Vegan scramble option but don't trust it's actually vegan - Edit

They have a very yummy vegan tofu scramble option that comes with a side of potatoes that is always accidentally cooked in butter. And itll smell like straight up ghee when you get it so be cautious before scarfing it down. It's supposed to be cooked in coconut oil but the cook doesn't get notified properly so I started asking for a side salad and sliced avocado with unbuttered toast. This has happened a few times.

Coffee here is great!

Pros: Cute atmosphere, Great coffee

Cons: Can't trust the vegan option is cooked vegan, Only 2 vegan options

Limited but delicious options - Edit

The vegan scramble is super delicious, but it’s just about the only vegan thing on the menu. They do also have avocado toast. I will definitely keep coming back for the vegan scramble though! Staff is also very nice and accommodating. My vegetarian husband likes to add tofu to the vegetarian panini & the staff is great with that request. I hear the vegan scramble is only available at the north park location, so make sure you go to the right one!

Pros: Delicious vegan scramble, Yummy drinks (lattes, mimosas, and other specials)

Cons: Limited options, Menu is not consistent across locations

Veg Options Limited - Edit

Note: Take this review with a grain of salt, as I did not go to this location but the one in South Park.

My friend and I decided to try Cafe Madeleine since their online menu offered a vegan scramble. The vegan scramble is mentioned on their regular menu and their “North Park only” menu, so this scramble may exist at the North Park location, but in South Park, the vegan options were limited. I was starving and ended up getting a decent modified avocado toast, but it was nothing special and pretty pricy, in my humble opinion. There were no vegan pastries (nor did the online menu claim there would be). They offered a couple of non-dairy milk, but in 2023 that often feels like the bare minimum.

If you’re vegetarian, there are plenty of pastries and few food choices, but if you’re vegan, I would consider calling ahead or being prepared for limited (to no) options. Charming decor, though!
