Give mom the gift of mom-osas from Walk-On’s on Sunday

Grab a Mother’s Day bundle from La Madeleine

Order through takeout, curbside pickup and delivery from La Madeleine as you and your family celebrate Mother’s Day. Pickup a Mother’s Day brunch for four, including your choice of quiche, a strawberry and bacon spinach salad, a gallon of iced tea and four lemon tarts. Rather just gift a whole bundle to mom? The restaurant also offers a Mother’s Day gift bundle of a jar of La Madeleine Jam, cookies, a gift card and more.

More bundles are available here.

La Madeleine is at 7707 Bluebonnet Blvd., Suite 190, and 7615 Jefferson Highway.


Order some goodies from local businesses for Mother’s Day

It wouldn’t be Mother’s Day without dessert.

And don’t forget the florals for mom’s at-home Mother’s Day tablescape.
