la Madeleine French Bakery & Café Arboretum

Excellent food options, tailor made to your specification, in this spacious french themed establishment with efficient customer service, even under peak times.

This is my favorite place to get takeout from during lunch ! My favorite menu item is the baked potato soup . Best soup in the world! I also recommend the spinach artichoke friand :-)

The centerpiece fireplace keeps me coming back. La Madeleine is full of tasty pastries and good espresso-based drinks. The service is quick.

Cafeteria-style “French bakery ” chain is pretty consistent, though this location does tend to have slightly slower service.

The best place to study but wifi can be iffy. Make sure you're not dependent on wifi . Tomato soup makes it worth it!

Tastes very good! While not completely authentic it’s very good.

Get the French Country Breakfast . Delicious every time!

I like their coffee . The staff is pretty awesome.

If you get a survey, use free wifi to fill it out on the smart phone of yours! Then refill your coffee or tea and enjoy it with your free pastry !

Sandwiches , coffee , espresso , gourmet food, pastries , and tomatoe basil soup !

Tomatoe soup and chicken sandwich is the best.

Chicken La Madeline is great! Also the Turkey Risotto in the fall.

I'm very fond of the Beef Bourguignon .

Go with the Blackberry Jam near the silverware. It's legit.
