    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.

    My first time here did not disappoint! Upon walking in, you'll get in line and see all the items of food before ordering at the register. You will see an active fireplace in the middle of their restaurant with plenty of seating throughout, and alongside the windows. The tables, decor and smell of coffee is authentic to their story/history. It felt like I was in a French cottage house somewhere in the countryside of France somewhere ordering food I loved it. I ordered a country French breakfast with a cappuccino to accompany it. Served hot, and really tasty. The potato cake was surprisingly one of my favorite items. The texture was ideal: crispy but not crunchy and flavorful!!! I will definitely be back with my laptop one day bc of the ambiance and coffee it's the perfect combo.

    Plenty of parking even for trucks on the front!

    Today, on the last day of May, 2024, came back and was not disappointed! Same experience as my last rating validated again, thank you management!

The decor is bright, airy and modern without feeling overdone it makes the space feel welcoming and easy to sit back and enjoy good conversation for hours. One thing I really appreciated as a vegan was that they actually had a few vegan options instead of just a side salad or fruit plate. It's always refreshing finding a brunch spot that puts thought into accommodating different lifestyles without sacrificing flavor. The food, atmosphere and energy all came together for a really enjoyable outing with friends.

Our sides consisted of collard greens, sweet potatoes and mash potatoes. 6/10. The show stopper was the lobster Mac and cheese the fried lobster tail was seasoned to perfection. I would definitely recommend it. Over all experience 9/10.

This visit they had a mascarpone ravioli with scallops, spinach, sundried tomatoes, and lobster-butter sauce. Outside seating is a winner with umbrellas for the summer and propane burners for winter.

The service was already terrible when we were told to sit down wherever and then this guy comes out of nowhere and sits us down at a terrible spot, and keeps coming back to asks questions even when we ordered steak he came back to ask what temperature which is very odd because it's normally asked when you order THE steak. Ambiance is okay very simple and bland, could be more vibrant.

They charge $5 for their croissant, which was where it falls short. If it were the best croissant I ever had, perhaps. No substitutions. Always hated this rule for every restaurant, but I get it if you have a special and hundreds of customers. We were one of 3 parties on a weekday brunch, super slow. We also ordered the traditional breakfast and a kids breakfast. But instead of bacon, we wanted a croissant for the kids meal. They are both $5 in the menu when ordered separately. First the server said they didnt know (weird) then said they would check and left for 5 minutes. The answer was no. So I paid an extra $5 and added a croissant. I ate the bacon, which improved my salmon Benedict. But neither the croissant nor bacon felt like $5. Kids meal is now the cost of a regular. So I recommend if you dont want any substitutions, try this place. I wont be coming back. It really irks me that you cant just put bread instead of bacon on a kids meal. You aren't a robot, and you are not busy. You are also not getting me as a patron anymore. P.S. the Croissant alone was not worth $5. I rate it a 3 out of 5 on its own.

I had the hash dish and some of the huge pancake the hubby ordered. The pancake was basically a cake round, I took a bite when the hubs was at the last quarter of it and it was actually still pretty hot! It was good. It looked 1.5-2" thick and 2 pieces. To me that is suitable to split amongst 8 people. The hash was delicious. Tiny roasted veg topped with your style of eggs. I chose sunny side and it was a perfect pour right into the dish. There were also 2 medium round Idaho potatoes, yum! Most definitely without a doubt will be returning.

This place is for crepes, French pastries (friends, croissants, tarts), and breads. I've never been for lunch, though that's my daughter's preference for this place. Why aren't we here more often? The coffee. It's fine, but nothing great, and when my wife and I have a Saturday morning to go out, we usually want great coffee. The space is tight, smallish, but clean. They seem to do more to-go business than eat in. We've never seen it packed, but there is usually a steady stream of to-go. Want great pastries? This is the place.
