    A nice little French cafe! You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. We were served relatively quick. We ordered the tomato basil soup, chicken friand, chicken caesar sandwich, and strawberry romanoff. Overall, the food was good, and the atmosphere was quaint! It's a nice spot for a quick lunch.

    Caprese sandwich , Petite Caesar Salade, Chai latte, refresher

    The ingredients in everything is so fresh! I love how you can seat yourself and they work fast to serve you quickly, it's also such a nice place to eat at overall, feels like you've been transported to France.

    good value for price. I tried the Tomato Basil Soup, which was rich and comforting, and the Potato Galette, a crispy, cheesy French-style potato cake that was definitely my favorite. i like the cozy cottage vibe inside too. will comeback and try diff soup

    Today my friend and I had brunch/lunch here and it was delicious! I usually get the same thing every time I come. I got the Cafe Sampler! The pasta salad is delicious. I also got a Quiche Loraine! The service today was also really great and everyone was very friendly and ready to help! I love coming to La Madeleine for good quality, quick service eats!

    I woke up early and wanted to run some errands. However, nothing was open except this place. Boy, was I glad I gave it a try. Do you like French everything? This hidden gem is the place for you! When you walk up to the front door, french music starts to play. You walk in, the ambiance, the friendly staff, and the beautiful display of the bakery selection. It's like you're walking into an actual bakery store. I ordered the Florentine Quiche, a cup of cream of mushroom, a chai latte, and yogurt parfait. I will definitely walk out with some bakery later and bring my family here next time. What an awesome restaurant and experience I've had in a while.

    Half of a ham and swiss quiche. That crust was so flaky and buttery! Delicious!

    I know I lived in Atlanta for 10 years. And I never visited this franchise restaurant. I always try to eat at small independent French bakeries! But driving around endlessly looking for a French only Bakery Google Map ended me here. And in my 10 years of living in Atlanta I never visited Duluth or John's Creek area. Hence this was the fourth French restaurant I stopped at to make sure that this wasn't a bubble tea spot. But a croissant and quiche spot! So just FYI be careful of that if you're in that Duluth and John's Creek area. They may sound French and then there is one called Paris baguette! They're bubble tea and sweet bun spots. Not the colonizer French bakery spots! So yes my desperation to have authentic French pastries and breakfast first thing in the morning brought me to this franchise place I would have never frequented. However it was actually nice. It would have gotten five stars but it did what so many restaurants are doing right now. Not turning on heat! The people who sit on the outskirts were in their coats and hats while eating. Otherwise people clamor towards the middle of the restaurant near the fire pit. And while waiting on all my pastries to be bagged I stood over there by the fire pit as well. Y'all have got to stop being cheap with the heat! So this franchised food... surprise surprise surprise! That coconut cake made me think of being in the Deep South on Sundays after somebody's Big Mama's funeral. Oh yes that cake was rich and delicious! Had more of a cream or maybe even custard type versus coconut milk or cream of coconut milk. Either way it was worth waiting for them to cut me a slice! And the pastries were delicious. They didn't taste as manufactured as I expected them to. Now what really surprised me with this restaurant, was that everybody who worked there spoke french! And it appeared as though it was all of the ethnic groups that France had colonized! But they were all speaking their french! Even helped two Muslim Vietnamese ladies with the door. I was so tickled listening to them speak French to a staff member there! I was like okay I get it I get it I get it! This is where all of the ethnic groups that have been colonized by the French come and gather! That was the cutest thing I saw at this restaurant. So many of the people who ate there and all of the people who work there spoke french!

    Cafe Sampler
    Cathy P.

    It has been a long time since I ate here. From the outside it looked quiet and I wasn't sure how they faired with Covid. But I opened the door and the place was busy with customers. They are still short staffed but I enjoyed my food. Just a hint, order the cafe sampler which is half quiche, small salads, cup of soup. You'll get your food on the spot because the cashier is the one who pulls this plate together. I had the cream of mushroom soup, Caesar salad, flirting quiche. They now pour the dressing on top instead of tossing together, and the free jam is in a dispenser not in little containers any more. These are just a few short cuts they've created to try and keep up with demand. The staff is working so hard with their resources and I just hope they can make it through this pandemic.

    Tomato Basil Soup
    Valerie B.

    Always a pleasure eating here! I frequent the Perimeter location more due to work but this location is closer to home. I ordered the usual Chicken Cesar salad w/tomatoe basil soup. Made to order! It was not as busy possibly due to Covid but there were a steady flow of customers. I opted to dine in . Found a quiet cozy spot near the patio exit. During the Fall/Winter months the fire place is lit. Enjoyed the food and ambiance. Friendly staff as well. The only thing that I was disappointed in is they were out of the sliced bread to go along with the delicious berry spread. There was 1 slice not enough for a baby to eat . The mgr said they were all out at the time but more was in the oven. I couldn't wait another hour so maybe next time.

    I love this place. The food is always fresh and tasty. You can't never go wrong with the croissants, and pastries; they're DELICIOUS! They came up with a new salad; Quinoa Tuna Niçoise. If you read the description sounds delicious, but when you taste it, it blows your mind. If you like salads, you definitely need to give it a try. The coffee is very good too, and my favorite dessert hands down is the Sacher Torte!

    Country French Breakfast
    Jarrod F.

    Decided to meet up with a friend for a quick brunch and came across La Madeleine. Usually I would pass by the restaurant all the time because it's off in the cut, but after a quick Google search, I realized where it was and decided to get it a try. First off, once you walk in, the restaurant is super spacious, with plenty of room to social distance if you like. They provide outdoor/indoor seating, and even have a small room in the back for private events (on the day I went, someone was having a small birthday brunch). The set up is kind of cafeteria style, so you have to look over the menu and decide what you want before you get in line to order. They will bring the food to your table, but as you go down the line, they have fresh items that aren't on the menu, all of which looked delicious! So you'll have plenty of items to choose from. I decided to play it safe and go with a breakfast croissant sandwich and my friend got Country French Breakfast. The food was amazing! Super fresh, hot, and delicious! My croissant was so buttery and flaky that it paired perfectly with my eggs and sausage. The portion size seemed a bit small at first glance, but after I finished i was perfectly full. It was just enough so that I wasn't hungry anymore but also not too much that I was blotted. Overall the food and the atmosphere was pretty good and chill. Would definitely come back another time! Oh and P.S. you can alway learn French from some of the art and music that's playing in the bathroom. If you're into that kinda thing lol

I had just landed from New Jersey and arrived tired, jet-lagged, starving, and looking for something delicious near my hotel. Artificial intelligence recommended Just Brunch, and this time, AI absolutely understood the assignment! I ordered the Seafood Lovers Omelet with shrimp and lobster, accompanied by a side salad and biscuit. Between the seafood and eggs, I estimate that I received approximately 50 grams of protein. The portions are not humongous because this is a more gourmet-style restaurant, but the amount was just right for rich, high-quality food. The omelet was delicious, the salad was fresh and flavorful, and the biscuit came with an incredible Cajun sauce. Oh, my Lord! I normally watch my macros, so I only ate about a quarter of the biscuit, but every bite was worth it. The jam was also fantastic. The freshly made pineapple, ginger, and mint lemonade was out of this world. It was refreshing and tasted like something genuinely special--not an ordinary restaurant lemonade. My total was $38.16 before tip, and I left Briana 22% because she provided excellent service and deserved it. Some people may think that close to $50 for brunch is ridiculous, but I see it differently: I could spend about $20 somewhere like Panera and have a basic meal, or I could spend more and have an experience I will actually remember. Just Brunch is not the cheapest option, and this was certainly more indulgent than my everyday breakfast. But if you value taste, quality, presentation, and a memorable meal, it is absolutely worth it. If you're visiting Duluth, especially for work or while staying nearby, don't miss this spot. Amazing food, amazing drink, and an amazing experience!

Well, hate to be frank, but our Souffle Pancake was just very disappointing. While the pancake was nice and fluffy, the toppings and presentation wasn't even close to being as good as they used to be. I felt this was new management, with a whole, new style of doing desserts maybe? In any case, we did think the pancake tasted good...but it was just lacking in the creamy topping, as only the top layer had this creamy base. The lower 2 pancakes had no cream on it...and tasted quite bland. Even the strawberry sauce was minimal...so minimal, I went up to ask for more. Also, the decorative toppings, including the strawberry, were just BLAHHH. If you come here expecting the Strawberry Souffle Pancake of the past, you'll be disappointed. So nope...just not pretty enough for Instagramming. Made me wonder if the rest of the desserts have gone down as well?? For drinks, my husband had Cappuccino, and I had this Oohlong Tea. Not pictured, but the presentation was just passable...and the taste was just OK. If I recall, their drinks used to be presented beautifully as well as their desserts...but from the look of things, that may no longer be true. Guess I may give this place at least another try. Who knows? Maybe it was just an off night?? Hopefully I can upgrade the review on my next v visit...should the dessert and the drink look and taste better. Fingers crossed??

I do not feel as though downtown Duluth truly captures the amazing food scene of the city, but again, an old friend did like it enough to tell me about it. Inside was pretty spacious. High ceilings and bright. You have to go up front and order, and they'll give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. Pretty standard so far. It's not too loud, even with the music playing in the background, so not bad for hanging out with friends after the food is done, though we didn't. We were all pretty disappointed with our food. It wasn't bad, thankfully, it was just meh. We could've literally drove 5 minutes away for better, so we left as soon as we finished. The good thing is you get to choose what protein you want with your dish, which is nice. However, the chicken katsu here is thin. Also, the K-Fried chicken doesn't really mesh with the pasta. It's like a skewer on the side of your main dish. You can eat them separately and be happy enough. I was ok with the bulgogi, but I would've expected better from a Korean establishment. I haven't tried every single protein option, but I won't lie, tofu in pasta isn't the most appealing to me. For the main dishes, it was pretty bland, especially the omurice. You need the egg and the protein for flavor. The Schezwan pasta wasn't even spicy. At least the carbonara was creamy as it should be.
