    Cranberry & Pecan Wild Field Salad, Tomato Basil Soup, Classic Caesar Salad
    Cheryl G.

    My husband had an appointment in Pasadena within 2 hours. We needed a quick bite and go. The lunch crowd was just starting but the line moved steadily. We were in and out within an hour. The service wasn't anything out of the ordinary nor the food considering their self serve set up.

    It's been years since I've seen Madeleine... oh how I've missed you girl!! Super busy at 1228p so I got some bonbons to go. Chocolate almond croissants, creme brule and a fruit tart The almond croissants were delish; my fav. Fruit tart yummy. Creme Brule... without the candied topping, it was just creme. Wouldn't get it again

    NEW Build Your Own Breakfast Sandwich with Fruit Salade (Cup)

    A great find while we were visiting the area. Food was amazing and the interior was warm and cozy on an abnormally cold day in Texas. Food came to us fresh and hot and delicious. All staff were helpful and friendly.

    First time here, thought was a cute and yummy place for lunch. Servers were friendly. They give you a lot of food for the price. My chicken salad croissant was yummy and the Caesar salad was also delicious. Will definitely be returning to try more items.

    I have always enjoyed their food here! Staff is super friendly and greet you at the door. A lot of great French dishes in my opinion. The wife and I enjoy coming to this place it's our go to spot when we're craving pasta. They also have really good chicken sandwiches as well. Come show your support in you're in the Bay Area

    Chocolate Almond Croissant

    I love la Madeline, I've never had a bad experience at any location. I have not been in awhile. Just met a friend for an afternoon snack and cup of coffee. I ordered a chocolate almond croissant and it was delicious and fresh, the coffee was fresh and good. It was pretty crowded (which is a good sign) it's very homey and comfortable inside. There is a counter in the from for bakery and Togo items and the regular line to order food from, kinda like cafeteria style where you get in line and order with your tray and move along. Beverages are mostly self serve. Service was friendly and quick and they stayed on top on getting tables cleaned. I definitely recommend this place.

    The manager is so nice and the service but there is an employee her name is sana she was not nice at all

    This cafe was adorable. The food was not only flavorful, but beautifully presented as well. I…read moreordered the Tostada Sunrise with a side of cheesy grits to start, then treated myself to a snickerdoodle cookie and a hot white chocolate chai with oat milk to round everything out. The cookie was baked to soft perfection. I went with a friend who thankfully knew to join the waitlist about an hour before we planned to arrive, which made the wait very manageable. Had we not known that important little tip, we probably would've been waiting close to an hour. Overall, it was such a pleasant experience, and I'd definitely go back again.

    Let me preface this review by stating that I have been to this establishment multiple times & had…read moreglowing, amazing service each time. However, my last experience with this establishment left a horrible taste in my mouth. Therefore, I am giving them an extra star for the previous experiences. On May 17th, 2026, my best friend and I had been looking forward to coming to Water Oak all day and had our taste buds set for the occasion. We were famished and had quite a day up until arriving. Upon entering the restaurant, we were very briefly greeted by the a Hispanic man who I assume is the manager and told that they were "no longer seating for the day". I glanced around and saw that every table inside WAS seated, however there were many tables outside that were empty. I asked about the patio stating that us where we preferred to sit anyway, and was met with that they were also not seating the patio at all for the rest of the day. However, there was a group of 3 women seated outside on the patio at that exact time. I didn't say anything, simply turned and left. After having "one of those days" hashing out something so minute with a person who clearly didn't want us in their place of business was not something I was about to do. Keep in mind, we came on a Sunday afternoon. Prime brunch time. We arrived at the restaurant around 2:30PM, and their website says they don't close until 4PM. I am a biracial black woman and my friend is white. I noticed a significant amount of White and Latino patrons, but a shocking lack of Black people. With Houston having one of the most diverse populations in the US, it is almost impossible not to see at least one individual of each ethnicity in a place at any given time. I am definitely not one that likes to pull the race card, because oftentimes that is not the issue. However, as someone who is familiar with the service industry I understand Sundays can be extremely overwhelming. And I am cognizant that not everything is that serious. But, I am also aware that a lot of people in the industry discriminate against people of color, with stigmas that we don't leave enough gratuity or we "don't fit the vibe of their establishment". And those 3 women seated on the patio? All White. After reading recent reviews, it seems that management is discriminating against people of color, more specifically Black folks. This is an extremely disheartening and sickening realization to make, seeing as I have given well over $1,000 worth of my money here but also enjoyed many meals without issue. To management: It breaks my heart to have to write this review and to be honest, I wouldn't have written it if I hadn't seen others posting about similar experiences in addition to also feeling discriminated against. I highly suggest that if you are "not seating" after a specific time, you announce this via social media or alert potential patrons with a sign or something of the sort. & obviously, there is such an issue with treatment towards POC that it is a noteworthy problem via your Google & Yelp reviews. You will have a much bigger fish to fry on your hands if you continue to let this issue go on unrectified. I would be willing to return if I felt things were to be changed for the better in the future! Hopefully this review sparks a much needed conversation and brings attention to an area which needs work.

Although we understood it was a busy holiday evening, the overall service felt extremely unorganized. It was very apparent that employees were rushing, and the atmosphere felt chaotic rather than coordinated. My drink was made incorrectly twice. We ordered the same dishes we typically enjoy, but this time the plate presentation was noticeably different and appeared rushed, as if the food had simply been placed on the plate without care. Additionally, we chose to take a slice of cake to go instead of dining in for dessert, yet we waited over 25 minutes just to receive it. And while I waited that long no one checked in with me they just stared at me. Unfortunately, what we hoped would be a special Valentine's dinner date turned into a very disappointing experience. We have always held this restaurant to a high standard, which is why this visit was so surprising to us

They have small breakfast items such as yogurt or oatmeal bowls, you can also create your own egg bowl, or you can have one of their breakfast sandwiches. You order at their counter, and the lady was very nice and so helpful, since she had asked if it was our first time there. I ended up ordering their Farm Stand which is a bagel sandwich that has an egg patty, American cheese, and bacon. I had that with their Cuban Latte with soy milk and vanilla. My friend ordered their Avocado Toast, crushed avocado, Pico, cream cheese, and topped with a crumbled/crushed hard boiled egg on your choice of toast, she had that with a Cuban Latte as well with caramel. Everything tasted good! The only complaint I had was that the Latte wasn't sweet enough for me so we had to add sweetener, but the gentleman who made our order said we could ask them to make it sweeter next time when we put in our order that way it blends better with the coffee. They also offer baked goods such as mini donuts, macarons, cheesecake bites, mini cinnamon rolls, and more! You're also able to get lunch or early dinner here as well, I haven't seen that menu yet but their Liquids menu seems pretty large. I can't wait to come back and try their other items on the menu!
