Vegan Banana Bread
Jessica P.

Stopped in because of the vegan pastry options, and there were three: peanut butter cookie, chocolate chip tahini cookie and pumpkin bread which was very dark with nutmeg. The chocolate chip cookie had a very chewy texture but was bland and not worth finishing. The pumpkin bread was also kind of flavorless but worth eating the whole thing. Service was decent and the place seemed rather clean. Close to Penn Station so pretty convenient.

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.

People watching from inside

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!

Super good coffee! Beans are strong and the vibes in there are immaculate. My kind of slow chill rnb music was playing over the speakers. Fun names for the lattes. Workers are chill and nice.

Inside - spacious and not crowded

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 :)

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.

Truffle shuffle and principessa
Jessie K.

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.

Loved the coffee here! The service wasn't super friendly but I think that's just New York for ya, baby. I got the Madmancino iced and it was absolutely delicious. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in the city

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.

carmelisa iced
Elizabeth B.

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.

Everything bagel with Salmon
Christine H.

Fantastic coffee and Bagel creations - friendly service and great ambiance. Great for a stop, relax and enjoy!

Maria G.

Is a great spot to enjoy quality coffee in the heart of Midtown. The atmosphere is modern and welcoming, perfect for a quick break or getting some work done. The espresso is rich and well-crafted, and they also offer fresh options for breakfast or a light lunch. A solid stop if you're near Penn Station or exploring the area.

Carameliza
Steve W.

Ordered a caramellisa - espresso, caramel and sea salt. Asked them to go light on the caramel and it was damn near perfect. Best coffee I've had in the city in a long while. Fantastic .

This might be one of the most beautifully curated bakeries I've ever been to. I was completely…read moreobsessed the second we walked in, especially with all of the desserts designed to look like actual fruit! Mango, blueberry, avocado, lemon - you name it, they somehow turned it into the cutest, most beautifully crafted pastry. Everything looked almost too pretty to eat... almost. We definitely tried more things than we probably needed to, but it was 100% worth it. The pastries weren't just beautiful either--they were genuinely delicious. We also tried a couple of their specialty lattes, which were really tasty and paired perfectly with all of the desserts. It was VERY busy when we visited, so definitely expect a crowd, but I completely understand the hype. The space is beautiful, the pastry cases are basically works of art, and there are so many things you'll want to try that it's almost impossible to choose. Honestly, this place would be dangerous if I lived nearby because I would be here WAY too often. Absolutely worth a visit, especially if you love pastries and desserts!

The new drink edition that just been launched (Flatiron location only) is -86 degrees Celcius Dirty is amazing. The cup came out from the freezer and then the coffee and milk were poured into it. If you can drink it in 1 minute, you unlock the ice cream in it. Every dessert felt like a little work of art. The presentation is exquisite, but what stayed with me most was the taste. The flavors are delicate, beautifully balanced, and clearly created with so much thought and care. Absolutely phenomenal from presentation to the very last bite.

Stopped by Daily Provisions to order breakfast on a Wednesday morning. There's seating indoors…read more(with low back stools) and seating out front (about four tables). I had to run to work after an appointment so I ordered for takeout. The person taking my order was friendly. I opted for the Lumberjack and a black cold brew. I received the drink very quickly, with a short wait for the sandwich. While waiting, one member of the staff stocking up supplies on the side started chatting with me and then she offered to check up on my sandwich. She came out with it shortly thereafter. She was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich held up well during my 15-minute commute to the office. It is a really indulgent sandwich, with each bite revealing the sweetness and butteriness of the maple crueller, the saltiness of the thick cut bacon, and the savoriness of the cheese and the eggs as the yolks popped. I sipped the cold brew in between bites to cut the richness. It was a very satisfying meal. The Lumberjack is not something I would recommend you eat every day, but it's good as an occasional treat. In the past I've ordered lunch from Daily Provisions via delivery (the "Chefy" salad and the chicken milanese with arugula salad are my favorites), but I might start adding other breakfast sandwiches to the mix.

I've been here a few times but today I finally came early enough to try the famed Lumberjack, a…read moreB.E.C. sandwiched between a maple cruller. It's delicious. The peppery, thick bacon and the quite sweet, icing-topped cruller are a beautiful study in contrasts. The egg was nicely runny. I will say that's it's definitely not a good on-the-go sandwich, as it falls apart easily. However, I don't think this is a great spot for coffee. I was a bit underwhelmed by my latte, which tasted more like thin drip coffee than a rich, strong espresso. I also think they could offer more sweetener options.

The Almond Croissant (7/10) had an amazing flaky crust, dense interior, and crispy almonds on top. Honestly, probably the best almond croissant I've had texture-wise, but I'm not a huge fan of almond paste in the middle, which is probably just because I'm not really an almond croissant person. The Cardamom Bun (8.5/10) was the best cardamom bun I've ever had!! The bread was super soft and pillowy, almost like a dinner roll, but the outside was caramelized and had so much cardamom flavor.
