This is probably one of my favorite places to indulge, especially for breakfast. However, this location was less than optimal. I ordered an American Breakfast with the Cinnamon French Toast and my girlfriend ordered a spinach omelet. Our food came out wrong! My girlfriend's food didn't come out at all! After four attempts we were finally able to eat. My french toast was burned and the fruit that accompanied it was wilted. It was absolutely terrible! I will not come back. This experience turned our breakfast date to one that we'll never forget, and not in a positive light. read more

Today the fam decided on La Madeline and it's probably one of those restaurants that'll never fail you but this time we tried their new Prov chicken and rice bowel and I hate to say this... but that most likely won't be popular. Other than that the unlimited bread always soothes the soul. Oh and the atmosphere :) read more

I love this place! Been coming here for years! Food is always stellar and the pastry options are plentiful and tasty. The only thing I would like to mention is that it looks like the air vents could use a good cleaning. I know living in Texas, this is a must...I just happened to look up and they caught my eye. Will continue to go back as always! read more

Nice and dimly lit ... fireplace cracking.. makes you feel all warm and toasty ... quick service and fresh foods

Yes the food is good food made me feel good I wasn't sick at all I had a great time and enjoyed the food was fresh excellent service is different but it's nice French place I had the salmon and rice with the wonderful green beans and iced tea it was just great the lemon cake dessert I suggest you go there whenever you can it's very nice I had a great time it was 13 of us it was a birthday party it was so much fun thank you so much for letting the report David Bryant merchant real estate company read more

Always a fan. Even if it's just to sit in nice cool AC with some refreshing lemonade and daydreaming while looking out at the Baybrook traffic. read more

I dont know why this place is so popular, but it is. When you enter theres no place to stand while you look at the menu without being in someone's way. Then you have to place your order at the beginning of the line, again in the middle as they make your selections, and again as you finally pay. Its cafeteria style only you make your selection before you see what they offer. They were out of the mushroom soup so I chose the potato soup with my salad sampler. I wont do that again as it had the consistency of watered down instant mashed potatoes. I also had the chicken salad which tasted real good but was awfully dry. The strawberry spinach salad was perfect. I got some free bread for my chicken salad and made an open faced sandwich. I thought I was real clever. The restaurant is small and there are so many chairs and tables packed in there it feels like youre all one big family because you cant help but hear everyones conversations. I went early to beat the crowd, but I guess theres no off time. I would return as I thought my meal was a good value, but it wont be soon. read more

I didn't realize this place was so popular! We waited in a huge line before ordering. I was confused because although we put in our order at the start we had to repeat our order to at least three more people in the line. Seems unnecessary. After we got our food we then had to wait in a line to get our drinks and silverware. Then the ultimate challenge- getting to our seat. The tables and chairs are so close at this restaraunt I had to try multiple routes to get through the maze without dropping my tray! Even after being seated I was so close to the person next to me that when they held their baby it was literally less than a foot from my head as it cried. Unnecessary. The restaraunt is packed, and extremely loud. The food is good though. The mushroom soup was a treat. The Caesar salad was good- although midway through I found a huge lettuce butt. What on earth? Why is this stub in my salad? Then as I moved on to my sandwich what do I know but I have a tomato butt! Listen, the toppings on the sandwich are so minimal I'm pretty sure it shouldn't go without notice that you're putting a tomato butt on there. Since I had barely any other tomato I ripped off the bad part and kept eating. The picture shows what I picked off my food. My meal was small enough that I shouldn't have had this much trash in it. The flavor is good but why do I need to inspect it so closely? The chicken salad was very good and the croissant was fresh. All in all I liked the food here and I will be back. However I wouldn't come here and expect a good conversation-it's too loud and everyone would hear! read more

la Madeleine - Why did both things I ordered have vegetable cores in it? - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Webster, Texas

Manny was great, and the food was awesome!!! We had a complicated order, and it was perfect. I wanted to upload a pic, but couldn't figure out how to do it. read more

Quel dommage! We could really use a good French restaurant in Clear Lake. La Madeline is typically a decent chain or used to be. But the Bay Area location can't seem to get it right. Maybe the silverware is all dirty. Or If the silverware is clean, the coffee is cold. If the coffee is hot AND you have a clean spoon to stir it with, your toasted sandwich is raw. Or half of your order is wrong and then, when they come back with that part corrected, the stuff they had right in the first place is cold. Or someone at your table is completely forgotten and has to go up and remind the cashier of their existence. The bakery itself is good. That's what the stars are for. read more

This is a good little bakery/cafe with great food. I aways enjoy getting soup and sandwiches from here and they have a lot of good bakery items as well. The almond croissants and blueberry muffins are the best!! I will always return here if i want a quick simple lunch! read more

I came here for breakfast while visiting family and the experience/food was horrible! Searching for a healthy option, I ordered the oatmeal and with strawberries and blueberries and a coffee. The oatmeal was clumpy, dry and cold. I was also told they didn't have any nonfat milk for the coffee (when they have always had it previously) and I'd have to use half and half. The staff was extremely rude and unhelpful. Sad for being one of my favorite places in the past. read more

Waited for 10 minutes for service and never acknowledged. Good looked ok but staff was more interested in their personal conversations. Walked out and wrote review. Two others followed me out the door. Tables filled with dirty dishes throughout the restaurant and outside. read more

Great french style food. Am not sure it is more Italian or french. But food is great. Sandwiches are awesome. Roast beef sandwich is the killer. read more

Microwaved bacon, poached eggs that taste like bleach and oily limp croissant that no self respecting french person would deign to wipe their bum on. Vile. read more

I dont like salty french onion soup nor hard crust with my quiche florentine and fruit tart.

Though you can't enjoy the sit-down experience during COVID-19 days, this location has definitely made sure their food is excellent as ever. Love the waffles!! The people who run this location are always super nice and welcoming. Much appreciated!! read more

My wife and I have been eating at la Madeline for many years at locations all over Houston. We have always been pleased with the quality and unique menu options. Last Friday afternoon my wife had been shopping around Baybrook and decided to stop and get takeout for our dinner. Our order was terrible. She ordered one la Madeline pasta with chicken and she ordered the pesto chicken pasta. When she got home and we opened the containers, both were la Madeline pasta, sorta. The quality was terrible. The chicken looked like leftovers at the bottom of the pot and the sauce was watery. We won't be back read more

We had a very good breakfast with four generations of our family. There were menu selections that pleased all ages. Our grandkids had French toast loaded with fruit, three of us had omelets, and the others had the American breakfast; everyone seemed pleased with their food items. My only complaint is that the place is a bit overcrowded with tables because they're trying to maximize the use of space, but it made getting my Dad's walker through the maze a little difficult. read more

Needs new management perhaps? Food was delish...restaurant was filthy. I can find good food at other places and eat in a clean environment. Hope they clean up their act! read more

la Madeleine - Trash on floor...abandoned to-go box - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Webster, Texas

These guys must be under new-not-as-competent management. The line was long because the cashier was not taking care of customers; instead, she was fiddling with "stuff" around her. Finally, I blurted out what I wanted, and she just looked at me. I had to ask another person down the line for that same item again. Won't be back there for awhile. read more

Quiche and crepes are great and all but I just don't see the draw this place has. My husband likes it so we go about twice a year. LOL. I've never had a bad meal. However this place doesn't excite my taste buds. I always have trouble picking out what I want because none of the choices interest me. Oh well. Wah, wah. read more

We all know that La Madeleine serves the same food at all locations. I like it fine. The only reason i single this one out is because of red peppers in the spinach salad. I hate any bell pepper. Red, green, yellow and any other color variety. I'm not the person that makes a big deal. I make a valiant effort to pick them out. I am pretty good at picking at my food. A skill I've honed since childhood. It was quite a challenge today since this is the only location I've visited to mince the red peppers. read more

I tried to add la madeleine to my breakfast outing rotation, but sadly I cannot. I just didn't like my food. My eggs were rubbery and they didn't add my requested cheese. The French toast reminded me of a honey bun which I run from whenever possible. My sausage was good, but I left feeling like I was ripped off. My food didn't leave me planning for my next visit. There is plenty of seating which is nice. I'll return for lunch, but I don't plan on ever doing breakfast with them in this lifetime. read more

I went in here for a sandwich and soup couldn't even get up to go get a drink come back someone wiped off my table another family was sitting at my table then I would've had to wait in line to get my same food never again do I come back to this place! Geez let your customer finish their lunch! Food is good of what I had of it. Was gone maybe a minute ridiculous!!! read more

The food is okay I guess but don't even think about trying to eat here. They've crammed so very many tables in the floor space that you will constantly be getting kicked, elbowed, jostled as the waitstaff moves around. Conversation in this "cafe" is impossible due to being packed in like sardines. This place is a complete no-go for me until they expand or at least ditch enough tables to create paths again. read more

Chicken Friand is AMAZING! After a long of car shopping(see my reviews to feel my pain) this hit the spot. it is perfect crispy, creamy goodness! My mom got the pick 2, sandwich and salad and that was super fresh! Service was great no hidden costs...lol They also took my money unlike the car dealer I dealt with! I cant wait to go back! read more

Wow, what a disappointment! After waiting in line, the employee at the head of the line went off to prepackage strawberries, leaving without acknowledging me. The salad preparer was nice enough to help me. I ordered the cafe sampler. The quiche was placed on a very warm plate (good), then the salad was placed on the same plate (bad). In order to get the cup of soup, I had to ask a group of employees congregated at the register for someone to wait on me. I can't tell how much I enjoyed my wilted caesar salad, served by employees who missed the customer service training. Save your money! read more

I guess I'm a little partial to this place, as it is where my husband and I had our first little "date", but it is a good sit down spot for breakfast. It is a little pricey, and has pretty decent food. I just think it would be more worth it if people brought the food to you. Panera is cheaper and they do that. All in all not bad. read more

Enjoyed the warm fire, fresh bread, and the crepes. Never sure what to order, but I never leave disappointed in my meal. It is a bit packed. Needs more room. read more

Great place for quick lunch and dinner. The Duet Magnifique is worth the price. Tomato Basil soup is one of the main reasons I come here, it's very good. It can get a little loud and crowded in the ordering area as well as the dining area, but other than that I have no complaints and enjoy my meals here. read more

If you feel like wasting your money on a substance not fit to give a dog then in my opinion by all means enjoy this place. The food is horrible along with awful service. The service I received made me feel like I was inconveniencing them. I waited over 30 min for horrible inedible food (food used loosely). I reach out to them with pictures and no response at all. In my opinion, not receiving a response is clear indication they know the problem and choose to ignore it. read more

Horrible customer service....no one greeted me when I walked in. I stood in line for a while with no acknowledgement and a couple behind me was greeted and met with hand shakes and tended to immediately...while I was still waiting!! I have never had such horrible customer service as I did and the server had a horrible attitude. Will not return again...a 1 is all they get because I had to but a negative 1 is more appropriate read more

I really like this place for lunch. Sandwiches are good. I love their chicken salad on croissant. The pasta salad is good. I had the sandwich platter for my daughters baby shower and it was fabulous. It came with huge bowl of pasta salad. read more

Always quality food that is cooked properly and quite delicious. I have been to several locations, but my favorite is on Bay Area Blvd near Clear Lake. You order at one register, grab a tray, look at additional options available to compliment your order as you slide along to the pay register. You get your own silverware, napkins, drink and fresh french bread before finding a seat. Once seated, you can munch on delicious bread before they bring your food to you cooked to order. I highly recommend the French Breakfast, but lunch and dinner are delicious as well! read more

Just beware if you're used to coming here but haven't been in awhile the Duet Magnifique is gone and it's basically the same price (salad and sandwich) for less food (no additional side). And if you want to add a soup it's an additional charge. It's always about the money but they were never hurting for business when I was there so it sucks that this is how they changed their menu. read more

Went there for breakfast this morning. Everything I ordered was lukewarm right down to the cup of coffee. Quiche was nothing special, potato gallette was nothing special and the ham & cheese danish was nothing special. Won't be back there for breakfast. Plenty of other good breakfast places around. My wallet suffered a $12.00 hit for mediocre food. The food looked good, but very bland read more

The food is homemade and fresh, more importantly delicious. Their desserts and bread are amazing too. Only downsides are the prices and ordering process. La Madeline is still a great place for dinner with family and friends. read more

I've been going to this location a few times a month for the past 2 years. Obsessed with their chicken caesar salad and all their pastries and desserts! 4 stars because service can be hit or miss. I think they go through employees pretty quickly. read more

La Madeline is one of my favorite places to go for breakfast or lunch. They have excellent staff and their food is exquisite. My favorite part about this place is the quiche. The quiche is so good that I have dreams about eating one of those quiches in the morning. They are seriously good! read more
