I can't believe I spent 50 bucks to eat here. I haven't been here in around 10 years and unfortunately it is not what it used to be. It used to be well kept but now it's just run down and not maintained. Everything just feels sticky. When we got here someone greeted us and then disappeared into the back. Two more parties walked in the door and no one came out. Finally an employee who was actually on break came to help us. I felt so bad that she had to do that and made sure she knew that she was appreciated. But the issues kept rolling... My son got the salmon with broccoli and beans. Everything was cold! I got the baked potato soup. This was like warm but the bacon was ice cold! My other son got the chicken and his was luke warm at best. In closing...if not for the one employee who helped us, this would have been a 1 star rating. read more

I did not enjoy my breakfast here. To begin with the eggs were clearly powdered eggs such as what you get at a free hotel breakfast at Hampton Inn without the low price. Second if I wasn't in with others I would have walked out. I saw someone in the cooking area pick her nose, nasty! Finally the restaurant needs remodeling. It is beat up with disgusting dirty napkins under the tables which are being used to keep them from wobbling. The cure might be worse than the disease. They need someone to repair the tables. If you look around it does not look very clean. read more

it was an amazing experience. It was very packed but they moved really quick and the staff was all so friendly. I got the strawberries romanoff French toast which was amazing, light and fluffy made with country bread .... everything about this was amazing. The croissant was so warm and flaky and buttery and delicious... I also tried a quiche Florentine for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised, my friend had me try it and I lovveeeddd itttt I definitely recommend , the location I went to was in Buford and they were the sweetest read more

la Madeleine - Bakeries Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

I had an order delivered through DoorDash earlier this week when I had a craving for some French Onion Soup. Pun intended, it absolutely DELIVERED when it came to flavor! Also ordered some pastries and desserts, I was spoiled when I had the ham and cheese pastry...so flaky and buttery. It was enough to call it a meal for sure, not a snack. I was driving by here after making a run to Costco today...and decided to splurge and come by once again. It is a little confusing when you walk in- there is a big display of desserts and items, I waited here for a bit until someone told me to walk all the way down to the other end of the restaurant to place an order. It was hard to remember everything that I wanted to try, but I did my best to place my order. I think it's a little less expensive per item when you purchase it directly from the store, plus I think you're supporting the restaurant more than DoorDash when you do this. Convenience is nice for sure- but sometimes you want to spend the money on yourself, not the 3rd party website. That being said, today I went with a pastry that was savory- but when I read that it had mushrooms, I had to call an audible and change it up to a quiche. Not a big deal, I haven't had the chance to eat yet but I know I will devour it when it is time for dinner. I also decided to get a couple individually sized chocolate tarts and creme brulee in foil ramekins. I know these taste good, because I had them earlier in the week. I expect during the football game tonight I am going to be splurging big time. Service was excellent, they are very busy around lunchtime and it looks like they have lots of dine in options as well as a robust take out/delivery service. I spoke with the manager, I am so ashamed I didn't remember her name (Sherell?) but she was so sweet and kind. Also very pleased to hear that this was my second time there within two days after trying it Tuesday. I would suggest if you have a sweet tooth and an affinity for french cooking- this is definitely a place you would want to try. Knowing I can't really have bread I was sad not to take a baguette home with me. Maybe next time I'll cheat. Give this a whirl! I don't know if it's corporate owned or a small business. But I was pleased with my choices today and can't wait to regret eating it all later. read more

They are listed in several of the online ordering sites and none of them work. I placed a to go order at 8 pm yesterday and when I arrived at 9:40 for my 9:45 pick up it had been canceled at 9:34... very unprofessional. A little more heads up would have allowed for me to order properly and removing themselves from sites they don't wish to be affiliated with would be even better. While in the store the staff was silent, unwelcoming, and they seemed confused as well. Poor management blames the staff. The restaurant is poorly run. The bathrooms were disgusting and one of the two doors doesn't close at all in the ladies room. read more

Been here a few times and it's really nothing to speak highly of. -Staff doesn't respond to waiting customers - coffee served at 2pm is made from that morning. I asked and that's literally what they told me. Completely sour and disgusting. Saw them pour a fresh pot into the pot on the burner, so tried that one. Still disgusting bc they poured it into the old coffee so still sour. - Chicken la Madeleine is like 4 tiny slices of chicken. Rice looked and tasted like it was rinsed with water. Greenbeans have no salt and sautéed with diced tomatoes..? - staff had a full on party at the table beside us, right in front of the register. Back room was empty and plenty of other tables away from paying customers. - desserts always look old. Like dried, hard, filling receding from the crust old. -They need a machine to make a latte..cappachino pretty decent when they can make it. - there was a hair/lash in my food. Nothing about this place reflects France besides the name. *management reached out but only thinks the food wasn't prepared properly out of my entire review.. So I think it's safe to say that service is not going to get any better.. read more

WOW a great place to go for a variety of French entrees and pastries. It's very packed especially Sunday's around noon. Their dining experience is a hybrid of cafeteria style and traditional dining. You can choose and pick up soups, side salads, and pastries such as quiche and potato patties from the bar and everything else you ordered will be served to your table. At the drinks station they have their unlimited bread and jam available for you to take at your own convenience. Bread is fresh baked and sliced for top quality taste. The ingredients in the meals were very fresh and the entrees were seasoned very well and not overly salty. The greens such as spinach and lettuce in our salad were fresh and not limp or browned testifying to the restaurants priority in using good ingredients. We could see this once again in their very fresh berries on the French toast. read more

Yum! I love coming here for their fruit tarts which are divine and their other desserts as well. I enjoy their pasta salads and salad entrees as well along with their tomato soup and sandwiches. Nothing blows me out of the water here but the atmosphere really makes up for it. Makes you feel like you're in a little cottage in France somewhere. Love that they give you bread and jam to go with your food. read more

One of my associate had a Brunch here . She neglected to find out the details that branch stops at four and that's when we arrived. In her defense it was all of our first time here . They was willing to cook us some things off the meal . The manager was excellent better than the waitress . The place looks really nice in the inside and she has a really great band and singer . Just need to improve on the service that she hired and the meal . I hope her place make it . read more

la Madeleine - The inside of the restaurant - Bakeries Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

The place itself was rather dirty--many tables still had empty cups and plates, but even the "clean" ones had crumbles on them. Finally we found a clean table outside. The lemon tart was good; the Sacher cake was a plain chocolate cake, it wasn't like the real thing at all, but tasted good. The selection of cakes isn't great either. For the price I would've expected more special cakes. read more

I've been eyeing this place for the longest time - French cafe? Sign me up! But I just haven't been able to actually make it over until now. It definitely did not build up to the hype in my head. La Madeleine is a cafeteria-style French cafe. The inside isn't particularly decorative or anything special. When you walk in, there's a pastry display on your left with its paying station next to it. Next, a pick up station for online orders. Then, the cafeteria line. I would suggest looking at the menu beforehand (stands near the door) before entering the line as it might be difficult to know what to get as options are not clearly labeled. The server fills up your plate, hands it to you, and then you check out. There's a free bread station as well, but that's nothing special either. Store brought bread was better. I had the salad sampler - potato soup, tomato penne pasta, and chicken salad. The potato soup was alright, but was extremely fatty. The bacon I got in my soup was clearly undercooked. The pasta was alright, nothing special. And the chicken salad was actually decent but didn't taste super fresh. I believe this plate was $10. At the end, I had a caramel apple danish that looked great, but was underwhelming in flavor and texture. The puff pastry was rather dense and didn't taste fresh at all. The apples also didn't taste fresh. They tasted like they came out of a can. I've had better pastries from Lidl and Publix, in all honesty. $4 wasted on a pastry here. TLDR; If you're looking for a French cafe experience, this is not it. If you're looking for quick food that's slightly above fast food and there's no Chick-fil-A in sight, La Madeleine might be worth your time. read more

My mother's favorite place which has never failed to please. I consider it more of a soup and sandwich place but they have decent entrees and great desserts. I feel it a bit overpriced but the place has this french rustic/country decor with a fireplace in the middle that it makes you feel cozy. The place always seems packed but the staff has usually been great and like mentioned before, decent and nice food. My mom's to go place when she wants a calm ladies night with either friends or my sister and I. By the way, all their soups are awesome and many products are jarred and ready to sale for a rainy day at home or just because. That's awesome! Mmm, tomato basil soup . read more

Best in town! Soup is great, mushroom tastes just like in Paris, Cesar's salad is so good they bottled the dressing. The chicken salad sandwich on croissant is to die for. I always get an extra to take home. A half dozen almond croissant from the bakery and a napoleon for dessert just can't be beat! read more

Oh man I'm in love! This place had all the right stuff. Maybe it was because I was starving at the time or maybe it was just that damn good, but as you can see I only took one pic I was over in Gwinnett area and even though it was 3 in the afternoon I wanted some brunch, so naturally I turned to Yelp and sadly almost every place was closed. From where I was at and where I needed to be back at in 30 minutes this place was very convenient, about an 8 minute drive. GPS for the location in the actual shopping complex took me around the way, but if you stop and look around you can easily find it. I was welcomed as soon as I came in, the girl at the register was very friendly, and was kind enough to answer any questions that I had. In total I had the Strawberry Romanoff French Toast, Croque Madame which comes with a with a side of wild field salade, with a very nice dressing, vinaigrette I believe, a potato cake (the exact name of it escapes me), and an iced latte. Did I say I was hungry? In total it was about $29 and I left an $11 tip, so $40 right on the money. I immediately at the potato cake and I'm not sure if it comes with it out if the server was just nice enough to give it to me, but there was this mushroom sauce that just, ohhh, it was amazingly delicious. There were a couple of people around and I kept looking to make sure I wasn't eating like a savage beast because it was sooo good I am not much of a coffee person, but I could drink their iced lattes all day! I got caramel and drank every bit of it. I had the French toast later in the day as desert. I don't know if they put some cognac in the icing but I got a buzz off of it when I was done, but it too was absolute culinary perfection! The madame I ate for lunch the following day. The egg really sets it off. I would definitely come back here and am thankful to find there is a location closer to where I leave. Will be leaving a review for that one too once I have the chance to visit. 5 stars all around! read more

This place deserves more love. I come to places for the food and the service. I think that I did not fully understand how it worked but you order at the counter first and then take a seat. I figured it out . This was literally my last day in ATL and I wanted to eat a really good breakfast. I ordered the Cinnamon French toast and 2 eggs scrambled hard and 2 sausage. I think either I made a mistake or the cashier on the order. I did not make a big deal but, asked if I could order the sausage from the table. My food runner brought the sausage at no charge even though I was insisting on paying. That was so beautiful to me. The food was scrumptious. Happiness and goodness in every bite. It was hard to leave a bite at the end but, I still did, in order to observe fine dining habits that I prefer to keep. I love this place. The food was phenomenal! And my experience was amazing! I sure will miss it as there is not one that I know of in the state in which I am moving. I emotionally say a deep and heartfelt: Thank you La Madeleine for such a wonderful breakfast on my last day in Georgia for now. I am eternally grateful for the experience and your hospitality. read more

The place was packed when my sister and I stopped in on a Sunday morning/afternoon. I had the pick two deal they had going. Sausage quiche and the strawberry salad. I also got one of the potato cake thingys. Every, single, bit of it was delicious. They have a tiny bread bar at the end of the drink section and for free, you can get samples of breads with butter and their house made jams. Delicious! The set up is beautiful. Wood burning fire place in the middle of the dinning room. Very comfortable and quaint. They do need to set up a sign or have someone tell you how to order because we were beyond confused. You grab a tray and go down the line and tell them what you want. Then the drinks are at the end of the line. That's what we did anyway. The food is fabulous. The service was warm and welcoming yet busy, and the food was perfect. Must try! read more

Their service here has gotten a lot better than the last time I was here. Just saying. So that being said. I think I was having lunch with my mom here and we were both wanting something sweet, especially me! Maybe it was just me.. anyways, for lunch my mom and I had shared a shrimp and pesto bow-tie pasta (note: all of their pasta is bow-tie pasta). Dessert! I loooooove dessert!!! Especially when I have a major sweet tooth! So here's what I got: Caramel Crème Brûlée ($2.99 each) - very sweet, but if paired with black coffee it tastes absolutely divine! Brûlée Cheesecake ($4.99 each) - very sweet as well, but tasted good nonetheless! Eclair ($3.29 each) - delicious in every which way! I just love it.. this one was my favorite out of all the desserts mentioned above! My mom also enjoyed this one as well. So the next time you visit here, you should definitely try out their desserts! Try 'em all if you have a sweet tooth! Hehe! Oh and I was serviced by this sweet old lady. I don't remember her name but she was friendly and recommended me the Caramel Crème Brûlée. She said it was one of her favorites! So of course I had to try it! I'll be back for some more! read more

This spot is in a hidden area but is definitely worth giving a try. We ordered at the start of the line and as we moved down, they gave us our sides. They got it out pretty quick. The last was nice with us although she did forget to add the chicken i ordered with my omelette but she didn't charge us so i didn't mind it. We were surprised at how much food we got for the price. The dishes were brought out right to our table and served pretty fast. We started off with the french onion soup which i loved and highly recommend. Although, I saw that the OJ was poured right from a carton that you can get from Walmart and is priced over 3$. I would recommend getting a coffee as it's unlimited refills for 3$. My favorite was the French flavor coffee. For dessert, i got the strawberry romanoff which is just cream on top but it was sweet and i recommend. It didn't feel too unhealthy either. The inside of the restaurant is so cute and you get to choose where you want to sit, they have an outside aswell. At the entrance they have a little bakery with sweets that look so good, i grabbed a chocolate croissant and it was so good! read more

Meh. My most recent experience at this La Madeleine was just okay. I have been to this location a couple of times. Their soups and salads are pretty tasty and it's awesome that they offer unlimited bread. It's also pretty elegant and they teach you French if you go to the bathroom (overplaying looping soundtrack of French phrases). However, I guess I wasn't impressed with their service as far as the service went. It was a little busy, but I didn't think it was so busy that they couldn't communicate the proper order that we thought we were getting. The water tasted a little weird too. Some of their items seem a little overpriced as far as corporate-French-Faux-cuisine goes. /End-Yelp-Rant read more

For about $9, I thought the trio was a good deal. It comes with halves of two different specials (I got the friands) and soup/salad (I got the cup of mushroom soup). I shared this plate and was adequately full, surprisingly, for someone who had not eaten dinner the previous day nor breakfast that day. There is also complimentary bread and their house made jelly. I enjoyed the jelly because it tasted fresh and not too sweet. The mushroom soup was creamy. I could definitely distinguish the smell of the mushroom. The temperature was hot but not scalding. I was pleased that they got the temperature right because when I walked in, I felt like it was a chain restaurant a la French version of Panera bread. I did not get the impression that the soup just came out of a big pot. I like that there is a patio to sit outside during good weather. There is adequate shade for the tables as well. A cashier took the order at the beginning of the line. However, I felt it odd that I had to repeat my order as I went down the line and pointed out which dishes I wanted. At the end of the line, there are counters to grab utensils, napkins, drinks, etc. read more

This place has yummy food... the chicken la madeleine was really tasty.. the chicken was so tender and the sauce on top of it was even better... the salmon dill was good but not as good as the chicken.. The place was busy being a weekend but they had a lot of seating.. even outdoor seating too.. lot of parking.. the ambience was also of a French nature.. this is a really good place to get a brunch..

I don't have much to say that hasn't already been said. I'm so mad I have never been here before. It's my kind of vibe. I loved the fireplace and the decor. You order at the cashier station and if your food has to cook you get a big spoon and they come find you at your table. I ordered the chicken la madeleine which is chopped chicken breast covered in a creamy wild mushroom sauce. I had potatoes and broccoli on the side. Skip the broccoli. The potatoes were so yummy, great texture. The chicken was delicious. Do try the free bread and jam. I was pleasantly surprised. I'll come back here to try the coffee, I know it's amazing! read more

I'd never heard of this place but when I was invited to attend a baby shower here, I headed straight to Yelp to see what good food they had to offer. In a shopping center not too far off Pleasant Hill in Duluth, La Madeleine serves breakfast all day but also had plenty of other options to suit your needs. I wish I could say this was an amazing experience but it was rather mediocre. The food was good but the service was less than stellar. I'm not sure what transpired but they were less than pleased about a group of 15 being there. You order with a staff member at the counter and they bring your food to your table. My isssue was that the lady who took my order was not friendly and when I brought the issue of dirty glasses and utensils to another staff member, it was as though I was bothering them. I had the American breakfast with bacon, scrambled eggs with cheese, a potato cake of sorts, and the biggest croissant ever. Alllll of it was delicious and it was served super hot and a huge portion for the price I paid. A rather quiet place on a Sunday with good food and okay service. read more

oh my God I love this place when my husband and I are traveling we ran into one in New Orleans and it was just wonderful.

I highly recommend Lou Madeleine. read more

Went there for lunch and had the cafe sampler for ~10$. It was good you can have a 1/2 quiche or friand + salad + soup. I chose : 1- chicken friand, it was a little dry but still good, ask to have the sauce on the side ! 2- tomato soup : hot and tasty 3- quinoa salad : good surprise I really liked it it has quinoa, pecan, kale and cranberry! Service was good, we had a sample of the strawberry napoleons, I loved it ! It is a little expensive for lunch, I go there as a treat ! read more

Great food, not so great service. From start to finish it was apparent the employees are doing the bare minimum. When ordering, checking out and trying to get a to go box it just felt like employees were not proactive. For example, I went to get in line to ask for a to go box, the person in front of me checks out and the cashier just walks away. Another person walks up but is organizing stuff and doesn't acknowledge me. The person behind the beverages is standing there staring off into space. So I just walked partly behind the counter and grabbed the to go box myself. Food was great though. I had the Breakfast Croissant and the Strawberries Romanoff Crepes. read more

My coworker and I went to grab lunch from LaMadeleine for the first time because we wanted to try somewhere new and different from our previous lunch places. We got to this location (Pleasant Hill) and we were blown away!! The restaurant is very clean and had a at home warm feeling. Even though we placed to-go orders, our server Elijah was amazing! He was very friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu and everything on it! I love seeing workers like that!

Update: SWEET HEAVENLY JESUS! I feel like a basketball has been shoved into my tummy and someone is playing bouncy bouncy in there. I ATE TO MUCH TOO FAST....... But someone had to do it, to get you this update. ( as my head is laying on the back of my chair). As I was being rolled out I stopped by the bakery and bought ( for the car ride home) lemon madeline's, baguette, lemon and chocolate tart, sacher pudding cup. Yes! I saved three or four well... maybe one piece for family members that have never been there. Then I thought screw them! I'm eaten these yumminesses for myself. French onion soup is awesome here, they take the time to season the crispy little pieces of bread that soaks up that frickin' yummy broth. I love you French onion soup you complete me. I tried ( again I wasn't alone, but still ate my usual 67/33 %) Chicken la Madeleine, mmmmmmmmmmmmm I wanted mushroom sauce though I ran out. I was so close to picking up that plate like I was 7 and lickin' it clean ya'll. So close. Shut up! I also tried Spicy Basque Chicken and rice, mmmmmmmmm nice tomatoey sauce with a nice level of spice. needed a little salt, but still super tastey. Their chicken salad is always good, specially with the free bread butter and Blackberry jam. Yes! grab a few slices they have by the drink station take some butter and blackberry jam and spread it on the bread first then add a spoonful if chicken salad!!!! Omg it is so good. the pesto pasta is super tasty and the bacon strawberry spinach salad is awesome to. ooooooooh my tummy hurts. read more

I would not recommend this place I was excited to try a new place out with my one year old daughter. I sat and ate an entire breakfast and no one even asked me if I'd like a high chair for my daughter. I ate quickly and decided to leave. But first I thought I'd get a tasty dessert. I was excited to get home and enjoy the dessert being that the service was so horrible but I wanted to give the restaurant a chance. I got home and opens the dessert box to mold on the fruit toppings of the cheesecake. I am very disappointed I even went here :( read more

la Madeleine - Molded strawberries. - Bakeries Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

I know plenty of people that LOVE La Madeleine, but I am just not one of them. There's two reasons: 1. Only if you come in when it's not busy do you get your food in a reasonable amount of time. They seem to be super understaffed. There's been plenty of times where they've messed up my food or forgotten my food or both. You can avoid this problem by ordering stuff that's already made (but then your choices are limited). 2. The food is only mediocre. I've never had anything here that made me think "this is so good". The Eggs Benedict is okay, the Chicken La Madeleine is okay, the Quiches are okay... but nothing is great. Conclusion: Come only when you are craving it and hopefully it's not super busy, otherwise be ready to wait forever for your food. read more
