Cozy cafe! I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the cafe and the cute details/decor around! I got the iced shakerato. Servers are very patient. Not technically a dog friendly cafe but they allowed my dog inside, since I usually keep him in a bag anyway so he doesn't cause any ruckus lol. read more

My wife and I were wandering the neighborhood on a beautiful day off. I checked Yelp and found Madman Espresso. Glad I did! Staff behind the counter were very nice and helpful with a recommendation. I decided on the double espresso and my wife went with a cold brew. The espresso had great crema and the flavor was very smooth! My wife enjoyed the cold brew as well. On the way out, had a nice conversation with a gentleman that seemed to be the owner. Definitely a coffee shop with a good vibe! read more

Madman Espresso - Cold brew and a Double Espresso! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Super cute coffee shop in the area of NYU and washington square park. The staff here are friendly. Yes, it is a small place but there is still a bit if room to sit at a table and enjoy your coffee. I got a specialty iced latte which had honey and cinnamon in it. There was a bit too much honey in it for my liking. This coffee shop was pretty packed when I went so it seems like it is a popular place. read more

Madman Espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Love this coffeeshop so much. Every time I'm in the area around NYU, I have to stop here and grab a cup of coffee. The coffee beans taste fresh and the temperature always comes out perfectly. I've never tried the flatbreads or pastries, but they always look delicious. There are a few seats inside, but I would say this is definitely a take out place and not a place to hang around to sit and chat. Service was expedited and quick. read more

Small charming cafe, great espresso and lattes. They also have a seasonal menu with pumpkin spiced latte, maple latte, strawberry matcha, apple cider, and peppermint mocha. read more

Such a cute little place and I really liked my coffee. Came with my dad and we ordered two macchiatos. He's from Italy and approved so I knew when I took that first sip it was going to be wonderful. The barista was nice and I saw her interacting with all the customers; it seems like a cute neighborhood spot. There's a chess board inside too! read more

Stopped by really quickly before heading to the Strand and this little shop is so unassuming but has amazing coffee! Got an iced americano with half & half and caramel syrup. Honestly, it tasted SO good, I'm not sure if it's their syrup or the coffee itself that's sweeter than others but I was so pleasantly surprised. Quick service & nice staff with outstanding coffee makes for a great experience. Definitely recommend checking them out. read more

Drinks are pretty good, the coffee is standard for a higher-quality NYC coffee shop. They have a good selection of alternative milks. Today I overheard the staff saying they had a pistachio milk, which I've never heard of before. I've also had the matcha latte and chai latte which are good too. Food is OK from what I've tried. The staff is always friendly and very prompt in making the drinks, even if the store is crowded -- I've never had to wait more than 3 minutes for a drink. They have a punch card rewards program, as well as a 10% student discount with a school ID. The outdoor seating arrangement is fantastic. It truly provides a nice vibe and a warm atmosphere. Both the espresso and bakery Madman locations have it and they're both near this dog grooming place so you're always sure to spot a nice variety of dogs while sitting here. read more

This place is very understated and does not feel corporate at all. What it does do well is the coffee. I had a latte and the barista knew what he was doing. The one on University has a cozy feel almost like you are in someone's living room. Nice place to grab a brew. read more

I ordered an iced chai from here with oat milk and was underwhelmed by it. The flavor was very light--almost nonexistent--and it just did not hit the spot. That being said, it came out quickly and the staff working were super friendly. read more

My favorite coffee/espresso spot. I love all the locations I have been to. I'm a huge fan of the latte and the cold brew. But even more, I appreciate the great, friendly service. in just a short time after I started making stops at Madman, I got to know the owners and staff as they got to know and welcome me. Even to the point where I can wave sleepily and be greeted by name and asked "latte with regular milk?" Also, my mom declares Madman the "absolutely best mocha I have ever had!Absolute best ever." read more

Madman Espresso - Double espresso. Not sure of what this is a blend of, but honestly I don't care. It was phenomenal. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

This is a nice place in a nice location. Take care if you sit by the window, because there's a tricky step down that can hammer your knee/back if you happen to be older than a college student when you leave. This was open for takeout during coronavirus a couple of days ago, but today the website says its quarantine hours would be until 7 pm and it was metal-gated shut before 5 (and possibly all day). read more

This is my absolute favorite place for iced lattes in the city!! Such nice staff too.

Got a FABULOUS sandwich from here. Could not recommend the truffle oil and prosciutto one enough.

Tiny spot. Maybe seats 6 tops. Great vibe. Very friendly/chatty. Felt very welcomed and instantly comfortable. They also are always very chill with me bringing my dog inside, which is nice (he's little and I keep him in a bag). I get a black iced coffee and it is solid- smooth and no heartburn after:D read more
