Beloved chain French cafe La Madeleine has opened a new location in Austin, about two miles away from Elan East. A favorite for Texans since the late '80s, La Madeleine brings lovely and delicious pastries, soups, sandwiches and entrees all with French flair. It offers high-quality coffee paired with breakfast treats like almond croissants, chocolate dipped coconut macaroons, and of course Madeleines. There's also a complimentary bread-and-jam station to pair with your morning brew.
The offerings for lunch and dinner include staples like French onion soup and beef bourguignon, along with salads and lighter fare that'll fill you up – but be sure to save room for dessert! Though larger than some of the other locations, this La Madeleine features a welcoming working fireplace to keep you cozy in colder months. The service is friendly, with staff members calling a cheerful "bonjour!" to everyone who sets food in the eatery. Their enthusiasm is all part of an overall delightful experience.
