Cafe Madeleine, a James Beard winner in the South End, offers a variety of pastries with particularly noteworthy cannelés. The pan au chocolat and tiny walnut loaf are also delightful. While indoor seating is unavailable, their pastries can be ordered to-go. It is recommended to call ahead due to popular demand, as certain items may sell out by noon. The chocolate chip cookie, while not unique, is a pleasant thin and chewy option.
