Loved it. Very cute place delicious drinks and bakery / breakfast options..................................
Great little cafe, excellent sandwiches, quiche is a must and comes with a generous salad and the desserts are on point. Definitely a spot to check out and is so affordable- express sandwich of the day $6.50 and a frittata is under $5. On a budget or needing a treat try this bakery.
This is a cute spot with minimalist decor. I loved the pastry I got here! I had my coffee from Sana, and although they only offer cheesecakes, I still ended up coming by. It's a great place to gather with friends.
Any place that has a solid lunch for under $15 in 2024 is a win in my book- it helps that cafe Madeline's chicken pot pie also might be one of the best pot pies I've had. A nice chicken medley with a great flakey crust. And it comes with a salad?? What's not to love? The folks working the counter are always pleasant and of course they also sell all sorts of sweet treats.
Forgot to take a picture when it was still whole and beautiful but the Tres Leches cake is one of the best I've tried so far in SF (I'm on a mission to try them all!). Might be too sweet for some but it was perfectly moist, flavorful, with the perfect texture. And for $50-55 per 8" cake, it's not as large of a hit on the wallet as others in the area. Brought it to a picnic and I regret not taking the last two pieces home for meeee Edit: went back and got another one ;)
I love this place for the buratta salad. I always add chicken, and it's still a good deal at $3.50 extra. In the past, the salad was topped with pinenuts, but now it's replaced with hazelnuts. Not a downgrade in substitution since they really pack in those hazelnuts. The chicken was the biggest improvement; what used to be dry chunks have now transformed into moist strips. The spring mix salad comes with beets, truffle salt, buratta, and hazelnuts. It's a very large portion for $20. It should feed me for two meals, but I couldn't stop eating. Buratta is the best.
Cafe Madeline offers a delightful lunch menu, Sandwiches and Salads along with a selection of delicious cakes. Our office favorite is the caramel dulce de leche cake, cherished for its rich flavor and perfect balance of sweetness. Update: they now accept Apple Pay.
