    Croque Madame
    Ryan W.

    This is always a nice, affordable French-style café to visit when you're craving that authentic taste of French cuisine. The quaint ambience feels wonderfully cozy and inviting. That said, it's always better to come during off-peak hours otherwise, it can feel like a madhouse packed into a sardine can. You can't beat the cheap mimosas for brunch. My go-to dish is the Croque Madame, an excellent, generous portion of the classic French hot sandwich, made with ham and Gruyère cheese on bread, topped with a creamy béchamel or Mornay sauce and a fried or sunny-side-up egg. It makes me want one just talking about it. The desserts in their display case look far more tempting than they actually taste. But no matter, I don't come here for the pastries and treats. The kids always seem to enjoy coming here as well. Will continue to pop in for brunch!

    Turkey bistro sandwich
    Royce S.

    Haven't been here in awhile. I still get a feel of coziness when I come here. Came here for lunch after church and was glad they had a new option of Pick 3. Get a half sandwich, side and drink for as low as $8.99 depending on your sandwich and side. I ordered the Turkey bistro sandwich with a cup of their wonderful tomato soup and a glass of ice tea. Everything was delicious and my stomach was satisfied without being stuffed. I have nere had a bad experience here and the food and employees are always great.

    Country French Breakfast!
    Steve G.

    Excellent breakfast! We were in the neighborhood and had not been here in a really long time. It was great! Excellent food, excellent coffee, and nice people - right down to the "merci" we heard over and over. Bravo to the perfect "over hard" eggs! Very good!

    Salad and chicken. Very little salad.

    I picked up the chicken breast with red mashed potatoes and almond green beans. Good portions but no taste whatsoever! I thought French food was supposed to be some what tasty with a little spice. This meal is bland. Mashed potatoes tasted like instant mashed potatoes. Green bean no taste ,mushroom sauce was watered down and the chicken not much taste either. Ii think out of 20 visits maybe twice the meal was good. You guys need a cook that actually cares about the food he prepares. This is not the first time my meal taste like a box food. Shame on y'all.

    All in all this location is very nice very clean. Looks weird from the outside for sure but inside you definitely get that French Café fuel. The employees are absolutely wonderful. You have a great cook in the back. His name is Jerry such a good guy so sweet just all in all amazing customer service and then the management is also fabulous Mike is very kind and efficient. The food was delicious everything came out great as you can tell hardly anything is left I will definitely be back to support my fellow Kings.

    The outside is so cute and the inside is super quaint. The customer service was wonderful everyone one was so kind! The food was even better. Imagine like a fancy version of ihop that's also cheaper with better quality food. Definitely will be coming back

    American Breakfast
    Steph W.

    Great for brunch. It is a quick service, therefore can be slow and have a line. Try their coffee they have American and French options and decaf. The breakfast sandwich tasted average and very simple. It does come with an option of fruit salad side, which tasted delicious. We did get the regular size fruit tart, delicious. Overall quick and easy, average food. Slow service, though, took about 30 minutes for our food to come out. Spacious seating though find your seat fast as it fills up. They have self-serve coffee, so can keep refilling your own coffee. On a good note, they do have great condiments which included gray poupon Dijon mustard!

    Linzer cookie and chocolate torte

    Wish there were more locations of La Madeline, especially in Austin. Their food / meals are always good! When you join their "club" on the app, you get a free pastry birthday gift. I got the chocolate torte, and I couldn't resist and bought my favorite Linzer cookie that they offer

    Delicious as always. It's been awhile since we've been to this la Madeleine but lunch was just as fantastic as we were hoping it would be. The server who helped us was quick with our order and let me pick out which Friand I'd like for my meal as we went in during a slow period. The place was clean, the pastry shelf was stocked with delicious sweet and savory treats, and, as is the norm for this restaurant chain, we were greeted and thanked by the staff in French and heard French lessons being played overhead in the bathrooms. This time around, we ordered a Bowl of Tomato Basil Soupe and the Chicken Friand. The Tomato Basil Soupe was delicious, creamy, and savory, and though I am typically not a fan of tomato soups, this one has always been the exception. Since the self-serve bread bar was not available at this location, we made sure to ask the staff for some bread to eat with it and enjoy it to the fullest. It is incredibly delicious and I love that they sell it in jars to take home. My Chicken Friand was to die for. The flaky pastry was crunchy with just the right amount of softness and didn't overpower the spices of the tender chicken and sautéed mushrooms. I always ask for extra sauce as it is one of my favorite parts to this dish and they delivered. It was creamy, hot, and spiced deliciously with even more mushrooms to top off the pastry. I'd definitely recommend this location for la Madeleine fans and those who've never tried this chain before. The French comfort food and overall chateau aesthetic of the restaurant is always so enjoyable, especially for meal with friends. Make sure to pick up a Lemon Tarte while you're there!

    My view.

    As soon as you walk in you are greeted! I got the Turkey Bistro and the Classic French toast, which were delicious and was very satisfied with my choice. It was a simple and classic taste. Me and my friend came here to get work done and the ambiance is great. It did get a bit busy (was here around 6:40 pm - 8:30 pm) but it did not get too loud and was a perfect feel to get in the 'mood to get work done.' The wifi is great as well. I am looking forward to coming here again! (The only bad thing I can think of is that there are not many outlets available by the tables.)

    The French country decor including a real fire place makes this place unique. I recommend taking dates and people from out of town here. Or mom on Mothers Day. Our family likes this place and we have eaten here a handful of times. Never had a bad meal here. The decor & theme is complete even in the restrooms- weird to say, I know, but do visit if only to see the old style floor hexagonal tiles and artwork. Everyone was busy - clerks, cooks, servers. Efficient and helpful. Food = good! We had a custom order omelette made of Swiss cheese, mushrooms and tomatoes, which I'd order again, and the French country breakfast with bacon and sausage. The potato cake is an eye catcher. They have a separate area at the front upon entering for grab n go orders with baked goods on display. The coffee/drink bar is nifty. Yes, nifty because you can grab an assortment of things like honey, salsa, and a variety of sugars. I really enjoyed the French coffee. I'm not French but after visiting here, I'm a little envious. It makes for a memorable visit.

    My mom took me for lunch here the other day to have lunch together. We went around 12pm and luckily we did because we missed the lunch rush! My daughter and I always share food so we had a turkey bistro with fruit on the side and it was enough for us! We actually had left overs to take home which we ate a day later and it was still good. Customer service was great we were greeted right when we walked in and we were thanked for coming when we were leaving. The inside of the place was so nice they had a little fire place inside which was perfect because it was slightly chilly in there so we sat next to it.

    Nutella crepes are not made with Nutella. They didn't have cappuccino. The service people weren't very pleasant.

    Ohh La Boulangerie, what can I say but delicious. A cute spot on Broadway in downtown San Antonio…read more Sylvie the owner is originally from Western France and moved close to Paris then came to San Antonio. Their baking ingredients are sourced from France and the recipes are from her and her husband. And they're a local restaurant which I love supporting! We had the Petit Dejuener Deluxe breakfast which includes one pastry (either a croissant, chocolate croissant or bread pudding), a baguette (with either butter, homemade jam or honey), organic fresh eggs made to order or quiche slice, fresh squeezed orange juice and a yogurt with granola and fresh fruit and a black coffee or tea. It's a great option for those unable to decide on what to eat for breakfast. They have sandwiches, individual baked goods, à la carte items and hot and cold drink options as well. Coffee is strong n tasty Quiche is not dry at all Baguette and croissant are fresh baked Homemade jam Fresh squeezed OJ! Makes me happy! And for those in Austin...they opened a second location in Austin West lake area.

    Sensory nightmare. My husband called months in advance and twice more leading up to checkin to…read morerequest fragrance free and feather free room. They insisted they could accommodate us. In the lobby for checkin today, I had an instant headache because the fragrance was so strong. At that point they informed us that there is some additional fee per day on top of the already pricey room, a fee that they never disclosed before today. We continued upstairs, and I could hardly breathe in the elevator it was so scented. When we got to the room it was also heavily fragranced. I tried to call the front desk, and the phone in the room didn't work reliably. Our call dropped several times. They offered box fans for us to air out the room. However, when we opened the windows, a blast of cigarette smoke wafted into the room because it is directly above their designated smoking area. We asked the front desk for help, and they said not to worry, hardly anyone smokes in that area. Meanwhile we watched several people out there smoking almost constantly. They offered no other accommodation or help. Not worth it. Very uncomfortable and upset because this will ruin our vacation. Edit: 1 to 3 stars. The manager eventually heard our concerns, responding to a secondary issue with cigar smoke in our room after leaving windows open - their recommendation- to air out the room. They found us a different accommodation and made it more than fair and comfortable. Why not 4 stars? Because it took the entire first day to be resolved.
