la Madeleine

Terrific meeting place! Plenty of outdoor seating & tables. Excellent service with a great in house manager🥁drum roll

Loved the potatoe soup, everything is so fresh!

This place was really nice. Convenient location in Mandeville. And probably the best croissant I've ever had.

The soda didn't have enough syrup, the grilled cheese was barely toasted with somewhat melted cheese, overpriced, gets an extra star because at least the service was good and the scenery was clean and tidy

This place is always filthy. Standing in line at the take out counter, the customer in front of me ordered something, but they were out of bacon. He was okay with it and paid, then the employee disappeared and left me standing there. Finally, someone returned and took my order. Another customer comes in to pick up a phone order, but they were out of some items. The customer asked why didn't they call back to inform them. Employee replies "I was going to tell you when you got here." Customer cancelled the order and was disappointed after traveling from Abita Springs. The employee tells another employee and they begin to make fun of that customer in front of others who just witnessed what took place. Customer service stinks, the environment is dirty, always out of food, serving sizes got smaller but the price is the same. Skip this place and go across the street to Cafe Rani. They are always crowded but are well organized, now I know why...they get the rebound from this place. Do not recommend this place.

Gave 3 stars two years ago. We used to eat here once a week. After 2 years, not much has changed. Dining in, you still have to drink out of plastic disposable cups. The store is dirty and floors are disgusting. Get it together!

This place is in need of roof repairs badly. There were at least 3 places leaking water. One area was right near the line to pay. The food was not fresh and the place needs to be cleaned. I always loved la Madeleine, but sadly I will not return. I am surprised this place is still running.

This was my first and last visit to la Madeleine. We went for lunch and boy, they are so severely understaffed.

I got the café sampler with the French onion soup, chicken friand, and tomato basil pesto pasta salad. The soup was pretty good but that was the only redeeming part about this meal.

The chicken friand, despite sitting under a heat lamp, wasn’t hot. It wasn’t even warm. Room temp - at best. The pasta salad had a very strange taste and after giving it a few sniffs I finally put my finger on it - it smelled exactly like nail polish remover.

One of my kids got a quiche and it was mediocre and tasted like frozen spinach that had been thawed but not drained.

We decided to give dessert a try but the staff at the bakery counter were so worried about packing to-go orders and helping make salads that we would’ve been standing there forever.

This place is totally overrated - almost $60 for a family of four to eat trash food.

This used to be one of my wife and I’s favorite places to eat. However, ever since 2020 the place has gone downhill. The quality of the food has gone down. They never answer the phone for pickup orders. The staff is not friendly. 80% of the time they’ll leave you with only a partial to go order. I typically like La Madeleine’s food but not this location. Just go somewhere else. There’s better places to eat.

I Love this place! Everything, and I mean everything about la Madeleine is impeccable!
