I stopped in with some coworkers for a snack. Lots of different coffee drinks and a few tea options are available. My chai was very good, not too sweet with a nice foam top. My coworkers had an espresso milkshake and a hot Boscolatte that they really liked. The grilled chicken on sourdough Sammie was good. It had veggies and a special sauce that made it tasty. It came with potatoe wedges. Prices were comparable to other cafes. The seating area was big with tables and bar seating. The chairs were comfy. The windows have a nice view of IndependencePark. Some outdoor seating is also available but it was a rainy day. read more

Ran in here to pick up some quick sweets before heading to dinner.............I wanted to take them home to eat later.................oh! I was sooooo disappointed. They looked so tempting behind the display case, but they just did not make it in taste. I see all the great reviews and I'm probably the minority, but I would not visit here again. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

This was a wonderful place to sit down, eat, and relax. Will come here again very soon!

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. read more

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! read more

Busy area but there seems to be no other coffee shops, so Madis fills the need. Was very crowded and confusing when we entered, but we figured it out. We got a bag of beans, a matcha oat milk latte, a regular oat latte, the hummus toast and a turkey sandwich. The lattes were a good temp, but their presentation was off. Top was super foamy, not silky and creamy as a latte should be. The hummus toast was nice, perfect mix of acid and salt. The sandwich came with fried potatoes on the side and a sauce to dip in, all perfectly seasoned. The price is a bit high, maybe because of the location. read more

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. read more

I work in the area and recently visited Madis since I had heard some buzz about, and unfortunately, my experience was less than stellar. I ordered a cup of their house coffee. Given the prices, I was hoping for something rich and flavorful. Instead, what I received was quite mediocre--lacking in depth and complexity. It felt more like a basic brew rather than something crafted with care. It was drinkable, but definitely not memorable or considered a good value As for the muffin, it was one of the worst I've tasted. I chose a chocolate chip muffin. While it was moist, there was an almost chemical/stale taste. The chocolate, while plentiful didn't have the flavor that I expected; instead, they seemed to be an afterthought. I barely made it through half of it before deciding that it wasn't worth the calories and threw it into my office trash. Overall, this $10.00+ visit was disappointing. I hope they can improve their offerings, as every café deserves a chance to shine. But for now, I'll be looking for my coffee fix elsewhere. read more

The place is so cute inside and the coffee is good, but the wifi is TERRIBLE. Disconnects constantly and hard to do any work on a laptop... they should probably get two routers or not make the password public on the wall. read more

Coffee was good and the prices were great! I was expecting it to be more expensive given how close it is to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.

Madis Coffee on the West side of Independence Square, at 6th & Sansom (nominally 601 Walnut Street, Philly.) is my type of place. Good coffee, and a great selection of both sweet and savoury pastries, and I like the ambience. read more

Poor customer service and non-transparent pricing. I pointed out the price listed on their menu was not the price I was charged for a drink. When I asked for the listed price to be honored, I was told "we haven't updated the screen yet but this is our price". The guy working the register refused to honor the listed price. I would've left if my friends didn't order already. my drink (matcha latte) and food (coffee cake) were fine. not worth the price nor the hassle, but the location is good. read more

I have given this place several attempts, and each time I'm disappointed. The service is not wonderful. They are not unpleasant but they are dismissive and seem annoyed to be working. They are chit chatting and talking amongst themselves They call you name and you can't hear. It takes way too long for the coffee and food to be prepared. And it is small portions for way too much money. You should be embarrassed with the lack of chicken even in this bowl. I can't believe I paid $14 for this meal.... And I think they forgot the spicy part of this because it was very bland. Certainly won't be spending money there anymore read more

Cute new coffee shop! It can get busy but even with a lot of people, it's not too loud. I was served at the register by Nyla, who was very helpful and answered all my questions. I don't drink coffee but I got a London fog and it was delicious, my partner said the cappuccino was very good and made with high quality espresso. Definitely want to try some of the breakfast and lunch options, saw some nice fresh sandwiches and salads going out when I picked up our drinks read more
