Excellent service, probably the best french toast in McKinney. Special thank you to the staff finding my wallet!

Had a lovely stop at La Madeleine and it was exactly what we needed. We ordered the chicken salad croissants, potato soup, and sweet tea, and everything was fresh, comforting, and full of flavor. The chicken salad was perfectly balanced and flaky on the croissant, and the potato soup was warm and hearty — the kind of simple comfort food that just hits right. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and it felt like a cozy little French café escape in the middle of a busy day. The hardest part was walking past the dessert case — everything looked amazing. From the tarts to the cakes, I honestly wanted to try one of each! Definitely coming back next time just to sample the desserts. Great food, friendly service, and a charming atmosphere. A perfect casual lunch spot.

Came in today because I had a free pastry item in my rewards and tried out the Pain Au Chocolat which is really delicious! Absolutely taking that back to the office to enjoy with some Hot Cocoa but I bet it’s even better with the Parisien Hot Chocolate here! The staff were very friendly, and Sanai helped explain the menu, including their combos. She came out later to ask others and myself how their/my meal was and when asked to get something by another patron, she was quick and polite to get the requested item. The bread and jams they have are great. The bread was soft and strawberry Jam very flavorful. I got the half chicken Parisien sandwich, with pasta salad. The sandwich took a few minutes to come out, but in a very reasonable amount of time. The bread was soft inside and had this perfect crunch on the outside where it was toasted. The sandwich itself had great texture and flavor and their pasta salad is one of my favorites. The only issue I had is with the Tea but this seems to be an issue any restaurant I go to where the tea was sitting out a little too long. Tea gets a distinct and unpleasant flavor as it sits out at room temp for too long. I mentioned it to the manager

I came here this morning while trying to find somewhere to get a sweet bite to eat. I have tried French items in the past so I was pretty curious. At first I thought they had a drive thru, but I think that would be impossible where the building is located. Regardless, I went inside and I was able to park in a quick spot in front of the location, to get a takeout item. Inside the building was well lit, not too bright but not too dark. There was an array of different breads and sweets, some inside a cold case, and the breads were spread out safely kept behind a clear glass. I chose a small lemon tart, and a creme brulee with caramel flavoring, as well as a large snickerdoodle cookie. It totaled a little over $10. I liked the topping on the tart, it was lightly sweet and helped the flavors of the lemon not be too harsh. It almost tasted like a faintly sweetened marshmallow. The center of the tart, was a little too much. Kind of sour and off putting, yet quite sweet at the same time. It wasn't my favorite, but it did curb my craving. As far as the creme brulee, the top was nicely broiled a bit, but when I got to the bottom of the tart it went from an eggy custard to more of a watery c
