La Madeleine Reviews
Terrible terrible service lately. have been going for years since before they moved and the employees can barely be bothered to help you. I never give bad reviews but after my last visit today I have to. The lady behind the counter just looked at me and would not say hello (even after I did) and just stared at me. she finally mumbled can I help you. She sees me at least 2-3 times a week and it’s always the same!
The employees there now act like they can barely stand to look...read full review

La Madeleine is a highly recommended restaurant known for its quick and friendly service, delectable food, and amazing pastries. The crepes, crème brûlée, and delicious Potato Galette are particularly praised, along with the almond croissant. The staff is consistently friendly and accommodating, providing great service even during busy times. However, some guests noted that it would be nicer if customers could take a seat and wait for waiters to come to their tables.
The atmosphere has a lovely ambiance, though some find the cafe's interior could be cozier and more welcoming, as it resembles a barn. The dining area can be snug, and there are some concerns regarding accessibility, as the tables are close together and there were no specific accommodations for mobility equipment. The ordering process combines counter service and dine-in, which can be confusing for first-time visitors, as the register is at the end of the kitchen window line.
Despite these minor issues, most guests enjoy their experience. The food is delicious and reasonably priced, making it great for casual outings. Many have commented on the helpfulness of the staff, and the little touches, like French translations in the restrooms, add charm. Overall, La Madeleine continues to attract repeat customers who appreciate the scrumptious food and friendly service.
