"The chicken salade is amazing, both rich and crunchy. It uses La Madeleine's signature balsamic marinated chicken which takes it a step above the average chicken salad. Excellent on its own or on a butter croissant."
"The tomato soup was so fresh and still hot when I revived. The grilled cheese was perfectly crunchy on the outside and melting cheese in the inside. Perfect combo. The full grilled cheese was way more than enough to be full."

"This is my second time ordering and I am never disappointed! 10/10"
"Very disappointing. I rninocide pictures. I paid for a large latte and it was barely 2/3 full. And the breakfast sandwich was one overcooked egg and a very small piece of bacon. On the paper ve side, there was a lot of avocado which I appreciated so I didn't rate this a 1 for that reason. With tip, a total of $30 is way too steep for what I received. "

"The vegan pumpkin spice carrot cake was delicious. Well made and nice texture. The coffee isn't great unfortunately."
"The presentation and packaging was good. However, taste was average. The side toast with butter was not crispy and came with one pat of butter which was insufficient. The strawberry jam was also a mini portion (.28 gram). The side roasted potatoes was a large portion but lacked flavor. The tuna side was dry. The side bacon strips (3) was very salty! I was expecting more."

"Just be prepared to have to show your ID proving that you're 21+ if ordering the Cold Brew lol (not doordash's fault that the drink is listed this way in the app). Everything was great and worth the price. Croque Madame was huge and the Smoked Salmon, Avocado, & Egg Sandwich looked like it was straight from Pinterest (and tasted great). Cold Brew with caramel flavor and Iced Latte with hazelnut flavor were extremely delicious. Halva Chocolate Chunk Cookie was very tasty with the coffee drinks."

"The food was tasty and hot. I liked how they covered the mashed potatoes to keep them warm. The bread was perfectly toasted. A+ all around."
"Over easy eggs were overcooked - no running yolk. The side of bread was stale and hard as a rock. And for $5 only got 2 pieces ( single Buttered Toast) but when you get it dining in it's 2 pieces of toast cut to give you 4 pieces. The eggs portions with kids Jr. Cupcake Pancake was small in comparison to what you get when dining in."

"Luzmila's is one of my favorite bolivian restaurants in the area. Located on rt 7/west broad street. Near Arlington, falls church etc. I just ordered a fricase that reminded me of home. It always gives me that cooked at home by a Bolivian momma feel. I love getting lechon there too with a side of rice. Or there plato completo with a sopa de mani or chairo and lechon. My fav 😍 "
"Moconchinche/peach drink - not sure what I was sent but it tasted like cold sweetened cinnamon tea. 3 stars QUESILLO BOLIVIANO - a block of cold cheese with nothing else; 1 star PUPUSAS - with bean & cheese; as seen in the picture its thin and not much filling. There barely anything inside and you only taste the corn. 2 stars for being edible Cunape - Just like a large PĂŁo de queijo, chewy & soft with the perfect amount of saltiness. It went well with every I ordered. It the only thing I would order again. 5 stars Platano Frito Grande - large order of maduros (sweet plaintains) that melted the styrofoam container as shown in the pictures. They are a solid 4 stars but -1 for the styrofoam issue. Overall, I wont order from them again. The onlyecent things was the cheese bread and icanget it at a better value elsewhere."

"Great brunch! Loaded Omelet Bar with all the veggies, provolone, and a side of avocado was huge and delish. Cheese pull was fabulous. Both the Chai Latte and Flat White were very good. Arrived in great condition."
"Very impressed. That was the best Omelet I've had since moving to the area six years ago and I've had them in much fancier places. (I got it with Cheddar and all the veggies, which I recommend.) The avocado was very bruised but still tasted fine. I have had better potatoes, but these weren't bad and were nicely seasoned. Fruit salad was fresh and the latte was acceptable. The toast and bagel weren't great but that's ok. Packaging was superb: everything was still warm. There are more culinarily ambitious breakfast places with higher quality ingredients but you can't beat doing the very best with what you have. "
