We love this quaint local spot and were excited to try it when our favorite neighborhood cake maker…read morewas overbooked. In the end, we left both impressed and a little bummed by the experience -- impressed by the reliable execution and beautiful presentation, but missing some of the warmth and guidance that make a custom cake feel truly bespoke. The cream cheese frosting was excellent, and seeing our daughter's face when she saw her chess cake was a highlight of the day. The orange olive oil cake itself was fine -- not dry, but not especially moist or memorable -- and the decorative buttercream was greasy enough that most of it went uneaten. The process was very self-service and entirely email-driven, and at this price point (~$170 after tax and delivery), some additional guidance on flavors, sizing, and design choices would have been appreciated. It's understandable that they choose not to maintain a phone line for custom cake orders, but that choice inevitably shapes the customer experience. Overall, this was a dependable and efficient option that delivered a lovely-looking cake, but the experience felt closer to a polished, high-volume cake operation than an artisan custom bakery experience. We'll definitely continue to stop by for coffee though -- and we still love the back patio.

I've been a regular at Miss Madeleine's for the past three years. In fact, Miss Madeleine's, in my…read morehumble opinion, has the best croissants in the city - a city, mind you, that is not short on French bakeries. To place this boulangerie among the top is a grand statement indeed, and I stand by it. Miss Madeleine consistently churns out freshly baked goods that you can smell half a block away. If you're lucky, you may arrive on a day when the bread baskets are being filled with items fresh from the oven, which was the case on my last visit. I come here for my favorite treat from the menu: the ham and cheese croissant. Flaky on the outside yet soft and custardy on the inside, cheese light and melty slathered all over the tender sliver of ham. Warm, of course, having been pulled out not too long ago from the oven. I've tried other goods from this shop, including the leek and chives pastry that is packed full of flavor, and a slice of pistachio cake, also delicious and not too sweet. Miss Madeleine is a neighborhood favorite, and it will soon be yours if you give it a chance.

We tried a new Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood and decided to try Figo for dessert; they opened a year or so ago and I've been hearing good things about it. So - yes, they made me an excellent decaf affogato with stracciatella gelato, so I was happier than a pig in the mud, lol. They sell a cup with 2 flavors, so my husband had that. He chose a chocolate with nuts in it, and a cherry vanilla kind of flavor that the scooper advised him has "a little alcohol in it, not a lot, is that okay?" Sure, why not. He said both were very good! Lived up to the hype, we'll be back!

Ricotta cheese, figs, and amaretti. Yum!
