" After hearing about Café Madeleine from friends, I finally decided to visit. The experience overall was nice, but the service left a lot to be desired. We had to wait a while for our servers’ attention, and the drinks took longer than expected. However, the food was top-notch. I loved the crepes, both savory and sweet—all beautifully presented. I can see myself giving this place another chance because the quality of food shines through. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ventured into Café Madeleine on a whim, and what a wonderful surprise it was! I had the eggs benny with lox and it was heavenly! Perfectly runny yolk and delightful flavors. The atmosphere was lively yet intimate, which I appreciated while enjoying my meal. The only downside was the lack of parking, but once you find a spot, it’s genuinely worth it. Great place for brunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" Café Madeleine is my little escape from the busy city. The lavender mint lattes are my absolute favorite! The service is always great, and the outdoor seating makes for a perfect brunch setting. I tried a couple of different items from the menu, and each dish was fresh and full of flavor. This place is perfect for catching up with friends or just treating yourself. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Café Madeleine with my family during a recent trip to San Diego and it turned out to be a highlight of our visit! We ordered a variety of dishes, and everything was absolutely delicious. The madeleines were a nostalgia trip, reminding us of our time in France. The only minor drawback was the wait for a large table. Otherwise, the staff were lovely and we left with happy hearts and full stomachs! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my go-to spot whenever I'm in North Park! The atmosphere is cozy and feels very much like an authentic French bistro. I had the croissant French toast and it was divine—fluffy, sweet, and perfectly cooked. The only issue was that the place tends to get crowded quickly which sometimes makes seating a bit of a challenge. Overall, a great spot for breakfast! " (*Curated Review*)

" Café Madeleine offers a fantastic selection of local coffee and baked goods that are totally worth trying. The service can be a bit slow at busy times, but the quality of the food is definitely top-notch. I adore their almond croissants which taste fresh and delicious. Full of character, it's a delightful spot for brunch on the weekends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taking a seat at Café Madeleine felt like transporting myself to a small street café in Paris. I had a lovely slice of their lemon tart which was the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The steamy coffee was carefully crafted, though it took a bit longer to arrive than anticipated. Nonetheless, I'd say the experience was delightful and I can't wait to come back to try their breakfast menu! " (*Curated Review*)
