Café Madeleine
2248 30th St, San Diego, CA
Crema's Take
“Café Madeleine brings a charming slice of Paris to the corner of El Cajon Boulevard, where you can linger over expertly pulled espresso drinks and buttery croissants while watching San Diego life drift by from their coveted outdoor seats. The staff's genuine warmth pairs perfectly with their skill—reviewers rave about velvety cappuccinos and rich lattes that taste like they actually care about the craft, making it equally ideal for a solo coffee meditation or gathering a group of friends for an unhurried brunch.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
