About Us

Marie Louise “Madame Mado” Point, of restaurant La Pyramide, was admired for her high standards of hospitality and quality, which were excellently maintained for many years after her esteemed husband’s passing. Cafe Mado is our homage to her legacy and our shared belief that a restaurant is a collective narrative that is continued and enriched by every team member's contributions.

At Cafe Mado, our menu draws from both the rich culinary traditions on the French and Italian Riviera, as well as California’s light and seasonal cuisine. We’ll have coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and baked goods (from our recently opened Laurel Bakery on the Columbia Street Waterfront) in the mornings and will transition to seated dining at our cafe, where the menu will feature a variety of sandwiches, seasonal salads, tartines, and entrees.
