Almond Croissant
Von W.

La Madeleine has really gone downhill--all in the name of profit, it seems. I've been a loyal patron since childhood, frequenting the St. Charles Avenue location in New Orleans. Twenty years ago, La Madeleine was a gem. Not anymore. On this visit, my almond croissant was overbaked--dark, slightly burnt, and almost empty inside. Hardly any almond cream to be found. So disappointing. Service was fine, and the interior is nice.

Inside out omelet.

Feb 21, 2026. Not sure what happened today. Quality went out the windows. Or maybe they gave us the last of what was left. Was definitely not worth the 50 dollars we pay everhtime we eat here. This is the bad part of no longer having the food out on display. You never know what you end up with. The potato palette was definitely smaller and dried up. The quiche was most definitely dried up so much it was peeled away from the pie crust and the bacon was dry and crumbly. This is normally what you see when food has sitting out too long. UPDATE: Management was very quick to reach out to me and offered to correct this. They apologized very gracefully. This was a very isolated incident anf will not deter our future visits.

I order 2 Chicken Cesar salad and I  ask for extra dressing.

I ordered 2 Chicken Cesar salad I ask for extra dressing. When I got home I open my salad and had only 2 tiny little cups on each salad and the dressing wasn't enough to mixed in my salad. I'm very disappointed of the service. I been going to this location for over 10 years and never make any complaints.

Everything was lovely. Staff was beyond sweet. I ordered a croissant breakfast sandwich with a scrambled egg and bacon. I've had this same breakfast before. This time, however, the cook decided that bacon pieces scrambled into the eggs, rather than bacon strips, was appropriate. Very disappointed and I won't be back. The bedrock of repeat business is consistency.

This was one of the strangest restaurant experience I've had. I came in about 30 mins after opening. There was a table of 4 guys at a table in the corner and one guy eating at a table by the restrooms. I stood for a moment waiting to be stated. There were 2 ladies on the other side of the counter talking. They looked at me standing there, but waited a minute before saying "sit anywhere". I sat down and was looking at my phone, waiting for a server. A couple of minutes went by and they said "coffee's over there". Hmm. I said, oh do it yourself, huh. I got coffee, sat down and realized no one was bringing menús. I asked where they were. "Over in front". Ok, looked at the menu (the ladies hadn't moved), decided what I wanted, and said "ok, now what"? She pointed to a register and said she would take my order there. I ordered and paid, and thought it was hilarious that they asked about a tip. Food came out, ding ding... the ladies didn't move. The guy eating by the restroom came and got the food and placed it on my table. Food was ok, but service, atmosphere, operations and management is non existant. Avoid!!

The food is good, it's a chain but nothing is bad here. I love eating here every once in a while and my kids love picking out their own food. The staff is sweet too. Everyone was helpful and nice!

Croque Monsieur

This is my favorite cafe to visit for years now. However they had it remodeled a few months ago and it's not the same. It's lost its authentic French atmosphere. They used to have food out and you could see what you'd like to get and pick it. Now it's just the menu and you can't see what is available. We came this morning around 10:30 and my family each ordered a meal. I wanted to get Chicken Friand which was not available so I had to get a small yogurt which cost $8. They used to have bread out and you could get as much as you wanted. Now they portion it out, you have to go and ask for it. The lady acted nasty when I asked for bread. The amount I paid to eat here, for 4 people and they are going to have an attitude when I ask for a slice of bread? Just terrible. It's not the same and we will choose another place to eat next time

Great breakfast

Food is great and the coffee is very tasty . Service is nice and is fast The staff is friendly and ambient is very nice and they have good outdoor tables

"Iced coffee"
Steve J.

Used to be one of my favorite lunch spots. They remodeled and lost everything good about the business. Before, the atmosphere was warm and cozy. Now it's just cold and sterile. The Caesar dressing is watery. The soup is not hot enough. My wife asked for an iced coffee, which they forgot. When we got it, it was basically cream with a drop of coffee. This place fell off.

Fresh Fruit Tarte

Ordered a couple fruit tarts and other pastries to eat with my family and they gave me two chocolate tarts instead of two fruit tarts even though they had plenty of fruit tarts.

Follow Tea - Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea

Follow Tea is a bubble tea place my friend and I went to in Metairie, LA. It is spacious inside…read morewith a clean, modern design. One thing that sets Follow Tea apart from other bubble tea places I've been to previously, is that they offer cheese as the foamy part of your tea. They also offer a variety of fruit and milk teas. I was intrigued by the cheese, so I got the Lychee Rose Cheese Tea. This is made using cream cheese, the same type of cheese that cheesecake is made of. This is actually traditionally a Taiwanese method of making bubble tea. My friend got the Passionfruit Tea without the cheese. My Lychee Rose Cheese Tea arrived beautifully presented. The cup was made of sturdy, frosted plastic. On top there were some dried roses. This was so tasty! I loved the flavor, it was subtly sweet, and the cheese provided a slight savory balance. The tiny pieces of lychee were an added chewy bonus. My friend also enjoyed her Passionfruit tea. I wish we had some bubble tea places that offered the cheese foam, here in Connecticut, maybe I'll have to look a bit harder. We had a lovely time at Follow Tea, and enjoyed their tasty products.

Happened upon this place while in the area. It's pretty cute with a minimalist feel on the inside…read more I like to true something I've never had whenever I go to new spots so I opted for a crème brûlée boba milk tea. It's different but good. Has a custard in it so they kind of throws me off but I would order again. The cashier was really helpful.

This French Truck Coffee is a small stand located at the Whole Foods in Metairie, Louisiana. French…read moreTruck Coffee is primarily located in Louisiana and in Memphis, Tennessee. Despite the name, none of the locations are actual trucks, but they are very cute bright yellow brick and mortar locations. I got the first coffee listed on the menu. The New Orleans Iced Coffee with Chicory. Chicory is a root, that is very popular to get in coffee in New Orleans. First, I love the tiny ice cubes used in this coffee. Why doesn't every single coffee shop offer the tiny ice cubes? They keep your drink cold, while they don't take a ton of volume away from your coffee! I love the chicory flavor of this coffee! It's naturally nutty and a tiny bit chocolatey without any syrups. This area at Whole Foods has some yellow bar stools for seating options. If I was in the area I would keep an eye out for French Truck Coffee.

This is located in Whole Foods bakery area. They do have teas for those who do not drink coffee…read more The offer pastries but I feel it may not really be utilized since the location is in the bakery area of Whole Foods. The customer service was good, the staff were friendly. This would be a nice stop after shopper if you just want to sit down for a brief to enjoy coffee and a snack. The oolong Milky tea was what I chose, it was not what I thought it was, it was just a regular tea. The New Ice coffee was okay, not really a special flair to it. The are several other options that I would try next time I visit.
