Cafe Madelaine
34 Coles St, Jersey City, NJ
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Jersey City, this French-style café draws loyal regulars willing to walk across town for their standout salmon bagels with dill dip and expertly crafted espresso that actually tastes like something. The cozy, hospitable space shines as much for its house-made pastries and quiches as it does for being the kind of place where you can settle in for hours, whether you're meeting a friend or working remotely, with consistently good coffee and genuine warmth from the team.”

The raspberry tiramisu was absolutely delicious. The mushroom and salmon quiches were also very good and flavorful. Unfortunately, the latte was quite weak and lacked flavor. Overall, though, it’s a lovely spot for breakfast !
One of the best salmon bagels in my life Its a croissant bagel with a special dil dip Which makes its amazing 10/10 Chi late 10/10 Coffe also good Im not a quiche guy but It was just so good Definitely try the spinach goat cheese And the pomodero
Absolutely gem. It has been my go-to place for a while now, even though I have to walk 15 mins to get there! Very cozy vibes and great hospitality. Great food and fabulous coffee!
This French-style café and bakery was a great spot to work remotely. I started with a single shot of espresso—it was rich and strong, far better than your typical chain coffee. The space has a charming vibe with plenty of seating, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I tried a pancake served with butter and fresh fruit, as well as a baked quiche with prosciutto and cheese (wish I had snapped a photo!). Beyond pastries and croissants, they also offer sandwiches, soups, and salads for lunch. The café had a steady flow of guests, with many choosing to sit and relax. The Wi-Fi was reliable, and I had no trouble working for a few hours. Overall, I loved the ambiance and food—would definitely return!
Great experience always! I love this cafe and all pastries and food they serve. I always order cakes here for all occasions so I had no doubts with ordering a wedding cake and pastries for my son’s wedding. But the result exceeded all my expectations! The cake was outstanding and all guests absolutely loved it! Anne made small pastries to serve for the cocktail hour and they saved the day! Thank you to Anne and all her amazing and friendly staff who always welcome you and make you feeling at home.
