    The inside
    Desideseos A.

    I found this place on Yelp! The decor is super cute, it has a tropical-vibe. The service was good (you order at the counter.) Where I felt Madeline could've done better was the taste of the food for the price. I believe I paid over $20 for my BLT. It was okay, but the bacon was too overcooked. I would've requested they remake it, but I was starving. I think the staff should check-in on the customers more. I would definitely give it another try next time I'm in the area. Some ideas to the owners would be: have some music playing, have a small cabinet of cards or table games to encourage conversation, and offer a point card for your loyal customers.

    This café is absolutely adorable. I visited on a chilly day, and while the patio seating was cute, it was a bit too cold, so I moved inside, which ended up being very cozy. The customer service was excellent, and I really appreciated how this location incorporates Latino flavors into the menu. That said, some items fell a little short for me. The crepe was very rich and could have used a bit more salt to balance the flavors. The banana latte was good, but I was hoping the banana flavor would shine through a bit more. Overall, it's still a lovely spot with great service, and I'm definitely willing to come back and try other menu items to see if my experience changes.

    Madeleine has opened in a ground floor area of the Los Patios Apartments in Barrio Logan. Unlike its older brethren, the word 'cafe' has been omitted from the business name, however the ownership was the same. Curbside parking on National Ave or a nearby side street was available. The space was more expansive than it looked from the outside. To the right of the service counter was an open courtyard within the interior of the complex that provided on-site seating. It was a relaxing atmosphere with plenty of natural lighting. The two-page menu featured breakfast plates, lunch plates, and drinks. Baked goods and pastries were on display at the service counter. I was passing by the area and wanted a beverage and a dessert. My choices were the French Lemonade and a Passionfruit Cheesecake. The drink was blend of fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and sparkling water topped with a mint sprig. It was sufficiently tart, however the fizzy water detracted. The cheesecake was shaped like a large round tart. The base layer was cheesecake while a passionfruit gelatin made up the top that was adorned by four strawberry slices. The sweet treat looked beautiful and was priced at $10. If I had more time and brought my laptop, then I would have ordered a plate and hung out in the courtyard to do some work. My visit to this newest branch of Madeleine was at a four star level.

    Was in barrio logan on a Saturday morning with some friends and was looking for a place to have brunch and saw Madeline has recently opened. I've been a fan of their north park location and heard their barrio logan location was focused on more mexican-style dishes, which we loved! The vibes of the space were immaculate, beautiful and inviting. The whole space felt really great to see and sit in, loved the color scheme and how airy it was in there. The service was also wonderful, everyone was so nice there. The food was good, though a few dishes were so salt. On one hand, i was like wow these dishes have more seasoning than most places so yessss, but most of us agreed that every breakfast dish felt a bit over salted, especially the spanish omelette. They had just opened though as well so i imagine they'll be adjusting some flavors here and there. The Cubano sandwich though was delicious, hands down fire. stuffed and the fries were crissssp in the best way. wil def come back to try some pastries, and the coffee was great too!

    Cortado & Butter Croissant
    Jack M.

    This is a fairly knew Madeleine location in the Barrio Logan, San Diego. I stopped in a little after 8 am Sunday morning. I wanted one of their famous almond croissants but they were still 30 minutes away from being ready, so I had to settle for a butter croissant. I didn't understand why the baked goods were not ready since they had already been open since 7 am. At any rate, the cortado I ordered was very well made. It was smooth with a rich coffee flavor. On a side note, they use "illy Coffee," a terrific 100% Arabica Coffee. The butter croissant was very good. It was quite buttery, slightly flaky, and soft. It tasted very good. Next time, the almond croissant for sure. The service at the counter was very good. The young gent who made my cortado did a great job. I was disappointed that the pastry and baked goods display was not filled when I visited. It's nice to see all those wonder items in the display. They offer a very good amount of inside seating. Street parking only.

    Banana Cajeta Latte

    Stopped by to meet up with a coworker and can report that this is a solid spot to do WFH if you want! As you can see the food looks delicious and there are specific coffees they have here versus their north park location. It does get a bit chilly here and with the open roof concept, it has potential to get a little loud. However it's very cozy and the staff was very warm and inviting. Will come back again to check out more stuff on the menu!

    Omelet, chilaquiles, basic breakfast

    My friends and I had just finished up yoga and wanted a quick bite. We stopped at Madeline's and it was so amazing. Don't let the simplicity of the outside fool you, it is absolutely gorgeous! They have a cute inside seating area, perfect for a meal with friends. You order at the counter and they bring out the food to your table. Everything came out quick, hot, and super yummy! I got the salted caramel cold brew, and I'm still thinking about it. Can't wait to go back!

    Raspberry Tart

    Stumbled upon this little gem in Barrio Logan after dropping off a Turo rental and I am well pleased I did! Lots of coffee choices I remember growing up with in my own hometown barrio. The service is so friendly and the ambiance is very relaxing and clean. They offer a great selection of wines and pastries, (try the tarts!) along with several breakfast items. I will be back when in the San Diego area!

    Tbh the food was a bit salty but it was my kind of salty. Should they pull back a little, yes. The staff are nice, the decoration is great. 5 stars for sure.

    First time here and the food was fantastic! Chilaquiles, Breakfast Panini & Nutella Crepe were all very flavorful. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Meile latte
    Christopher L.

    It's great to have this location here in barrio logan now! The vibe and decor is pretty nice, it's within a lobby of a complex. The drinks were good and the food was solid. Got the madaleine omelette and the meile latte. Great place to chill and work away from home!

    Came with a friend and enjoyed the space. Very cute and cozy. Only thing is it's a little breezy but overall cute ambiance. Service is also super friendly.

Wait outside on the sidewalk (no exterior seating) and someone will come to take you inside. Do not ring the door bell. The theme is to take it slow. Each customer typically waits 20-30 minutes to enter as part of how they do things, even if there is open seating inside. Not sure if they use a timer to space entries but it seems consistent. They take one group in at a time. Interior: A few tables around the wall and then bar seating. Would not recommend for parties greater than 2, there just isn't the space. They welcome service animals, babies/children and strollers from what I observed. The music was very, very loud. It was difficult to hold a conversation. I did not see a bathroom. Ordering process: After seating you wait for a little bit for them to bring small water cups and a QR menu with a table number and a set of rules. They do not have a physical menu, you must use your phone to order. Cell phone reception was dicey and took a long time to load. They have an interesting concept where you have a digital 'tab' open on their toast website. Unfortunately you must provide your full name, email and phone number. They have pour over drinks (note these can take 15-20 minutes), matcha, Hojicha and others. You may only order one drink per person at a time. They have a small snack menu with rotating foods. They use oat milk only. No substitutions allowed. After mobile ordering, drinks take 20-30 minutes as part of their take it slow vibe. Matcha $8 is from Paru tea and was very good. Hojicha $8 was too milky and didn't have a strong enough flavor. When you are done you walk to the register by the door and wait to be checked out. If they are making a drink you wait until they are finished. I wasn't really a fan. Staff were brusque. Music was too loud to converse.

Artwork is very beautiful and fits the Barrio Logan scene perfectly. I arrived with nobody inside the business minus the workers, you had maybe 2 people outside enjoying the scenery and their drinks. Not greeted upon entering the business just gave me that stare with not asking if I had any questions. I dont recall his name but he was very skinny, curly hair or wavy and i believe he had braces, but not sure if he was having a bad day but something wasn't all there. I ordered 2 drinks, I forget the other but it had cinnamon on top. The drinks were just hand on the counter without saying which drinks is which, so i asked which one is which. Didn't hear me, so i kinda said again and he pointed them out not in a nice or rude way but the approach of how it was handled was not friendly. How can you have Mazapán without the Mazapán crumbles which are very iconic to the drink. I just found it super strange and did not care for it. The cinnamon based drink was good tho, which I'll give them that. Experience could have been better.

Five different matcha drinks were offered along with hot and cold coffees and lattes. The top three matcha choices were priced at $8 each. I chose the Ordinary Pleasure which was the first one. Pandan sticky rice milk and mango puree were added to the matcha and topped with a salted coconut foam. I wasn't a fan of the foam, but the matcha flavor was intense and contrasted by the fruity puree on the bottom of the cup. The baristas were very focused with measuring the exact amounts for each ingredient in the drinks they were preparing. The matcha quality seemed to be very good based on what I tasted so maybe it's why the price was $1 higher than what I have tried elsewhere.

This is the only local street in which I have seen vehicles parallel park in the median of the road without any concern from law enforcement.

There was an outdoor kitchen setup behind the house including a wood-fired pizza oven, smoker, Santa Maria grill, and fire pit. All of the seating was al fresco either at tables in the front patio or at picnic tables in the backyard and deck. You walk up the steps and through the front door to place your order at the service counter in the main room. Some prepared foods and drinks were available as grab and go items. Pizzas and paella will be the main focus of their menu. For the soft opening, four pizzas, a vegan paella, and skirt steak tacos were the choices. I chose the last item for my meal. Arracherra skirt steak, grilled onions, and chiles were accompanied by flour tortillas and guacasalsa. The components were placed on a rectangular cutting board as a serving vessel. The steak was cooked medium rare and then sliced into pieces that could fit inside a tortilla. The two grilled chiles had a nice smoky flavor to them.
