Cafe Madeleine
149 New Montgomery St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“Cafe Madeleine is a serious pastry destination where custom cakes and macarons steal the show, though their consistency can be hit-or-miss depending on what you order. The team genuinely steps up for special requests—think beautifully executed pistachio cheesecakes and holiday bûches—making it worth a visit if you're after something beyond your typical coffee shop fare. Despite the higher price point and occasional inconsistencies, the friendly staff and genuine willingness to collaborate on custom orders give this spot real charm for those celebrating something special.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

I actually was a bit worried when walked into cafe Madeleine because all of your 1 star review. But I just need some desserts to go, so I bought a box of 4. The staff is busy but friendly, they gave me suggestions for the most popular cake. Each cake is $7, I think it's a really…
