Quaint French cafe chain serving rustic country fare, espresso & fresh-baked baguettes.

We visited for brunch on a Saturday. Ordered a crepe, an avocado toast, some broccoli soup, a potato galette, and a chai latte. It was all delicious.
It’s quick service style, where you order at the counter, they hand you a table number and a runner brings you your food. The food comes out in whatever order.
Our food was good, the service, such as it was, was acceptable, and the place was reasonably clean. We plan to go back.

I doubt this place would pass a health inspection. Lady at front desk started taking our order but kept talking to her colleague in between making it super confusing and she wasn’t listening at all. Cut me off several times.
I flew in from Florida picked this place for brunch as it looked really good online. French bakery let’s go. However what a huge disappointment. This is probably equal to any American diner. The potato gallette is reguler hash browns, well mine were burnt ones. Nothing special. Croissant didn’t have any taste the almond paste tasted sugary and that’s it. Food came out so fast it was clear that they didn’t make it as we ordered. It was already sitting there waiting. Hence the dry hard bacon and hash browns. I don’t recommend it unless you expect going to a regular fast food diner.
Sad I was expecting a French cure cafe with good food and desserts.
Also, plates were dirty as they came out with food on them. The walls in the kitchen were scrubbed a year ago last probably. Full of stains. After working in a kitchen, I can’t help but look.

We ordered a Thansgiving meal, which we enjoyed, and I also purchased a fruit tart for dessert. By the time we drove home (~30 min) the tart had broken apart and run out over the bottom of the box. I thought it might be the drive that caused this. Later I tried to cut nice pieces for everyone but the crust disintegrated into little pieces and the custard ran all over. I was busy but got a picture towards the end of trying to serve the tart. The taste was good but what a mess and awful presentation! I have bought many fruit tarts at La Madeleine, but may not ever again. Was it not fully baked and set? What in the heck happened?

This is one of my favorites! Anytime I’m craving a hot, delicious, cooked to order breakfast I come here! Their pastries are to die for…., a little bit of Paris right here in Maryland. Excellent service and an extra shout out and thank you to Maria for making more creme brûlée for me!

Went with my mom & adult son after shopping. We like the atmosphere and food – it has been a few years since we ate here and it is still good. Fresh salads, flavorful quiche, nice soups & drinks. I wish they still had their bread, butter & jelly readily available, you can still get it, but they just give you a piece or two. I think covid shut that down. Their baked deserts are really good!

I was there Thursday night and the food was excellent. Sarah, and the rest of the staff gave outstanding service. I’ve gained a much better appreciation for French food because of their knowledge and expertise of their craft!
