la Madeleine

First time coming here. Ordered mashed potato for my 9 months old. I asked if the mashed potato has egg and the server said no. After a minutes my son got allergic reaction. Throwing up and hives. ( I was so scared ) If you have allergy on something and ask people who work there. They will give you wrong information.

This place is cozy and delicious. The Chicken Friand is to DIE FOR! Can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu.

Great place to have lunch, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, and great food. Not very crowded and I noticed a lot of people just reading a newspaper or a book. No rush here. Update - Great place to get a warm meal during cold weather. Update - enjoying rereading an old favorite while enjoying breakfast.

El ambiente me gustó y el servicio también, la señora que nos atendió en la caja fue muy amable y nos respondió dudas sobre algunos platos que teníamos. El café para ser muy sincera, no me gustó. Pedí un latte con caramelo y sabia muy artificial, la leche aguada, el latte no tenía consistencia. Yo me pedí un sándwich y estaba rico, y lo acompañe con una pasta fría deliciosa. Mi acompañante pidió una tostada con aguacate, estaba buena pero algo muy sencillo para el precio (es mi opinión) Y lo que parece una tartaleta con espinaca a mi gusto le faltaba un poco mas de sabor, más sal tal vez. Los dulces estaban ricos, Pedí un mini pie de limon y estaba super rico, también un muffin con nutella.

Instead of trying to teach people to learn franchise in the toilet, hire more employees and focus on the food quality. Disappointing food and service from this location. I do not recommend this location. SAVE YOUR MONEY

Our office is across the street from this location, and for several years pre-COVID I would carry out breakfast or lunch from La Madeleine several times a month. It was always consistently good food, you knew what you were going to get. Since our company is still 100% remote, I have not been here in 4 years. Being in the office today, I decided to get a couple of my favorites from back in the day, and ordered an eggwhite omelette with veggies for breakfast. It was barely edible and really greasy. I was really thrown by this, I'm not sure how that happens with eggwhites and veggies?? For lunch I got a cup of french onion soup and a spinach salad with chicken. The soup was supposed to come with croutons and swiss cheese, it had neither. Just onions and broth. The salad was terrible. I had to pick through it and throw out all the chicken, which was soft and watery, had no flavor to speak of, and seemed more the texture of tofu. Over a third of the spinach in my salad was a very dark green, wilted and disgusting, so I was only able to eat about half of it. Sorry to say, I was very disappointed, annoyed that I wasted $40, and I will definitely not be carrying out from here again!

What a great place! I had a café latte and the Crêpe la Madeleine. Both were excellent! I didn't get to try anything from the bakery/pastry counter, but everything in there looked delicious! Friendly staff, tasty food, fun French atmosphere. Parking in the area is tough, but there is a parking garage that is extremely affordable! ($1/hr or $5/hr for the day!) The entire area is quaint and historical, so come to La Madeleine and then spend the whole day in Old Town Alexandria! I'll definitely be back!

Terrible service. Rude staff
