La Madeleine has been a go-to for that somewhat French style cafe for years. While the quality of the food has seemed to decline over the years I still frequent La Madeleine because there's something comforting about it. Maybe it's the big fireplace you may be lucky enough to sit in front of or maybe it's my favorite eggs champignon, I'm not sure but I keep going back and I t always feels quaint and cozy. Service can be hit or miss. The one thing I would suggest is you check your to-go order making sure everything you ordered is inside that bag. Obviously dessert is always a necessity here and they have the best selection. Never say no to dessert. Ever. read more

This specific McKinney location is why we keep coming back. The customer service is amazing. The managers really get to know their customers and you don't feel like a stranger coming in the next time. Thank you for the people working at this location. Y'all truly make this la Madeline. read more

I do not recommend this la madeleine. Soup was practically cold. Salad was too vinegary, and the children's pasta was watery with lumps in it! The child with us refused point blank to eat. Had to ask for cutlery even to eat. I got the salad remade and they didn't even bother with croutons or Parmesan. Evidently everything is too much a burden - like work! Female bathrooms had no toilet paper or soap. Will be skipping this place in future. read more

My husband and I both got the salad sampler. I had a Caesar salad and the lettuce was not the leafy green romaine I expected. Not good at all. The fruit was old and shouldn't have been served. The service was good, but the food quality would keep me from returning. Used to like this place, but won't be back. read more

We ordered their desserts specifically the Sachet chocolate cake and parfait. They taste good but are on a sweeter side. The coconut cake is yum. Both were moist on the inside. I would give it full star had they been a little less sweet read more

I've written before about La Madeleine's history in Dallas. I've also,pontificated on their decline that stated about ten years ago. That's why I was surprised to find a brand new La Madeleine sitting in the far northern suburbs. I'd thought since they couldn't get the operation of the established stores back on track, expansion would be out of the question. I guess I was wrong. Walking into this newer one is a very esthetically pleasing experience. The signature faux French Cafe looks,central fireplace, delectable desert display. I decided to give my go to La Madeleine order a try. The American Breakfast. Consisting of two scrambled eggs, four bacon strips and a fresh croissant. The secret here is the scrambling of the eggs,which after years of perfection has been off lately. I'm happy to report my American Breakfast while good,can be improved on by...you guessed it. Scrambling the eggs Mo Bedda! I have no doubt in this impossibly busy location they will fare well. I just hope they can handle it Go...for now read more

I am a frequent patron of La Madeleine in different locations. Sometimes service can be long during the busy lunch and dinner hours, but this can be expected.

Everyone is always so sweet and the food is always exceptional. I can't recommend this place enough.

This place hit the trifecta, bad service, bad food and high prices. McDonald's is better food. Never ever going here again. The worst. they should be out of business within 6 months read more

Excellent service and Food quality always great!! And they have FREE bread and their rewards program gets even more free bakery items!!

I was in this area for meeting today and saw this La madeleine. I had a really bad experience on the Belt line Addison location previously, it took me a moment before I decided to walk in to give it another try. This location is very clean. Everyone is very friendly, happy & helpful. Once I walk in, the server already greet me. Wonderful service, great place to hang out. Pastries still the same like before, delicious. Would come back this weekend to have breakfast here. read more

We love La Madeleine and visit a few times a year to get our Tomato Basil soup and Cesar salad fix. This is our first visit to the McKinney location and we like that it seems a little brighter and airier than the other locations. Frederick was the young man that ran the register and he was the nicest! His customer service was impeccable. With Covid, the flatware and bread are now behind the counter. When my daughter asked for additional bread slices he obliged happily. Gotta have that bread to dip in the soup ya know! The employees on the service line making salad and dishing up soup were also very professional and attentive. By far the best La Madeleine we have ever visited. And as an added bonus, who doesn't love learning French while visiting the restroom. The recording of French class always makes us giggle. read more

The service I received, in a prime lunch time while getting something Togo by Ryan, was outstanding. He was kind, quick and genuinely seemed to want to assist me! The food is always amazing, but I know that amazing service is hard to come by these days. I will be back for him alone! read more

I've been here a handful of times for breakfast. I always forget about this place. I love the inside decor; they have a variety to choose from. And for a chain; they're not terrible. I'm obsessed with the lemon tarts I get one every time! I have had a few of the breakfast options; and they were all good. It's a nice place to pop in and get something quick. read more

la Madeleine - Heart Cheesecakes - chocolate ganache covered & plain with confectioners-sugar dusted raspberries - French Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Such a great ambiance and experience. We sat right in front of the fireplace and the food and service was amazing. I had a small issue with one of my cards at the register and the manager politely assisted the employee. It was so refreshing to see a manager respect their employee and care for the customer at the same time. I haven't been to La Madeleine in a while and I came because I had a gift card but after this experience I will become more of a frequent visitor. read more

Interesting place a bit confusing regarding how to order essentially you go to the counter and give you an order and then go pay and sit down and they'll bring food to your table. The food quality is decent and will put a touch of France around the place read more

la Madeleine - Tarts - French Near Me - McKinney, Texas

I ordered meal that comes with avocado toast. Avocado toast was the main reason I ordered that breakfast meal in the first place, and you barely can see avocado in there. Also, first time I brushed off an incompetence of the workers there, but second time they were pretty incompetent again. Two people at the cashier register had no idea what they were doing, needed help and then dared to act frustrated with me. Was that toast to pay off your frustrations with me? You guys obviously don't know how to work with the customers. From now on I will avoid going to this location as much as I can. read more

la Madeleine - Terrible service and incompetent personal - French Near Me - McKinney, Texas

This was my first ever French influence sit-down! Loves: Dishes were in the French language. I do not know French, so I was having fun looking at all the names and spellings. The menu was easy to look at, read, and colorful. It is sort of like buffet style. Figure out what you want to you when entering, grab a food tray, tell the cooks, and walk away from the register with your food on tray and sit. Don't worry about your trays and trash at the end, they pick it up when you've left. It was a little chilly in there, but I was too busy once I started to eat that I warmed up. The feelings inside were different from outside. Inside it's exposed wood and pictures of France. Outside, the charm is only in the name. I'd love to go again and try something. I got the croque monsieur. Pronounced "crook". read more

First visit. The girls behind the counter were very nice and helpful. I ordered the Chicken La Madeleing. It wasn't much food for the $ and I would think they would sell more if they used heated mashed potatoes instead of refrigerated ones. It must be a French thing. But I gave then one star because they offer unsweetened, sweet and Mango ice teas which were pretty good. Except to spend about $15 a person for dinner. read more

If you're looking for a place to have a nice brunch, a light lunch, or a coffee date this is the place! I usually get a salad and a coffee here. The interior is gorgeous and rustic in a classy way, and it manages to stay in the French theme without being corny. read more

Enjoyed a full, delicious meal with my family at this new location. There were many servers and employees that were happy to address our questions and check in with us. We decided to dine in and were glad the tables allowed for social distancing (every other table was closed). We tried the Caesar Salad, Strawberry Bacon Spinach Salad, Cream of Mushroom Soup, County Potato Soup, French Onion Soup, Chicken La Madeleine, Pesto Pasta w/ chicken, Vanilla Parfait, Chocolate Chip Cookie, and Liberte Tart. Appetizers (Salad + Soup) The salads were flavorful and fresh. The soups were all delicious, though the Onion soup was too salty for my taste. Entrees The Chicken La Mad. was nicely plated and served w/ broccoli and mashed potato. The broccoli was a bit too soft and bland, but with the mushroom sauce poured over, it was alright. The Pesto Pasta was creamy and generously served with sauce and bread. Dessert The Vanilla Parfait was mediocre, but a small portion size. The Chocolate Chip Cookie was huge and just the right texture for me (in between soft and crunchy). The Liberte Tart was tiny but pretty good, topped with fruit and whipped cream. Overall good dine in experience. read more

I've always loved La Madeleine, and had not been there in a while. This La Madeleine was on Eldorado Parkway in McKinney Texas. I was going to get my usual and then I noticed the bacon & broccoli pasta. Who doesn't love bacon and broccoli and pasta? When served I was immediately disappointed, seeing fewer broccoli than shown on menu, however, I do recommend the bacon broccoli pasta! read more
