La Madeleine Country French Cafe - Katy

This hidden gem is simply fantastic, especially the pastries. My personal favorites are the fruit tart and chocolate croissants. The breakfast options are excellent as well. If you're searching for a wonderful spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, make sure to dine in. Avoid the takeout side; I waited in front of two employees for about five minutes without them acknowledging me. When they finally did, they were rude and rushed me with my order. So if you want to enjoy your meal there, THIS is the place for you!

This used to be a lovely spot, but our last two visits for coffee have been disappointing. Both times, we received chocolate cakes that were nothing like the beautiful desserts showcased in their display (as seen in the photo). It felt as if they had been kicked around before being served. The taste certainly didn’t justify the price. We’ll be looking for a different place next time.

Unfortunately, the fruit tart, which looked delicious, turned out to be one of the worst I've ever tasted. It’s definitely not what it used to be. We bought two for my brother-in-law’s birthday yesterday and were extremely disappointed. The crust was rock hard, and the custard had an unpleasant smell and tasted artificial, leaving a horrible aftertaste. We couldn’t even finish the second one; everyone ended up throwing theirs away. I regret spending my money on these.

5/5 Pesto Pasta It has the perfect amount of creaminess! I really like their pesto cream sauce. The mini baguette was good. I would definitely come back for this!

This is a lovely spot for coffee, pastries, or lunch. I visited on a Friday at 5:00 PM, and it wasn't too crowded. The service was friendly, and I ordered the Crème brûlée and a plain Croissant—both were fresh and delightful. I appreciated that the utensils were individually wrapped for COVID safety. The bar area had a variety of berry jam aromas, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The environment is beautiful and tranquil, and the prices are reasonable. I will definitely return!
