Nothing describes what it’s like to go to La Madeleine. The food there is delicious, they have pastas, entrees and delicious desserts. The manager, Tony was very nice to us and friendly. The bathrooms had french lessons playing instead of music. The outside of the restaurant looks like it’s located in France and the whole place is magical. Any dish with chicken in it is automatically an amazing one. Again, the food is heaven, highly recommend!
My family love the food and service. Great atmosphere. ?

Always has a long wait. It's not the fault of the staff because they always seem understaffed which would be the fault of management.Frequently they get my takeout orders wrong or missing something but the food is good, and it's in a walkable area so I keep coming back.Hope they can fix their staffing issues soon, because having a nice cafe in the area is convenient especially after corner bakery closed.

French patisserie, the croissants are really good! The coffee machine was not working ? and for us the coffee is the most important part of the breakfast. The strawberry waffle had a weird cream inside. For my perspective, it is an average place to eat.

They told me they were closing early today at 3:00 because of the snow so I got there at 2:50 for a loaf of bread and a dessert and they would not serve me. I wasn’t even asking for them to make anything. What I wanted was right there in front of me. No longer a customer.
Health, fresh and tasty breakfast in downtown crown(Gaithersburg). Their pastries and coffee are one of the best..

The 'machine' was broken. ?No lattes because apparently steaming milk and mixing it with coffee or tea is a skill beyond human comprehension.Coffee and tea were still available. But the hot water for tea wasn't hot at all, just warm. And one of the two coffee dispensers didn't have enough to fill a single cup.The camomile tea was weak. Probably because the not-hot water.The mushroom soup was good.Features: I don't recall seeing staff not wearing masks.

Some bakery items were decent, but I wouldn't say delicious.Coffees - I've had better especially for the $.Salad - not tasty and wasn't fresh.Our experience wasn't the best. Service is awful and no, it wasn't busy. Our ordered got forgotten about twice! I could understand if they were busy, but they weren't.I had to wait over 20mins for my beverage!Staff- didn't looks happy and as a matter fact, expressed discontent being at work -> Doesn't really help a customer feel welcomed.Cleanliness - lacking to say the least. Found several tea spoons dirty! Table with dirty dishes for over 2 hours.In desperate need of better management! Unfortunate given the resturant has potential, but not with this type of service.Parking: Plenty of parking, especially in parking garage found around back.Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere is perfect for little ones and families. HOWEVER, cleanliness is lacking and tables are not cleaned right away. During the 2 hours we were there, it wasn't until we were leaving that we finally saw someone cleaning the tables and picking up the dirty dishes.Wheelchair accessibility: Big double doors that can be easily opened to make it wheelchair accessible.

Cashier got my order wrong, had to ask supervisor for help, and then they didn't make my latte until I pointed out the reason I was still standing right there was my latte, and I had to show my receipt for them to believe they owed me a latte.
