Such a cute place! The food was good. I went with girlfriends for a later breakfast and we were all pretty happy with everything we got. Their $5 mimosas definitely a plus. I got the quiche lorraine and it was deliciously. The fruit seemed a little overpriced but I think that's anywhere. Really my biggest issue was deciding what to get! The menu was great and the cases were very tempting.

Coffee, quick bites, and wifi best place to work and meet ups with friends. Lemonade and orange juice is superb must try it. It’s a dessert place also chocolate, vanilla mousse as mouth watering. Very helpful and polite customer service. Outdoor and indoor sitting area restaurant.

Love this location of the cafeteria-style French cafe, particularly when it's not hosting tour groups.  It is a block away from city hall, where tour buses drop-off and pick-up tour groups.  La Madeleine is one of the few places nearby that can accommodate large groups.  When they do, expect long lines, waits for food, and a bit of a mess after the group leaves.  This place does an admirable job of trying to stay on top of the orders and busing the tables, but it can get overwhelming.  When it's quiet, however, this place is wonderful -- a great place to relax over coffee and sweets.  Also a great place to get some work done, but beware, there are only three outlets accessible to customers, and they are somewhat hidden.

They had very good food. I strongly recommend the mozzarella and tomato sandwich. It was the best sandwich I've ever had. Their tomato soup was also very delicious. Perfect for a date, or just a lunch with friends.

I've been a regular here since 2003.  Like, really regular.  So much so that the nice Ethiopian ladies who've worked here the entire time have more or less adopted me and like to make sure I have enough to eat.  

I love this place at night when it's clean, not that crowded and the lights are low.  Perfect spot for a nice, unfussy tea-light dinner with unlimited mango iced tea and a good book at one of the cozy tables.  Staff is always friendly and if you're a regular they recognize you and say hi, which is nice if you're a transplant from somewhere else in the country (which most DC people are).

I will say that over the last few years the food quality has dropped a bit.  The cleanliness of the place and organization of the tables/chairs has also taken a hit.  They're often out of silverware, condiments or tea these days, too. There's always napkins and food on the floor, newspapers strewn about on the window bars and the bathrooms are straight up wrecked. This may be due to the legions of crowds that have found out about this place, I guess, and how they just hit it like a hurricane on weekday mornings and weekends.  

I think management could do better by hiring a person to just keep the floor, tables and chairs clean and organized and another person to keep the condiment/drinks/plateware stations stocked.  Also wouldn't hurt to have an employee near the start of the line to assist people in how to order as it does indeed get quite chaotic there if there's more than a few people in line.
