Where else can you drink excellent bottomless coffee with cream, get bottomless French bread with 2 kinds of jams, hear a French couple argue about saucisson at the next table, and pay $2.99? In all seriousness, just for that reason I like La Madeleine created by a fellow French man in Houston. Bravo Monsieur ! In addition, the tomato basil soup and a few other staple dishes never disappoint. Is it really French? Non monsieur, but it remains a good choice! read more

la Madeleine - As requested, leaving a 5 star review. - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

this place took way too long and they didn't know what they were doing. I spent my entire lunch break waiting

Ordered a pasta with salmon. This was not French food by any stretch of the imagination. I threw it out after forcing a few bites. I'm from NY. If you escape here and eat in metro NYC, London, and even Prague, you will see how bad so many restaurants are in Austin. read more

This place has really, really gone downhill, grossly understaffed. Phoned in an order and waited over 30 minutes because they had no chicken friands ready (while everything else sat in the bag and got cold). Last time, we didn't realize items were missing from our order until we got home. read more

I like La Madeleine's croissant and desserts and always order and enjoy them but I ordered a croissant today and it tasted like a store bought boxed croissant nothing like it used to be and i was so disappointed. Hopefully, it was one time and they can go back to the quality they offered before. read more

Highly disappointed. Staff RUDE! Ordered an "oven baked" sandwich and French onion soup. Soup was Luke warm. Cheese did not even melt. Waited 15 min and finally asked where my food was. It was marked as a to go sand which, which now is obviously cold. I tried to speak to a manager - too busy. Wow, really. Sandwich was COLD and soggy. Very disappointed read more

Why did you remove the Chicken Pasta La Madeleine from the menu? I went to La Madeleine this last weekend with my boyfriend, I grabbed the menu and I saw the Chicken Pasta La Madeleine so I ordered and they brought me the Chicken pesto la Madeleine, the manager came and told me they don't sell it anymore!! So why do you still have it on the menu?! I only go to this restaurant so I can eat this pasta but I guess not anymore :( read more

I'm never disappointed when I go to eat here at the Madeleine, the tomato & basil is delicious & luckily I can find it in the RGV in a bottle But at the Restaurant, the staff are always Pleasant which says a lot about the Staff, I always enjoy coming to the Madeleine! read more

It's Lockdown, and I received two happy greetings, a bonjour and a hellooooo with a wave. Dillan went overboard by opening a linzer pack so I can purchase a sweet single and gave me a discount. Their water cups are huge. I requested some spinach in my pesto pasta and it was so perfect (and photogenic, too), and not too salty or too garlicky. The bread that comes with the dish tasted very good and is sprinkled with sea salt! Perfect for this dish! It is cool, clean and nicely decorated here. The French music isn't too loud. I wold like to see a tipping option for credit card tender, otherwise I would definitely come back. read more

Pardon my French, but that was a damn good sandwich. My wife came in on Saturday afternoon to have lunch and really enjoyed our time here. I order the croque monsieur and my wife ordered the tomato soup/ quiche florentine. My sandwich was really good, covered with toasty cheese and filled with really good ham. I had some of my wife's tomato soup and it was fantastic, i dipped the bread they offer in the soup and it was great. We finished the meal with a piece of the coconut cake and a heart shaped cookie, fantastic the both of them. read more

Medium quality food with high quality prices just go to another place it's not that cheap salads look okay but the entrees lack any flavor the pasta was horrible and the bread was so stale just not overall good read more

Delicious pastry and bread, coffee is great too and the service is fantastic. I am sad they closed the location next to the Round Rock outlets. I love their fruit tart and lemon pie. The onion soup is fantastic as well as the tomato basil soup and all their salads. Healthy and delicious eating! Can't go wrong. Try it if you haven't! ...and the new pastry chef is fantastic! read more

la Madeleine - Delicious selection of desserts... couldn't settle for one... - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Not sure what has happened to this location. Food was as good as I remember it, but the staff are incredibly rude. Also, cold coffee in the self-serve carafe. First Issue: We ordered two eclairs. The woman looked dead at me and said "What?". I replied "Two eclairs, please". Again, the dead-eyed stare. Again "What?". I pointed at the eclairs again and said "Two please". Her response? "FINE", with as much acid as she could muster. Second issue: After filling coffee, my hands were full so turned to set the eclairs and coffee on a table right in front of the area where the cashier stand is. Before i can set the stuff down, cashier guys says LOUDLY "Hey you gotta pay for that". I'm literally setting down my stuff right in front of him and pulling out my wallet. Dude. Eff you! We got to the table. Coffee was cold so we hurriedly ate our eclairs and bailed the EFF out. Never to return. Been going here since it opened. Haven't been in a couple of years. At 11 AM the place was deserted. Should have been our first clue. Bye, bye Maddy! I'll miss the soup. read more

Accidentally found the best dark chocolate cake here. The chocolate cake was just a rich blend of cocoa and cranberry and just the right amount of sweet! Been looking for this kinda cake for a while and found it here. The strawberry nepolean was delicious. read more

Such a bummer. We Haven't visited in years and now will stay away. Build your own baguette was some sad lunch meat turkey, a stone cold slice of cheddar, and lettuce/tomato/mayo that were supposed to be held. I have rarely seen a sandwich less appetizing. Except maybe the croque monsieur, which had the correct ingredients but the bread was not only not toasted/grilled, it was soggy, mushy, and uncooked. The salmon dinner was "halfway decent" accordingly to my husband whose food standards are pretty low. Desserts - eclair and chocolate mousse - were just okay. I really really do not like leaving bad reviews. It sounds like whining. But I was so hungry and the meal was so disappointing that I can't help myself. Also when I went in to pick up the food, the owner/manager was at the register. Sitting Right next to the register was a woman who was loudly coughing up a junky lung nom-stop And not covering her mouth. It really put me off my appetite. I I know that's not the owner's fault, but that combined with the freezing temperature in the restaurant, and the unpleasant food just really sealed the deal for me to never return. read more

My girlfriend and I had been wanting to try for quite some time, we planned to come for brunch although I'm not sure if they had a specialty menu for it. I wasn't quite expecting the layout that this place had, which was a cafe/bakery style, I was thinking it was more of a sit down restaurant, but still very pleased and liked the unique experience. The guy that was at the front counter was kind to walk us through the experience and told me if I didn't like my meal they'd let me choose another option. Other than him most the other workers spoke very broken English and it was hard to communicate. My girlfriend got a build your own salad and was quickly upset about the amount of dairy free and ended up having to change orders multiple time. I on the other hand got the Chicken Crepe Riviera and it exceeded expectations. Very good and relatively feeing. I will probably return in the future! Also make sure you use the get upside app to get 15% cash back on your order! read more

My first delivery order and was disappointed. I got the chicken la madeleine. The rice, mashed potatoes and soup was good. But the chicken was horrible. Balsamic marinade? Tasteless and looked like it was added from last week's food, as an afterthought. I won't order again. read more

Most certainly one of the best place for sugar lowers. If you are on a weight loss program - stay away. :) Nice selection, fast service, good quality for the price, better coffee than in most places. Cons - damn, gaining weight way to fast :) Good place to have a cup of coffee, deserts, salads, and a conversation with friends. read more

Wow. This is my 2nd time visiting this location. I recently moved from 2222 and today, the lid was off the pepper and I poured pepper all over my food. I tried to eat it, but it was unbearable. I showed the Mgr. and she immediatley said noo problem, we can make you a whole new plate. So nice and kind she understood what happened and resolved it. Thank you. you made my day. I tried to eat the peppered plate really.. but it was just too much. read more

The quality of the food is amazing for the price. Everyone is super nice. Sat next to the fire place and it made me happy. The french dip was the tits!! read more

La Madeleine used to have a good roasted vegetable sandwich but it has been removed from the latest revision of the menu. With that, the menu has become quite poor in vegetarian selections. The half sandwich half soup combo used to be my staple here. I ordered the pesto pasta without the chicken, which was good. In the past I've enjoyed their tomato basil soup and their coffee. Wish they had more for herbivores like me though. read more

la Madeleine - Coconut Cream Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

I can't even tell you how many times I have eaten at this place. It started with their pastries. I used to come for a Napoleon once a month but since they only have strawberry napoleons now I changed to Ann's cake. Oh, then they stopped the Ann's cake so a switch to Sacher torte. I graduated to their breakfasts. A quiche or a spinach pocket with a cup of coffee was the usual. A quick stay here before the office was for their Bran muffins. The next step was their American breakfast with eggs, bacon, a croissant and a slice of tomato. Moving on to their lunch and dinners, I have tried their sandwiches and pasta dishes. Don't even get me started on their Tomato Bisque soup, heavenly. I have never had any bad food at La Madeleines. The employees have always been helpful. Why did I stop coming here so often? The prices got higher and portions got smaller but mostly the food calorie counts. Yes, their dishes are wonderfully flavored with fat and lots of it. The moral of the story is I still visit sporadically but it is not on my regular go to places. read more

I haven't been here in a long time, and I'm disappointed. I got the salad sampler, and the server got my caesar out of a bowl that was already mixed up instead of the fresh one in the case, and it was flavorless with mushy croutons. The soup and strawberries romanoff were good. Server was rude and bossy. It wasn't busy. Lots of dirty tables. I bused a table so I could sit. Not OK. read more

Met a friend there on a Sunday at 6p. I'm giving 2 stars because at least the staff wore masks and gloves. We both had a taste for the Friand. But no! They were out. Darn. So we each settled on the quiche. I ordered a cup of french onion soup, too. The guy asked if I wanted cheese and did I want bread... well, ummm.., yes - it's french onion soup! Very few diners so we chose to eat in. Apparently no one buses tables at this place. And you can't get a soup spoon. To top it off, the soup was so cold the cheese wouldn't melt. The quiche was lukewarm. This place is truly not the spot to spend a risky meal out. read more

Everything we ordered was quite good - cream of mushroom, potato soup, ham & swiss crepes, quinoa salad, made to order omelette, and fudge brownie. The prices are reasonable as well, will definitely visit again read more

Their coconut cream cake is one of the best things you'll ever put in your mouth of course unless you don't like coconut....it is to die for! read more

Freshness each bite but if you want to lose weight, make sure to get away from their tomato basil... which by the way would be extremely difficult. My sister and I took my nephews here for a Saturday brunch. We ordered: -Spicy Moroccan Salmon: Moroccan spiced salmon fillet over kale and quinoa with mediterranean vegetables. I really liked this dish because I am a fan of Mediterranean food. The salmon wasn't overwhelmed by the spiced and kale plus quinoa made it a guilty-free choice. -French Dip au Caramelized Onions: Premium roast beef with caramelized onions, melted provolone and homemade horseradish sauce baked on a baguette. I was amazed by how not salty it was! My experiences with other French Dips made me wanted to drink all the water in the restaurant. Flavor was totally balanced with horseradish sauce that I actually tried to drink it to make sure I had the right order. -Apple Cinnamon Crpe: with cinnamon roasted apples, fresh yogurt and granola. This is in the kid menu but my 2yr and 7yr old nephews ate all our adult food. I do like the fact that they use fresh apples and slightly roasted with cinnamon. Very healthy choice. I guess I have to thank my nephews ate all my food so I could taste this one. lol -Turkey & Brie: Smoked turkey, caramelized apples & onions, Brie & goat cheese baked on a ciabatta roll. I didn't even get a chance to even taste it because the 7yr old finished it in a second. Judging by the way he ate, I would said it was a very good choice. -Tomato Basil: no need to explain, one of their most popular items and it is amazingly good! Each bite is the path to your heaviness and you can't say no to it. It is so hard to dislike this place. The food is fresh, people are friendly and the ambiance is just relaxing. read more

I went in my lunch to eat the Cashier doesn't have clue of anything she looked lost the whole time and she never give ups heads up about the wait time so our food took more than 30 to came out that was the worst customer service ever please don't go read more

Got this through door dash actually . I probably never would not have heard of this place if it didn't pop up during a search for food while I was at work. Was trying to eat a little healthier than another burger so I got their chicken sandwich with a side soup. Wouldn't have given it much thought otherwise but it really surprised me how delicious it was. It was so simple but it was very good. read more

This is one of our favorite places for breakfast, especially with groups. Everything is good, though some of the best things aren't available until after 10:30 am. So when we come in at 8 am, I often have to settle for an omelet or a crepe. Actually, that's not so bad! read more

For so many reasons I want to give this business a 5+++. Food-amazing! Ambiance- amazing! Selection- amazing! My husband took me for my first time ever two weeks ago and omg!!! Everything was amazing- we spent $100 easy... all the praises for my new addiction. EXCEPT for the "manager" or whatever she calls herself. I've never disliked a business based on a single employee more. She treated me so awful my husband complained. I chalked it up to a rough day in the restaurant business... been there more times than I can count! Bad day, I get it. My husband has been back twice for takeout since, and complained about her. Today, we went in for dessert (spent $50 gladly) and the employees were so warm and inviting. Lovely! I go to get my tea and come back and my husband is dealing with this horrible woman- she was openly RUDE to her employees in front of customers, treating them like dog shit. She was mad we used a $100 bill and mad the employee finally gave us all 5's in change after asking said "manager" twice to get her change. She made me hate even getting takeout from la Mad. Fire this woman please.... read more

I ordered a chicken Caesar salad and a bowl of French onion soup via their app... What I got was so below standard... the salad had wilted lettuce, some chicken (not shaved like i have had at their Dallas locations) and croutons. There were 2 holders for salad dressing but they were only filled ¼ full. So I had to add my own dressing. There was no grated cheese in the salad. The soup was worse. It was brown, very salty broth with onions. No toasted bread. No cheese. I should have made my own. La Madeleine does not need to worry about the pandemic-their own poor quality food will put them out of business. read more

Years ago we used to come here often like once a week, either after school sweets or weekend brunch. We stopped coming here every since I found a piece of hair in my cold pasta severing. Since pandemic, I thought to give it a try again. Few things had changed here, you could still get your own fountain drinks, coffee but there's no bottle of half&half, skin milk, instead some cheap individual creamer you can find at 3 star motels. Bread slices and jams were bagged in paper bags and were given out when you asked the cashier, but you never know what's in it until you opened it realized it's wheat bread but you wanted a white..... but bakery was still good, we got some dessert to go at the end. Staffs are wearing gloves to serve and clean.... but I'm not sure when and how often they change them... read more

Not only was the food outstanding but Dustin was very polite and went above and beyond great customer service. We came in 15 minutes before close and had traveled from out of town. Dustin treated us as if we were the first customers of the day. Even though they were getting ready to close, he went out of his way to help us with anything we ordered and even made suggestions. My got sick and Dustin and the Manager were very helpful helping us get her to the car. You don't see customer service like this very often! Definitely will come back! read more
