La Madeleine French Bakery - Columbia

This place is a hidden gem! Tucked away near some trees, I'd passed by this place for years without ever going in. I've been missing out! The food was fantastic. We had the French Country breakfast, quiche, and Croque Madame, plus their delicious desserts (mini tarts and a lemon Madeleine). The staff was friendly and service was fast. Possibly best of all was the ambiance. It felt like a cozy coffee shop, without much hustle or bustle. Soft, quiet music. They even have a fireplace, which felt wonderful on the cold, rainy day that we visited on. Highly recommend!

This place is fantastic! I have seldom had a better breakfast. My wife had a salad which was fresh and perfect. We ate on the patio which was very nice. I cannot recommend this place enough for families, couples, or just anyone who wants utterly delicious food!

-Food was very tasty and the Coffee is top notch. -Very cute and cozy atmosphere with kind and helpful staff members. -Can be a bit confusing for first time visitors. Grab a menu by the door then head over to the counter then place your order.

I like their ambience, so cozy and comfortable. They have a variety of desserts but my favorite one is Sacher Torte cake*SCRUMPTIOUS*. Highly recommended!

Tasty food. There is always a bit of a wait when coming here. They have an amazing bakery dessert display at the entrance. The service is friendly. They dont seem to prioritize which side to wait on. Used this place to cater for work. Morning order was fresh and hot. PM order was 15 min late and they gave us half the food on time...so that got cold while awaiting the rest of the food. This place is probably more equipped to handle casual date night dining. However food is good, presentation needs a little work. Overall good experience.
