Reviews: J. Paul's and La Madeleine Bakery Cafe

Initial thoughts:

• Design and Decor:  Cafe setting...nothing special.
• Wait:  None.
• Food:  The French Onion Soup was below average.
• Drinks:  Good lattes and cappuccinos
• Price:  Low
• Service:  No service
• Would I go back?  No

For some reason, I thought I heard good things about this place so I took my friend there.  It was a bit embarrassing.  The soup was pretty awful.  All the cheese was at the bottom, rather than properly melted over the top.  Good coffees, but I wouldn't go back.
