I contacted the restaurant by phone in search of a venue near the Holiday Inn in Cypress to request their private room for 20. We were hosting a graduation watch party for our out of town guests and family members that couldn't attend the ceremony as the hotel wanted to charge $300 for 2 hours for a room for 20 with a $250 cleaning fee for outside food even though we had guests staying at the hotel. The manager was polite, courteous and helpful and explained the options for food (catering online order for pick up indicating that it was for the party in the notes, or guests purchasing on their own). We opted for the online catering option and I easily viewed food choices and ordered the assorted pastry box and coffee with condiments. When I arrived, I was greeted by friendly smiling faces in the front of the house and proceeded to the room to set up. Although there isn't a tv monitor, projector or screen, all the inputs and electricity is there. The manager explained all this on the call so I was prepared. I brought a backdrop stand, backdrop, projector, and laptop to connect to the projector to show the livestream for the ceremony. We asked about WiFi and were told it is provided and free with no password required for access. I was able to get everything set up, connected, and ready for viewing quickly and easily. It would be amazing if the company invested in a smart tv or monitor so you could just connect via Bluetooth or flash drive, but I digress lol. The space is free so you make it work and be happy. While I set up, the Catering Specialist Carlos quickly and efficiently took my catering order, which was originally packed for pick up, and plated the pastries and set everything up for me in the room. He was so nice and accommodating making sure we had everything we needed. We had a small balloon tower that we placed outside the room for guests to find us. The event was great and the venue was perfect for our small gathering. Some of our guests ordered from the menu as well and loved their breakfast. We are very grateful that this venue has this meeting space option free of charge to their community. It's a perfect gathering space. read more

We went about 7pm mid week. This location has gone downhill. It's obvious that they are cutting corners. They don't even have the bread station out anymore. You had to ask for it. The french onion soup was watered down with a sad little slice of melted cheese that didn't cover half the cup. The chicken salad sandwich was on a stale croissant. The small chicken caesar salad was ok. It was expensive for what it was. read more

My husband and I stumbled upon this restaurant during a weekday. We were looking for some lunch after a doctors appointment. This place did not disappoint. I immediately was met with a friendly staff greeting and beautiful displays of pastries at the door. This is a buffet cafeteria style restaurant. It has an informal and cozy French cafe atmosphere. The perfect place to eat, relax, read, and to enjoy a nice coffee and dessert. Food was delicious and priced well. We will definitely return. read more

I honestly hate leaving bad reviews, but this has to be the worst experience I have ever had at a la Madeleine restaurant. It was 4 of us, we came into the restaurant on a Wednesday at 8:25 PM. We thought we had plenty of time to order and sit down and eat since the restaurant did not close till 9 pm. The signs in front of the deserts were all over the place. I ordered the wrong dessert twice and I just told the employee that I was sorry that I was just reading off whatever sign was in front of the desert. When we placed our order, three out of the four of us ordered a potato soup. We made our way down the line and were waiting for the employee who took our order down to serve us our soups, but she simply just walked away. Next thing we noticed was that they had already picked up the soups. When we got to the front to pay, there were containers with the soups behind the cashier on a counter. The employee who initially took our order, walked up to the cashier and told us there was no more potato soup so we all just opted for tomato soup, we were handed all of the soups on a very messy cup. The cashier walked away and the first person who took our order, stepped in and was taking our payment. The cashier walks out and refills the potato soup container. The person who initially took our order was all over the place. We asked her to please switch the three tomato soups back to the original potato soup we had asked for and were told they no longer had available. At this point we were frustrated and just wanted to sit down and eat something. By the time we sat down after everything got settled with our soups and our food came out it was 8:51pm. I felt a bit, rushed as the employees were locking up the doors and picking up the coffee and the jams, and were cleaning up the tables around us. The employee that initially took our order, came back and apologized two times and stated that the cashier was new. The cashier was never the problem it was her the whole time. We will not be coming back to this location. read more

I like La Madeleine even though it's a chain restaurant.. It's a charming restaurant with a lot of ambience that serves good food however I rarely eat here. The tomato soup is very pleasant tasting and is a crowd favorite. I had the chicken salad croissant which was a good sandwich but kind of small. Like I said, I like this restaurant it's just I wish the servings were larger. Don't come hangry! read more

I ordered a half croquette monsieur sandwich and a side of the tomato basil pesto pasta salad and took it to go. As you can tell by the photo, the food was unimpressive and the taste matched it. It wasn't bad but it just wasn't good. There was a thick layer of cheese on top of the sandwich which I didn't appreciate (despite being a huge fan of cheese) and there was virtually no sauce on it. The pasta salad was under-seasoned and just completely forgettable. I came here because I had $5 off after signing up for their rewards and downloading the app. Had I paid full price for this meal, I would've been more disappointed. I can't speak to any of their other food items because I hadn't been here in like 15 years, but it's safe to say this visit has solidified why I haven't returned in all those years and also why I have no plans to return. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing but why take the chance of another bad meal when there are so many other places to choose from? read more

Located in a large shared parking lot with other businesses. Plenty of parking. Compared to other locations (like River Oaks which is very small like a Starbucks) this place is very large had plenty of tables, couches and double sided fireplace. Will come back during winter to enjoy fireplace. A little odd for a Sat night 6pm but the place was empty when we walked in but soon after 10-12 customers arrived. Staff was very nice and greeted us and took time to explain our orders and options. Will be back to this location for sure read more

Plenty of parking available, staff is friendly and service is fair (time wise) Drinks are fresh and delicious as well as their pastry/desert choices. They have a great chicken salad, croissant, sandwich that I highly recommend. Prices could be better for what it is but still a nice place for those cold rainy days. Seating inside is ample. I wouldn't go with fruit here only because I've had issues with fruit dishes in the past not being all that "fresh" but the rest is great! read more

I absolutely will not visit this location ever again. I tried visiting here and the way the manager belittles her staff with customers present is disgusting and unprofessional. I thought maybe this was a one time thing, but I talked to others in the area who have gone there and they've witnessed it to. Not only that, but the food is bland. The ambiance is nice, but not the manager's nasty attitude. read more

The doors were still open but was late, like 7 minutes to close when we went in. Already clean and ready for the next day. The sweet young lady helping us was putting everything up but had no problem pulling a square lemon tart for MrM and a strawberry Napoleon for myself. As usual, they were great. Not too sweet and yummy! They had no more fresh coffee so we took it togo to have dessert at the house. Great end to a great night! read more

I go to this particular La Madeleine a lot with my family and sometimes order delivery. Tonight I decided to stay in and have my food delivered. Food arrived around 7pm. I savor and take my time with my food. 7:37pm I get to my fruit salad which is in a closed container. I am very disappointed to find a dead bug in my food. I like this location well enough to go back. I did call and alert them to this offense. Hopefully they make changes to how they cover their fruit salad in-store. read more

The bestie and I stopped by Saturday morning around 8:30. It was our first time so we asked for help. A nice young man walked us through the process of ordering at the counter and paying at the other end. We placed our orders, paid and we were given a number and we were told we could sit anywhere. Since it was 47°, they had the fire going. There are leather couches among tables so you have options on where to sit. Naturally we sat in front of the fireplace. It was nice and toasty. Our Chai Tea Latte's came out and honestly, this was the best Chai Tea I've ever had. Not "spicy" not sweet. A few moments later our breakfast sandwiches joined the table. I requested a side of avocado with mine. The croissant was flaky and buttery, but I don't like my sandwiches cut. The tomatoes were a little hard, but we still ate them. We enjoyed the latte so much we ordered two more and decided to get a pastry (Palmier) with them. The nice young man who initially helped us brought out our second round of Latte's and we asked him if the pastries are normally this hard. He checked on them for us and offered to bring us something else and we told him it's ok, we will manage. Since we've never had these before we did not know what to expect. These things were "HARD". We only ate half of them because they were honestly hard. We sat there and enjoyed our drinks and Ms. Diane approached the table and insisted on bringing us different pastries so we caved. She got a blueberry muffin and I got a chocolate almond croissant. We took them to go. I took a bite when I got home and it was delicious! Definitely coming back to try other things and enjoy another latte or two by the fire. read more

I've been going to La Madeleine for a long as I can remember. I have always loved their food. I recently went to the one on 1960 and 290. I've went before a year or so ago and it has changed a lot. In the picture you can see the strawberries Romanoff is the petite size and they give you a teaspoon size amount of Romanoffs sauce and it's their new "policy". They do not pour on top or give you the option anymore either. The owner is very cheap and gives less food and charges you more for it now. That sauce only covered two strawberries. It was horrible. Very upsetting that you have to pay for more and you only get a teaspoon more in another tiny little container. I'll never go back to this location again. I also got the pesto pasta with shrimp which I've gotten forever and loved it. But this time, it did not taste the same like it used to. Ingredients tasted cheaper and the sauce was really watery and tasteless. Very disappointing. Never again. Example - a side of avocado used to cost $1.59 and now it cost $1.79. No one really gets avocado there anymore apparently. I understand cost-of-living has gone up for everyone but you don't even get the same portion of food there anymore. And you pay more. This is not the same at all the La Madeleines. On a positive note: The staff was very kind and helpful and the service was fast. The gentleman who helped me, looked very uncomfortable explaining the new "policy" to me as I was not happy and thought it was some sort of a joke and ridiculous. I was very kind to him obviously as it is not his fault, but it can't be fun having to explain to every customer that everything has changed and they get shit for their money now. Poor things. The mango iced tea still tastes the same though read more

Best location ever !!! Staff is amazing , management is incredible. The food is so good love it!

Service took a really long time to get drinks. We got drinks after we had almost finished our breakfast. It was also the worst hot chocolate ever! It came with over an inch of thick cream that the hot chocolate couldn't even get through... until all of a sudden it does... all over you! Then when you decide to stir it so that you can actually get to it it looks like this and doesn't taste good. read more

We like this location because they are opened early and will delivery through DoorDash earlier than most places. I usually get the turkey and brie sandwich with a cup of tomato basil soup. They have the best soup! They will include bread but only one jam and butter for two people. They also don't put utensils in the to-go DoorDash orders. Food is always on time and hot. read more

Don't discount this place. I ordered the Friand and asked for extra mushroom sauce on it, and after I added a little bit of salt, it was absolutely delicious and I really enjoyed it! I was not in love with the kale and quinoa salad, but what was a wonderful experience here was the staffing. The manager stopped by twice to see how we were doing, and a lovely woman by the name of Holly was working the floor and she was fantastic about refilling our drinks and doing everything possible to make our meal as enjoyable as possible. She was wonderful! Bottom line, this was a good experience, and I can understand why one of my friends likes coming here. Thry even have a warm, lit fireplace going in the middle of the day :-). It deserves more stars! read more

This place has good desserts and pastries. I've had a few of their lunch items and some of the dishes don't have a lot of flavor. It's also on the expensive side considering the food is "okay." It's a cafeteria type line when you order but they bring you your food later, it's not already prepared like at Luby's. If you do the survey on the receipt (only takes a few mins) you can get a free dessert. I usually get it on my way out. read more

It had been a loooong while since we've eaten La Madeleine--pre Covid, actually. We ordered take out and the food was just as tasty and delicious as if we had dined in. I can't believe we waited so long to go back to La Madeleine! We will be going back soon for sure!! read more

La Madeline has been consistently good for almost 40 years now. It's been a long time since I've been in, and my lunch here today was a wonderful wave of nostalgia.

Against my better judgement, I walked past the understaffed sign and ordered coconut cake. 15 minutes in and I feel like I'm going to vomit. The cake was a little congealed but I thought maybe it was just stored in a really cold place: coconut cake is really fatty but I've never had it like this from La Madeline. My fault. I do not think the cake was made recently and hope they don't serve old cake again! read more

Been to a bunch of La Madeleine's all over and this is the only one that gave me an Americano 1/4 volume of the cup and stated "that's how it served" when I asked about it. I said "okay, this must be one hell of an Americano." But it's the same as all the other La Madeleine's Americanos. Not sure why this location only likes to give you 1/4 the volume and charge full price. And this was with the water already added to the espresso. Food was okay but you can tell they use too much butter. read more

How can you NOT love La Madeleine?? Their food has been tasty and fresh made to order for over the twenty years I've visited them. Love the chicken salad sandwich, all their soups, the tomato pasta (and I'm not a fan of tomatoes, but I don't care). Their customer service shows that they enjoy their job and their number one concern is customer service. Bravo!!! read more

I think your new surcharge on every purchase is ridiculous! I will not be returning! Service was super slow to get my order placed.

Being that i've worked for restaurants in the past, that limit you reach when you can't stand the taste of it's facilities' tasteful helpings never fails to eventually repel your apetite. I thought i'd never get tired of Babin's appetizers. Needless to say, Fried Green Tomatoes is now fighting words. Somehow, my uncanny desire for almost all of La Madeleine's dishes make my past experiences more 'tale' than true. If i had a Chicken Parisian everyday i might gather the ambition to save the world...or maybe just fix my bed. Cold & hot sandwhiches, cold and hot pastas, and fresh veggies and fruits is the surface of their menu delights. Yess they have dessert and it's fresher than morning breath. Are you now convinced? If anyone has a bad experience here i cant call it. I know for my lady & i it's always a great choice dine-in. read more
