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!

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.

Chez Pierre French Bakery & Cafe - My #1 favorite pate chaud !!!

Run, run RUNNNN to Chez Pierre French Bakery because they still make the BESTTTT pate chaud (savory…read moreVietnamese puff pastry pie, generously filled with ground pork)! I've tried so many different ones in Texas but very few are even close to the quality and TLC made at Chez Pierre. I can't get enough of the buttery, flaky, golden goodness with each savory bite of pure deliciousness! I pre-order them by the dozen to share with visiting family and friends. Everyone who has tried the pate chaud absolutely LOVESSSS them!!! Take one bite and you'll be hooked for life! And while since you're already here, be sure to grab some deliciously potent Vietnamese iced coffee (cafe sua da) to energize your day. Their Vietnamese sandwiches are legit as well for a quick meal on the go. Have a sweet tooth? Their display is full of the most beautifully crafted and yummy pastries/sweets/etc - pick your guilty pleasure! I like to order their cakes for special occasions. Crowd faves are the fruit chantilly cake or the pandan cake- the cakes are light, airy, and not overly sweet. The Chez Pierre staff are always welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable about all their menu items. I've only had positive experiences and I know you will love them too! This is your reminder to hurry over for the pate chaud- I promise you will thank me later :)

After an exceptional trip to Japan, I've been craving fruit sandos and was lucky to learn about…read moreSweet Handkraft! The strawberry sandos definitely scratched that itch! I decided to try the miso udon carbonara as well since they announced it as a regular menu item. It's so buttery and flavorful, and the udon noodles are perfect. I got the spam musubi just because I hadn't had one in some years, and it was really good. Nostalgia won this time! I'll be back for other sandos and more treats! The menu has so many options!

Pretty legit and great place for the desserts! The customer service honestly varies from great to…read moremeh. The gentleman that was making our drinks didn't really seem like he wanted to be there and wasn't as friendly as the others. We love Asian inspired flavors like pandan and ube and this place had it all! There were so many innovative and unique ice cream flavors like Vietnamese coffee, lychee, pandan coconut, etc. It was a little overwhelming at first because there was just so many desserts and drinks to choose from! They also had cafe drinks and we ordered a few to try! I had the banana pudding matcha latte and it's honestly one of the better matcha lattes I've had. There were scoops of banana pudding in the matcha both on the bottom and top. Each sip had that delicious banana flavor (not artificial) along with the matcha. It wasn't too sweet and banana goes extremely well with the matcha. My SIL had the lavender matcha latte and she enjoyed it as well. Lavender can overpower alot of flavors if not done right and they did it right here! The flavors were balanced well without it being too floral. My husband had the latte with pandan cream foam and what he loved about it was that he can taste the pandan flavor. Pandan is a very light and delicate flavor so it can get a bit muddled with other flavors. I tried it and the pandan's flavor was bold and bright. Mixed with the espresso and milk and it was creamy and delicious. We also got three cookies to try: Vietnamese coffee, ube, and pandan coconut. The cookies were about $5 a pop but they were so worth it! They were all huge and jam stuffed with either chocolate chips, coconut, or white chocolate chips! I am literally still dreaming about the cookies! My favorite cookie was probably the pandan coconut one but the ube and Vietnamese coffee one were close. The Vietnamese coffee cookie was good but the flavor of the coffee could be stronger. I do appreciate how rich and decadent each cookie was and I will absolutely come back just for the cookies haha. They had a bunch of different and unique flavors too! We also got some ice cream to try. My husband had the pandan coconut and SIL got the cream cheese red velvet. They know how to make their ice cream right that's for sure. The flavors were like a punch to your face (in a good way) and we all agreed that they were both delicious. I'm knocking one star off because the service could be a little friendlier. Can't wait to come back and try more desserts off their menu (they had cakes, macarons, etc.).
