier indicated that the French onion soup was vegetarian, but upon tasting it, that was not true. I checked the menu online, as the description is not supplied on the menu when preserving at the counter, and it clearly states that the soup is made with beef broth. So, beware!! I surmise that this cafe(teria) does very well because it is in a great location where undistinguished palates of shoppers need something quick and flavored to satisfy their hunger after walking the stretches of the Mall of Georgia and decidedly wanting something better than "mall food". read more

So delicious, super fast, and helpful staff! Lots of covidcovid protocols in place (masks required, limited dine in seating, gloves, sanitizer stations, etc.) outdoor patio is still open. Learn French in the bathroom lol. Cafe sampler lets you choose a half of a quiche, salad, and soup for $10 which is generous portions and leaves you full. Plus, the still have unlimited bread and jam! read more

A good place to stop by for a quick meal and a hot cup of tea to coffee with dessert.

The best Haitian restaurant in Atlanta well on my side if you ask me lol Gwinnett county don't worry I'm definitely going to do my review over on this place once i go again so i can show y'all pictures of how good the food looks an how much food they give you but either way if you looking for Haitian food in Gwinnett come here to this place in Lawrenceville the wait might be long but it's worth it read more

We wait forever. Only half the food comes out, it's the wrong dish. The other half never comes out. The other half finally comes out (the croque monsieur), they up-size it to a full sandwich for us, to say sorry for making us wait half an hour, but it's mushy. Then the mess-up dish comes out. Let me put it to you this way... Why did the chicken cross the road? Because it was raw. Actually it was the pastry that was raw. This was at about 45-60 minutes. The manager offered to give us a coupon or something, but we declined. read more

Customer service was great, even after a rude customer! I ordered the breakfast croissant sandwich. Everything on my sandwich was cooked perfectly and the croissant was delicious. I also ordered the chocolate tart and fruit tart. The fruit tart was a little bland but the chocolate tart had a custard in it as well and it was very good. The place was a dead for it to be 5:30, I guess to go orders and such. Drink machine area needed some attendance but overall clean. read more

Is a self service like Panera! It wasn't advertised in their page. I want to seat and be served if I'm paying!

Betsy and Elijah were a fantastic team! I had some very complicated orders today and they went above and beyond for me. They even helped me work through an error that was actually my fault and did it with patience and a smile. I haven't experienced such kind service in a long time. Thanks to you both! read more

Food was so-so and they lost our order and we ended up waiting 40 minutes to get 4 out of 5 of our entrees, the last one not showing up until the other people at our table were finished eating. The quiche Lorraine was tasty but the croque madame was not very good. I would not come here again. read more

I went in for my very fist visit after years of wanting to go. I went in on a Saturday morning/afternoon. I had the French country platter with sausage and it was just enough for me. I give the dish a 8/10. The scrambled eggs were made perfect. This place did not disappoint. COVID-19 POINTERS! If you go in and you're overwhelm by the amount of people that are dining in, you can skip and bypass the long line and place a To-Go order. You will be on your merry way and also get you meal faster than the people who ordered before you. (note this was my first time going there ever) read more

They will close before 9pm, even with customers wanting food. There are several people waiting read more

Always love it here fresh cafe good food sweet treats and cozy atmos.... A definite winner!

I ordered via a delivery app during COVID times. I got a croque monsieur, and it was delicious! Despite having cooled a bit during the extended delivery process, the sandwich came perfectly structured and the bread was still crispy. I quickly re heated it in the oven, and it was a lovely, classic croque monsieur. read more

I'm sorry but it's not what it used to be. Blackberry jam is watery. They have you order right when you walk In instead of going down the isle to see the food one the line. The salad bar area is really messy. Soup wasn't really hot. Used to be number 1. Now not so much. read more

I really like this little restaurant, my mom and I came here after having disastrously tried Mimi's Cafe which had been too loud and the waitress to unaccommodating when I had a migraine. The restaurant is kind of cafeteria style but not, but it was very relaxing after being at Mimi's. The coffee was very good and they have 3 different roast for you to choose from and you can also get some bread and jam while you wait for your food. The food was good from what I could eat of it (migraines severely dampen your appetite) but the little bit I could eat was very good. There were a good number of people there but everyone was quietly enjoying their breakfast, everyone just being respectful of it being morning and not wanting to disturb everyone else. I really liked this place and would like to go back again the next time I'm in Buford. read more

I've been a longtime fan and patron of La Madeleine. Their food is so fresh and the menu is unique. I have not had anything I did not like or enjoy. My favorites include the Caesar salad, tomato soup and the Sacher torte cake! - The Caesar salads are mixed to order right in front of you and are generously covered in their delicious Caesar dressing and amazing croutons. The croutons are perfect - not soggy bread but not teeth and roof of our mouth ripping hard either. - Their tomato soup is sooo incredible! It's is creamy yet tangy too. The consistently is a fine chunky, so it's not too watery and there's also not big pieces. It definitely is not like your basic canned tomato soup. I love that you can buy glass jars of the soup to take home or for gifts. - The Sacher torte is so moist and I appreciate and enjoy the raspberry filling. It's not overly sweet, but this cake dessert is rich and very satisfying. read more

Excellent food and ambience, but service was simply terrible. I ordered a penne pasta and my wife ordered a quiche. After 10 minutes in our seats with no food, my went went to checkl They said they were out of Quiche Lorraine but offered her another type. That arrived five minutes later. At that time I went up again to ask about the pasta. It finally arrived 22-23 minutes after we paid for it. read more

Cozy and quiet. Excellent quiche ! Good coffee. Huge pastry display and decadent hot cocoa topped with whipped cream and chocolate. Clean. Self-service: you bring your food to your table, fill your drink, get your silverware, etc Good location with lots of parking. read more

My expectations, I guess we're different. I imagined an elegant French restaurant with wine and cheese. This was a setting from a high school cafeteria with a line of servers with trays to stack my one item. I ordered the quiche Lorraine. It came in a tin like pot pie. Sliding around on my tray with my glass of water I walked to my table to enjoy my French dining experience. The only thing that made this experience different than the high school at noon was the French music and lack of hair nets. My wife ordered chicken fiend, $18.5 later, I couldn't exit fast enough to get to my next class. If you want to eat like your in Paris, go MacDonalds. At least the fry's are French and the atmosphere the same. read more

Exceeds expectations every time... When in the area, our girls and I love coming here. Our littlest is 6 years old, always gets the Kids Chicken and Cheese Pasta. Our 13 year old is vegetarian. So Pasta De' Madeline. Without the chicken is her go to. I'm currently diggin' the Chicken Friand & the Carmel Macchiato. Service is always friendly & prompt. And we always choose a seat by the fire. (Yes) even though we're in the South. It's just a nice cozy, laid back atmosphere. read more

I dont see how this place makes it...let alone get 4 stars. The cashier was nice ...but the people on the line were rude. Short , angry answers to questions asked..(our 1st time here). They were out of coffee at the refill area. The lady going around the tables was very polite. But the managers were a little grumpy. The food was FAR FROM 5 STARS...FOR 3 ADULTS, AND 80 BUCKS... GO TO THE CRACKER BARREL PEOPLE!! ONE EXIT AWAYYY!! SO VERY DISAPPOINTED...WE WILL NOT BE BACK!!! read more

Soups are wonderful. Sandwiches are fresh. Pastries are great. Wish I lived closer.

So, we walk in coming for the baked goods. When I walk in, I see a display case, holding very well done treats. There were coconut cakes, cheese cakes, tarts, and many other delicious looking desserts. I decided to go with the Parfait Sacher. We also got a Double Cappuccino and a Chocolate Chunk Cookie. It all was very delicious. It would have been a 5 star but, the cashier seemed to mutter and not was not very friendly and patient. Otherwise, I was great and I plan on coming back! read more
