Mad City is great. It's got the funky coffee place feel with a huge menu. Their bagel sandwiches are really good as well.Upvoted Dec 30, 2024
Cole TFebruary 20, 2018What a homey spot with decent coffee & wide selection of breakfast and lunch items. Service is a little slow. Good spot to study or to meet up with friends.
AndrewMay 17, 2021Solid Americano, nice staff, and a quiet place inside and out to enjoy. Don’t sleep on Mad City Coffee. ☕️
Pattee FletcherJune 28, 2015I love going to the independent shops like Mad City. Great coffee and excellent blends. Hearty sandwiches. Inside and outdoor seating.
Gamal AlexanderJuly 7, 2016Great coffee. Deserves a much higher rating than the one it has. Nice environment. Nice people.
Deborah KJanuary 31, 2015Mad City does not offer brewed Chai tea ... only Chai lattes from a mix. I got a refund because they could not offer me brewed tea. A local shop that wants to compete should carry Chai tea.
Free WiFi, though limited to 2 hours when I went around 3 (maybe during peak hours). Always a fan of the lattes though can't say the same about environment.
Jeffrey TMay 27, 2017Borderline third wave coffee shop. Most their roasts are pretty dark. They did make a decent latte though.
Just go up to the Batista and ask them to make you something good. I have never been disappointed.- Try a latte with white chocolate and cherry flavors...savory!
- Daniel DioGuardiApril 10, 2010I want to like this place more than I do. Assortment of great fair trade coffee, free WiFi, plenty of places to sit. It just lacks charm.
Ashley Serio AlfeoSeptember 27, 2011The coffee is okay but you can get the same for half the price at a Starbucks. Eggsalad tastes funny but I can put my finger on it, slightly tangy and spicy.
Plenty. of seats...though get there on Wednesday to get a City Paper...nice place to relax.
Great local coffee house EXCEPT the chairs are EXCEPTIONALLY uncomfotable. I'd pay $10 toward a new chair fund :).
- Jessie NewburnMay 12, 2010Great place to hang out if you're looking to date in the 55+ crowd. I, however, am not.
