4-5 stars. I was on Fern St, crossed over one street and we saw Cafe Madeleine. It's the perfect addition to South Park! So dreamy, like a true Parisien corner cafe. They have outdoor seating with the infused water container and glass cups there. And inside, it could be considered small...but I think it had good amount of seating. People were friendly to allow sharing tables.
Menu was a bit difficult to read from where we lined up, as the light fixture was blocking the view. I had to bend up and down and move back and forth just to read the coffee options. The menu above the register is also a bit difficult to read for some.
As I got closer, I saw the most amazing item on the menu. MERGUEZ BAGUETTE $17.00 it had chimichurri and roasted red peppers, as well as arugula. And it came with a side salad with French vinaigrette. They gave two merguez sausage in the baguette. It was incredible and so delicious. Highly recommend. My friend ordered it as well and said he never had a sausage that flavorful before.
I also got MIELE LATTE, it was priced at $6.25. It was a basic size so I'm not sure of this pricing. I would have thought it to be $5.50 at most. The honey flavor wasn't very pronounced. The cardamom wasn't mixed with the espresso it just sat on top as a decoration. So whenever you sipped you got a mouth load of cardamom, they were quite heavy handed with it. I'm happy though that it had the perfect amount of milk and was very espresso forward in the latte!
Overall, it was a delicious lunch. And the workers were very chic and kind! They played French music inside that was in the background which allowed conversations to take the lead. They had sweet crepes and savory, paninis, baguettes, and pastries, etc. For drinks they have coffee, tea, blended, lemonade and more!
