We had a lovely book club gathering at La Madeleine, and it was a big hit! Everyone was able to go through the line and pay for their own meal, and it felt so cozy with the fireplace glowing. I enjoyed the side salad sampler with the pecan and cranberry wild fields salad, along with the French onion soup, and the strawberries Romanoff cup (fresh strawberries with a delicious brandy cream sauce). I finished it all off with a glass of wine. The service was really attentive, which I appreciated. The only thing was that the restaurant was a bit chilly for my taste, but overall, the food was absolutely delicious. read more

La Madeleine has switched from Coke products to Pepsi which automatically makes me not want to come back. The food is still good and the Lady who's been cleaning their table for years now is extremely friendly and deserves a shoutout. read more

Very dissatisfied with the grilled cheese sandwich. Don't order unless you just want slightly cheesed bread. I had to add cheese to it and the bread was already too tough. read more

Everything have said before remains except my opinion on the staff. It's a cluster eff in the early morning. They just look at you and continue on with their opening duties, zero acknowledgement you exist. Not sure if they just need to open the doors 30 minutes later to have staff ready, relaxed as can be to encounter customers. Your better experience here will be after 9 am through 2 pm. The folks in the late afternoon and evening kinda have the same attitude as the early morning folks with additional negative of the food not being as fresh. read more

My food took 30 minutes to come out. There were several people who ordered after me that received their food, ate, and left before my food came out. As I was in the area for an appointment and do not live in Kingwood, I will most definitely not be back to this location, and I will now hesitate whenever someone suggests La Madeleine no matter the location. read more

Food and Service. The service is incredibly slow compared to other La Madeleine stores. The food is bland watered down and cooled. If you're looking to eat a hot plate at this establishment sit by the fire place and hope some of the heat transfers. After a 45 minute wait to get a sandwich the chips were dropped by the runner on the floor a replacement was never offered or brought out. Although the plates look appealing the taste was completely absent. I would recommend a different location or restaurant completely. read more

Dinner plate with cold potatoes. My dinner companion nearly finished by the time they warmed them. No taste to the too liquid potatoes, boring chicken breast chunks and tough green beans. My companions sandwich featured thick cut bacon which was undercooked. No ice in the drink machine just a partially melted open pan of ice both unappealing and unsanitary. read more

Edit: I will say that the establishment reached back out to both on here and on their website. That takes being humble and I do appreciate the class. I will return, In person next time, and give a further update. I thank them for their response. I really don't want to hurt businesses. I think we all need some constructive criticism when we need it to be better. Adding another star for the response for now. I ordered a via Favor so I wasn't able to check the food before it got to me. I got Chicken La Madeline and a potato galette. The chicken had no flavor and was burnt. The inside was dark brown and it was crunchy. The also had given me the smallest piece of chicken I've ever seen. It was inedible. The potato galette was also burnt, and dry. It was a hockey puck. It would have definitely sent it back if I was there. They should be ashamed of themselves for putting out such horrible food. It is a shame too because I used to like it. It's gone way down hill. read more

la Madeleine - It is hard to see, but it is the inside of the chicken. I had to rip it because I couldn't cut it. Embarrassing and shame on the "cook." - Bakeries Near Me - Kingwood, Texas

Lady that took my order was super rude and unhelpful. I'd never been here before so I didn't know how it worked. She had me get a tray and then just started slamming cups towards us and a small bowl. I asked if it was my soup and she said "it's a potato soup. Idk who ordered it!" I was shocked bc there were only 3 people in our party that ordered, on the same ticket. I waited tables for 8 years. I know it's not that hard to be a bit helpful and pass a plate to someone if it's theirs. The bus lady was super nice though. Soup was good. Grilled cheese had no flavor at all, I was really surprised, it was almost bad. Sat by the fire though and it was nice. I went to order a latte after too at the ToGo area, I wasn't sure where else to go, and she was helpful, not pleasant in any way, but very helpful. I think employees just aren't being treated well by management. That's usually the cause to problems like this. read more

Great spot with amazing food, and super convenient being right near the gym. Everything I've tried has been flavorful and fresh, and it's always a satisfying meal. Definitely a go-to when I'm in the area! read more

My favorite French restaurant. I love the onion soup. The staff there are always nice and helpful. Their prices are reasonable.

We have been customers for years and service/food quality has taken a nose dive. There is hardly any bread left out anymore and when it is, there are gnats flying around. Clear indicator that the cleanliness of the restaurant is dirty. Past few dine ins have been disappointing. We have given enough chances and will not be returning. read more

It is shocking how much the quality of this place has depreciated! My daughter and I went there last weekend in the evening for a quick meal and that was an eye opening experience. I ordered the soup, sandwich, and salad meal and it was abominable; French onion soup was not hot with unmelted sliced cheese on top, sandwich cold when it should be hot and salad drenched in dressing! Daughter's Caesar salad was also drenched. I addressed the manager, who seemed confused, about the quality of the food and she didn't bother apologize but first offered to heat the soup and sandwich - why wasn't it done initially when I ordered?? When I spoke to her the second time regarding our soupy salads, again no apologies for the inconvenience but instead offered a refund. I declined since I had already started ti eat the food. They really need to reevaluate their business, it has declined and I won't be returning unless there's drastic change in the quality of the food, revamping customer service, and cleanliness of the restaurant. It smells bad and the utensils and drink fountain are questionable. You'd expect better in Kingwood community. read more

Most of the food is mediocre or just not good however they occasionally will have a special sandwich during thanksgiving called the turkey cranberry croque which tastes amazing. You can also order decent bread here as well. read more

When we entered the door there was a foul Oder. Afterword we were greeted or (lack there of) by poor customer service. They forgot multiple items on our order and even directly after saying what we wanted they gave us something completely different. More over the food we ordered sat on the counter to be delivered to our table long enough that it was cold. We did come at an odd hour. But it was not busy, it was not clean and the staff seemed lethargic and like they didn't process what we were asking leading to much confusion. Although the coffee bar was very clean and the team there was much better so I added an extra star for them. read more

I love La Madeleine but the quality has changed a bit. Some of the dishes are not what they used to be some years ago. The location determines the service. We go to the one at Kingwood, and the service is good. The one at the Woodlands, the service varies. Overall, we like going there for coffee, bread, and the ambiance with the classic music playing. read more

This place is a hit or miss when you dine in, either you got bad service or great service, there's no middle ground. We used to eat here regularly, but we recently stopped because their coffee machine is always broken. The last time we ate here, I asked the cook if my sandwich, the Croque Madame, is supposed to come with salad on the side because that's what I always order when I dine-in here, but it was missing from my plate. Instead of answering my question, he looked at me like I got poop on my face with no response. I even asked the waiter about the salad but she said it never came with it. I didn't bother making a big deal out of it since I didn't plan on going back. read more

Yeaaaaaa we eat her at least once a month. Ordered what we always do croque Monsieur and a sandwich with potato soup. Took forever to get our mains.. when they came out the Croque was cold asked them to reheat. Needless to say almost an hour and my hubby was down with dinner mine came out again tepid at best. The top was not cooked even if the sandwich was like warm. So sad we love this place. Asked for a refund after 1 and 20 minutes for a lost dinner heading home to cook dinner read more

When entering some trays had been brought out and they were dirty and wet. I informed the cashier that there were several trays that were wet and a few of them had some type of dirt or something on them. He did not tell anybody and just stood there for another 2 minutes while I cleaned two trays. I then approached and asked him if he was going to do anything about it and he began to question me instead of immediately act, which is what you should do when a person reports something dirty in the restaurant especially where all of the clients are entering. Ridiculous. I left my food at the register. It is just that when you work with the public in a restaurant, dirt and filth is something you do not put up with and address immediately every time. read more

Ok nothing to get excited about, the food is OK and there is no service after you pay! You're on your own!

Food: chicken Brian good, onion soup barely warm Service: the management invented an extremely time consuming system for the customers: instead of looking at the dishes with labels, putting them on the tray and paying, you place an order at one register lady (using a totally idiotic menu), get the food from that same lady and pay to another register lady. A big no-no: the same person working the register and giving out food, and no gloves will help,! Twice more time consuming and totally confusing. No more bread and butter. Not coming again. Forgot a really unattractive thing: why are the food trays wet? It's not a school cafeteria with those prices! Don't they know how to wipe them dry in the kitchen before bringing them out? read more

I was out with my daughter and her dad and he wanted to check out la madeleine as he always orders it for delivery but never actually has been inside this location before. We entered and it was a bit busy for a Sunday afternoon but still had some seating that was indoors. The girl at the register seemed to have rushed us with ordering. I said I wanted the pesto pasta and she said "What pesto pasta? Here's a menu" I literally told her it was the creamy pesto pasta and she said "Well that's what its called" Didn't know I had to use the proper name for it. We sat down and noticed there was no forks. They had people walking around clearing tables but no one checking on the utensils so alot of us had to go up and ask for to go forks. Even when we left, there was still no forks so utensils were not on anyones mind that day. Was the food delicious? Yes. Did my 2 year old enjoy it? Yes. Service could of just been a bit better and our table could of been cleaner. read more

This was the first place we ate at when we moved to Kingwood 25 years ago. I originally left a 5 star review but since they can't respect my request for extra gravy about 80% of the time (and it's my birthday) I'm taking away 1 star. I order my meal with extra gravy every single time...not a big deal right? It's too dry without. They don't even check the bag when we ask if it's there. They often look at the receipt and say it's there but we get home and it's not in the bag. We now have to check the bag. But if we forget or I send my son (as I did tonight) then we end up with dry food. The workers are nice and they offered us compensation. But I would rather have the gravy and a nice meal. Most are high school teens and with exception to a few teens with attitude they are great. This can happen anywhere. The adult workers are always good. The food is good too and a reasonable price for a healthy meal. We love to sit by the fire when it gets colder and in general we like the environment. It's not a full service but for the price it's good that they bring your food to the table. We usually get the chicken La Madeline (EXTRA GRAVY) and it does not seem to be changed from the first time we tried it. We had given 5 stars because they always have wonderful baked goods and we have found the food to be consistently good....but we want extra gravy when we order it. I've hope I made my point clear. read more

I have said it before and I'll say it again this place is hands down the most layed back and comfortable adorable cottage core place on the map . Straight comfort food and great staff . I love the strawberry crepes with crème and the tarts are amazing and it's not so pricey some mornings I have the egg quiche . I just love every thing I have eaten here and also it's great for catering . The app is great with an option to pay from the app which I love read more

Im so sorry la Madeleine that your franchise has gone downhill because of the new nonchalant workers and managers as well. My family and I use to go all the time after choir, orchestra and band practice, and to be treated the way my family and I were treated was very hurtful and I will never come back to this establishment because of Jen the manager. She came to my table observing my food and made my husband and 6 year old daughter feel very uncomfortable as I was refilling drink. My husband and daughter expressed this behavior as I approached and do not appreciate the treatment they recieved. If I could give a zero star review I would! read more

Clean restaurant. Order at the counter, self-serve drinks, and seat yourself. I ordered eggs over medium that came crispie around the edges. I asked for crispie bacon, but it was not, and it appeared to be microwave bacon. I asked for water, but never received it. Editable, but I think Denny's does a better job. read more

The food is absolutely delicious!! I enjoy it every time I go!! The workers are so nice and their service is quick and efficient :)

Very good!!! We will go again very soon! The staff was great and the food was fantastic!

The food was great it's the atmosphere that had me in a state of wow.. I got there as soon as they opened so I got a great seat right by the fire place. Toasty! I ordered the French toast eggs with mushrooms onions and spinach and a quiche while I waited. I ordered orange juice and the waiter actually strained out all the pulp customer service was great and I enjoyed all that I ordered. Definitely a place I can see myself going back to read more

la Madeleine - two plates of french toast and a bowl of soup - Bakeries Near Me - Kingwood, Texas

Arrived after the rush hour of lunch traffic, no line but plenty of people still seated around the cafe enjoying their conversations. You order at the front then take your seat wherever you want or wherever is available. There is a gas burning fireplace which is nice but honestly it's over 100 degrees outside right now and it's definitely putting out heat, I'd rather see it than feel it. I had a lemon poppyseed muffin which was just ok, nothing to brag about. I'd say that this place is probably best for little coffee dates or a nice place to sit and get some work done alone on the computer. I'll probably never have lunch here again as the food was just ok and in my opinion overpriced for the quality. The place Was clean and the manager greeted us at our table to make sure we were doing fine, all staff was pleasant and bathrooms were clean and even have a full size baby changing station inside the large stall. read more

La Madeleine has really gone down hill sadly!! At least this location has. Every employee I came in contact with was lost or unhelpful. The lady at the register was rude and the manager was as well! When I asked a question about my salad he was just put off because I asked for my chicken to be warmed because it was hard and refrigerator cold! Just running the restaurant poorly! I've been going to La Madeleine for over 20 years and I have to say I won't be back, too many other places that aren't rude. The tomato basil is still good though. read more

Food: 3 stars Customer Service: 4 stars Venue/Ambiance: 4 stars Decided to finally try this place. All in all, the experience was ok. The customer service was excellent (the main reason for the 4 stars really), however the food in my opinion was just a little underwhelming. I truly enjoyed their tomato soup and side of bread. I had a caramel macchiato made with soy milk which was also well made. My actual meal was not good at all. I had their roast beef tartini and it was not to my liking. First off the portion of this dish was all wrong. For the price you pay, the serving size should be larger. The roast beef is just your run of the mill cold cut roast beef you can buy at the store. Nothing to write home about. The mushrooms looked and tasted like the ones you can get out of a can or jar. Yuck. The onions were not at all carmalized and the cheese they used was not of good quality. I was super dissatisfied :-( I tried some of the other dishes that were ordered (waffles, dirty rice with chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce) and they were both way better than what I ordered. For dessert I tried their fruit tart. It was not too sweet which I prefer, however I have had better at other local bakeries. I will say that the attention I received from the staff is what made me bump this review up to 4 stars instead of 3. The person that greeted me listened to what I had to say about my experience and promised to do better if I ever decided to visit again. Now that's customer service at it's best!!! read more

How can La Madeleine Kingwood still be open with the service that they provide to the customers. Very rude employees that don't care to even acknowledge the customer. No leadership. And snappy attitudes. Not to mention no inventory of desserts at dinner time of all times. And the desserts that we did get were just thrown into a box. The GM of this establishment/location should be ashamed of how this store runs. read more

Croque Monsieur and tomato basil soup are a must! Breads and pastries are always delicious.

great place, great service, went here this morning for breakfast, they open at 7:00am. had the ham and egg quiche and the spinach and egg quiche, with a sweet tea. everything was fresh. great ambience. read more

I think the staff would benefit from some training. At front of house you rarely get a warm welcome. I ordered the half sandwich plus a cup of soup. I was charged $5.80 for the soup, which should have been a $2.99 add on. The half sandwich was a major disappointment. A tiny piece of baguette with a miserly portion of ham and swiss inside for $6.60!! I spoke to the manager who refunded me the overcharge and gave me a gift card. She apologized, but said that was the portion size for their half sandwich. Really dissatisfied. read more
