    I come here from time to time with coworkers to have lunch. I love their tomato bisque soup, is so delicious! Staff here knows me already so it makes it easier to order and everyone is so nice anyways. Anywhere you sit is nice, feels very laid back yet intimate. I also like their French dip sandwich is one of my favorites. Not to mention their tasty pastries accompanied by a nice French roast cup of coffee.

    NEW! Pumpkin Praline Crêpe
    Theron H.

    This was my first time visiting a La Madeleine and it was on a wonderful day. The sun shining made for the inside of the restaurant to have a soft and warm atmosphere especially thanks to the fun woody architecture and the active fireplace. The employees were kind and helpful and the food tasted pretty good. The bathrooms were also clean. I wished there was a little more flavor to the pumpkin French toast as it didn't stand out over a normal French toast but overall it was good. I also wished that they provided more syrup, silverware, and napkins with our dishes. I understand that it was self serve in that way, but the syrup specifically was limited. Overall good experience and I will probably be back.

    No toasted, No Alioli. I was not even asked. Just plain regular bread and burnt bacon and tomato slice. Not enough lettuce and too mu ch Mayo. I wish that someone checks the food whether made it correct or not.

    drip coffee and a cappuccino
    Christine G.

    We've been here for breakfast a couple of times, but this was our first time trying a savory lunch! We opted for the beef Stroganoff crepe and the Croque Madame with a sunny-side-up egg. We also ordered a drip coffee and a cappuccino. Our first impression? The portion sizes were large--very hearty and filling! The beef Stroganoff crepe was really nice. It had the same braised beef and mushrooms both on top and folded inside. The savoriness paired well with the soft, warm crepe, and I especially enjoyed the crispy edges. The sour cream sauce added another layer of flavor, though I think I could have done without it to keep the dish feeling lighter. The Croque Madame was also a big portion! It consisted of two slices of bread with cheese and ham in between, more cheese on top, and a sunny-side-up egg. We hadn't expected the sandwich to be so large--it probably would have been enough for us to share. That said, the generous amount of ham and cheese made it a bit too salty for my taste. I noticed the next day that we had been charged for an extra coffee ($3.49), but unfortunately, it was too late to get a refund. When I returned, the staff explained that order numbers reset daily, making it difficult to track, but they were very friendly and offered me a makeup item worth about $4-$5. I chose the potato galette, which I had been eyeing for a while, and it turned out to be a great choice! The galette was crispy on the outside, with a strong onion and seasoning fragrance in every bite. Given the size of the entrées, it would have been too much food for a meal unless I had only ordered a salad. On its own, the galette seems like a great morning item, but it also would have been too much for me had I ordered it along with a pastry for breakfast. I'm extremely happy I got to try it!

    I'm still a very happy patron of this location. My meals are always beautiful and at the right temperature. Vegetables are fresh. Bakery items are suitably soft or creamy or crunchy. The restaurant is typically clean, and of course, there is plenty of parking available on both sides of the restaurant. Ordering from the app is also consistently successful. I recommend this location.

    Dark Cherry & Greek Yogurt Danish
    Christian R.

    My wife and I came in on a Sunday for brunch, probably around 10:30/11 AM. There wasn't a wait and the restaurant wasn't too busy so we were able to order and find a table to sit at. Ambiance was nice as most of these restaurants are, nothing out of the ordinary. Always love the French teachings over the speakers in the restrooms, super cool! To eat, I ordered the Breakfast Croissant Sandwich: scrambled eggs with bacon and cheddar on a butter croissant with a side of fresh fruit! In addition to the sandwich we ordered a Dark Cherry and Yogurt Danish. The sandwich was much smaller than I thought it would be--like tiny. I was pretty disappointed, but still ate it. I'd recommend ordering two if you're hungry. The bread was soft and flaky and the small amount of egg and bacon inside it was good too. The plus was definitely the Danish! It was delicious!! Hadn't been here in forever, and probably won't be back for another long while, but if you're in the area, why not?

    Turkey Holiday Meal
    Chanel M.

    We ordered a couple of their holiday plates for Thanksgiving. We got both the ham and turkey options which were delicious. For sides, we tried the mashed potatoes, broccoli, stuffing and green beans. They all weren't that bad, however, I really didn't care for their stuffing. Something about the taste and the apples I didn't like. Both plates came with a small cup of cranberry sauce and mushroom sauce. I absolutely love the taste of their mushroom sauce so we got an extra cup of it. Overall, the plates were a cheap option over the holidays for a nice, festive meal.

    Chicken Salade Croissant
    Edgar R.

    If you are looking for a quick breakfast place with decent food this is your spot. Especially, when other restaurants have over an hour wait for brunch. Food: 4/5: Food is pretty good. I love getting their tomato basil soup. I also ordered their chicken salad croissant because I saw a picture of it on the menu. Sadly it didn't come with the salad that was pictured. Decent croissant sandwich. Service: 4/5 Staff was friendly and we didn't wait long to get our food.

    Spinach Quiche
    Johnny L.

    By default, my go to lunch / dinner has always been Honest Mary's every time I come to Trader Joes for a grocery run but I wanted to try something different today and found la Madeleine just a few minutes away. This place has so much character! I love the layout of the restaurant and really appreciate the uniforms that the staff wears. Everything feels really authentic I feel like I've walked into a portal and ended up in Europe somewhere. On to the food: Chicken la Madeleine - balsamic-marinated chicken topped with creamy wild mushroom sauce with side of broccoli and rice. The chicken breast tastes surprising soft and pairs really well with the wild mushroom sauce! The mushroom sauce has a strong flavor but not so strong that it's overpowering the meal. The rice could be done better as it is kind of mushy. The broccoli has no seasoning at all but my tip is to dip that broccoli into the mushroom sauce or completely submerge it into the Cream of Mushroom soup! Then it just tastes amazing! Cream of Mushroom - This soup has great flavors and is one of the best I've tried. Take that side of broccoli and dip in the soup for a great creamy vegetable experience! Quiche Florentine (spinach) - This quiche here is the highlight of the meal. The inside of the quiche is super fluffy and seasoned very well. The sides have the right crisp and I think this was baked to perfection. I've had some bad experiences with quiches in Austin area because it's always so salty but this one here is just right! Classic Strawberry Napoleon - This dessert is very flaky and I recommend just grabbing it by hand with the paper wrapped around it and bite it rather than use any utensils. I think it tastes just ok. It's not too sweet but I removed the top layer of white sugary topping. The staff forgot some items while I was eating but she was very apologetic about it and all is forgiven. I'll definitely come back to try other items on the menu.

    Nick!

My friend got the Croissant Scramble with brisket. The presentation of the croissants when brought to the table blew me away. It was wrapped up in the cutest paper with the ends twisted. The topic of conversation was how good the croissants were. Before we left, we ordered some delicious cookies. The chocolate chips were yummy. So I went the following day and grabbed some pastries! One in particular was the Pecan Bar. The following week, another friend and I stopped in for the Chicken Pesto Omelet. I like that the fire-roasted bell peppers and onions are cooked, if that's the right word. But l have to tell you, the Mexican Hot Chocolate drink brings on the flavor, as does the ice-cold Mocha. Of course, we got the Pecan Bar for dessert. So yes, I went back yesterday for the Almond Croissant. I know, I know!

    RE: Business owner information General Manager…read more Business Manager Jul 17, 2026 Hi Paul, Thank you for your detailed feedback. While we're glad you joined us, I'm sorry to hear your breakfast experience didn't meet expectations. We'll be reviewing your comments with our culinary team to improve consistency. We appreciate you giving us a try and hope to provide a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Wes Brown It's great to receive a response from the business manager regarding our experience at their restaurant, but all four us thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. We had absolutely no complaints regarding our dining experience. Caroline is affiliated with the Marriott Element and Aloft hotels and that, I believe, where the affiliation ends. I try to avoid hotel eateries but I've had great dining experiences at hotels like the JW Marriott in Austin. We, four, stopped by on a Sunday AM for breakfast and we had a great time. They do have brunch cocktails available and their bloody Mary's were deemed excellent with just the right amount of spice. My bloody Maria was on point and we all got our Sunday Funday started. Breakfast was wonderful. Our eggs arrived cooked perfectly. The pepper bacon and real potato sides were off the charts delicious. They also offer a few TexMex breakfast options and Plus one was raving about her Huevos Rancheros plate. Service was excellent even though they became busy our server was very attentive. Pro tip: Sat and Sun AMs if you arrive early you can easily score a table.

    This bakery seriously might have the best cookies in Austin. Perfect texture, rich flavor, and…read moresomehow always fresh and satisfying every single time. Definitely one of those places that keeps you thinking about the cookie long after you leave. Everything else in the bakery also looks amazing, but the cookies are absolutely the star of the show. One important thing to note for first-time visitors: be very careful with parking. The lot next door apparently boots cars almost immediately if they see you park there and walk toward the bakery. It's not the bakery's fault, but it's definitely something customers should be aware of before visiting. Parking headache aside, this place is 100% worth the trip.

Wow, that was a bold claim! I finally got the opportunity to try ThoroughBread cookies and they were quite yummy. These cookies are like no other cookies I have eaten. I got the chocolate chip cookies with pecans. They had the texture of gingerbread cookies and were huge. They were gooey in the middle, perfectly crisp on the outside, and rich without being eye-squinting sweet. The chocolate chip cookies had welcoming textures and flavors. In addition, my server was kind and patient as I made my selection. You could taste the quality of ingredients, and each mouthful was progressively delicious. Definitely try Thoroughbread cookies for yourself. You're in for a treat.
