    Omelet, chilaquiles, basic breakfast
    Alexis P.

    My friends and I had just finished up yoga and wanted a quick bite. We stopped at Madeline's and it was so amazing. Don't let the simplicity of the outside fool you, it is absolutely gorgeous! They have a cute inside seating area, perfect for a meal with friends. You order at the counter and they bring out the food to your table. Everything came out quick, hot, and super yummy! I got the salted caramel cold brew, and I'm still thinking about it. Can't wait to go back!

    Madeleine has opened in a ground floor area of the Los Patios Apartments in Barrio Logan. Unlike its older brethren, the word 'cafe' has been omitted from the business name, however the ownership was the same. Curbside parking on National Ave or a nearby side street was available. The space was more expansive than it looked from the outside. To the right of the service counter was an open courtyard within the interior of the complex that provided on-site seating. It was a relaxing atmosphere with plenty of natural lighting. The two-page menu featured breakfast plates, lunch plates, and drinks. Baked goods and pastries were on display at the service counter. I was passing by the area and wanted a beverage and a dessert. My choices were the French Lemonade and a Passionfruit Cheesecake. The drink was blend of fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and sparkling water topped with a mint sprig. It was sufficiently tart, however the fizzy water detracted. The cheesecake was shaped like a large round tart. The base layer was cheesecake while a passionfruit gelatin made up the top that was adorned by four strawberry slices. The sweet treat looked beautiful and was priced at $10. If I had more time and brought my laptop, then I would have ordered a plate and hung out in the courtyard to do some work. My visit to this newest branch of Madeleine was at a four star level.

    Was in barrio logan on a Saturday morning with some friends and was looking for a place to have brunch and saw Madeline has recently opened. I've been a fan of their north park location and heard their barrio logan location was focused on more mexican-style dishes, which we loved! The vibes of the space were immaculate, beautiful and inviting. The whole space felt really great to see and sit in, loved the color scheme and how airy it was in there. The service was also wonderful, everyone was so nice there. The food was good, though a few dishes were so salt. On one hand, i was like wow these dishes have more seasoning than most places so yessss, but most of us agreed that every breakfast dish felt a bit over salted, especially the spanish omelette. They had just opened though as well so i imagine they'll be adjusting some flavors here and there. The Cubano sandwich though was delicious, hands down fire. stuffed and the fries were crissssp in the best way. wil def come back to try some pastries, and the coffee was great too!

    Stopped by to meet up with a coworker and can report that this is a solid spot to do WFH if you want! As you can see the food looks delicious and there are specific coffees they have here versus their north park location. It does get a bit chilly here and with the open roof concept, it has potential to get a little loud. However it's very cozy and the staff was very warm and inviting. Will come back again to check out more stuff on the menu!

    Cortado & Butter Croissant
    Jack M.

    This is a fairly knew Madeleine location in the Barrio Logan, San Diego. I stopped in a little after 8 am Sunday morning. I wanted one of their famous almond croissants but they were still 30 minutes away from being ready, so I had to settle for a butter croissant. I didn't understand why the baked goods were not ready since they had already been open since 7 am. At any rate, the cortado I ordered was very well made. It was smooth with a rich coffee flavor. On a side note, they use "illy Coffee," a terrific 100% Arabica Coffee. The butter croissant was very good. It was quite buttery, slightly flaky, and soft. It tasted very good. Next time, the almond croissant for sure. The service at the counter was very good. The young gent who made my cortado did a great job. I was disappointed that the pastry and baked goods display was not filled when I visited. It's nice to see all those wonder items in the display. They offer a very good amount of inside seating. Street parking only.

    Tbh the food was a bit salty but it was my kind of salty. Should they pull back a little, yes. The staff are nice, the decoration is great. 5 stars for sure.

    Raspberry Tart

    Stumbled upon this little gem in Barrio Logan after dropping off a Turo rental and I am well pleased I did! Lots of coffee choices I remember growing up with in my own hometown barrio. The service is so friendly and the ambiance is very relaxing and clean. They offer a great selection of wines and pastries, (try the tarts!) along with several breakfast items. I will be back when in the San Diego area!

    First time here and the food was fantastic! Chilaquiles, Breakfast Panini & Nutella Crepe were all very flavorful. I'll definitely be coming back!

    It's great to have this location here in barrio logan now! The vibe and decor is pretty nice, it's within a lobby of a complex. The drinks were good and the food was solid. Got the madaleine omelette and the meile latte. Great place to chill and work away from home!

    Came with a friend and enjoyed the space. Very cute and cozy. Only thing is it's a little breezy but overall cute ambiance. Service is also super friendly.

    We went about 6 weeks ago and loved the original menu and the vibe. The owner chatted with us for a while, which we liked. Also, I appreciate a restaurant with good tea (not everyone wants coffee!) and theirs was so good! We hope to go again soon.

    As a Colombian who has been craving authentic Colombian cuisine since my last visit to New York in…read moreDecember, I can confidently say this restaurant truly satisfied those cravings. Being nearly eight months pregnant, my expectations were especially high, and it is rare to find a place that meets them so well. From the seasoning of the food to the warm and attentive service, everything about this restaurant stands out. Although I don't recall my server's name, he was incredibly kind and provided excellent service throughout. The ambiance is also worth noting--the space is large, offers plenty of seating options, and even features a large TV, making it a great spot to relax or watch sports. To start, I ordered a watered mango juice along with a beef empanada. The empanada exceeded my expectations--despite being on the smaller side, it was packed with flavor. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered five more to go, which speaks for itself. They were served with fresh ají, a traditional sauce that complemented them perfectly. For my main course, I had the carne asada plate, which included steak, rice, beans, sweet plantains, avocado, tomato slices, and a small arepa. Every component of the dish was well-executed--the beans were flavorful, the meat was well-seasoned, and the overall plate felt authentic. It is often difficult to find truly authentic Colombian food, especially in San Diego, where options are limited or not genuinely Colombian. This restaurant, however, delivers on authenticity and flavor. The portion size was generous, and I ended up taking leftovers home to enjoy later. In addition to the empanadas (two chicken and three beef), I also ordered a buñuelo and a cheese arepa to go. Unfortunately, these items did not meet the same standard. The arepa lacked flavor and was overly greasy, and the buñuelo was dry and similarly oily, even after absorbing excess grease from the bag. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for Colombian food, especially given how rare it is to find quality options in this area. Friends of mine visited recently as well and thoroughly enjoyed their bandeja paisa, further confirming the consistency of the food. I will definitely be returning--especially for those empanadas. Como colombiana que ha estado antojándose de comida colombiana auténtica desde mi último viaje a Nueva York en diciembre, puedo decir con confianza que este restaurante realmente cumplió con mis expectativas. Además, estando casi de ocho meses de embarazo, mis expectativas eran aún más altas, y no es fácil encontrar un lugar que las cumpla tan bien. Desde el sazón de la comida hasta el servicio cálido y atento, todo en este restaurante destaca. Aunque no recuerdo el nombre del mesero, fue sumamente amable y atento. un servicio excelente en todo momento. El ambiente también merece mención: el lugar es amplio, y limpio. cuenta con muchas opciones de asientos y tiene una pantalla grande, lo que lo hace ideal para relajarse o ver deportes. Para empezar, pedí un jugo de mango (rebajado con agua) junto con una empanada de carne. La empanada superó mis expectativas; aunque es un poco pequeña, tiene muchísimo sabor. Me gustó tanto que pedí cinco más para llevar, lo cual habla por sí solo. Venían acompañadas de ají fresco, que las complementa perfectamente. Como plato fuerte, pedí la carne asada, que incluía arroz, frijoles, plátano maduro, aguacate, rodajas de tomate y una arepita. Cada componente del plato estaba muy bien logrado: los frijoles tenían un excelente sabor, la carne estaba bien sazonada y jugosa y, en general, el plato se sentía auténtico. Hoy en día es difícil encontrar comida colombiana verdaderamente auténtica, especialmente en San Diego, donde las opciones son limitadas o no lo son del todo. Sin embargo, este restaurante sí cumple con ese nivel de autenticidad y sabor. La porción fue bastante generosa, por lo que terminé llevándome lo que no pude terminar para comer más tarde. Además de las empanadas (dos de pollo y tres de carne), también pedí un buñuelo y una arepa de queso para llevar. Lamentablemente, estos no estuvieron al mismo nivel. La arepa carecía de sabor y estaba grasosa, y el buñuelo estaba seco y también muy aceitoso, incluso después de que la bolsa absorbiera parte de la grasa. En general, recomiendo este restaurante sin duda a cualquiera que esté buscando comida colombiana, especialmente considerando lo difícil que es encontrar buenas opciones en esta área. Unos amigos míos también vinieron recientemente y les encantó su bandeja paisa, lo que confirma la calidad constante del lugar. Definitivamente volveré, especialmente por esas empanadas.

I came during happy hour so I got to try a few appetizers and they all hit. The music playing was on point too. Shoutout to Christian & Morgan, they were both super sweet and attentive. Christian's recs were spot on ! Apps I tried: Papa Rellena de Carne - dangerous for me bc I love these! perfectly fried, crispy outside, soft and creamy inside, super flavorful Croqueta de Pollo - soo good ! crispy and packed w/ flavor the sauces they give you all paired so well with each appetizer! Empanada la Cubanita - 1000/10. perfectly fried, crispy exterior, packed w/ juicy well seasoned pork! the mustard added the perf tangy kick Main dish: I ordered the Ropa Vieja and let me tell you, the meat was cooked to perfection. I'd def order this again! It was tender, juicy and sauced so well. The rice was soft and the beans were a bit simple, they paired well with everything. Drinks: I wanted to try something cultural, so I went with the Malta it's rich, slightly sweet & super unique. Also, threw in a Coco Rico, this was super refreshing. I asked Morgan to bring any coffee and it was smooth and bold such a good way to end my meal. And you have to try the desert ! I didn't catch the name but it was absolutely worth it.

The Cubano sandwich was fire!!! A warm, pressed sandwich blending savory, smoky, and tangy flavors. It featured layered roast pork, glazed ham, Swiss cheese, dill pickles, and yellow mustard, all served on crisp, buttered Cuban bread. The birria empanadas were packed with flavor! The consome was a nice accent to the dish. But the real highlight were the papa rellenas- fried, stuffed croquettes featuring a savory ground beef filling (picadillo) inside a mashed potato shell. They were crispy on the outside, and creamy on the inside! Ridiculously flavorful! Overall, service was excellent! Our server was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable!

Nothing you would get food or drink wise felt it was justified and the food was really plain or didn't taste good. Ambiance was a bit of a mess too since it seemed to try and mix a lot of different themes together which didn't work out too well. I think it was for the best this business moved on. Let a new restaurant take it's place that can do a better job in the night life scene, or try something new and different.
