Madeleine Cafe Bakery - Solana Beach

I explored Cedros with a friend and decided to stop at Madeleine's for lunch. I was hoping to order the La Parisian sandwich, but it wasn't on the menu. Fortunately, they still made it for me, and it was delicious! The salad that accompanied it was also very refreshing. Unfortunately, their fryer was out of order, so I couldn't order fries. All the tables are set up outside, which is lovely, and they have umbrellas—perfect for those of us with freckles! As for parking, there’s street parking available for up to three hours.

This is a charming, authentic French café! We stop by every year when we're in town. The owner is incredibly kind, and it's always a pleasure to catch up with him over a delicious meal, dessert, and coffee! We've tried nearly everything on the menu, and you can't go wrong with any choice—unless you forget to order dessert! The crêpes are simply amazing! They also sell French candies, soaps, and more. It's wonderful to support a small French business! Thank you so much, Steve, and see you soon!

The decor created a warm and inviting environment, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant!

I visited this restaurant with my boyfriend for brunch, where I ordered a Parisienne omelette and he chose a Californian omelette. Since he isn't fond of goat cheese, we switched our dishes, which worked out fine. The highlight of the meal was definitely the fries; they were crispy and full of flavor. I also appreciated the assortment of vegetables that came on the side. Overall, it was a decent experience.

The espresso was excellent and had a nice strong flavor. The fresh caramels were amazing! Overall, I would rate the service as a 5. I dined in and spent between $1 and $10 for my meal.
