I love this place. This time I tried the Potato galettes (think Potato pancake), and four pastries I havent tried before. The Staff is always friendly and the service is always fast. I went after 8 so it was nice and quiet in the restaurant. The Potato gallettes are crispy on the outside and are good with breakfast or lunch. The almond pastry was nice and soft. The almonds add nice texture. I was only supposed to eat half but I ate the whole thing. The chocolate croissants were just not for me. I love chocolate and I love croissants but together, it wasn't my thing. No stars off for that because it's a matter of preference. The ham and cheese Danish had crispy parmesan on the outside. I was really good and could be for breakfast and lunch. I visit here often. The Potato soup is delicious. I love the pesto chicken pasta, and I would tell you guys about this amazing cookie that they have BUT, they already sell out too quickly. I don't need any more competition. read more

Good was incorrect on one order by miscommunication of cashier. The place was clean and good was good. The waiter made the good correct quickly and experience was easy. Restroom stall door was broken making me watch and wait while my kid uses the toilet. Please fix the stall lock so it can be safer for kids! read more

Stopped in the area to visit Bath & Body Works, and I decided to grab myself lunch. Overall, the food wasn't bad. The excess filling/liquid from crepe made it a bit soggy in texture/taste. I enjoyed the chicken salad croissant sandwich the most. read more

I stopped here for lunch. The service was easy and fast. I chose the salad sampler. I had the petite caesar, cranberry and pecan wild field, and strawberry spinach bacon salads. They tossed in the salad dressings instead of serving them on the side. I wish I would have asked for a small dressing on the side because the tossed dressing was very little and made the salads a tad bit dry. I love the lighting here. Very bright and welcoming. Noise level was a bit loud but to be expected during the time I was there (lunch rush). read more

I would like to commend the Elmwood location of La Madeleine for its exceptional customer service. Victoria, who is most often the cashier during my early morning visits, consistently delivers a warm, courteous, and professional experience. Her friendliness and efficiency greatly enhance each visit and reflect very positively on the restaurant. I would also like to recognize Ms. Keisha, the manager, for her outstanding professionalism. She recently addressed a concern of mine with courtesy and efficiency, resolving the matter promptly and thoroughly. Her attentive, respectful approach demonstrated strong leadership and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. The level of service provided by both Victoria and Ms. Keisha exemplifies the high standards upheld by La Madeleine and is sincerely appreciated. I highly recommend this location. read more

The staff (as always) are nice and friendly.....genuinely friendly! They greet you upon entering and are very patient with me when I don't know what I want. Today I decided on coffee and a spinach omelette which comes with a croissant that I never eat. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star is because I hate being wasteful, especially with food. The croissant comes with the omelette, but I wish there was a way to just pay for the omelette and save a few bucks especially when I don't eat it, or to sub it out for something else without paying the full fee. Additionally, the plate was a bit greasy with a lot of fingerprints around the edges. Presentation is everything so it would have been great to have a plate that was nice shiny and clean, with the omelet in the center. I'm big on the details as it gives an illusion that the plate is dirty. The omelette, fruit, and coffee were very good though! I'll be back! read more

la Madeleine - Coffee and croissant - Cafes Near Me - Harahan, Louisiana

The cashier told us we could substitute but neglected to inform us that an additional $3.79 would be added to our bill, which in our case was x2. In addition I told her to make sure my eggs were well done. I expressed this more than once but they came out undercooked and flavorless . The croissants were cold and hard, the bacon was burnt, and the potato Gallette outer crust was too hard to chew. The fruit that we paid extra for with the substitution wasn't the least bit sweet. When I asked to speak to the manager and she asked what we had we ordered and offered no explanation. All she told me was ok sweetie. This all was at a cost of $49 for these breakfast's. Overall this experience was totally a waste of money. read more

la Madeleine - Yummy! - Cafes Near Me - Harahan, Louisiana

The Napoleons were such a disappointment they are using less crème between the layers. Charging more and getting less.

Nice restaurant with good service. Noisy ambiance. French dip sandwich had tender beef, but too much mayo and no cheese. The gravy dip was way too salty. French Onion soup was good, but it too was a bit salty. Quiche was very good. read more

My favorite thing on the menu is the chicken salad croissant. I didn't care for the Caesar salad. In my opinion It had too much Caesar dressing, it was too wet. It was pretty slow so it was very quiet so the service was pretty fast. The quiche wasn't too hot so I didn't eat it there. Once re heated at home it was decent. read more

The food is so very freshly made and delicious. The service is amazing. The atmosphere is great and inviting.

I stopped by here to grab a dessert to take out. This was my first visit. There was plenty of parking and there were plenty of tables inside for dining-in. Over a quick glance, the tables did look clean. The staff person who took my order was friendly. There were only a few things in the display that I was interested in trying. I decided to try a strawberry napoleon. I have never had a napoleon before so I don't have a comparison point but I thought it was tasty. I would definitely order it again. read more

La madeleine Restaurant standards has gone down considerably. The Quality of food is no comparison to-how it used to be. The staff are rude including the manager. The older nice lady who used to be a waitress is no longer there . Croissants which used to be a stable are so tiny. They're actually serving the small croissants as a breakfast sandwich with hardly any ingredients on it. It's a joke for 10.00. We will not be going back . Corporate better reconsider or they will be closing soon. read more

Kind of a below average experience for me. The first employee on the line was on her phone while we were standing in front of her. The staff was goofing off in front of customers. It took a bit to get our order. The food was kind of below average, too. Disappointed. read more

1) Excellent tomato basil soup - free bread - -excellent rich dark French Roast coffee -half/half cream if you want -cane sugar if you want -sour dough bread free !!! (not as good as San Francisco yet better than nothing) very nice that they provide bread and Rhubarb jam !! -a lot of jared products for sale 2) Clean countertops & friendly staff 3) inside is nice -walls are brightly painted --- I am use to the Dallas Texas La Madeline's' (opened in 1983; i use to go there a lot - the walls are more dark mocha colors and more wood ceiling beams and they play FRENCH MUSIC and it has a more French vibe feel inside i just moved close by and this will be my Go-To morning coffee 11/2022 Tomato Basil Soup French Onion Croissant Quiche Florentine Pesto Pasta read more

Took my kids here for lunch and we all enjoyed our food, service and the atmosphere was great. This new location is roomy, efficient and staff was amazing. We ordered easily and immediately sat at a table to start our soups salad and drinks. I liked that drinks are self serve and little bread with butter is available. We had a number at our table so they could bring our food when it was ready. Between the 4 of us, we had: -The French Dip with potato chips (hot, fresh and the chips were great!) -Kids Chicken & Chees Pasta with fruit cup and juice (No complaints from 10 yr old) -Pasta la Madeleine....w/broccoli & Mushrooms with sea salt baguette (big portion and I loved the sliced chicken instead of chunks) -Country Potato soup (not hot enough for my taste, but all my kids liked it) -Cranberry Pecan Wild Field Salad Drinks, we had tea, soda, juice and fancy mocha coffee. The juice is 100% and in a pouch for kids. The tea was ok. And the coffee was yummy. We also took bakery items home and they were wonderful!! Bathroom is shiny new and clean. Staff appeared happy and their uniforms were nice. Everyone was smiling, helpful and kind. All in all, it was a great lunch with my kiddos. read more

I finally found something that La Madeleine doesn't do well. I ordered the French Dip Sandwich and a Caesar Salad through Uber Eats. The lettuce was starting to go bad. The meat on the sandwich was tough, hard to chew and flavorless. The accompanying au jus was just nasty. I was really disappointed in my entire order and it will probably be a while before I eat here again. read more

I didn't have the best experience here in terms of food or service. They must have changed the pesto pasta because I remembered it was different pasta and didn't taste as good. I had a little miscommunication when ordering and left the interaction feeling badly when I was trying to ask a question. read more

I ordered what I THOUGHT would be a nice, delicious, warm Nutella filled croissant muffin. However, when I bit into it, THERE WAS NO NUTELLA INSIDE. Just a tiny speck of Nutella on top. It looked like there would be Nutella in it, but no. It deceived me. I was disappointed. I spoke to the woman who served it to me and she told me they didn't fill it with Nutella when they make it. Well then DON'T CALL IT A NUTELLA CROISSANT MUFFIN. When I bought it, she asked me if I wanted it warmed up, I said yes. When she gave it back to me, it was still cold. 0/10 experience. I will not be going back. read more

It pains me to give a 2-star review but in the last couple of months, there seems to be no attention to what was ordered. I order takeout breakfast nearly every Sunday - French Country Breakfast with extra add-on bacon and avocado. I do wish the croissant could be substituted but that's not the issue. The last few months, something has been left out of the order nearly ever week - a couple of times, there was no potato galette; several times, no avocado; several times, no extra bacon. I'Ve started checking the order befor leaving. Last week, I noticed there was no extra bacon so the sweet woman at the takeout area gave me the extra bacon. However, I didn't notice until I got home that the potato galette was missing. Obviously, I'm paying for food I'm not getting. I guess it's on me since I keep going back, but, sadly, I think I'll have to find somewhere else to get Sunday breakfast so I get what I paid for. read more

I would give this place negative stars if I could. The old location must have had different staff. I've come here twice now and both times have been beyond horrible. The first time I came, I gave them a break since they just opened but clearly that was not the issue. I ordered a soup and half sandwich combo. My boyfriends food came out and my soup arrived later but the sandwich never did. I asked the staff, they said it was coming. Waited over 10mins. The staff now says they are making a fresh one. Once they brought it, it was the wrong sandwich. Waited over 30mins to get my food. I was very upset and they only offered me a full sandwich instead of the half I ordered. I had no desire to go back. A couple months later, Im on the road and need breakfast before my trip. "Let's try la Madeline again. It's a better option than McDonald's..." well actually it wasn't and I wished I'd gone there instead. We ordered American breakfast with extra bacon "eggs your way", we requested over easy. Drink-americano. Second meal, potato galette with a side egg over medium. Americano came out as a basic black coffee. Guess they don't know what americano is. Staff looking for table confused and offers it to 2 other tables. We decline it because it's scrambled eggs with side sausage. Not our order. The lady goes to the kitchen and comes back saying it's our order. No it's not. We ordered this...on the receipt. She returns to the kitchen frustrated. Our order comes with the same side of sausage not the extra bacon. We remind the staff. By end of the meal it comes and it's literally a pile of burnt crumbles. See photo. My potato was way over cooked it was hard. This experience was horrible. The staff can not communicate with each other on several levels. I will not go back. Management needs to make some serious staff changes. read more

The chicken: Why would you mess with a good thing? The chicken that used to be used for the salads and sandwiches (i.e., Caesar chicken sandwich and salad) was OUTSTANDING. Now, it's bland and pretty much unseasoned which completely changed the flavor profile of some of the most popular dishes - and not for the better, in my opinion. Perhaps offer an additional chicken option for those who like season-less chicken. But please, please, please bring back the original recipe! read more

I have been going here for many years my family chicken dinner SUCKED extra large trays of food not hardly nothing in them both salads had mushey crotons b and wet stone cold the 80.00 dinner was a rip off read more

Sign clearly states they close at 9pm, went in with my dad, at 8:15pm and staff was so rude and unwelcoming. Old man mopping the floor kept mumbling at us in annoyance, it was clear other workers at the counter just wanted to close up and not serve us. Left a bad taste. Unfortunate because the menu looks great. read more

This was truly terrible. Ordered the Nouveau Breakfast with egg over-medium. The egg came out as some kind of hard cooked omelette looking thing. The avocado toast was so salty as to be nearly inedible. I tried scraping the pre-seasoning off. The entire plate was floating in grease. I ordered a potato galette on the side, which was tasty, but barely lukewarm. And they were out of coffee due to a "mishap in the back". Definitely not a $20 breakfast. The employees were friendly though. I used to come here years ago, when the food was quite good. I came once a few months ago and the food was lackluster and the employees let the leftover dishes pile up on every table. I literally had to bus my own table to sit down. Figuring this was a busy day fluke, I decided to try again today. Well, today is my last day. Sorry, la Madeleine, you've really gone downhill. read more
