la Madeleine

Health, fresh and tasty breakfast in downtown crown(Gaithersburg). Their pastries and coffee are one of the best..

This was my first time going to the Downtown Crown in Gaithersburg, MD. It was a very nice area.

La Madeleine is off a made street and easy to spot. If you cannot find street parking, there is parking in the rear of the restaurant.

I took my daughter here for brunch. You order your food at the counter and take a number to place on your table. The young lady that took our order was very nice.

We both ordered the Country French Breakfast, which consisted of two eggs cooked-to-order (we chose scrambled), Potato Galette, bacon or sausage (we got bacon) and a butter croissant.

The chef brought our food out to the table and said bon appetit. Which was pretty cool since we were in a French restaurant.

The food was delicious. The eggs were flavorful. It was my first time having a Potato Galette. It was like jazzed up hash browns or a latke. The bacon was cooked crispy like I like it and the croissant was buttery and soft.

I highly recommend this location.

If I can give this place more than 5 stars I would. I drove from Toronto to come here and the service is exquisite. I dealt with Shanon one night and in the morning I came back and dealt with Gisele. This is probably the best service I have ever gotten to the point that I took 12 jars of tomato soup and 2 of their full cakes home.

Nothing describes what it’s like to go to La Madeleine. The food there is delicious, they have pastas, entrees and delicious desserts. The manager, Tony was very nice to us and friendly. The bathrooms had french lessons playing instead of music. The outside of the restaurant looks like it’s located in France and the whole place is magical. Any dish with chicken in it is automatically an amazing one. Again, the food is heaven, highly recommend!

Wow, what a great spot to relax and savor a morning coffee! 🤤

I recently visited this place for the first time and was impressed by the exceptional customer service and helpful suggestions for newcomers. A special shoutout to BABA for the excellent coffee recommendations!

I definitely plan on returning to explore more items on their menu. Thank you for a fantastic experience! 🙏

la Madeleine is a refreshing cafe, I had forgotten how nice their plates and interior design are. I remember the wooden interiors with spinning water wheels and the warm feeling of a rustic French hearth. This new bakery in Downtown Crown completes a great variety of shops along the grass common space with outdoor seating. I'll now remember the desserts and coffees when my sweet tooth demands satisfaction! The young women making coffees today had great energy and an impressive way with the cafe. My caramel macchiato was excellent.

I love La Madeleine! They have the best food and atmosphere. The staff is super friendly and always answers my questions. I will always recommend.

Delightful place for breakfast. My kid had a croissant and a cherry Danish for the first time and love them!
Reasonably priced, yummy food. Pastries are wonderful! We'd come back!

I was here 2 yrs ago at La Madeleine for a beautiful and amazing solo breakfast and I know I wrote a review(can’t find it)for this lovely place. The place, interior, and plates are so beautiful. I stopped by 12Dec.2021 and picked up a couple treats for my evening snacks. Today this place was jumpin’ more than usual. The cashier and the bake staff had the line moving swiftly. The food and treats are made fresh, magnificent, and delectable. Always wonderful to stop in or sit for a bit.

I love all their pastries. Great place for family gathering, and business meetings

Good experience, great people especially the server who’s from Congo , i had a french breakfast and my mom a Caesar salad
Food was good

Their Desserts, Drinks and Treats are Amazing! This French Bakery really does give you a taste of French delicacies... must visit this place and take home a box or two of their amazing sweets and sandwiches...

My favorite breakfast/brunch place in Montgomery county. Food here is consistently delicious and generously portioned. Staff are courteous and helpful. It’s clean and has a rustic country environment. A great place to meet up friends.

I got the caramel macchiato and the Nutella crepe and was satisfied. The crepe was light and fulfilling. Will definitely recommend this cafe.

The food was deliciously French, the desserts were tempting enough to want to buy one of each, and no stuffy French servers! It is a casual, charming cafe! Only thing missing was French wine to go with all that wonderful French food!

The caffe latte was simply amazing. The lemon madeline's are top notch, nutella croissant muffin all awesome. Avocado toast was on the breakfast menu but we ordered at 6 pm and it was super delicious

Love this place! Very Parisian Patisserie feel. They have breakfast menu available all day! And of course all your favorite Parisian pastries and desserts. Lovely fireplace for chilly evenings and plenty of coffee too!

I loved the ambience. The light music in the background in addition to the delicious food and coffee made it a perfect setting to relax and hang out. The bakery has a variety of items for the customers and it's really difficult to make a choice. Will keep visiting again and again to try more things out. The cafe also has WiFi so it's a comfy place to work on your laptop. Friendly staff and quite central too.

Very cute place!! Service was quick and the desserts were delectable (we got the napoleon cake, coconut cake, and nutella croissant muffin). Super cozy and welcoming!

Always delicious! My favorite is the avocado toast. Highly recommend their pastries as well.
