La Madeleine French Bakery - Columbia

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem! Nestled among some trees, I had walked past it for years without ever stepping inside, and I regret not doing so sooner! The food was outstanding. We tried the French Country breakfast, quiche, and Croque Madame, along with their delightful desserts (mini tarts and a lemon Madeleine). The staff was friendly, and the service was swift. Perhaps the best part was the ambiance; it felt like a cozy coffee shop, free from hustle and bustle. The soft, gentle music added to the charm, and the fireplace was a lovely touch, especially on the cold, rainy day we visited. I highly recommend this place!

This place is amazing! I can hardly remember having a better breakfast. My wife enjoyed a salad that was fresh and just right. We dined on the patio, which was lovely. I highly recommend this restaurant for families, couples, or anyone looking for truly delicious food!

The French Dip with Caramelized Onions is excellent—it's simple but full of flavor. On the other hand, the Café Latte didn't meet my expectations; it tasted more like warm milk with sugar.

The food was, as always, delicious, and I highly recommend this restaurant. However, it was disappointing that the food arrived cold.

The food was delicious, and the coffee is outstanding. The atmosphere is charming and cozy, and the staff members are friendly and attentive. However, it can be a little confusing for first-time visitors. Make sure to grab a menu by the door, then head to the counter to place your order.
