Visited La Madeleine in Plano recently and had a very pleasant dining experience. It's one of those reliable spots that consistently delivers a good meal in a cozy, casual setting. I opted for the Trio, which is always a great value. I got the Croque Monsieur, which was perfectly grilled with melty cheese and savory ham, along with the Pasta Salad. The pasta salad was fresh and flavorful, a nice lighter counterpoint to the sandwich. My companion went for the Chicken Friand, and they were very happy with their choice - a flaky pastry filled with creamy chicken goodness. The food came out quickly, and everything was fresh and well-prepared, just what you expect from La Madeleine. The self-serve bread and jam are always a nice touch, too! The atmosphere is consistently warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal with friends or family. It's a great spot if you're looking for something a bit different from your standard fast-casual, with a touch of French country charm. My only reason for not giving it five stars is that it's a chain, so it lacks that unique local flair, but for what it is, it's excellent. We'll definitely be back! read more

I can't believe it's been 7 years! Time for an update and this is the perfect challenge for LaMadeline. Guy H is not cooking for Thanksgiving this year! I know shocking. So,I needed a reasonable facsimile Thanksgiving meal that was inexpensive,easy and satisfying. I'm happy to report all criteria were satisfied as was my cravings for, turkey, dressing, cranberry and desert. The generous slices of turkey breast smothered in subtly seasoned mushroom gravy was perfect. Apple stuffing was unique and delicious accompanied by almond tomato topped haricots verts. Add the complimentary soft sourdough slices and polish it off with lemon and chocolate tarts and bam...done. I hope everyone has their own special version of Thanksgiving to kick off this holiday season.. Thanks LaMadeline read more

la Madeleine - Cafes Near Me - Plano, Texas

My first time at a La Madeleine- which all my Texan colleagues found pretty amusing. Fast casual. Nice attention to detail in decor and atmosphere. Warm and cozy. The menu was limited, but fresh. Salads made fresh, to order. You walk through a cafeteria line to pick your foods as you go, then seat yourself. The staff was very helpful throughout ordering process. Also someone was in the dining room keeping it clean. Very good service indeed. Both good food and good service, I highly recommend this La Madeline location in Plano, TX. read more

Mrs wrote this on a business trip. Early lunch. Steady flow of people. I ordered the Soup and salad. you could do 2 soups & 1 salad or 1 soup and 2 small salads. I opted for the 2 soups. Baked potato & tomato basil, very tasty. My salad was spinach. It was colorful (you know we eat with our eyes first ) it had fresh  strawberries crushed  walnuts, crumble cheese, I believe feta , w/ bacon I added salmon and there was a vinaigrette on top .there was an up charge for the salmon . .for a light lunch this hits the spot. I could barely get through all of this food read more

Love this place I've been coming here on Saturday mornings for breakfast as an escape from my day-to-day work schedule. It's a great place. The ambience is wonderful. Food is very consistent. Excellent people and service is top-notch. Great food selection . I'm very fussy about how I spend my time but this place is very special if you haven't tried it try you won't regret it read more

Love this location! Great service, atmosphere, and food. Great rewards program too. One of our favorite places to go.

There is false advertising at this La Madeleine. On the front window they have "For Limited Time Only. Pick 3 for $8.99 Your choice of ANY half sandwich, side and beverage. All day, every day." I thought "that is a good deal!" My daughter and I selected 3 things but when she looked at the receipt, it was $6 more. She returned to the counter to ask why and was told "we don't half chicken salad sandwiches and the tiny bowl of tomato soup is not included!" Now I am fairly sure I understand the meaning of the word "any" as anyone else would. The wording of Pick 3, your choice and ANY!!! DOES NOT BELONG ON THIS ADVERT IN THE FRONT WINDOW. I will be contacting the FTC and BBB to have this advertisement removed from their window. And, I won't be eating there anytime soon.​ read more

Chaotic setup, as you stand in line to order, and line area is short, going out the front door in some cases. Very loud, food was marginal. Won't return. read more

Bad food, lady doesn't take down orders properly, food is bad, food quantity has reduced but not the prices , decor change looks like a wall barrier and dull interior poor lighting , wonder how long they can keep this up. Make sure you ask for bread and jelly it's not free for the helping unlike the old days.. but it's free if you ask. Bright spot! read more

We eat at many La Madeleine locations. Our favorite location is on 15th Street east of Central Expressway. The food has always been fresh and tasted great. The salad sampler and cafe sampler are my family's favorite items. All the employees have been extremely friendly and greet everyone with a genuine smile. The decor is typical of a French bistro and the fireplace is perfect during the winter. read more

While in line to get pastries, the lady in front of us ordered a mini lemon tart but they gave her a mini fruit tart. She came back and told the worker and he gave her the lemon tart then TOOK THE MINI FRUIT TART BACK AND PUT IT BACK IN THE FRIDGE W THE OTHER PASTRIES TO BE SOLD. This really grossed me out as we are living during a pandemic... who knows if the lady had touched it or had other people touch it. For this reason I am giving this place 1 star. I am going to rate each individual item i ordered. Overall it would have been a 3/5 probably which isn't all that stellar and is really being carried by the lemon tart. Ordered the Chocolate Croissant, Lemon Tart, Avocado Toast, and Breakfast Croissant Sandwich Chocolate Croissant - 2/5 it was very average. i wouldn't recommend it Lemon Tart - 5/5 this is amazing!! the texture was spot on for everything. the curd was perfectly tart, it made me want to make a batch for myself at home! Avocado Toast - 3/5 It was alright, there was a decent amount of avocado on it. I was surprised that it didn't come with an egg, every other place where i've ordered avocado toast came with two runny eggs, but this was much cheaper than those places. I wish i knew there wasn't gonna be an egg so i could have ordered it! Breakfast Croissant Sandwich - 3/5 It was decent. the eggs and cheese didn't add much flavor and the croissant was flat and not crispy. but the overall flavor was ok. read more

la Madeleine - a blue plate with a pastry on it - Cafes Near Me - Plano, Texas

If I could give zero stars I would. Manager today was bordering On rude. The Caesar salad with chicken is not the same. Cold Pre done chicken as gross. If you want extra dressing he informed me was extra. Really ? Salad is expensive and walked through the line with tray is cumbersome. I was informed they will never display the bread again and you don't get it unless you ask. When I got home the bread was stale. So I'm sure it has been in wrapper for more than a day. Stay away. read more

La Madeline is a great place! They offer breakfast items, soup, the tomato basil , salads, cold and hot sandwiches, pasta, baked goods and more. You can place an order at the "to go" counter or stand in a cafeteria type line and order as go, some items are prepped on the spot, others are brought to your table. My personal favorite is the chicken salad on a croissant and the Sacher cake, it's so good! It's a cute little place with lovely decor, large seating area however if you go during lunch time it gets pretty crowded. Prices after decent and staff is usually quit friendly. Sign up for their reward program, you'll get special treats every now and then! read more

Requested poached eggs, "I don't know what those are," " ask the chef please ( standing right behind her)" "we can't do that". " OK, I'll have fried eggs. " what is that?" "You know sunny side up, fried eggs, just regular eggs" "OK" and she took my payment . 2 minutes later while getting my coffee " we can't make those eggs, ". " what kind of eggs can you make????" " over easy, over medium, scrambled." " that's it?" " I don't really know eggs let me ask the cook" " no that's ok, I'll have scrambled" All fine by me. I understand. Tough getting experience people, I get it. Then I noticed neither "cook" is wearing a mask. Really? This place is surreal, French cafe? 25 years ago yes, now not worth stopping here for a (watered down French) coffee . Farewell Madeline! read more

In A Nutshell: -La Madeleine Country French Cafe is a chain of French-inspired sit-down restaurants scattered around the deep south. -Think about that for a second, you find yourself in Texas, land of BBQ's & rodeos, yet you are yearning for some good ole' French cuisine. -Luckily for you La Madeleine exists to satisfy your cravings. -Order the quiche!! -Their French menu is very legit, after visiting France, you can't tell any difference between the food. Overall, this is the perfect place to grab some rich & flavorful food. Bon appetit! read more

I was pretty impressed with La Madeleine. I ordered through Uber Eats and my order was, a Fruit Tart, Scrambled Egg, Cheese and Bacon Croissant, Yogurt Parfait and a Quiche. It all arrived perfectly. The quality of the food was excellent. I particularly loved the Fruit Tart & Parfait. I have never tasted a Parfait so good. I definitely will visit the restaurant in person soon. read more

Great food, nice menu selection, comfortable environment. Something for everyone to enjoy here. Nice selection of beverages and coffees. The deserts are amazing. The staff is courteous and friendly and the bathrooms are clean. Plenty of seating inside as well as an out door extension of the restaurant. Plenty of parking in a well lit parking lot. Food is reasonably priced. read more

A young man helped me with my order. I could tell he was brand new which was not the issue. I noticed that I had been overcharged by $10 for my soups. When I approached Margie L, I explained to her the issue. She looked at my as if I was crazy and could not comprehend that I was overcharged. I pointed to the menu and explained, the soups should have only been charged $1.29 for the substitute. She didn't seem to understand. She still looked as if she was confused. As she was fixing my bill and having to refund the difference, she then called her co-worker over to berate him in front of me. She said, "you overcharged her big time". He didn't mean to and I explained to him that it was a simple and honest mistake. Next time, when you want to coach your co-worker, do so in a professional manner and not in front it the client. If it is done in front of the client, use it as a coaching moment. I probably won't come back to this location. My sandwich was gross anyways. I ordered the chicken pesto. Expected so much more flavor and it is dry. Absolutely dry. Written with compassion to deliver feedback to employees, Jasmine read more

la Madeleine - Where's the sauce? - Cafes Near Me - Plano, Texas

I've been coming to this place for a while for their delicious potato galette topped with cream of mushroom and their bomb caesar salad every time - but this time, I wanted to pick something different. So I went with pesto pasta and y'all, when the plate came to the table, I was impressed with this powerful aromatic smell of pesto and roasted garlic coming out of it. It was very creamy, yet light and while the pesto sauce gave that strong herby saltiness, the tomato was a fabulous touch to give that sweetness in every bite - Only thing I wish I could make it different if it the pasta were to be in fettuccine style. But it was a fantastic dish - I'll be coming back for these two bomb dishes and hope they continue to be consistent to excel these foods. read more

la Madeleine - I love when my school spoiled us with la Madeleine delicious food! - Cafes Near Me - Plano, Texas

Not operating smoothly at 7pm on a Saturday. Despite being mostly empty, this location had a almost none of their food ready. They had no quiches out and I watched the French onion soup be refilled from a plastic bin once I ordered it. Husband ordered a sandwich and I was completely done eating my meal by the time his food finally came. I had a reward for a chocolate croissant and was served one cold with no offer to rewarm. I also overheard seceral people saying the coffee was cold. The patio was a mess too, with wrappers etc blown all over. read more

Very rude employees. We came here for my daughter's birthday, party of 9. While we were waiting on my son an employee came over to tell us that we needed to order or they were going to close the kitchen. We arrived an hour and fifteen minutes before closing time. When we went to order they kept saying they were out of everything we wanted. The manager was not concerned with her employees behavior towards customers. This place use to be amazing with customer service but has gone down hill the last two years. We took our business elsewhere. read more

la Madeleine - Salad Sampler: Strawberry & Bacon Spinach Salad. Tomato Basil Soup. Pesto Pasta Salad - Cafes Near Me - Plano, Texas

I use to eat here like twice a week because it was affordable and the food is always delicious but they've raised the prices so much, the Cafe sampler use to be $10 and now it's $14 with tax and that's not even including a tip and the pesto pasta with chicken use to be $11 and now it's $16. Like that's an insane price increase. Its just not practical for me to eat here anymore. I'd rather go to an actual restaurant and be served for those prices instead of lunch line style with a tray and you have to get your own drinks and silverware. It's too bad I really did use to love coming here but inflation and corporate greed have ruined most small joys in life. read more

Great food as always. I will continue to come back to this location. The atmosphere is very nic and welcoming.

Not a good experience today. Horrible customer service with their new ordering process, which we were not familiar with as it's our first time coming back here since reopening. Prices have gone up as well (see attached receipt). We used to get the chicken salad that came with chips and a side, however now they charge $1.29 for chips and $2.99 for soup!! Wouldn't mind paying for the soup AS LONG AS ITS HOT!!! Not hot at all and staff were too consumed with other issues to address that one. Good grief we won't be returning. read more

la Madeleine - American Breakfast - Cafes Near Me - Plano, Texas

I visited La Madeleine for the first time in several years. Used to go to the one in downtown Dallas to get their Cesar salad with chicken. Tried that again and it seems like the recipe has changed. They used to have the chicken in little foil containers that would be put on the salad when you ordered it (was always nice and warm), but this trip it seemed like the chicken was different and pre-made and chilled. The Cesar dressing also tasted a bit bland this visit. Maybe I just had an off meal and will try it again. Historically it has been the best Cesar around! read more
