Not fabulous...

by Coco72

My sister and I were excited to try Les Madeleines after hearing such rave reviews over the years on the Chunga Show. I had the turkey avocado sandwich, which was very bland. My sister had the Genoa sandwich which she thought was okay but the lemon tarragon salad dressing on her side salad was more than tart and needed to have some honey or something sweet to balance the flavor. My sister also ordered a "Sicily" cupcake, which should be called a mini-cupcake. The cake was a bit waxy and the pistachio butter cream was also lacking a bit of pizzaz, especially for the $2.25 price tag. The redeeming moment of our lunch was when I tasted the Kouing Aman. It was delicious, but pricey. Overall, we were just whelmed, bordering on underwhelmed by our lunch experience.

• Pros: Good Pastries
• Cons: Pricey and entrees are not great!

Great croissants

by conniecorleone

The gal who is running this place definitely knows pastries. But you can tell they think pretty highly of themselves, based on their prices. Do order the croissant or the special pastry that begins with a K...but don't order the hot chocolate....skip on down the street to the Cocoa Caffe for that.

One of my favorites!

My husband and I stumbled across this bakery the spring after it opened and immediately fell in love with it. I have yet to find something I don't like! The dining area is small, however, they have outdoor seating during the warm months and a great selection of pasteries, cookies, cupcakes, and truffles.

I plan quarterly events at work for over 7,000 people and have used Les Madeleines to cater it twice. My tenants absolutely love the treats we get for them and have become customers because of these treats. The owner and her employees were absolutely wonderful to work with. They were curteous, helpful, and simply amazing. If you need to plan a catered event, give them a call or stop in. I recommend the Raspberry Charlottes and Kouing Aman.

• Pros: Fabulous customer service, yummy food, what more could you want?
• Cons: Parking is somewhat limited

Hard To Find ,But Well Worth the Search!

by kjerstislc

This place is small but has excellent cookies! I wouldnt want to eat there inside unless it was empty! They make their own pasteries right there and the staff is very friendly and helpful!

It's hard to find driving down State Street but if you look out for a small little shop with Lime Green Trim you will find it!

They make some weird looking thing there that is rare to find if youre not in one of the four states back east that make it. It's expensive but well worth it! Also try one of the MANY Flavors of Italian Soda!

• Pros: Great rare treats,Dog treats too!
• Cons: Street parking, Prices,and hard to locate!
