Gentleman helping up front seemed to have a not so welcoming attitude with everyone he was helping.. Besides that slight hiccup. Holy moly! For one the pricing is absolutely fantastic for being a French bakery type of place. The food was so good beyond what expected. The pastries and little treats were phenomenal. The rest of the staff was great during the time there. Will be bringing family when in town.

The food was absolutely amazing. They had an excellent dinner selection. There were many tables and lots of room for large parties of people. We went with my school’s French Club and we were able to get great food. 10/10 would recommend!

From the time I walked in, I was transported by Elijah’s warm greeting and being called “Madame”. Everything on the menu looks delicious and I can now personally attest to the Persian hot chocolate, prime rib sandwich and Caesar salad being so scrumptious and SO beautifully presented! I had a whole photoshoot with my meal before enjoying it! I will definitely be back. Also the weather was perfect for outdoor seating! Thank you all!

Our grandma works here and we visited today for the first time. Everyone that worked there was happy and nice! Everything looks so delicious. We all loved the fruit tart and the macaroons. We had a great time and want to come again soon. Thank you!

The food and atmosphere at La Madeleine in Buford are consistently wonderful—fresh, flavorful dishes in a cozy, French-inspired setting that’s great for a casual breakfast or lunch. Unfortunately, the service tends to be hit or miss. While a few staff members have been incredibly helpful and kind, the overall experience is often hampered by inefficient service and a lack of attentiveness. Still worth a visit for the food and ambiance, just don’t expect a seamless service experience every time.

My recent visit to la Madeleine was a delightful experience, highlighted by their exceptional Breakfast Croissant and Cafe Mocha. The croissant was perfectly flaky, with a buttery, golden exterior that gave way to a soft, warm interior, packed with savory fillings that hit all the right spots. The Cafe Mocha was equally impressive, striking a perfect balance of rich espresso and velvety chocolate, topped with a creamy froth that made every sip indulgent. The ambiance of the cafe added to the enjoyment, with its cozy, French-inspired charm creating a welcoming vibe. Service was prompt and friendly, making the meal even more pleasant. Both items were fresh, flavorful, and left me eager to return. La Madeleine has truly mastered the art of breakfast, and I highly recommend this spot for a morning treat.

La Madeleine is always a win, but Aster is the real standout. Warm, attentive, and effortlessly on top of everything—she made the experience feel personal and polished without ever being overbearing. Love the French lessons in the bathroom. Excellent touch. The kind of service that turns a good meal into a “we’ll definitely be back.” If you get Aster, you’re lucky.

My husband and I recently ate there for the very first time. We have lived only 1 mile away for 17 years, and just recently, about 4 weeks ago, ate there. We loved everything about it. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was very cozy and comfortable, “like home,” and everyone who either helped us or talked to us was extremely welcoming and friendly. Since then, we’ve eaten there around nine times in that short timeframe and will continue to eat there. We’ve also recommended La Madeleine to others. Thank you to all the staff for giving us a welcoming experience, making us feel comfortable, valued, and at home, not just for the food, but for the overall positive, friendly atmosphere and service that made our meal memorable and enjoyable.

The girls that work there are super rude. They gave our order to someone else (first time ever ordering) and basically called us liars while the doordash driver was there to get it. Never again. Better bakeries and customer service basically everywhere else. Because we spoke Spanish as did our driver we heard them talking down to not only us but him as well. Do better.
The manager fixed it but only after the other girls didn’t realize the person asking for the order was the DD driver and we were being accused of lying trying to get replacement.

Visited during Sunday brunch hours and we tried the Country French breakfast and avocado toast. This spot was recommended to us because of the croissants, so I was throughly satisfied the other items were so good! The Bacon Bon Bon was a nice mix of sweet and spicy and every bit of my meal tasted great. Worth a visit!
