Perfect to work from! Literally the cutest and nicest coffee shop around Penn Station I've seen in a while. Seats for working and a very good WiFi to work on. But don't be too loud or stay too long. It's not that huge and it's a chill vibe. They have delicious drinks to order from. I got the Manchinno which is chai, chocolate and espresso. I got it without the espresso. Me and espresso is a scary combo. Do not sleep on the focaccia sandwich. They have an assortment and they all looked so yummy, but I got the "Nonna Maria" with prosciutto and parmigiana reggiana cheese and balsamic glaze. This toasted was everything I needed. Shout out to the guy behind the counter who was holding down the fort all by himself. He's def a champ. Leaving this spot bookmarked for future visits. read more

We stopped in here with some friends on our way to go stroll the Highline as we needed a good pick-me-up. The inside is fairly small, but there are a good amount of places to sit. They have two tables (one on each side of the door) that are up on a platform, facing the window. These are PERFECT little places to sit and people watch (one of my favorite activities). I ordered the Principessa - a white chocolate, raspberry and vanilla latte. This choice was out of the norm for me, but I'm pleased to say that I enjoyed it! The service was decent and the coffee was prepared rather quickly. I'd definitely stop in again if I happened to be in the area! read more

Great coffee shop to peacefully get some work done at. Tables are spaced out with good access to outlets. They have wifi but you gotta ask for the password up front. Unique coffee drinks. I got the Principessa - the white chocolate and raspberry latte. The quality of the coffee was good and the drink was pretty sweet which is what I was looking for that day. Just a friendly reminder to close the door behind you so the customers working there can stay cozy :) read more

Madman Espresso - Inside - spacious and not crowded - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Stopped in for a coffee, quickly, with a smile. The barista immediately had an attitude. Headphones on his head and zero f***s to give. I Ordered and paid for a decaf Americano, then was told they were out of decaf. HE was frustrated by this apparently. He huffed and puffed as I thought about what else I could get. Still not sure what he ended up making me. He's taking the name of the cafe a bit too literally. read more

The location of madman espresso could not be more prime - it sits between three popular bagel shops, providing such good quality coffee to serve those looking for a good bite and sip - both the latte and Americano were absolutely delicious. the espresso was rich and deep. doesn't taste burnt at all. - it's a pretty large space with seating for probably 15 people. it was quiet and the drinks were out quickly. - they have pistachio milk and macadamia milk, which I thought was super fun. I am not a fan of upcharges for alternative milks but at least they didn't charge me for a splash of almond milk in the Americano. read more

Outlets are well spaced out given the seating structure. The tables by the front windows are super cute. There is wifi but it's not advertised and you wouldn't know it unless you asked (which is good because there's fast turnaround). Of course, make sure to buy something! Music isn't too loud, good vibes all around. This feels like a hidden gem to get work done. Only thing is the lack of bathroom, which many mentioned. Temp is good but the door needs to keep being closed manually, otherwise it gets drafty. Very clean, fast service. I didn't realize the food is different at each location--this one doesn't have any of the bagel/egg options, but I did get a focaccia sandwich (truffle shuffle) for $9.50. Barista offered to heat it up, but it was not very warm, which I didn't mind. Still yummy. Also got the principessa, which I loved. Not scalding, perfect ratio of flavoring that wasn't too overpowering/syrupy. Interested in trying all their other drinks, and the pastries also look delicious. read more

Great spot in midtown for a quick coffee. They had some fun Valentine's Day themed drinks but also a unique selection of coffee drinks plus classics. Staff was quick and friendly and we were able to sit and enjoy our drinks. read more

Found the theme of this spot humorous and enjoyed their creative drinks. I appreciated that they provide seating as that's not something easy to find in this area. We ordered a Carmelisa and a Vanillaria, and both were decent lattes. They use Monin brand syrups, not sure about the espresso beans. Staff were kind, cozy warm cafe vibes on a cold day, simple and enjoyable espresso drinks. read more

The space is edgy, bordering on freeform madness and I love it. They have a classic and signature menu. I have to admit I may have ordered the wrong drink as I got a matcha when clearly the name of this shop should have prompted me to order an espresso, but I was on espresso overload trying out a couple of other places earlier. The matcha is deep so that is good. Definitely worth a try. Casual. Indoor seating. Please come and create your own experience. read more

The ambiance is amazing, it's a cute little coffee shop with plenty of seating for a small place. I ordered the princepessa special, it was white chocolate with raspberry, 2% milk, and double espresso. I ordered it lukewarm and it came hot so it wasn't the best when I first tried it but once I started walking in the street, it cooled down and was perfect. Nice level of sweetness, you can clearly taste the raspberry. I should've mixed it around more because the white chocolate syrup was heavy towards the bottom of my drink but it was absolutely delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting midtown! read more

While there was nothing necessarily bad about this place it just did not meet the mark. The menu had many unique sounding specials so maybe those tast better! The matcha was not strong at all and tasted mostly like milk. I did get some extra powder added when I expressed that the matcha felt watered down. While I appreciate the service, the powder did not do much and just made the texture odd. The caramel latte was a little stronger it was just about average and tasted a little too homemade. The Barista was sweet and the place feels like a cute local shop. But just let down by the quality of the drinks :( read more

Absolutely nothing good to say! Bagel w/cream cheese was inedible but the worst part was the Chai Latte and Pumpkin Spice latte. Just no!

It's important to have places like this tucked in the nooks and crannies of Midtown Manhattan. A place with enough seating to have your own space, high ceilings to make the small space feel bigger, and a calm atmosphere to take away from the frantic, quite frankly manic, energy of midtown. Oh and a place that SLANGS great espresso. Madman has become me and my big homies goto spot to grab a coffee. I love Culture Espresso as much as the next person, but that place can get to be a zoo at prime coffee hours. We came here yesterday, and I was initially shocked as he pulled up with short hair and normally his flow is crraaaaazzyyyyyyyy. After asking him why he cut it and what inspired it, I was like damn should I cut mine too? After gathering my bearings from haircut-gate, I copped my patented hot americano with a cup of ice on the side (vet move) and the big homie got a latte... or maybe it was a cappuccino it's really stripping my mind rn damn... I said "stripping my mind" but obviously meant "slipping my mind" but I'm currently listening to that RHCP song "Strip My Mind" ahahaha my b. I was gonna edit that out but just thought y'all should know that. I've attached a pic of the lattuccino in question. It had that beautiful little flower-like design on it... honestly how do baristas do that? That is pure art. How hard is that? I kinda want someone to teach me that just to see how tough it is so I have a greater appreciation for it. I never get milk based coffee because it upsets my tummy (my immune system is iron though I promise), but when someone does and it has that little art I'm always blown away. Little details can make the biggest difference sometimes. Anyways, on the way out there is a big sign above the door that says "Life is Beautiful." I couldn't agree more Madman, I couldn't agree more. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ read more

We went to Liberty Bagels to grab bagels in the morning, which was packed and had nowhere to sit, so Madman Espresso was very kind to let us bring our bagels in there. We purchased coffee from Madman, which was very good and had cute latte art, and we were able to sit down and enjoy our bagels and coffee. Highly recommend! read more

Cozy cafe with a beautiful chalk written menu! The menu is pretty extensive with some amazing gluten free and vegan pastries and awesome drinks. I ordered the large lavender latte with almond milk and it was absolutely wonderful. The notes of lavender were not too overpowering and it was just an awesome latte through and through. I would definitely recommend this cafe for work as it was very quiet and not too busy. Although the cafe is a bit small, they have some very cool seating areas. There are also some very cool hand painted art pieces on the wall which give this place a very chill and unique feeling! Definitely recommend grabbing a latte from here if you're in the city. read more

I stopped by recently on a Monday morning to get some work done, and had a great experience. The coffee shop is super spacious, so there's plenty of room to work in, the wifi was fast, and it wasn't too crowded, so I felt like I could focus well. Service was friendly and fast, and I could tell that this was a local spot from the number of times the barista greeted people by name. I got a cortado, and it was pretty solid. On the darker side, with a nice nutty undertone. A bit on the milky side; larger than your normal cortado, so that it was bordering on a smaller latte, but I didn't mind. Overall, really good spot to get some work done! read more

An excellent coffee in a small coffee shop. We came here after getting an atrocious coffee across the street at Best Bagels. Desperately in need of a good coffee on a chilly day, Madman served it up amazingly well. My cappuccino was smooth, rich, and creamy just as it should be. My girlfriend ordered a latte which was on the strong side for her taste, but she said it was really good. The barista was really friendly and the coffees were made very promptly. The cafe had a warm and cozy atmosphere and felt conveniently located. read more

Madman Espresso was beyond my expectations. I've heard about how good the coffee is and I heard correctly. Plus they have huge Quiche that I'm going to try. The employees were super friendly and helpful. Service was quick and I can sit inside with my coffee. The atmosphere is very relaxing. I didn't ask for a restroom. I didn't see one. I like a lot of businesses in this neighborhood. I do have to pass by the undesirable pedestrians on the sidewalks along 8th Avenue when I'm walking to get there. I'm glad I knew where I was headed. I try my best not to bump into anyone. There are a lot of tourists coming here too. I'm sure this Spring I'll be back for the small coffee. It's really a huge cup. I asked for the smaller cup and the employee charged me less. To me their small is the size of a medium coffee. It's really delicious coffee. Try it!! read more

Straight from JFK we were on a mission to get a caffeine fix before attempting the ridiculous wait at the nearby Hermès sample sale so I picked this place based on the location and yelp reviews. It's a basic coffee shop in a popular area and I found the espresso in my oatmilk flat white to be just average and nothing I would go out of my way for again. There's a fair amount of seating here and I did appreciate that they had at least one vegan option in their pastry case, but my friend and I opted to grab our drinks to go and unfortunately he liked his cold brew even less than how I felt about my flat white. read more

I really liked this place and really wanted to give it a higher rating, but they made my chai latte dirty after I told them I don't like coffee. The cashier was very nice taking my order and the barista made a cute heart in my chai, but when I tasted it, all I tasted was espresso. I ordered a chai latte with lavender. Usually it would be delicious, but this just tasted like coffee, which I told the cashier I do not like. I was sad, but stirred it up and gave it a try. Throughout the whole cup, I never tasted chai or lavender. The 3 stars is due to a great place to sit and relax, but be ready to be specific and possibly send back your order. read more
