Review summary

Updated on Sep 2026
  • Flavor: These are lightly sweet and buttery, closer to a mini pound cake than a traditional madeleine — a pleasant surprise for some, though a few found them bland or dry.
  • Suggestions: Add a glaze, lemon curd, or a dusting of powdered sugar if you'd like more sweetness and flavor; they're also wonderful dunked in coffee or tea ☕.
  • Leftovers: They keep well in the freezer — pull a few out for an afternoon treat anytime you need a quick snack.

These are a lot bigger than standard Madeleines. A bit dry but yummy flavor.

Great deal especially at [MASKED] for 10. Big, individually wrapped and taste like pound cakes. Had to split them with my daughter because too much to eat with my coffee.

Not the best madeline I've ever had, but not bad. It just needs more flavor than just the butter, either a little vanilla or give it a glaze.

Pretty good. Remind me of a pound cake but with the texture of a cornbread muffin.

Interesting taste at first. Takes time for them to grow on you. Good in general. Wish there was some type of icing.

Kinda tastes like banana bread if you replace the bananas with butter. I liked and Dad really liked it but bananas are better.

I was surprised by how big these were, based on the photo and description, but otherwise they're pretty fantastic!
