La Madeleine - Pearland

Very hit or miss, sandwich looked and tastes burnt.. Updated review: Smaller portions, lower quality, high prices, poor customer service I came to this restaurant yesterday morning and it was horrible. I waited awhile to order with 4 people infront of me. Some business women cuts in the front of everyone saying she has a business meeting to go to and needs her order. Iguess making it to my work shift on time was not as important. Then the manager let every one else in line know he would bepausing taking orders so he could deal with the door dash drivers. After all this time wasted I just left. This place is toounderstaffed to have both doordash and regular customers and it was really unfair to let someone cut in front when other peoplewere already waiting. This place just keeps getting worse and worse post pandemic.

Went into la Madeline and picked up a jar of tomato basil soup and a jar of blackberry spread. When I got to the counter I also ordered two creme brûlée desserts. The employee rang up the order and I paid. I choose not to leave a tip for takeoutcounter service. My assumption here is that this decision affected the rest of the transaction. The employee boxed thedesserts and dropped the box into a bag. Because he did not close the box, one dessert came out of the box and the other wasupside down in the box. He made no attempt to bag the other two purchases so I handled that part myself. Again, I am assumingthis was the result of me not leaving a tip for counter service and I could be wrong. But if what I experienced was normaloperating procedure, it was indeed a poor performance.

First time to visit. Had breakfast with my husband. Breakfast was ok. The croissant was delicious! Had it with the rhubarb jam. Also ordered latte and mocha coffee.

The quality of the food has really tanked. I came here yesterday and ordered the same thing I order every time; the chicken salad sandwich and potato soup. The potato soup literally tasted like water and a scoop of powder-based, bag mashed potatoes.And as far as the sandwich, I've tried better from the HEB deli, not to mention it was a lot smaller than usual.

It's a sweet spot, but not for me. I was looking for a breakfast / brunch location and that wasn't it. A bit expensive, but her sandwich was good. I didn't really like the Croissant sandwich.
