The service here is always a cut above. Yes it's a chain, but in my mind I group it as a better fast casual chain, with in some respects even better quality ingredients and seating. Their coffees are great, especially the French Roast and Mochas. Their baguette is likely the most underrated in Metro Atlanta. I enjoy dining on their French Dip and Roasted Turkey sandwiches as well as their Holiday Feast whenever it's available in November and December. They staff are all seasoned and must have been there for many years. This is a true rarity in the industry. I enjoy the great care that they offer their customers. I'm here frequently. read more

Me and some friends wanted a quick bite on this place was super packed for lunch. The ambience felt like a cute little French café. The service was good, but you can absolutely see that they're trying their best and they were slammed. The food was pretty decent. It's nothing that you would crave and go back again for. It's not a bad little spot to go eat. I think I would enjoy it more if I just grabbed a coffee and a book and a table outside. read more

Sad day for Madeline. They got rid of their sea salt baguette and instead replaced with a croissant I asked about it and they said that, indeed, the sea salt baguette has been discontinued. La Madeline is dead to me read more

Calm and welcoming atmosphere, the front staff were so nice and my sandwich was really good, I think the fruit salads need to be stored in different containers tho, my cantaloupe at the bottom was a bit off read more

After passing by la Madeleine soooo many times we finally decided to stop by for a late lunch. The food is OKAY. It taste good, but it's just not fresh. Service is okay as well. Not much interaction with staff other than ordering food in the counter, then they deliver to your table but service could be better. We tried: Chicken Cordon Bleu Baked Pasta: Gruyere, white cheddar and Parmesan cheese sauce over penne, chicken and diced ham. The better one out of the two entrees we tried, at least served hot. Balsamic Glazed Salmon: Balsamic-glazed salmon with rice Provençal and steamed broccoli. Tasted okay, rice was mushy and unfortunately served cold. Strawberry Nutella Crêpe: Strawberries and cream topped with drizzled Nutella, shaved chocolate and whipped cream. Definitely the best thing we had here! The restaurant itself looks really nice and clean, and theres plenty of parking! ESPAÑOL Después de pasar por La Madeleine tantas veces, finalmente decidimos pasar a almorzar aquí. La comida es mas o menos. Tiene buen sabor, pero no es fresca. El servicio también es mas o menos. No hay mucha interacción con el personal, aparte de pedir comida en el mostrador y que luego te la traigan a la mesa, pero el servicio podría ser mejor. Probamos: Pasta al horno con pollo y cordon bleu: salsa de queso gruyere, cheddar blanco y parmesano sobre penne, pollo y jamón en cubitos. El mejor de los dos platos principales que probamos, al menos se sirve caliente. Salmón glaseado con balsámico: salmón glaseado con balsámico con arroz provenzal y brócoli al vapor. El sabor estaba bien, el arroz estaba blando y, lamentablemente, estaba super frío. Crêpe de Nutella y fresas: fresas y crema cubiertas con Nutella rociada, chocolate rallado y crema batida. Definitivamente lo mejor que comimos aquí! El restaurante en sí parece muy bonito y limpio, y hay mucho espacio para estacionar! read more

I've driven past La Madeleine and it's always caught my attention so this morning I decided to check it out, The food here was good! It's very basic nothing too fancy! I give it a 3 not because it wasn't good just bc I most likely will not come back. They gave me my salad at the register and my food came out about 20 mins after The ambiance is nice in here it's very French read more

Terrible cooking today. Their highly rated French toast came looking like it was made by a child. Really heavy on the eggs, soggy, and not tasteful. Will NOT be ordering from here again. read more

The food was amazing, the service was quick and snappy, and their assistance with ordering deserts was perfect.

Not bad, but is it truly a French restaurant, no. It's basically the Panera of French cuisine, but I'm okay with it. The croque monsieur was in need of more ham and cheese, the flavor was there but the contents were scarce. The coconut cream cake was delicious and the salad had way too much dressing. Ordered the French dip to go and they forgot the au jus, which made it a very dry ordeal. The service was fast and their workers are really friendly though. read more

My family and I love this place! Every time we come in, we are greeted! Today, we were greeted by Emily and Gabby. The ambiance of the place is very nice , relaxing, and comforting, especially with the fireplace. It's very inviting. The foods taste delicious! I love their cranberry and pecan salad! All their soups are super declious! We came, and Elijah, the manager, and Mac also greeted us! They were intentional, and the customer service here is absolutely amazing! We drove from Athens just to eat here today. It's definitely a must visit when you are in the Mall of Ga area! Can't wait to come back! read more

I was tempted to try the blueberry cheesecake crepe, but it was a little too early for that. The service was good. Similar to Panera Bread, you get in line to order and take a number to sit down. The food will be brought out to you. We come here time to time typically for their coffee more than the meals. read more

la Madeleine - Chicken la Madeleine with a large cafe latte. Healthy brunch option. The broccoli was bland - Cafes Near Me - Buford, Georgia

Stopped by here for a quick breakfast with friends before catching our flight home. Breakfasts run about $14 per person.. well with coffee. I enjoyed the layout of ordering your food at a counter and then having it brought out to you once ready. This way you don't have to additionally wait for a waiter to take your order in the first place. I ordered a palmier, which are commonly known to us as elephant ears and was handed it at the counter along with empty coffee cups to fill ourselves as a separate station. That elephant ear was light and flaky, sweet and delicious. Speaking of those four things, so was the croissant that came with your meal. Coffee was decent considering the specialty coffee machine was out of order...I could have gone for a latte. I ordered the Country French Breakfast - Two eggs cooked-to-order (I got scrambled), Potato Galette, bacon or sausage & a butter croissant. Actually I ordered two of these, one for my husband as well. One was supposed to have bacon, the other sausage. When they both came out with sausage, it was no bother and we just kept it. As another reviewer mentioned, you could tell the scrambled eggs were scooped out of a previously cooked container, not made-to-order as it said they would be. I don't know what the hell was in that potato galette, but it was absolutely delicious. All in all, this was a great spot for breakfast and the perfect send off from our trip down south. read more

It has a relatively low rating but it's wayyyyy better than that for breakfast. In fact, the food is really good. Then again, I just get The American Breakfast, which for me is two scrambled eggs extremely well done, bacon, a croissant (French accent here), and something else but I don't remember what it is--despite being here twice. Yes, I brave the Georgia cold (no jacket/never a jacket) from a local hotel. I go through three parking lots, jump over a bush on a downhill slope, cross the street, then order American food from French people. It's quite an experience. I know I get a cookie to eat after but that's just a reward for my adventurous nature. Toast! That's what it is. Toast! Good toast! The reason for the 4 is two instances where the waiter-person (not sure if actually a waiter) wasn't friendly. However, everyone else who works here is super friendly--they even smile! So, maybe it wasn't the service. I think maybe it was that the eggs were super well done first time (a good thing) and slightly wet the second time (not good). Overall, recommended. read more

The food is good. Really good. Downside? They didn't give us menus when we walked in. And there was a line. On a Sunday. Expected I'm sure. But they should've had somebody collecting the menus that people took to read, once they had their food ordered, so they could be placed back for others to see. It really held up the line when people didn't know what they wanted, like me. LOL. I ended up getting the French toast that was made out a cinnamon rolls. Super super sweet. But super super good. I also wish that they had a notice on the door or some thing that said they were out of specialty coffees like cappuccinos and macchiato's, because the machine was broken. That was one of the big reasons we came here, so I settled to have to go without coffee because I didn't feel like having American style. All in all it was a good experience. Again, super busy, but the staff was very helpful and nice. read more

I love La Madeline but was disappointed with my recent visit.. I usually order an avocado toast and it has never looked like this. It had the thinnest spread of avocado I felt like I was eating straight bread.. highly recommend their fruit tarts and pasta! I love their avocado toast as well but it's not consistent. Cause I paid nearly $10 for this piece of bread?.. read more

It was my first time visiting. The line to order was long. I believe I got there a little before noon or right at. *Customer Service: pleasant staff *The Food: I ordered the strawberry romanoff French toast. I feel like it was more like eating dessert rather than breakfast b/c it was a cinnamon roll.. which if that was the case I would've just ordered dessert. It wasn't very filling which was disappointing because I would've liked to leave full or with my stomach nicely satisfied and it wasn't. *overall: I probably would got back to try some of the lunch items. Those seemed to look better than the breakfast. read more

Food terrific always fresh. The manager is great,very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely go back

Super cute atmosphere! I ordered the cinnamon French toast with a side of bacon & double caramel latte for $18. They have signage on the floor to ensure distancing between patrons as they place their orders & pay. The seating itself is not distanced but it's a somewhat intimate feel to the place. They use sticky notes with numbers In order to bring out your food. I would just suggest staff write the number on the correct side so we can actually stick the number in the designated area at the table. The French toast left much to be desired but the warm syrup was a great touch. I will definitely go back due to the ambiance & to try more authentic meals & pastries!! Did I mention outdoor seating?! That's always a plus! read more

This is the worst corque monsieur I ever had. Usually the egg is baked inside but my egg was placed on the top. This isn't a true corque monsieur. The food here doesn't even look appealing. Nothing about this place would give me a reason to return. read more

What a great find because the food and people here are wonderful! If you haven't been here, make sure to try their La Madeleine Crepe and Croque Monsieur. They were both prepared with love and very flavorful. What made all the difference was Aster's warm and attentive service. Thanks for a 10/10 experience! read more

LA Madeleine is good. But it's never great. The staff can be really helpful or very disinterested. It really goes in different directions at different times. Sometimes it seems pretty messy and almost a little dirty and other times it's pretty good. The typical French dishes are really on the good+ side but other items sometimes can be lagging. So I go, but never with enthusiasm. read more

The quality of their chicken parisien sandwich continues to go down the drain. It would be better to just call it an overpriced loaf of bread as the chicken is almost non-existent in the sandwich. read more

We stopped in for quick sweet treats and had amazing service. We ordered the chocolate, lemon and fruit mini tarts. All were delicious, but the lemon is by far the most delicious. My son had the chocolate croissant, very good, but even better when heated. Service was quick and everything was packaged very nicely. We have not been in a while for.

I met a friend for lunch here last week. We both ordered grilled cheese sandwiches. Sounded so goid on menu but.... Usually grilled cheese involves buttering outside of bread and popping sandwich onto a grill, hence the name "grilled cheese". That didn't happen with these. Bread was dry on outside and cheese was lacking. I ordered a cup of tomato bisque with mine, cool, not hot and lacking somewhat in flavor. I guess I expect better for my money. Will not return! read more

Delicieux!! (Thats Delicious in french) I had been hanging on to a old groupon and finally used it today. I had only been here for crossaints/pastries before today. Today I decided on a entree, something warm and tasty but didnt have a clue what to order i thought of soup first. I ended up ordering The chicken cordon blue pasta and it was very delicious. It came with a fresh baguette on the side. Inside is a cozy cafe bustling with customers coming for lunch and picking up to go orders. My order was a to go order this visit, but with so many menu options i can see myself coming thru to dine in next time. read more

Went to La Madeline for breakfast this morning. When I went to find a seat, there was a crushed cockroach under my seat. No biggie, I went to another table. I was so excited to get my food. The croissant was amazing. It literally melted in my mouth. I got to bite four and noticed a hair. I tried to pull it out! It was not just a piece of someone's hair, it was the entire strand. It was cooked in my food. GROSS! I will never return to this location. I wish I would have taken pictures. I just wanted to leave. read more

This was only my second every visit to the chain and first for lunch. I ordered the Croque Monsieur with Caesar Salad.

My wife's credit and debit cards were stolen while having breakfast this morning at the Madeleine across the Mall of Georgia. They were taken out from her wallet , that was inside her purse. Apparently it happened to another costumer yesterday. Minutes later they were fraudulently used at Walmart and Lowe's. Watch your back!!! Manager said it had happened yesterday too and that "they couldn't do anything". He didn't look very concerned. That's not okay, knowing that it has been happening lately read more

No. Crowded. The staff tried to take away plates on the table that had food in it, and we weren't done with. The person taking orders huffed a few times, and I was as nice to her as possible but it left me feeling like I just wanted to leave. The food wasn't great. There were no utensils restocked at the station where we're to get our silverware. It was frustrating trying to find someone to ask for utensils. It took a while for the food to come out, too. The place was so noisy it gave my husband a headache and he got out of there as quickly as he could. I gave it 2 stars because they utilized their space very well and crammed in as much seating as possible, which was impressive, and it all was full on a Sunday early afternoon. Either way, I'm not coming back. read more
