Madeleine Bakery and Bistro

I was actually delivering a package to this bakery and knew I had to grab something to eat when I walked in! The staff are genuinely kind people. I had a turkey sandwich which was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had! 10/10 ❤️ very cute location, whole place smells like fresh baking bread which is a huge plus! bringing the wife back to check it out soon

There are very few places I can recommend as highly as this one. From one career baker to another Bravo! I stop here every time I'm in Pittsburgh, and I've never had anything I wouldn't describe as phenomenal.

Absolutely phenomenal bakery in a quaint setting with high quality products that are done with skill and love!!! The croissants are what you hoped all the other croissants you ever had were like!!! But now you can taste what they're supposed to taste like if you take the time to stop and get some for yourself! We tried croissants, baguettes & scones. This was our 1st time here after hearing about it on the PTL show earlier this year. We will make this bakery a regular stop! Thank you for bringing a much needed business to Pittsburgh!

PHENOMENAL French pastries, such a hidden gem. Rivals many of the pastries I have had it France itself. I recommend every item in the display vase, but my personal favorites were the Basque Cake (it’s like Madeleine cookie meets almond croissant) and literally any of their insanely flakey croissants. Chocolate croissants also had wonderful chocolate inside- I find many bakeries put too much or too little chocolate or make the chocolate too dark but I thought it was perfect. Prices are good for such gourmet items, ex. Basque Cake (a more expensive item) was only $5 vs over. $10 at other local spots. The bakery definitely feels like it is just made for neighborhood locals. There is no seating ( besides 2 small tables outside), there is no menu explaining their coffee options (options are limited, coffee quality is nothing special, I’d recommend going a block down the street to the other cafe, and no mocha/hot chocolate), staff is not super welcoming (which arguably makes it more French), and street parking is difficult. But, it is soooo worth the trip.

Amazing, one of the best in Pittsburgh, easily top 3 or 5 in all of PGH metro. Great flavors, perfect level of sweetness, nice quaint area, I loved it and would easily recommend.

This bakery is one of the best in Pittsburgh. The croissants here will remind you of your trips to Paris. I love their ham and butter sandwiches and the morning bun as a part of my other favorites. This is a neighborhood spot, but people come from all over Pittsburgh to get baked goods. Get there early before they sell out if your favorites. At the end of most days it’s just odds and ends left over.

Truly a staple of the community. Their fresh-baked breads and seasonal sandwiches are to die for. Outside there are cafe style tables during warmer months. There's a spot to the left of the door to tie up your pup's leash while you run inside.

My only complaint is that I live too close to the place and it’s thrown my attempt at a diet into a tailspin. Seriously, everything is so good. You cannot go wrong. The chocolate chip cookies are the best I’ve ever had. The croissants are ridiculous. The baguettes. All of it.

This is a charming stand alone building like it was transported from a French village. A small selection of croissants, cakes, baguettes, and cookies. All exquisite. You can get a coffee and sit at tables outside in a lovely quiet neighborhood. Friendly helpful staff.

The bakery portions are huge. I don't think I've ever seen a croissant that big before. They tasted great but I just wish they had smaller portions.
