Madeleine Bakery
Each madeleine is baked fresh to order — delicate, buttery, and full of warmth. Made by hand. Made with love. Made with joy.
Our Story
La Joie was born from a simple belief: that a single perfect bite can brighten your entire day. Our madeleines are inspired by the classic French tradition — soft, shell-shaped, golden — but made with a personal touch that makes every batch feel like a gift.
We source the finest ingredients: rich European butter, single-origin chocolate, hand-selected pistachios, and slow-cooked caramel. Every madeleine is baked to order so it reaches you at peak freshness.
How We Bake
Choose your flavors and quantity. Every batch is made fresh — no inventory, no shortcuts.
We mix the batter from scratch, rest it overnight to develop the signature hump and airy crumb.
Each tray goes into a perfectly calibrated oven. Twelve minutes. Golden edges. That intoxicating butter scent.
Packed beautifully and ready for pickup or delivery. Best enjoyed warm, with good company.
Made with joy — because food made with love
always tastes a little sweeter.
Good to Know
Our filled madeleines are a modern twist on the classic French butter cake. Each madeleine is baked to a delicate golden finish and filled with a smooth, flavorful center for an extra indulgent experience.
We offer a selection of filled madeleine flavors, including seasonal creations and signature favorites. Each flavor is crafted with carefully selected ingredients to create a balance of texture and taste.
For the best experience, store your madeleines in their packaging or in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best enjoyed within 3 days of receiving them.
You can also freeze them; allow them to return to room temperature 4 hours prior to serving.
