Sunday AM. Pick-up Breakfast for Wife: Avacado Toast with Ham. Service for takeout was fast and friendly, but I don't remember any French Cafe Music playing? A perfect ambiance enhancer: Perhaps I'll contribute Edith Piaf's CD including "La vie en rose," to Madame. At any rate, Wife liked the dish with one small exception: the Balsamic Glaze liberally drizzled across the top. I was surprised to find this addition to the dish, but the ingredient is not that unusual for a French Breakfast condiment, given the following "rules:" Use sparingly: A teaspoon or two is enough to brighten flavors without overpowering. Choose quality: Aged balsamic has a sweeter, syrupy texture ideal for fruit; standard balsamic works well for savory dishes. Pairings: Works beautifully with basil, black pepper, honey, ricotta, yogurt, tomatoes, and stone fruits The balsamic did not prevent her from inhailing the dish, nor did it discourage our dog from licking the dish. read more

Sadly they get a 1today due to poor service. Had 2get my own coffee because our waitress was busy ringing up a 2to order while workers stood around eating and talking. Why are they eating at the front of the house? Our meat patty was flavorless and when waitress went back to tell the chef he got angry and she said they don't season it because people have allergies. What? Had to flag them down to get refill on coffee and water but only our waitress could bring us refills. read more

I'm an advocate of small, local businesses and wanted to love this place.... But, it fell short of expectations. My husband and I took a random Monday off work to spend the day together. We stopped by Madame Bistro mid-morning for "brunch." Half the tables were filled, which gave us the impression they were a popular choice in the area. Service was good - friendly & attentive - and food came out quickly. However, the food was mediocre at best. We ordered a few plated entrees from the breakfast menu and a couple of desserts from the bakery display. The execution was ambitious (good presentation & visually appealing), but the tastes and textures left a lot to be desired for the palette. Chicken & Waffle - Extremely dry, dense, and gritty waffle, with chewy, tough chicken tenders in a sweet batter that reminded me a bit of funnel cake mix. I asked our waitress if there might be a sauce or condiment that would pair this dish well (in hopes of adding moisture & flavor), and she brought me sausage gravy. Was not a fan of the gravy, and it offered no improvement to this dish. Croque Madame - I've had this dish at other places and was excited to try it here.... Sunny side egg perfectly cooked, but the bechamel sauce (and possibly the cheese, too) had an overly-sweet & milky taste that too harshly contrasted with the pastrami IMO. Kouign Amann - Have had these pastries elsewhere (they're usually a favorite of mine), but this one was quite different.... and not in a good way. To put it bluntly, it was stale and boring. Tasted like an old croissant topped with simple syrup. Super disappointed with this one. Pistachio cake - Served to us frozen. I asked the waitress if it was supposed to be like an ice cream cake, but she shrugged and said she didn't know, explaining that it was new and they'd only served 2 slices before... I took it home and let it thaw, but it wasn't much better in its softer state. No flavor at all; not even a hint of pistachio. I appreciate the coziness of this little cafe, but unfortunately I don't think I'll be craving anything on their menu again anytime soon. read more

Response to owner: David, I'm genuinely surprised by your response. I went out of my way in my review to compliment your staff, who were kind, attentive, and did their best to help us. My criticism was specifically about the food we were served. I certainly don't need to be "educated" about whether I enjoyed a meal. I described exactly what I experienced: my quiche was heavily browned on the outside, cold in the center, and had a dry, spongy texture. My son's pancakes were doughy and wet inside. Those were our experiences that morning. Regarding the sauce, I said it tasted like curry to me. If it contained no curry, I'm perfectly happy to correct that. I would actually be curious to know what the sauce was. What I will not accept, however, is the suggestion that I deliberately altered photographs to make your food look bad. I did not. The photos were taken at our table during the meal and show the food we were served. I actually ended my review saying that perhaps we would return and give Madame Brioche another chance. Your staff left me with a very positive impression despite our disappointing meal. Unfortunately, your response to a customer giving an honest account of her experience has left a very different impression. Original Review: The people who work here are genuinely lovely. Everyone was attentive, efficient, kind, and friendly. Unfortunately, the food is a different story. I ordered the goat cheese quiche with sweet potatoes on the side. Big mistake. Not necessarily the sweet potatoes themselves, but because I clearly did not understand just how desperately I was going to need something wet on that plate. The quiche arrived looking VERY dark and toasted on top. I took my first bite and somehow discovered the impossible: cold on the inside, almost burnt on the outside. I'm honestly not sure how one achieves both at the same time, but here we are. The texture inside was extremely dry and oddly spongy, almost as if the eggs had been mixed with flour. Had I known what was coming, I would have chosen soup as my side. Or gravy. Or perhaps just a glass of water poured directly over the quiche. I asked our very sweet server if they had some sort of cream, sauce, or anything that could help. He kindly brought me a yellowish sour-cream-looking sauce. Wonderful! Moisture! Then I tasted it. Curry. I was not prepared for this plot twist. At this point, my meal and I had simply lost our connection. I do have to give the servers credit because they were incredibly nice and genuinely tried to accommodate me, but there is only so much anyone can do when a quiche has chosen this path in life. Meanwhile, my son ordered possibly the safest restaurant meal known to mankind: pancakes. Unfortunately, even the pancakes struggled. They seemed undercooked, doughy and wet inside, and came completely alone on a large plate. We ordered scrambled eggs separately, so eventually he had one plate with two lonely pancakes and another little plate with two equally lonely scrambled eggs. I never realized how much presentation mattered until I saw those four lonely breakfast items living on separate plates. The pastries didn't tempt us either. The croissants and pains au chocolat on the shelves looked dry rather than fresh and flaky, and the refrigerated pies looked like they had been waiting patiently for someone to take them home for a while. By the end of the meal, my overwhelming feeling was... thirst. Everything just seemed so dry. It's unfortunate because the staff really was wonderful, and the restaurant itself has so much potential. But the food simply did not match the warmth and quality of the service. Sadly, Madame Brioche will not be seeing us again for a while. Perhaps someday we'll return and give it another chance, but next time, I'm ordering something with sauce. Lots of sauce. read more

I've been to Madame Bridge five or six times trying different items and everything's been delicious. Definitely try their homemade French pastries as they are next best thing to being in Paris. They use French butter in all their pastries that's the big difference in most of the French-American bakeries... The owners are from France and are there seven days a week providing great service and a delicious French breakfast with an inviting atmosphere until 2:00 weekdays and 3:00 on the weekends... read more

Decided to try a second time ....very disappointing. We were 1 of 5 tables at 12, on a Saturday.... not busy! Waiter was very personable, so not on him. Our food was cold, the omelet faired a little better and was somewhat warm. Everything looked good on presentation. Offered to remake, but it took too long on the first round. Second time to try and not impressed! read more

There doesn't seem to be a reservation system, at least not from what I could tell. We came on a Sunday around noon for brunch and were pleasantly surprised. Even though they were packed, the wait was only about five minutes. They offer patio seating, but we chose to sit inside. There's also a display case with pastries available for takeaway, which looked tempting -- but we were in the mood for something more substantial. We ordered the salmon Eggs Benedict and the goat cheese avocado toast. The Eggs Benedict disappeared in under five minutes thanks to my kid -- I didn't even get a bite! But based on how fast it vanished and the enthusiastic review I received from the kiddo, it was clearly delicious. The avocado toast was good as well. Not the best I've ever had, but definitely solid. I was hoping for more of a kick from the chili flakes and spicy honey, but I mainly tasted sweetness without much heat. If the honey isn't bringing that spice as the menu describes, I'd probably skip it next time. The decor inside is cute and cozy, and it has the warm, French welcoming feel of a family-owned business. read more

I would have not known this eatery area existed without an invite and getting past the horrendous construction off 45. Quaint little French bistro adorned in blue and white colors and offering some excellent breakfast options. I opted for the French Way Egg-ceptional just from the offering of 2 soft boiled egg. You got a choice of protein (salmon), avocado, and toasted brioche sticks on the side with one additional side of choice (roasted potatoes). The soft boiled eggs were done perfectly and slid out flawlessly with from their protective shell. The avocado and salmon were delicious and fresh. Add in the carbs (brioche and potatoes) and one full belly commenced. I definitely want to give them another go for their baked offerings. They have weekly specials with Monday being B2G1 on pastries! read more

This place is mid at best. The quiche was cold, and the bacon bits tasted like the cheap ones you get at the store in a small plastic pack. Also, my quiche was supposed to come with shallots. No taste of that anywhere. Also, I ordered an iced cappuccino and it was practically just milk. I had to ask for an extra shot, which they kindly gave us, but still? A cappuccino is pretty simple. Everything I tasted was as if it was heated up in a microwave and not fresh. Lastly, the waitresses are nice, but you have to wave them over multiple times to get their attention as they look distracted at their Apple Watch the entire time. Would not recommend. Try out Paulette Cafe in downtown Conroe. They're always 5/5. Ps- contrary to the manager, our plates were left with food. Wild to lie in response as a manger of a local owned business. In every response you give, you seem to criticize the customers experience, when I don't think it's that hard to make a correct cup of cappuccino and not leave hair in peoples food. But we were nice enough not to mention that in the review. Lastly, the defensiveness from this place speaks for itself. I have never had an experience like this, so I was indeed reluctant to speak up in person. Figured an honest review for other people on this app, how we found this place, would work to maybe have the business reconsider some of their practices. Considering people are saying that same thing. But what do I know! You don't need to be a Michelin star chef to know this food is mid and the owners cannot take constructive criticism well. read more

The first time I had breakfast here, I ordered the French toast and a Nutella latte. I fell in love! The brioche is airy, buttery and just melts in your mouth. The latte was amazing. The welcome hospitality and amazing food have me and my family voting this our favorite breakfast spot. When we found out they created a dinner menu we planned our first meal. The meal began with a dinner roll and we were transported to France. It was so yummy and still warm. We then tried the lamb shank, (a generous portion, so tender and flavorful) the ribeye steak with bone marrow and scalloped potatoes ( perfect potatoes, nice sized, tender steak) and the salmon fillet. Also had several desserts, all amazing but the almond cream crepe is unique and memorable. The best crepe I have ever had. I have tried many things on their menu and all of their pastries. Never disappointed. David and Susan are always welcoming you in with a smile. It is obvious the pride and love they pour into all of their dishes. This bistro is a hidden gem!!! read more

Madame Brioche Bistro - Open for dinner too New hours - French Near Me - Conroe, Texas

We loved Madame Brioche so much the first time, asked my family to join for Sunday brunch on our last day visiting. I first had a bacon omelette and hash browns with gluten free bread. I asked for some cheese on my hash browns but the waitress said she didn't think they did that.... While she was super pleasant and friendly I feel like this isn't that weird of a request and maybe at least could have asked? Hashbrowns a little plain without it; however, The GF bread was DELIGHTFUL!!! The BEST tasting bread I've had. The owner came out and talked to me about it that was so nice of her!! My second breakfast I ordered the GF pancakes with chocolate chips hoping I'd be wowed again. Unfortunately they forgot the chocolate chips and I had to send them back. They were good pancakes but nothing exciting. My whole family enjoyed our meals for the most part, but my dad's potatoes were cold. Probably due to plating before the entree. I have no doubt had he said something at the time they would have made it right. Overall it's a newish restaurant that I would definitely recommend and I will return when back in Texas. Great friendly owners and beautiful open space with that French bistro flare. read more

What a great Thursday morning. Nice date with the wife and her hot dress! We've both been looking forward to our first visit at Madame Brioche Bistro for breakfast. Upon entering MBB you can tell this place is going to be tasty. Walked past the bakery display on my way to a table and all the sweets looked lovely. I'll take them all please! The breakfast and lunch menu looked really good. I'll have to return for the chicken cordon bleu, definitely one of my favorite meals but today I ordered up a western omelette that came with amazing bread and one side, mac n cheese please! Our server Eloise was very helpful and timely. The wife, who is gluten free, had the avocado omelette, and a gluten free bun which was very tasty. Upon leaving I ordered to-go one brioche cinnamon roll. On an end note! The omelettes were extremely tasty. I'm betting the eggs were strained but I'm not sure. They had a very clean and fresh taste. Very impressed with MBB so much so that we booked a reservation for 12 people this Sunday! See you there Yelpstars. read more

I love this place. When my son gets his haircut I try to schedule to come get a cinnamon roll or a pastry as they are the best! Then we had an early appointment so finally came in and sat for breakfast. Best decision! There was not a long wait, the owner/manager (unsure) is so friendly and welcoming to everyone. He had so many regulars. The staff is very nice as well. I loved everything we ordered. My son ordered mac and cheese as his side. I thought that was weird until I tasted it. Best mac and cheese. Ok we have to talk about to the coffee! I got the cafe au lait but gosh the regular coffee is amazing and I will just get that next time. Hard to find good house coffee in a restaurant. The theme is cute make you feel like you in a French bistro. I only have one complaint. The chairs. Ouch I had shorts on and it felt like I was sitting in a plastic lawn chair and digs and leaves marks on your skin. I have to sit on my jacket to be comfortable. Still love the place and can't wait to go back. Coffee and cinnamon roll please! read more

I'm not a breakfast/brunch person, but I am half French! Rarely do I give 5 stars, but my wife had been wanting to take me for a long time and Madame Brioche will not disappoint! Service was outstanding and the owner was present and attentive. It feels like a French bistro, but needs a location that suitable for outdoor seating and people watching to be the perfect European "bistro." French Toast was light, fluffy and tasty, but not overly sweet. Eggs over easy were perfectly done. Having studied the menu, I told my wife I want to come back for brunch/lunch and order the Moule Frites and Croque Madame two classic French bistro item as the ultimate food evaluation for me! read more

We were really looking forward to trying this restaurant and wanted to love it. Unfortunately, our experience was a bit disappointing. We had hoped to order breakfast for dinner, but they don't offer that option. Our waitress wasn't very welcoming, and she forgot to bring our Diet Coke. On the positive side, the salad was fresh and tasty. The cocktails, however, missed the mark for us, and while the crepe tasted okay, it didn't have the appearance or texture we expected from a traditional crepe. Overall, there were a few bright spots, but the experience didn't quite live up to our expectations. read more

I'm a little late on my review and will preface this one with the fact we've already been back since when these pictures were taken. With that said, this place is the real deal! This family run place may take a little bit to get your food out but it's worth it. Remember, good things come to those who wait! My son and I are IN LOVE with their eggs Benedict. Not only have they figured out how to get the perfect poached egg but the hollandaise sauce is the perfect balance. Personally I hate when people put too much lemon in their hollandaise and I tip my hat to the chef here because I now dream of their hollandaise. Did I mention the perfect poached eggs? Next up was the French toast...not too sweet, not soggy but not too dry. Definitely a must try. Finally the ham and cheese omelette, cooked perfectly. Husband was surprised at how much ham, peppers and cheese they put in it. He only was able to finish half of it! I can see this becoming a regular weekend breakfast place for us. read more

It's been on our radar and the name of this place is giving vacation vibe! So we ordered (based on server's recommendation) the sunny side up salmon avo toast and hubby had the bacon omelette...both were decent. Ask for hash brown to be replaced with not well done once coz it was a bit crunchy. There are so many awesome places like this in the Woodlands/conroe area and I glad to give this place a try. I think the best presentation was my iced latte coffee with palmier. Other than that - it's mid! read more

Why 5 stars? Because everything we tried was high quality. --- --- --- I love seeing a place like this in a strip center on 1488. And I loved it even more that the place was really busy the whole time we were here. This is what we tried: French Onion Soup: 5-stars. It's hard to mess up french onion soup, but they indeed did not. This was excellent. Croque Monsieur: 5-stars. To be honest, I was tempted to order something else, but my wife talked me into ordering this because she really wanted to steal a couple bites. I'm glad she did because I really enjoyed it. The only negative is that I gobbled it up too quickly because it's not the biggest portion. Mac-n-Cheese: 4-stars. Solid mac. Not amazing, but not bad. The biggest knock on this whole meal is that it wasn't particularly hot. Grilled Cheese: 4-stars. This was my son's meal, but I definitely consumed plenty of it. Yin Yang Pancakes: 5-stars. The coconut frosting side was out of this world. I actually wish we could order this with only that, rather than the nutella. But the pancakes themselves were absolutely the perfect texture. Some of the best I've ever had in my life. We saw the great reviews piling in for this place and quickly moved it up near to the top of our to-visit list. We see what all the fuss was about and are happy it's here! read more

One of the best breakfast spots around! This spot is relatively new, but I have a feeling it will last. The owners are incredibly friendly and generous. They greet you at the door, explain their story, and then accommodate your seat preferences. The food itself is great. The meals are presentable, relatively large, and simply delicious. Honestly not one food or drink did I not enjoy consuming. The interior is very well kept, making for a very inviting atmosphere. My family and I have already eaten here twice, and I am sure we will be back soon! read more

The restaurant is pretty in the inside but it feels a bit too hot. The service was also a bit slow, I had to ask for the waitress multiple times to take our order, to get coffee and refills, and to get the check. Our waitress would not come by and check on us. I also ordered an iced latte but it came looking like milk. It was too watered down. They need to make the iced lattes without so much milk. I asked them if they could fix it and they said of course but I just got charged for extra shots they added in the coffee which is fine but they should just do it right the first time. The cowboy breakfast was what I ordered and the bacon is alright but the patty is by far my fav thing I got overall. The scrambled eggs were decent but needed more salt. Overall, I may come back sometime for the food but the service could be improved. The owner is a good guy but the service from our waitress was subpar. read more

Very disappointing. I ordered the fried chicken and waffle and the waffle was burnt. The server tried to say that it was just brown until we showed him the bottom. We were offered a new waffle right before leaving. That makes no sense; the offer should have been to remove it from the tab since we mentioned the burnt waffle as soon as it was delivered, were told that it wasn't burnt, then offered a new one later. We also ordered a salmon omelet. Very little flavor and too much tomato. Tasted more like a tomato omelet than a salmon one. Lastly, we are from Nice, France. This restaurant was recommended because the owners are from France and they tend to visit each table. It's always great to speak to someone from our neck of the woods. Unfortunately the owner visited all of our neighbors but never stopped at our table. Oh well! The feeling is mutual. read more
