La Madeleine - Houston

I've been eating here since they opened this location, and I have to say, the staff is incredibly friendly! The food is also really good!

I frequently stop by just to pick up their incredible baked goods. I highly recommend the coconut cake and lemon bars!

When you walk in, I attempted to place my order but didn't realize that you need to grab your own menu. It was a bit awkward as I kept glancing up at the cashier, searching for the menu.

This is the Nutella Crêpe!! Nothing to do with the Nutella of course a cold crème pâtissière with saggy strawberries as seen in the picture when I spoke to the waiter/cashier they tried to convince me that it is the NuTella crepe with a drizzle ofNutella Very disappointed my son ended up having an other real Nutella crepe at Sweet Paris which was the same price but abigger portion with some real ingredients

It pains me to write this review because I?m a fan of La Madeleine and have enjoyed their food at other locations. A friend invited my wife and I to lunch and we were near this location and decided to try it out. The restaurant is set up a littledifferent than the other La Madeleine?s in the Houston area. I ordered the Cafe Sampler 1 2 Entree Cup of Soup one side and my wife ordered a Salmon Spinach salad with avocado added extra $1.59, not bad . I had hot tea, she coffee. I orderedthe 1 2 chicken friand with mushroom sauce, French onion soup with no croutons and the side was strawberries cream Strawberries Romansff which they up charged me $1.29 whatever . So ? Chicken Friand was luke warm at best and mushroomsauce was cold. They of course had the croutons on the top of the soup, sent it back and they were gone but no cheese on thetop the cheese was now in the bottom, so guessing someone scraped off the cheese and took out the bread and returned it. Disappointing. I was looking forward to the strawberries, but found a couple of my strawberries were overripe and mushy bleh. On my hot tea, they didn?t have any black tea like an English Breakfast tea just green tea and caffeine free tea. Settledfor green tea sigh. For my wife, it wasn?t much of a salad for the price $13.79 . They forgot to add the bacon and thesalmon was cold and tasted old fishy. She also ordered a cup of tomato basil soup that she said tasted ?off? sour. Tableservice was good and staff was overall friendly. Just issues with the food. Again, we?ve both eaten at a variety of LaMadeleines in Houston and had great experiences. Maybe they were just having a bad day, but we?ve scratched this location offour list. Total bill was just under $45 with tip for the 2 of us which is getting up there for a simple lunch. Buteverything seems to be going up. Overall, food standards just were not what I?m used to expect from a La Madeleines.
