La Madeleine is a spacious, French-style bistro that offers a variety of pastries, baguettes, meals, and sweet and savory crepes. The restaurant provides friendly service and a warm atmosphere. The large cappuccino remains a highlight, and the lemon blueberry pastry is sweet but not overpowering. Customers highly recommend the chicken sandwich and tomato basil soup, which pairs perfectly with a cup of tea. Popular options include the French Country breakfast with bacon and a blueberry lemon danish, along with refreshing orange juice and a wonderful cafe au lait. While the latte with caramel was disappointing due to its artificial taste and watery consistency, the sandwich and cold pasta continue to be delicious. The avocado toast is simple but tasty, and the spinach tartlet could use more flavor. Desserts such as the mini lemon pie and Nutella muffin are especially loved. Recent renovations have changed the interior, making it feel more like a corporate restaurant, but the food and friendly staff still make it a worthwhile visit.
