Had eaten half before I remembered to take a picture. They do have online ordering (which I didn't use today but might speed up the line.) That said, I've been before with friends for lunch and was less impressed. Floors and tables were pretty dirty by midday, and my salad had some moldy leaves. I've heard similar commentary on lunch from others. Overall, highly recommend for pastries and coffee!!

The staff is extremely friendly and goes above and beyond. Whenever I place an online order, it's always ready very quickly and they know it's for me as soon as I walk in the door! Their prices are high, but I do not mind because it is a local family owned business with great coffee. As long as we live here we will keep coming back.

I've come back to this place quite a few times now and the coffee is always delicious. They have so…read moremany different flavor combinations to try. My favorites so far have been the maple spice brown sugar and the cookie butter white mocha. The baristas are also very friendly and offered me a punch card for drinks! The bagels are super tasty and the garlic & herb cream cheese I ordered with it was so good. The only qualm I had was that I felt like there wasn't a lot of egg for the size of the breakfast sandwich so it felt like I just had more bread than anything. The price of the coffees can also get a little expensive but the taste is worth it. Cant wait for my next visit!

The iced vanilla matcha was a 10/10! It had the perfect balance of earthy matcha flavor and…read moresweetness. Matcha is still growing on me, and this was the perfect drink to make me appreciate it even more. I also tried the croissant, warmed up, and it was light, flaky, and absolutely delicious. I'll definitely be back! The café also had a steady crowd, which seemed to be mostly local, a great sign that this place is a neighborhood favorite. Overall, a wonderful experience with great drinks, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Service was also super friendly and there was also some nice outdoor seating available so you could bring your dog if you wanted to as well.

La Madeleine is a great spot to get together for a healthy meal.  There are…read morea lot of choices and options and everything is quick and easy when you order at the counter.  It is nice to be able to see all the food which can help make your decision.  I chose a combination of a Caesar salad and accompanying lentil soup and fruit salad.  You can choose any three to make your own combo but I enjoyed all of the three options I selected.  Mine was dished out right away but if you have to wait, you just take a number, find a table and they will bring your food to you.  There is a self-serve water and utensil/napkin area with free bread slices if you would like.  The space has both large and small tables.  We had a meeting with 8 people and we fit easily and had no problems hearing each other as the restaurant was not overly noisy.  La Madeleine Reston is easily located and there is a very big parking lot right out front.

The crème brûlée is smooth and rich, also leaning sweet rather than balanced. Drinks follow the same pattern: creamy, mild, and approachable, with the whipped cream version noticeably more dessert-like. Warm atmosphere, efficient service, and fair pricing. 5/5 within its category--predictable, satisfying, and well executed for what it is.

The food was tasty with a generous portion of dressing and avocado with high quality chicken. The service was excellent with a lovely person at register and spacious interior. There are no cups of water and you would have to buy a bottle of water or bring your own water bottle for the fountain-the cheapest water bottle is a dollar each. I would definitely would be interested in returning :) Like the other reviews are mentioning, the location is a bit difficult to find compared to other nearby businesses without its own large sign-it's between Sunrise Valley Center and Elite Supermarket on the second floor. I took the stairs up and not sure how accessible it would be to those in a wheelchair or who cannot climb stairs easily.

Nevertheless I never had an issue when I went. I thought the ambiance was very nice. The seating is cute and when you order "for here" they serve you in a very cute mug. I've had the red eye and the coconut chai. I didn't know this until after the fact: the coconut chai does not include coconut milk only coconut flakes. The baristas were nice about the misunderstanding. Bonus: The bakery offers physical loyalty punch cards. Ask for one if you are a fan of your drink!

The space is unique and cozy, filled with romantic decor that makes it feel like home. The food and pastries are just as amazing as the atmosphere. I tried their rose latte, topped with delicate rose petals. It was so pretty and uniquely flavorful. I've also tried their pesto poulet sandwich (baguette, pesto chicken, tomato, green pepper, and mozzarella cheese) and it was super yum! The chocolate hazelnut pastry is a perfect companion for the coffee, and you can ask for your pastry to be warmed up, which is even better. Bonus: they serve the coffee in a cute mug, which is such a nice touch. Love when I can have my coffee in a mug! Employees are nice, and the service is great! Plenty of seating and parking is easy. This café is perfect for a relaxed morning, brunch, or an afternoon treat. I am already planning my next visit!

This review is solely based on my most recent visit and not any previous ones. I originally thought…read morestars, but then changed to 3 stars for a couple reasons. As soon as I walked in, I received a generic greeting, but I was okay with it. Usually the baristas are way too busy to even greet customers as they walk in. I decided to place my order through the app to make it easier (for me) since I always have "complicated" orders to say out loud. They were really busy but as I was patiently standing there, waiting for my drink, the barista asked what drink I'm waiting for and started on it right away. There isn't any indoor seating available, but there is outdoor seating. There was once indoor seating available, so not sure if this was a temporary or permanent change. I was hoping to be able to charge my phone, but there weren't any outlets available indoors or outdoors. The bathrooms are only for customers, which makes sense, keeps random non-customers from using them...gives slight NY vibes. However, I believe they require a code from staff.
