    Lipstick marks
    Sally K.

    The food was ok. Ambiance was ok too until the bus lady started talking nonstop and very loudly to a friend right behind us, for a long time. Then I wanted to take the first sip of my water and I noticed lipstick marks on the edge of my glass..(I wasn't wearing lipstick)! That was gross.

    French Dip au Caramelized Onions - just mediocre in flavor
    Linda B.

    I ordered through Uber Eats and the food was just all right. Nothing great but just all right. The service was a bit slow and it took a while to get to my house because the Uber driver took a while to get to my house and the food was a bit cold so I had to reheat everything. I will not be ordering from here again.

    Linzer Cookies
    Liz R.

    I've been meaning to try La Madeleine since I first discovered it and I just so happened to be in the mood for a coffee and something sweet and remembered that I was close to it so decided to pop in. Definitely a little confusing when you walk in as you're not really sure where to go or where to stand for both dining in and takeout but I promptly figured it out. I ordered a few baked goods to go and a small cold brew and let me tell you that the coffee was DELICIOUS as were both the palmier and the linzer cookie ... literally had to stop myself from eating them all because they were that good! I'll definitely be back to dine in and try lunch.

    FOOD We ordered a whole Chicken Parisien sandwich to-go, and it was ready within fifteen minutes. It was delicious-- the chicken, bacon, mayo, and cheddar meshed well wonderfully together with a rich, umami taste. La Madeleine is one of our favorite places to visit for fast casual dining, and it lives up to our expectations every time! (Especially their bakery items that are great for get-togethers or parties) SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly. There are two different counters to order-- one for dining in (left) and one for carry-out (right). AMBIANCE There are a variety of tables available throughout the store for 2s, 4s, and more. The decor is neatly organized and fits the theme. PARKING There is ample parking available in the lot in front of the establishment that is shared with neighboring stores.

    Sitting area

    Wanted to grab something quick on my work break and liked the menu offerings. I was not disappointed. The restaurant is a cross between a cafeteria style/bakery ordering and a cozy rustic atmosphere, with lots of seating in different rooms that make it feel more private and personal away from other crowds. The employees were super kind and gave me recommendations on dinner choices. I got the croque monsieur and seasonal chicken salad and both were delicious and exactly what I was looking for. The pricing was affordable. And the bakery still had dessert options despite being 1 hour to close. I really liked this place for my first time there, will definitely be back as there were so many options on their menu and bakery that I wanted to try. Definitely recommend.

    There is no coffee in this latte for sure
    Celina S.

    I came here to get a iced latte with almond milk and one pump of sugar-free vanilla and I walked out with us and they insisted that they put coffee in it, but there is no coffee in here overall the vibe was really weird and I would like for the business to correct us because I know sometimes are tough but it's also unacceptable

    This food was disgusting ordered a Nutella crepe no Nutella and it was terrible and 13 dollars please never go here

    This food is terrible I went here for a Nutella crepe and I got first no Nutella and took a long time and over priced truly terrible

    Cashier and buffet-type section
    Jackie J.

    A little unorganized. Staff was not very helpful to us first-timers - even after we said we didn't know how this worked. Maybe we just caught the wrong shift, or they're so used to regulars they don't reach out to ask if help is needed, or they are just tired of their jobs... ‍ That being said, I loved the decor. It felt like a cozy, warm, "underground" cafe with a touch of library/study tones which invited one to sit and linger - alone, maybe to read while eating; or with friends, to chat and visit over comforting food... And we loved the food. The eggs, where applicable, were light and fluffy. The dishes flavourful, and the dish selection was varied. This was also where the not knowing how this place worked kind of bit us. What I ordered was apparently on the "cafeteria line" and therefore was given to me immediately at the cash register after paying. My husband's meal was made to order, so it came out to our table a good bit later. If I wanted to eat my food hot, I had to start eating right away while my husband sat and waited for his food. Or, I could wait for him and then eat my food cold. I don't understand, their knowing his food would take a bit longer, (and the fact we were together) why they didn't just wait and bring all our food out together when his was ready. Is this a French Cafe thing I just don't about? We would definitely come back for the food and atmosphere. The staff? We would hope to encounter a more friendly, helpful group the next time around...

    Table crumbs
    Jay P.

    Let me start with a positIve: this is one of my favorite local breakfast spots; it has a good ambience and great prices (better than most competitors). However, this place is dirty. The tables are not clean and are filled with crumbs, as the windows, too. Also, customer service especially from the gentlemen who's takes the food orders in the morning is terrible; he's unfriendly, hard to understand, and doesn't seem to care to be there. He is off putting. Also, the food and drink/coffee temperature aren't hot. Yes, this place can get busy and have a high volume of people (after 9am), and that might be a reasoning for the accumulated dirt, lukewarm food and testy service, but if the restaurant is serious about improving and holding it to its brand, changes need to be made such as: + Hire more employees so they're not spread too thin + Replace the gentlemen at the front who's taking food orders in the morning with someone who's happy to be there, positive and, inviting. This gentlemen is the first opinion and introduction to the restaurant and his lack of interest, care, and unfriendly attitude spoils the experience of the place from the get go. + Lastly, have a routine and scheduled clean ups. Perhaps with additional (quality) hires these changes can be made, but until then, this place needs work. * Because I care about the uniqueness of La Madeleine I write this 2nd (stronger) review. I've included pictures as examples, too. If changes are made, I'll be happy to remove this review, but until then, this my assessment.

    Sooo good. I love to have breakfast and croissants here, service is nice. The atmosphere is very good. It gives a feeling like being in France.

    Their cute to-go cups!

    We ordered for delivery, and the food was excellent as expected. The delivery worked nicely, considering we were staying at a nearby hotel.

    Hopefully you get lucky . Do not go at lunch on weekends. Over toasted, overcooked, bland. A waste of money.

    This place is a lovely spot! My friend and I first stumbled upon it while trying to find a cafe to…read moresit and catch up, and I loved it so much I dragged my husband back at a later date. The decor makes you think of what you'd find at an eccentric great aunt's home, but in a positive way. Each area has its own mini aesthetic that contributes to the entire place; in the back are color themed books that give it a more serious look, while upstairs is more whimsical in it's random assortment of chairs and couches. The food is in appealing display cases downstairs. The stand out pastries for me are the tiramisu filled cronuts. Drinks wise, they have the typical cafe fare but excitingly so they also have Colombe on draft which I will always be excited about. I recommend this place to grab a snack and socialize!

First of all, it's such a cute spot, the attention to detail alone makes it worth visiting. The music is always on point (and not too loud), so it's perfect if you want to study or get some work done. They also have outdoor seating, plus a not-so-secret second floor where you can usually find a cozy spot. I've ordered cakes from here multiple times, and they're incredibly smooth and not overly sweet, and honestly, it's hard to go back to typical American cakes after trying these. Everything just feels thoughtfully made. The service is just as impressive, everyone seems really knowledgeable about the menu and genuinely willing to help you decide on the perfect order (especially if you're indecisive like me). I wish I had taken more photos from all the times I've been, but that probably says enough. You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu.

The Brownie double chocolate cookie is hands-down my favorite and tastes like a fudgy brownie. The dark chocolate chips just melt! The Classic Chocolate Chip cookie was a bit too sweet and tastes like a sugar cookie with chocolate chips. I wasn't a fan of the Cookies and Cream Oreo cookie. The Cina-Cookie tastes like a buttery Snickerdoodle cookie with cream cheese filling. The Birthday Bash cookie was fun to try, but quite sweet and loaded with sugar. Highly recommend warming up the cookies in the microwave for 20-30 sec, they soften up and taste like they were just baked with that delicious ooey gooey texture. The chocolate chips just melt in your mouth! If you get delivery, the cookies are stone cold. Delivery takes 2-3 days after placing an order, even local shipping takes a full day. While it was fun to try the 4 pack of cookies with delivery, it was just too much and I was on a serious sugar overload. It would be nice to have an option to only get a set of 2 cookies with delivery. The cookies just don't taste as good cold even with reheating and it's better just to get the cookies at the shop. Will stop by for the Chocoholic double chocolate when I'm in the area. Happy to support this small NOVA business!

    PLEASE NOTE: This was for nationwide shipping…read more It had been a while since I had ordered from MidnighTreats, but after a 36 hour snowstorm the winter blues had officially settled into my soul and I needed a little pick-me-up. Important reminders: each MidnighTreats cookie weighs over 1/3 pound! They're enormous, and for sure big enough to split (... to share, sure, or just to enjoy yourself later; they even recommend cutting them in half before freezing them [if they last that long]). PRO TIP: you *have* to reheat them before eating them (otherwise the flavor/taste/texture just isn't the same). Build your own box for currently $30 ($20 plus $10ish for shipping), and some of the flavors change each month. We've tried... + Birthday Bash (funfetti rainbow sprinkles cookie): personally, I like the nostalgic flavor of generic "birthday cake" that's recently become a thing, and I think they do a fantastic job capturing it! + Strawberry Shortcake (shortcake cookie smothered in strawberry icing): This was the taste of summer I needed. So bright! Just the right amount of sweet! And they definitely didn't hold back on the icing! +/- The Classic (a blend of dark and semi-sweet chocolate chips): compared to other vegan chocolate chip cookies that can be shipped to your home, this one's actually one of the better ones! +/- The Chocoholic (fudgy double chocolate chip cookie): you have to REALLY, REALLY like/be craving chocolate for this one. - Cookies N Cream (oreo bits with chocolate chips and vanilla chips): this one was just okay, and I take the blame for missing that it contained white chocolate chips which I am not a fan of. It says they're vanilla, but that's not what they taste like to me. - The Cinna-Roll: I believe the recipe for this one has changed over the years, because it used to be a cinnamon roll flavored cookie with cream in the center (and there was *barely* any of it, making it a very dry, very boring cookie). It seems it's now a cinnamon roll cookie smothered in vanilla icing, so I just wanted to make sure I had corrected info here. Other things of note: they've donated thousands of dollars to animal sanctuaries across the country! they've planted close to 20K trees with reforestation projects! they've donated thousands to local schools and shelters in their NOVA community! How can you not love a company who's built in giving back to their community in their core principles?!

    Recently, we were in Sterling and decided to pick up some "bundtlets" from the Nothing Bundt Cakes…read morethat is there. It literally had been years since we bought any. We had them later that evening and we were quite impressed with them. They were moist and flavorful. In fact, we think they had improved since we last tried them. Since we liked them so much, we decided to visit the store in Herndon and get some more. The "server" (that's what the sales clerks are called) in Sterling gave me a punch card when I bought the cakes there so I remembered to use it at the Herndon store. My first impression of the Herndon place was very positive. It was very clean and well laid out. To me, it had a very welcoming vibe. The server, Katerine, was very friendly, patient and helpful. She let me know that since I was buying at least 4 bundtlets, I would get a free insulated bag that held up to 6 bundtlets. I ended up buying 3 lemon ones, 2 red velvet and 1 classic vanilla. She was sure to update my punch card. Then she told me that if I filled out a survey that was mentioned on the receipt, I would get a coupon for 1 free bundtlet. Once I was home, I did just that. Also, I signed up for their "eClub" which gives you a free bundtlet on your birthday. All in all, a great shopping experience that had me leaving with a smile on my face. The bundtlets here are just as good as the ones in Sterling. So...it goes without saying that we'll be back for more!

    This was amazing!! Almost pound cake like flavor but still very light cake. Delicious but a little…read moresweet icing. First time having but won't be the last! We will definitely grab another in future. I can't comment on service or location because my friend picked it up.
