I really enjoyed this coffee spot! It's a beautiful café located inside a gorgeous building, with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. They have a decent size drink menu with a fun selection of specialty lattes. I decided to order the Biscolatte and it was delicious. When in Philadelphia, I would absolutely stop in again!

Muffin and pastry choices
Shay K.

I had a lemonade and delicious red velvet muffin. The cream filling inside tasted like cheesecake. All their pastries looked delicious and they had a couple matcha choices at their coffee bar. It's a beautifully designed cafe with modern and unique lighting, big colonial size windows, plants, spacious table seating and outlets! Cone for a sandwich muffin drink and charge your phone so you can get back out and sightsee! Find this cafe across from the liberty bell inside Curtis Publishing Bldg.

Good barista food. Great coffee. Good ambience. Crowd puller for folks looking to work while have a cuppa. Nice quick service too. All good.

Blueberry Bliss and Salted Caramel
Komal R.

Their speciality latte menu is unique and it was difficult to decide what to get. I played safe and got the Salted Caramel Latte while my husband, who is more experimental, got the Blueberry bliss latte. Both were delicious, the blueberry was definitely very unique but I prefer and recommend their salted caramel which was a perfect balance of salty and sweet. Lots of space to sit inside as well as outside and saw many people with their laptops on a Sunday evening. We chose to sit outside as it was a perfect fall day and we got to enjoy some colors in washington square as well.

Chicken sando, cold apple peach tea, and blueberry muffin
Rosa Z.

At Madis, I ordered the chicken sando, apple peach tea, and blueberry muffin. The service was nice and friendly. However, the food tasted mid. At first, I enjoyed eating the chicken sando because the bread was perfectly toasted and the chicken was juicy, but when I ate the 2nd half of the sandwich, I realized that the sandwich was too heavy. The coleslaw, sauce, and buttered toasted bread made the sandwich hard to eat, due to the strong flavors. I feel like the sandwich is better to share, if you don't want to be too full but want to try it. The cold apple peach tea didn't have any sugar added and it showed. Also, I could barely taste the apple or peach flavor, but that could be because there was no artificial flavoring. For the blueberry muffin, I saved it and ate it later. It was alright, not bad but not amazing. I'd want to try their vegan banana bread next time though (their only vegan-friendly baked good). The interior of the cafe is cute but because the seating is limited, it's hard to get a seat. As I was eating, I noticed that some people came to the cafe, just to work on their laptop rather than come in for the food, which further limits the seating. It's a bit crowded and hard to find a seat but, luckily, because I was eating alone (rather than with a friend or a small group), I was able to find a seat quickly. Turns out there is also seating outside, if you're unable to find a seat indoors and if the weather is nice.

Beautiful space in an iconic and historic building. There's plenty of seating! The cafe definitely focuses on a wide variety of well curated and sourced beans. The drink menu is extensive and there's plenty of food items to try from. We got a cold brew with vanilla syrup, it honestly tasted like McDonald's french vanilla iced coffee. I wasn't mad about it.

Menu

DRINKS I've visited Madis a couple times over the past two months and have tried a couple items. Given its proximity to the Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, it's a popular place for tourists to come in and relax. Biscolatte: 5/10. The cookie chunks kind of settle at the bottom and are a bit soggy when drinking. Not the best experience texture-wise. Cinnamon honey spiced latte: 7/10. A classic drink, a little watery, but solid overall Salted caramel latte: 7.5/10. They use Monin syrup for this drink, and you can't go wrong if you choose this! Iced green tea: 7.5/10. Very refreshing. Naturally a little sweet, though you can add sugar at the station by the door if you want it sweeter! FOOD Various pastry and savory bakery items are available for purchase. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly! Drinks come uncapped, and there's a station by the door to add sugar, honey, or cream to your drink before you cap it yourself. Napkins and straws are also available. AMBIANCE It's a great place to catch up with friends or study/work. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available if you're looking to work/study, and outlets are scattered throughout the establishment. Ample seating is available both inside and outside the shop. PARKING Paid street parking is available at a limited capacity. BATHROOMS The bathrooms are clean and tidy!

Popped into this cute spot today while exploring Old City. I ordered an iced coffee which was pretty good. They had a prep station with multiple milk and sugar options including simple syrup and oat milk which was a nice touch. I liked the coffee, but not enough to not throw a couple of splashes of oat milk on top. The location is really cute. You can view the roaster through a glass window, and they have several tables that directly overlook it. There is plenty of seating including a high top counter overlooking outside. Don't miss popping into the building lobby (enter through the door to the left of the register) to see a stunning Tiffany mosaic. It is a must see!

I was excited to see this location open up after being a faithful customer at their University City location. Their salted caramel latte is always a hit. This location is big with both indoor and outdoor seating, which is needed because it does get packed!

French toast
Tammy C.

Overall impression of this place is that it is a cute coffee shop, but definitely on the pricier side. Two lattes, the French toast, and a salad all came out to around $50. Honestly, it also gets pretty crowded in there so you might not even get a seat. Albeit, there is a good amount of seating but there's also a good amount of people in there. My French toast was also on the drier side, small portion for the price, and didn't have too much flavor to it... I wouldn't get it again. The salad was fine too, but the chicken was dry. The service is fine, but I don't get the vibe that this is like your local coffee shop where they get to know your name because they have so many customers to go through. The aesthetic is cute though. But for a slow morning, I wouldn't go here because it's pretty expensive and gets very crowded.

Biscolatte and chocolate frappe
Randy B.

The person at the register was friendly and the cafe had an overall pleasant ambiance. This seems like a great place to work and study. However, the chocolate frappe was awful: tasted like watery milk, not a hint of coffee or chocolate, and took a while to prepare. I expected more from a $6 drink. The iced biscolatte was good and served in a timely manner.

Lobby Art
Diana C.

Had a really good matcha here. The staff was very knowledgeable about the ingredients and was very helpful in selecting a drink that didn't have allergens in it for me. This inside was really interesting and seemed like a good spot to sit and get work done. The art in the lobby is cool and you can see the coffee roasting area through the window. I'd definitely come back here if I was near the touristy area again!

Salted caramel latte and tiramisu latte

Very spacious and aesthetically pleasing inside! Lots of seating area and a good place to get some work done. We got the salted caramel latte and tiramisu latte, both very good. A little on the sweet side but delicious!

Is the cafe wheelchair accessible?

It would be difficult to maneuver a chair up the main stairs to the front and entry is very narrow. Possible there is a back/side entrance

I'm actually really upset that I stopped by this café... and let me tell you why…read more I'm not from the area--in fact, I live in Los Angeles, about 2,700 miles away. My family and I were in Philly for a World Cup match and decided to stop in for a chai latte and a coffee. There was a short line, and when it was our turn, we were greeted by the sweetest employee. She was incredibly welcoming, patient, and took the time to explain the different coffee blends they offered. We ended up getting the Colombia blend, which my husband absolutely loved. Now, why do I regret coming here? Because this was, without a doubt, the BEST chai latte I have ever had in my life. It completely ruined every other chai latte for me. The bar has been set so high that every chai I've had since has been a disappointment. I can't wait to make it back to Philly!

Inside AC is blasting (in a good way) so if you run cold, bring your jacket! I don't think the chairs are that comfy to stay long, and not very suitable to have a coffee yap with friends. If you buy their coffee beans (which is so economical!!) you'll get a free drink of choice!! I had their pumpkin spice latte w oat milk and it was tasty! Not overtly sweet and tasted like autumn and crunchy leaves! The staff seemed very nice and knowledgeable, not pretentious!

It is a very small shop, so there are only a few tables inside, along with a few outside depending on the weather. Although small, the interior is clean and cozy. A single restroom is available. Parking is on the street. Mild noise level. They have a good amount of drink options, including rotating specials, as well as pastries, bread, and misc items like granola and coffee beans. The drinks are delicious - definitely recommend their matcha. The pastries are huge, flavorful, and filling. Slightly dry but I did go right before closing. They have a nice variety of flavors (both sweet and savory), so most palettes will be satisfied. Prices are definitely fair. If I weren't just a traveler passing through, this would easily become a regular spot for me. It's at least on the "must return to" list! 10/10 recommend.

The service was also super kind and answered all my questions I had beforehand.

Just with the potatoes and omelette alone was a ginormous portion. It also came with toast of my choice. I got the Spanish omelette without mushrooms. Don't judge me for eating my eggs with ketchup, please! I liked how the eggs tasted but not so much for the potatoes. I found them too greasy. I also wish my basket of jellies came with more marmalade!! Still, the food and the service turnaround time was phenomenal given the volume of diners in the restaurant. If I'm back in the area again, I would love to try out their pancakes and waffles. The ones eaten by other diners looked delicious!

A good one at that, the cold brew for $4 (with FREE oat milk in a help-yourself-carafe) was exactly what I was hoping for and wanting. I bopped down from my room, grabbed some drinks, then went back up to my room for little iced coffees in bed. They even had a vegan food option: a coconut yogurt parfait. But is this a destination spot in Philadelphia for coffee? No. I'd still recommend it if someone was specifically staying here; but, also there's genuinely innnncredible coffee shops nearby. So if you're looking for ease/convenience/reliability? Yes, yes, all of that. If you're looking for something special or memorable? I don't know, probably not. And. That's. Okay.

The style of the café was great with a modern and clean, yet warm enough to make those early morning hours seem somewhat purposeful, and not as rushed as they could be! If you're looking for breakfast options, it is slightly limited at this café. There were some muffins and baked goods available. My experience with El Café in The Hilton Mōttō was very good overall. I enjoyed the hot chocolate. It was rich, smooth and perfect comfort in the morning on the go. The customer service was also great! They were friendly, helpful and welcoming.

Space: Minimalism at its core (and that really clean aesthetic here works)! There's so many places to sit: low top shared tables in the center, low top tables by the window, seats at a high bar facing the wall, seats at a high coworking space-like counter, seats outside when the weather is good.
