More about the New Brunch offerings at La Madeleine
With more than 20 new items, the new brunch menu offers exciting French cuisine-inspired dishes. One of the more innovative additions to the menu is the Croffle, which is somewhere between a croissant and a waffle- bringing both the flaky, buttery goodness of a croissant and golden crisp on a waffle.
The Monte Cristo Croffle has a mix of sweet and savory, featuring two croffles filled with turkey and Swiss, topped with a dusting of sugar, and served with strawberry preserves.
The Benedict Croffle features a ham and Swiss-filled Croffle topped with an egg, Hollandaise, and microgreens.
For customers who enjoy contrasting flavors, La Madeleine has a Bacon Bon-Bon Brioche on the menu, featuring crispy brown sugar bacon and a fried egg with tomatoes, some greens, and French aioli, all served on a brioche bun.
The chain has also updated its Avocado Toast, which is now served on Turano bread with tomatoes, feta cheese, microgreens, and a touch of balsamic vinegar.
The cafe chain also launched four new variations for those wanting to order French Toast or waffles.
These include the classic variation featuring butter and syrup, the Fresh berries variation with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, the Maple Pecan featuring cinnamon and candied pecan, and a Blueberry cheesecake variation featuring a cream cheese filling, blueberry jam, and fresh blueberries.
The cafe also added Dipped Croissants to its permanent menu, which are topped with either freeze-dried strawberries or crushed pistachios.
Limited-time spring menu offerings at La Madeleine include Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwich, cherry turnovers, cherry-topped cheesecakes, and white chocolate nut cookies.
These spring items are likely to remain on the menu for a short period of time, although no exact dates have been announced.
The new launch also saw the debut of wine-based cocktails on the cafe chain's menu, including the Bloody Mary, Espresso Martini, Parisien Sunrise, and the Cosmopolitan. These drinks are available to order all day as well.
