It's a smallish space and indoor seating was really full at 11 AM on a weekday. Because of rain, the outdoor benches were not in use, and I saw closed-up patio-umbrellas too. I ordered from a kiosk or you could order online or in person. I got the bacon egg and cheese croissant and it was made quickly by welcoming staff. It was a regular size croissant with very light cheese and a layer of crispy bacon pieces in a well toasted croissant. The flavor was good. This café also sells a number of beverages, including fresh ground espresso, and various teas And they sell some bakery goods, candies, and quite a variety of dry-packaged teas and coffee. The parking right in front Café Jun can get pretty full, but there's plenty parking in the rest of the shopping center. You can enter the shopping area from eastbound US-40 Baltimore National Pike, or from westbound Frederick Road. It's just east of Centennial Lane/Bethany Lane and about a mile West of US 29. The larger shopping area has a diner 3-strip mall sections, one of which is called Princess Shopping Center, so I'm a little confused which mall-name covers which shops. They have a summer concert planned! That should be fun!

I ate here on a Saturday in late April around 11:00AM. The line was out the door and seating was…read morepacked inside. People do seem to respect the 90MIN seating window though so you should be able to find a seat. You order and pay at the counter first and then they give you a table number card. This is how they find you to serve your food. I ordered a regular matcha latte, a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on croissant bread and their famous croffle. I loved their matcha latte. It's pre-sweetened so no need to add extra vanilla syrup or anything. This does not taste like a traditional matcha, which in my opinion tastes like dirt. This is a sweeter, dessert like matcha. I didn't care for the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. It was kind of dry and it tasted like something was missing. The croffle was amazing. It has a nutty, pecan like taste to it and it was topped with vanilla gelato and blueberries. I couldn't really taste the maple syrup but it was delicious nonetheless.

The beverages were unattractive and cheaply prepared. I asked for one of the sandwiches on the menu and was told, "No sandwiches; we turned off the grill." It was a 1:55pm. They close at 3pm. I ended up with a bottle of water, then went outside to sit with my friends because inside was just depressing. Gloomy, dark interior; proprietor and spouse run business. The energy is that they're tired and don't like their customers.

Extremely disappointing experience. I purchased a cake for $50 around 7 PM, and when I brought it…read morehome, I discovered that the cake was completely frozen and impossible to eat. No one informed me that the cake was frozen, and there was no indication on the box. What made the situation even worse was my experience with the store manager.I expected the manager to listen, take responsibility, and try to resolve the issue, but instead I felt dismissed and treated very poorly. The customer service was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. I paid $50 for a cake that my family and I could not enjoy. Customers should be clearly informed if a cake is sold frozen, especially when purchasing it ready to eat.I am very disappointed with both the quality of the product and the way my complaint was handled. I expected much better from this bakery and its management.

It took a while for the flight to be prepared because I think they're a little bit shortstaffed on a Monday morning, but they had a lot of comfortable places to sit and wait. The corn beef sandwich came out good and I mentioned it was simple because it's literally just corn beef with some white bread and some cheese, but it was actually pretty tasty for breakfast. The coffee flight came out and it's on a large paddle and it looked really delicious. I have to say the regular flavored lattes and the croissant weren't my favorite choices, but as I started moving down the paddleboard towards flavored lattes and the Blondi bar, it was pretty good. My favorite latte was the butter beer and my favorite pastry actually turned out to be the Blondie brownie bar. The inside has enough seating for about 50 people and it's really cutely decorated. I highly recommend stopping in if you're in the mood for a coffee after a day of shopping in Ellicott city.

Looking at the reviews, I was super excited to try out this quaint cafe in Old Ellicott. The…read moreservice was okay and the owner came out after to check in everything. There were 6 of us, and they were able to put two tables together to accommodate us. I was overall disappointed with the food. The waffle which I paid $5 for was super small and there were just chunks of sugar in it. I also ordered scrambled eggs with spinach and cheese. The spinach came out on the side of the eggs and was uncooked. The cheese was not melted, and the eggs were burnt (dark brown and dry). The waitress was kind enough to take the eggs back for the cheese and spinach to be mixed/melted. They were still burnt and flavorless. I picked around and ate what I could. I also ordered some kind of spinach and feta pastry from the front case, which was good. We also all enjoyed the homefries which were crispy with a unique seasoning. We ordered the stuffed french toast which had a great flavor, but it wasn't really stuffed, there were just toppings on it. My nephew ordered the chicken and waffles. He's 15. I'm guessing that waitress assumed he was a kid and gave him the kids portion. Either way, the fried chicken looked like two pieces of frozen chicken schnitzel. My mother ordered the Reuben and did not like it at all because it lacked flavor.

My partner got one of the chocolate cakes. His was a good choice, which he really enjoyed. My almond croissant had very little almond paste (a teaspoon or less in a large, very dry cardboardy croissant) - in France it would have been sold as yesterday's bread. I could not drive back 45 minutes to show them (they close at 8 pm). But don't sell old breads in the evening. A large amount of almond cream might have kept it moist - but the tiny amount helped keep it dry. Selling what I bought - is SOOO wrong in so many ways.

The menu is fairly consistent, with a few seasonal specials added throughout the year. The food is reliably prepared with fresh ingredients, and the presentation is usually appealing. One of the restaurant's most charming features is the large brick-enclosed fireplace in the center of the dining room. During our recent visit, it was still roaring despite the summer heat wave, adding to the warm and inviting atmosphere. The menu offers several dependable favorites, and the bakery display case is always tempting, filled with an assortment of pastries and desserts. Fresh-baked breads are also available for purchase, though the more popular varieties often sell out as the day progresses. What keeps us coming back is the relaxed setting. There's no pressure to rush through your meal, making it an ideal place to linger over lunch, catch up with friends, and enjoy a satisfying meal in comfortable surroundings. Overall, La Madeleine continues to be a pleasant and dependable choice for a casual meal and good conversation.
