La Madeleine French Bakery & Cafe

I went into this place not knowing what they were selling, we are subcontracted for the light rail work on Central and 1st avenue. Only to find the best creme brulee I have ever had in my life my opinion. I also tried a roasted chicken sandwich of some kind with arugula and pesto and avocado was so amazing I can't wait to tell everybody that I know about this place.

Fantastic customer service, fantastic food, fantastic everything 12/10 Picture this - the most buttery crispy delicious crossiant breakfast sandwich with your choice of meat (I chose bacon!) I’ve literally been to Europe and tasted croissants there and these are better. I have absolutely no idea how a slightly hidden Phoenix bakery was able to create better croissant breakfast sandwiches than literal France but here we are. Omg. My only regret was discovering this on the last day of my work trip, otherwise I definitely would’ve come there every single day. I walked in, ordered the sandwich, was met with so much kindness, they gave me my breakfast in like 2 minutes (I don’t know how this is even possible, but alas the breakfast was hot and ready) and their baked goods looked so delicious I wanted to eat them all! Probably the best breakfast place in all of Phoenix. If you’re a lover of French food like me, you can’t go wrong with la Madeleine ☺️

I enjoyed the Nouveau Breakfast, Fruit Tart and a Caramel Macchiato. Everything was delicious and balanced! The cafe has a great atmosphere where you can relax and take a breath. It is a good place to have a nice quiet meal or chat with friends over great food. I personally went for brunch while waiting on results for Jury duty :)

Very glad I discovered this yummy treasure in Phoenix. It’s possibly one of the highlights of my visit. We got lunch on the first day. Came back for a chocolate almond croissant and coffee for breakfast the next day, and picked up dessert for later. My only problem is that everything looked amazing. I wanted to try everything.

Service was super slow, but the food made up for it! Their focus was on food deliveries and Door Dash and not so much on in-dining patrons. They have a nice selection of pastries and delectable desserts. We came for lunch and enjoyed every single bite. The turkey with Brie was amazing! The crusty French loaf contributed nicely to the sandwich’s architecture, and the onion and Brie melted perfectly into the slices of fresh turkey.

First time here and was surprisingly impressed! I've never had traditional french cuisine before but I really enjoyed my meal. I had the trio taster with their famous tomato soup, strawberries in creme sauce, and a tomato basil pasta salad. I thought it was so delicious and I will definitely be back!

Breakfast and lunch options available. They have a nice sampler option with a soup, salad, and half quiche so you can try a bit of everything. The food was food and came out quickly. We beat the lunch crowd arriving at 11:30; by 12:30 the line was about ten people long. I was brave enough to ask for ranch at a French bakery. They don’t have it: so now you don’t have to ask. The vinaigrette is good, I mean, it’s not ranch, Arizona natives for some reason are ranch dependent, we can’t help it.

Always a favorite stop when I go to Texas! Glad we have a few around here now! I was craving soup and just so happened to see La Madeleine on Door Dash. It was fate!! I ordered a chicken salad croissant, some potato soup and some Linzer cookies to take home to my hubby (His favorite!) Hot and delicious and hit the spot on a chilly day!
