Café Madeleine
About This Spot
Nestled comfortably on Ashford’s High Street, Café Madeleine greets you with a quietly inviting charm that feels just like stepping into a friend’s thoughtfully arranged living room. The space strikes a delicate balance between cozy and airy — plush sofas curl up beside windows that let in gentle daylight, while touches like a glowing fire pit (whether real or artfully imagined) add warmth to the calm, easygoing vibe.
This is a place that encourages lingering, whether you’re settling in with a good book, catching up with a friend, or simply watching the world move by at a gentle pace. There’s an unhurried rhythm here, a soft hum of comfortable conversations and the occasional clink of ceramic cups, producing a quiet soundtrack to your visit.
The menu feels like a thoughtful companion to the atmosphere—well-curated choices that invite moments of simple pleasure, whether with a rich cappuccino, a slice of something lightly sweet, or a hearty breakfast served all day. It’s not about rushing through a meal, but savoring familiar comforts and unexpected delights alike, from creamy scrambled eggs to delicate crepes or a perfectly steeped pot of winter tea.
The staff’s warm attentiveness contributes to the welcoming spirit of the café, effortlessly blending professionalism with genuine care. This blend of kindness and calm makes it easy to relax, whether you’re seeking a quiet solo pause or a lively gathering over coffee and pastries.
Café Madeleine carries a distinct sense of place — a neighborhood spot that balances clean, cozy design with thoughtful details, fresh ingredients, and a menu that honors both tradition and variety. It’s a space where the simple act of sharing food and drink quietly unfolds into something more meaningful, a small but steady delight in everyday life.

Had a really nice time at the cafe. I like the design and set up , open and welcoming. There is an option to seat on the sofa near like the fire pit but not sure if it's real or more of a display. Staff were reasonably friendly and helped out when I had a question. The food was amazing and came out on time without any delays.

Lovely decorated cafe. Very clean and tidy. Friendly staff. Wonderful selections of foods (sweet and savoury). Lovely coffee. The gelato is absolutely to die for (the pistachio my favourite) haven't had a milkshake but with gelato that quality it can only be great. Absolutely would recommend to stop there and have a coffee, some food or treat yourself to a delicious waffle. I would say there is something for everyone on that menu.

A lovely place to eat. Always clean and tidy. Staff are really nice, polite, helpful, attentive. Lunch was delicious, plentiful and reasonably priced. They are child friendly too. They serve the best coffee here and make the most delightful bitesize cinnamon swirls... ALWAYS have a cinnamon swirl!!
