    I love coming here to eat while I read or work. The food, drinks and pastries are amazing, and the ambiance is so chill it's perfect for a solo date. The customer service is typically always on point as well. I deducted one star bc during a recent visit there was ham in my omelet, which I only asked for tomatoes, onions and spinach (I don't eat pork at all). Thankfully I didn't get sick but hopefully they'll do better about keeping ingredients separate to avoid a more serious incident down the road.

    Craving for breakfast this morning, and remembering we wanted to try La Madeleine, we finally made it, and was pleasantly impressed by this hidden gem. You walk in look through the menu then walk up to the counter to order, they give you a number and you find a seat, and they will bring your order to you. We loved the casual atmosphere very cozy. The coffee was good, but on to the food, We both had the country breakfast, the croissants were excellent, bacon perfectly cooked eggs weee a great over medium, however the star was the potatoes, Wow these were amazing crispy on the outside soft on the inside with perfect seasoning. The avocado toast was a very nice addition. Confirmed hidden gem here.

    Lovely French-style restaurant in a convenient location. Great parking area. Large menu with lots of wonderful options. Decadent display cases featuring fancy desserts, breads, cakes, and more. Delicious breakfast and coffee. Nice, quiet place to eat alone or with company. Friendly staff and lots of healthy choices offered here. Hot chocolate was amazing.

    La Madeleine is one of my go to places for a casual brunch or lunch. The consistency of quality is impeccable. I have not had a bad experience with the restaurant & this location was no exception. The staff were helpful, patient, & kind. My group took awhile to make a decision on our meal and the staff patiently awaited. The atmosphere was lovely! The fireplace was lit and we were transported to a French cottage. Our favorites include Chicken La Madeleine, quinoa, chicken salad, & the parfait. I highly recommend!

    a variety of desserts on display

    Bonjour!!! Its really hard to control myself when I go here. I am obsessed with sweets and this place satisfies my craving every time. My favorite thing to get there is the sacher torte cake. It is a raspberry chocolate cake. You can buy it by the slice or get the whole cake. So many options to choose from like cookies, cheesecake and muffins. They have a breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu. I need to go back to try something savory!

    Great food. They have much outdoor seating. Prices are reasonable. The bistro turkey was delicious. Highly recommend.

    Goodness awaits inside this bag!

    I fa la la la love La Madeleine. On the day I went I got it to go, but the French style bistro restaurant is so cozy and charming that I will be back to dine in again and again. A few of my favorite things here are the Tomato Basil soup-rich, creamy and full of flavor. Hits the spot especially on a cold day. The Chicken Friand is a time honored classic-tender chicken, mushrooms, onion and swiss in a puff pasty topped with mushroom sauce. It's delicious. I also love the Caesar Salad here-they make the dressing in house and it is high on the list of best dressings ever. I like the salad topped with the balsamic marinated chicken as well as the chilled salmon. Both are great and I usually have a hard time deciding between the two. As for the pastries, well it almost goes without saying that they taste as good as they look. I am particularly fond of the mini lemon tarts. Bon appetit!

    I picked up breakfast from Keller's Bakery Downtown and went with a few different items to share…read more The blueberry muffin was soft with a lightly crisp top, and the cinnamon roll had a tender center without being overly sweet. We also tried a ham and cheese croissant, which had a flaky crust and a good amount of filling. Everything was packed carefully and still tasted fresh when we got home. It was a straightforward bakery visit with a good mix of sweet and savory options.

    A co-worker of mine raved about how delicious Keller's King Cake Amaretto Walnut Cream Cheese is,…read moreand insisted that I give it a try. Since it's a local bakery, I thought, "Why not? I'm always up for supporting my community." So, I headed to one of their downtown locations on Friday after work to place my order. The cashier, Nyla, told me to come back the next day--Saturday--around 10 AM for pickup. Saturday rolled around, and I could hardly contain my excitement. I woke up early and eagerly counted down the minutes until my pickup time. I arrived at the bakery at exactly 10 a.m. and approached the counter to give my name for the order. However, my enthusiasm quickly turned into confusion when one of the staff members returned, unable to locate my order. She asked me for my full name again, which I provided, but after another five minutes, another woman from the back emerged, confirming they still couldn't find any record of it. I expressed my disbelief, explaining that I had placed my order with Nyla just the day before. In response, Riley, another staff member, sought out Nyla for clarification. Although Nyla acknowledged that my name sounded familiar, she seemed to avoid making eye contact with me, which added to my discomfort. After further searching with no results, Riley asked if I had the receipt. Unfortunately, I didn't bring it along, to which she coldly replied that without the receipt, they couldn't confirm whether I had actually paid for the cake. It struck me as absurd--when Nyla took my order, she never mentioned that I would need the receipt for pickup, nor did I anticipate that my name alone wouldn't suffice. I challenged Riley, asking what the point was of taking my full name if they couldn't keep track of their orders. She explained that during the busy Mardi Gras season, they had numerous orders to manage, which seemed to be an inadequate excuse for their oversight. After what felt like an intense and unnecessary interrogation lasting over 15 minutes, Riley finally handed me the coveted King Cake, but not without delivering a condescending remark: "I'm assuming you've paid for it," she said, her tone and facial expression dripping with skepticism. This comment stung, especially coming from someone representing a local business I was eager to support. On the drive home, I couldn't shake the feeling that I had been accused of theft. So, as soon as I got home, I searched for the receipt. Once I found it, I drove back to Keller's to clear things up and prove I wasn't stealing. Upon my return, I approached one of the staff members and confidently presented my receipt, stating, "Look, I paid for this King Cake yesterday; I'm not attempting to steal." I asked if they would take back the King Cake and refund my money. Just then, Riley appeared from the kitchen, acknowledging that they had indeed misplaced my order and she had spoken with her manager who offered an apology. However, I firmly told her that an apology was insufficient after being treated as if I were a thief. "Do you now believe me?" I asked, but Riley simply reiterated her apology while I expressed that my morning had been ruined by the entire experience. To make matters worse, the manager never took the initiative to come forward and address the situation or apologize to me directly. To the management and owner of Keller's Bakery, I have several pointed questions: First, why was this situation not handled with professionalism and care? The failure to manage it properly is disappointing. Second, what would have happened if I didn't have the receipt? Would my word not be enough to be believed? Does trust depend on factors like race or socio-economic status in your establishment? This entire experience has left me with a bitter taste from the treatment I received. I can say with certainty that I will never recommend Keller's Bakery to friends or coworkers, nor will I return to support a business that lacks fundamental values of respect and accountability.

    Y'all. Bonne Vie is simply amazing. So amazing, I'm wondering where to even start?!…read more Every time I come here I feel like I've just stepped into a French cafe somewhere in Paris. Heather has set up this shop so perfectly with such wonderful attention to detail... from the music softly piping through the speakers to the beautiful furnishings. Even the art on the walls is carefully thought out. If that wasn't enough, there is a Little Free Library here! And it is the most beautiful one I've ever seen and there is nothing little about it...there are so many books! If you are a book lover like me you will feel like you've died and gone to heaven. And just when you thought this place couldn't be any cuter you find out they do themes every week and reflect the theme into the delicious goodies. Themes like Bridgerton, Barbie, Harry Styles, Star Wars and Taylor Swift. SO much fun, so stinking adorable and the desserts aren't just gorgeous to look at, they are delicious, too. Bonne Vie is such a local treasure!!!

It was about 15 minutes off the highway on our trip back from New Orleans to Texas on a Friday, and hubby rarely lets me down when I propose a foodie detour -- so he was game! Thank goodness I didn't read the reviews too closely beforehand because apparently they can sell out early. We rolled in around 11:30 am, and while there was a short line, it moved quickly -- and they still had EVERY flavor available. Score! We opted for a box of four ($3.50 for a standard flavor, $3.75 for a seasonal one) -- honestly, way cheaper (and better) than that sad Crumbl franchise. We went with the s'mores (the gal in front of us said she came in just for that one), a mint Oreo, a butter cookie, and a chocolate one with cheesecake inside. It's now one day later, and there's only one left -- that's how good they are! The texture is that perfect slightly under-baked middle, which, in my humble opinion, is the superior way to bake a cookie. Of the three I've tried so far, the mint Oreo has been my favorite -- rich, chewy, and perfectly balanced between chocolate and mint. The s'mores was also fantastic -- melty and gooey in all the right ways. On to the owner's story -- which is seriously inspiring. Caroline started baking cookies at 21 during Covid, selling them to friends and family. She quickly realized she had a business on her hands. With the help of her dad -- who's also a business owner -- she launched this company, and now she's absolutely killing it with three Louisiana locations, a growing team of employees, and a reputation for selling out almost daily. What she's built takes guts, and it's clear she's not just surviving -- she's thriving. But what I love most is that she didn't settle for a boring, cookie-cutter (pun intended) storefront. Nope -- the place is FUN. The doors and walls are painted with playful cookie designs, and the vibe is super inviting. You can tell Caroline put real thought into making the space feel special. Even the merch is next level -- embroidered sweatshirts that are super high quality. Yeah, they're $50, but honestly, they feel like the kind of sweatshirt you'd live in all winter. I came this close to buying one for MY sister Caroline -- but alas, budget constraints got the best of me (for now). And the marketing? Genius. She's got that cool, low-key social media strategy that makes you feel like you stumbled upon a secret -- even though the line out the door proves otherwise. It's not just the cookies that make you want to keep coming back -- it's the whole experience. Caroline's story, her energy, the atmosphere -- it all makes you want to root for her and support the business. I'm already thinking about my next road trip just to swing by again (and maybe justify that sweatshirt purchase).
