The food was okay, but severely overpriced. It feels more like a Cracker Barrel than a French bakery. The service wasn't bad, but they weren't super friendly either. Don't waste your time or money here. Just go to a Starbucks or something. read more

la Madeleine - Iced Mocha and Chocolate Croissant - Cafes Near Me - El Paso, Texas

We have been coming to this place for years, all of a sudden everything seems to be off, no decaf, no dark bread , they want to charge you for almond milk which we have always got free of charge. No whole brain bread. And the manager's explanations for these shortcomings really don't make much sense. Hopefully it is just a phase this place is going through. We will see. read more

la Madeleine - C D Baker - Cafes Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I came to this because I've been looking for a good quality hot chocolate. Going inside I was not expecting like a Panera kind of environment. You order first, then find a seat, the silverware you get yourself, just a heads up it's by the drinks. I ordered the brioche breakfast sandwich, with a side of crispy potato hash, a hot chocolate, and a chocolate dipped croissant. The potatoes were rubbery and no flavor at all, very disappointing cause I was expecting a nice crispy outside and a soft tender inside. The sandwich was nothing special, something I could have made at home. Hot chocolate was simple and nothing really special, once again probably something I could have made at home. The food was room temperature, I was expecting it to be at least warm since I assume it would be "fresh". The food looked beautiful, but very disappointing once you taste it. On a good note, the staff was welcoming and attentive. Now that I know the set up, I can plan to go through the menu a little more next time. Hopeful to have a better experience if I ever return. read more

la Madeleine - The brioche Breakfast sandwich, chocolate croissant, and hot chocolate. - Cafes Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Used to love going there for lunch until yesterday. The caesar salad was wilted down and tasteless to my surprise. It was always crunchy and fresh. The half sandwich that I had, turkey on a croissant was bad. The croissant had been smashed instead of being puffed up and they made it look like a panini or cuban sandwich. Initially, I asked for a croissant sandwich and they brought me a baguette. They told me I would have to wait a while so they could switch it. I said it was fine. However it was so bad, I will never go again. read more

I came here on a whim and I love that it's in such a quiet place in el paso! I loved walking around after eating but the restaurant itself was honestly super loud and the service was also pretty slow. It isn't a sit down restaurant but there's plenty of seating. We also came on a Saturday morning so it was pretty packed with screaming kids. Would come back but i'd recommend just ordering the baked goods at the front! What i ordered: * lemon madeleine - 9/10! hands down my favorite thing i ordered here! loved the tart lemon flavor and the slight crunch whenever u bit into it * french breakfast - 4/10. honestly was pretty disappointed with this. the food came out cold and it felt like a breakfast i could just make at home * caprese crepe - 6/10. not bad but not the greatest! i usually love savory crepes but this was so meh read more

The experience was average, nothing extraordinary about this place. It feels like a wannabe fancy Panera Bread but with less variety. They were out of cutlery when we got there and they forgot our drinks, those got brought out as I was finishing up my meal. Honestly not a bad place if you want a quick brunch, but definitely not worth the prices. read more

We go here frequently for lunch or dinner. Friday we tried the new baked pasta. It was good but the parsley took a bit of the flavor away. Ms. Brenda, one of their staff, was cleaning our table and she asked how the food was. I told her it was good, but they could do away with the parsley and add more cheese sauce. She said she will mention that to the chef. Btw, she was very sweet and personable, chatting with us for a minute. Saturday we went back ( they have the Bouche de Noel cake back for the season, and OMD it is the best thing) so I can get some cake. My partner ordered the baked pasta and....wait for it. The parsley was nowhere to be seen and there was more sauce on the pasta. Kind of made us giddy inside, that suggestions are taken into consideration. read more

The set up here is a bit different from other locations I've been to. They only have the bakery section and you order everything and can't see the kitchen. It was as cozy as ever though, and in the Fountains which is a really nice area. I always think it's funny when I'm greeted in French, but then when I respond in French they look at me like... uuum... lol. Anyway... I ordered the Quiche Florentine and a mini chocolate tart. My coworker had the Pesto Pasta which had garlic bread, and cheesecake. The food was deliciously French cafe :-) read more

Great food. Service not bad. Ambiance is pretty good. All and all it's fine. It's always the same. It's a " cookie cutter theme. "

First time here and although we weren't expecting Paris, the food was good and the presentations, as well as the service and restaurant make up, were nice! I had a French dip which was good, but the tomato soup was tasty and probably the best I've had. My wife had the chicken Caesar salad and a French onion soup and was pleased. My daughter had the breakfast sandwich with a fruit cup and it was fine. Without high expectations, this place delivered to our satisfaction. read more

It's a cute little place to have brunch at I thought. It's a Americanized French version of Paneras or Corner Bakery. It's welcoming environment makes it nice place to eat. Food is good not great but good. Service is a little slow & employees don't look to happy but they get the job done. They're not rude or anything just not talkative or happy. Definitely will go back it's a nice little place for a quick bite. read more

I was craving a sandwich after a day of shopping and ran into this place. They offer half sandwiches and full ones, I got the full one and it came with a side so I chose a Cesar salad.

OMG! We were visiting El Paso and wanted a nice breakfast. We went to La Madeline for Quiche, Coffee, and a danish. The place was clean. I mean really clean. Well lit and inviting. The person behind the register was polite, knowledgeable and efficient. The food was fantastic. The raspberry Greek yogurt danish was amazing. The quiche Lorraine was quite tasty and hot. Even the coffee coffee was better than most breakfast joints. Denny's and IHOP should learn how to make coffee here. I am planning a return trip to El Paso next month. Guess where I will have breakfast? I just wonder how many Greek yogurt danish's I will take to go read more

I had never been here and finally got to when meeting friends here on Friday night. The inside is very cozy and there are plenty of tables to pick from. I opted to try something small since we were just here to kill time while we waited for our dinner reservation elsewhere. I ended up ordering a small banana loaf with a vanilla latte. My latte had a single espresso shot. The single shot is about a dollar less then the double shot. My total was close to $8. The gave me a number for my latte and my banana loaf was given to me right away. I went to sit down and my latte was brought out to me about 10 minutes later. My latte was cute and they made me a heart out of the foam.. (awwww) the guy who brought it out was friendly and he even gave me a bon appetit! The banana loaf was moist and had a good flavor to it. They have a bunch of other pastries as well and they all looked pretty good! I would definitely be back as I would like to try the soups and entrees that they have! The cashier could've been friendlier! In no way did she look happy to be there. read more

Stopped yesterday for lunch. I was appalled that person delivering food to tables was not wearing a mask. I observed her going in and out of kitchen, behind counter where pastries are kept with no face mask. All other employees in restaurant were wearing masks. Why would you have unmasked person delivering all the food? El Paso is experiencing a higher Covid rate now. I am hoping she isn't contagious or the whole restaurant and everyone that ate there has been exposed. I won't be back. read more

The food was amazing! Unfortunately the customer service was NOT so good. I'll give it another try.

If this is how the French eat, then I'm moving to Paris ASAP!! Upon walking into to La Madeleine after all the research I had done on the place, I expected to walk into a sit down style restaurant where a server takes your order and brings it over. Imagine my surprise when I discovered an almost...Panera-esque decorum and style. Just picture the Corner Bakery only WAY fancier! But seriously folks, the decorum was spectacular! Every meticulous detail from the casually stellar furniture and scenery all the way down to the elegant music playing in the background gave it that genuine coffee shop feel. This must be how the rich and famous spend their Saturday mornings drinking coffee and surfing the web. I half expected to find violin players in the corner of the shop strumming away in their penguin tuxedos, Titanic style. I had my prospects set on the cafè mocha and custom omelet with a side of potato galette. And nothing was shy of splendid! But let's cover the details, along with one minor caveat. First of all, the cafè mocha was easily the best damn espresso infused beverage I have ever had. This drink puts anything you get at Starbucks to shame. And it actually pains me to say that! From the chocolaty finish atop the whipped cream (which was just light enough not to get on my nerves, as I normally have an aversion to whipped cream) to the perfectly blended espresso base, there was literally NOTHING wrong with this drink! I dare say this may be my drink of choice upon every visit. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Next is the omelet. Best...omelet...in El Paso...so far! They didn't needlessly sear the outsides of the omelet like most restaurants do. This ostensibly fresh 3 egg omelet was light, fluffy and full of flavor. They have plenty of ingredients, so you can get any kind of omelet you want. I highly recommend this dish. And of COURSE...I had to try the potato galette because...French cuisine, amirite?? Whilst this item hits the mark, it's worth noting that the outside is damn near hard as tree bark. You'll need a knife to get to the good parts inside. But surprisingly, it all blends well and doesn't take away from this unique experience for a breakfast side. Outside of that, I really have no complaints about this place. It's always a refreshing thing to find a place that's excellent at what they do. If you're in search of a "hoity-toity" fancy pants breakfast, I highly recommend La Madeleine. They deserve 5 omelets light and fluffy enough to float off your plate and right into the clouds out of 5. read more

Great service. Delicious food. Nice atmosphere for students to study and delicious desserts. I was so absorbed with studying that my food got cold and they made me a fresh order-I have never seen anyone do that in the States! Anna is a great employee and front desk assistant. She made me feel right at home as well as suggesting delicious food. The manager Adrian was very friendly, as well. If you're in the area this sure beats Village Inn, iHop or any other dinner. A+! Also, free water refills, free bread, butter and jam and fast, free Wi Fi. You can't beat that! Better than any other La Madeleine restaurants that I have been to in San Antonio and Austin. Thank you everyone! read more

la Madeleine - Great Ambiance! - Cafes Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I enjoy la Madeleine French Bakery chain of restaurant Tons. I highly suggest it because their coffee and food are always reliable and amazing!! Great Costumer Service is always present. My favorite breakfast item is quiche, Huge delicious serving. I dislike that you cannot order at your table. You order at the front as you would in a fast food place and they bring your food. Recently I ordered a cake over the phone, I wanted the cake to celebrate a Birthday, I asked if they would write "Happy Birthday" but they said they don't offer that service. The cake was good but I do wish they offered it. Other than that hiccup no issues with my order. They offer adorable heart shape cookies great for a "thinking of you gift" Love em! read more

la Madeleine - Fruit Tart - Cafes Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Sadly, this is one of those times where you have nice ambiance and tempting food descriptions, but when the food arrives... it's super disappointing. Tried to find a healthy option for my kids: chicken, broccoli and rice sounded great, but the description didn't mention that it's soaked in a cream sauce and a ton of cheese, my 6 year old couldn't even eat it. We also ordered the Turkey & Brie and the French Dip. These were essentially a baguette with a tiny bit of meat, literally everything listed in the description wasn't even there. What a joke. Never going back. read more

My main question for La Madeleine: WHY YOU NO BUILD ONE CLOSER TO MY HOUSE? It would be just my luck that as soon as I move from the East side, all these awesome places would start popping up. Well played East side, well played. I'm impressed by La Madeleine. I've never been to one previously, but I envisioned a Olive Garden with French food. It was better than anything I've ordered at a OG, but I can find better French cuisine locally so it's kind of a toss up (the good news is I haven't found any French cuisine on the East side so they have that part on lock). It's still in it's first few months open so expect lines, but luckily I came at just the right time to avoid the lunch rush and after 3 pm rush (I don't know why that's a rush, but it was). The small line that was there moved along quickly and those who needed to look the menu over a bit more had adequate space to consider their options without being in the way. So I ordered the Chicken Cordon Bleu pasta, knowing I wouldn't be eating the chicken. The menu is very chicken heavy, I'm sure you can have dishes sans chicken, but it doesn't change the price so I'd rather auction off the chicken to people at my table. As soon as we paid, we were handed a spoon on a wooden platform and I thought to myself, "Self, I may keep this." I didn't, but I deeply considered it. After serving myself a drink and picking up a fork and knife, I noticed a plethora of bread and butter and jams. All things I love dearly. You better believe I loaded upon breads and jams. Delicious. The food arrived shortly thereafter. One word, yum. Pasta was al dente, sauce was in perfect portion to the pasta and it was flavorful. The breadstick on the side was pretty hard on the outside, but much softer on the inside. Break it and sop up that sauce! So after my meal had been devoured, I actually took the time to look at my surroundings. Very rustic with dark wood all around, but plenty of light and windows to keep it bright. The tables stayed clean and the outdoor patio looked very welcoming. I loved that you can watch them bake breads and desserts too. read more

Food was good but portion size was small for the price of the item and the picture they had of the beef & parmesan potatoes was way more appealing. It didn't even have the carrots or peas in it, it was just piece of small portion of meat with potatoes, very disappointing. Service was fast and they were polite. Loved the feel of the place. read more

Delicious food being a mix of American and French(Europeanish) styled dishes. The sausage is lovely if they don't over cook it. This place did so be careful. The other 2 I've been to were actually better. The orange juice is awesome and you should always leave with a Chocolate Croissant in a bag. So yummy for a snack. read more
