The coffee and barista drinks are really good here. Previously I had ordered food and it too was excellent. If you are in the area I recommend dropping by for a coffee, pastry, a sandwich, or a salad! read more

We stopped in before the Madison/Mayodan parade and we were super impressed with this coffee chop. Even amidst the parade crowd, we got our order in a timely fashion - no fuss. The girl working the register was also super friendly which we appreciate. The Christmas cookie latte was right up my alley. Gingerbread, cookie butter, and vanilla cold foam were the flavor profiles and you still get the bitter bite from a bold coffee. I'm more of a bold coffee drinker than a "more milk than coffee" person so this coffee was delicious. I'll certainly be back to try more! read more

Just recently moved out to Stokesdale trying new places around our area. Seen this coffee shop looked like a great place I could work for a few hours. The staff was very friendly. They had plenty of seating available with. The walls were filled with art and lil homemade stuff you can purchase. Large glass store front with ample light coming in. Coffee was great the Cary many varieties on there menu. I will definitely be back to try more item on there menu and update this review! read more

The cutest local coffee shop! I stopped in for a quick lunch between Martinsville and the airport and was so pleasantly surprised. The staff were incredibly friendly, the shop was adorable, and the food was delicious. Homemade food, great coffee, and wonderful people--an unexpectedly great experience. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit. read more

Arrived in a state of zombieness and ordered a cup of Mad Bean's Secret Society coffee and some breakfast. Great scrambled eggs and breakfast wrap. Left far more awake with a happy belly. Definitely a gem in downtown Madison. read more

Such a lovely coffee shop. I wasn't expecting the opportunity to shop as well. All the local vendors were so much fun to look at. I ordered a large, iced, butterscotch latte. They have the amazing small crunchy ice! It wasn't as sweet as I prefer but it was still good. What sold me over all was the ambiance and design of the shop. It was super cute and cozy. read more

Madbean is hands down my favorite coffee shop. I genuinely think their coffee tastes better than any big chain -- and it's not just the drinks. The warm atmosphere, kind staff, and customizable options make every visit special. They also have the best refreshers, fully approved by my fiancé, who doesn't usually like coffee. It's the first spot we both enjoy together! Even if you're not local, it's worth the drive. Their coffee is the perfect pick-me-up to energize your day. read more

We stopped in couple weeks ago and got few drinks the milk shakes we got had big pieces of ice in them my son got choked on them the coffee was bland we have been hear many times before but this time wasn't good and was out of things also read more

The last time I visited was over 2 years ago. At that time, I invited my bridal party to meet there for lunch. We had a great time and wonderful food & drinks! My mom and I were back in the area last month and remembered how much we enjoyed it, so we stopped back in. We had no idea they had closed down their kitchen. It's only a coffee shop now that also introduced some cute trinkets, gem stones, stickers, etc for sale. I love the vibe. It's definitely still worth stopping in & their staff is great, but soooo disappointing they don't have food anymore. read more

Mad Bean has such a cozy feel and I love all of the displays for local artists! Amazing coffee and eats too!

wonderful destination for delicious sandwiches & coffees, great environment & interesting crafts for sale

What a cool little coffee shop that has various local goods for sale. Very artisanal and unique. Some honey based soaps and lotions, jewelry, books, slingshots, native American trinkets. Nice vibe inside. We opted to have hot cocoa and it was very good. read more

Good coffee. Cool vibe. Attentive wait staff. We are thrilled to have such a chill coffeehouse in our small town. Small case of pastries and baked goods to choose from but they changed their menu when they renovated. The new design and floor plan is very nice but no more hot food items, sammies or wraps. They need to update their menu here on Yelp. read more

The best coffee shop in Rockingham county. The place has charm and has lots of places to sit and do work, relax, or even play a guitar. I highly recommend! read more

This place is great! I got a caramel macchiato which was the perfect balance of flavor and sweetnesss. Can't wait to see the renovations! (I also really like the coffee sleeves on the cups!) read more

Great little local coffee shop. Has a cool vibe,nice people an good coffee! Totally recommend a visit if you're in the area

Went a few weeks ago for lunch with an out of town friend. The atmosphere was amazing and staff was super friendly. I can't comment on the food as they were out of 90% of stuff on their menu. Smoothie was good. I left hungry and went to McDonald's. read more

Great coffee house that serves fantastic sandwiches, soups (fall & winter) and salads (summer). I'm not a coffee drinker, but they have great southern sweet tea with real sugar. Frappes, smoothies and of course all types of hot and cold coffees and teas. read more

First time here. Loooved the chicken salad wrap. I love one with grapes and pickles. Good flavor. If you hate onions maybe don't get it but if you like them go for it. My friend got the pimento cheese quesadilla and it was very good. Both served with chips. Prices are great. Didn't get the coffee but also looked good. They also had canned goods and paper goods to sell... maybe because of the Covid times? Will def come back when visiting my friend! Hidden gem that seems out of place here. Would imagine this place in Winston, Durham, or Asheville. read more

Continues to deliver fantastic coffee. I also had a tomato/ basil pesto quesadilla recently that was very well prepared. As always, I thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere. I only wish they'd consider opening 1/2 an hour earlier to accommodate locals that have to be at work before 8am. read more

The Mad Bean - Iced Cuban latte 1/2 sugar. So yummy! Thanks! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Madison, North Carolina

Not impressed. $40 for 3 sandwiches and sweet teas? Gimme a break. Second time there, will not be going back. Cute place, sure wish Madison had a better place than this! No rye bread for the Ruben? Unacceptable! Had to settle for 3 slices of roast beef, a leaf of lettuce , and 4 chunks of a tomato on chibata bread. Ugh. God only knows what the sandwich prices were because the price is blacked out next to the sandwich description! Is it $3 or $18! Who knows. My guess is $18. Bye bye Bean. read more

Great coffee for sure. They always know what I want and it's perfect every time!!! Thank you for amazing customer service, price and a different choice other than over priced coffee shops that make terrible coffee. read more

Very impressed. I love the building and the decor is absolutely adorable. Good coffee, free wifi, fun vibe, interesting menu. We just stopped in for coffee this morning but we'll be back for lunch sometime. This is in a good "old downtown" shopping area with lots of neat ecletic little shops. Definitely a Christmas shopping destination area. read more

This was my first visit to The Mad Bean. I was in this small town for a meeting. And was in desperate need of a cup of coffee and hopefully a pastry. The inside is absolutely precious. The coffee not so much. I asked for a dark brew and was told that the pot had just been made and refills were free. There was a large chocolate chip cookie wrapped in plastic wrap, and I chose that. This was a take along order. The female server was confused by my phone payment and said that the internet was having problems. I handed her my physical metal card and she didn't know how to use it. We settled for a normal bank card. I can understand all of these issues. Got in my car and drove away. Everything I ordered was unedible. The coffee was like drinking colored water and the cookie was so stale and hard that it crumbled when I broke it. Everything went into the trash. I don't know if I'll be returning to this town again. But if I do ... I won't return to The Mad Bean. read more

Very nice "hole in the wall" place for coffee and sandwiches. Old decor but very friendly staff and nice place to hang out with friends and family. read more

Always friendly staff and if you're hungry... the RockingHam is delicious!! The mochas, hot or cold are phenomenal and I love the atmosphere

They've seriously revamped the place! Great little vibe and coffee to match! Go give it a shot! (Or 3 if it's needed to get ya going )

I'll start by saying the service up front was great! However the kitchen was awful! The food was wrong, 2 times, and was terrible. The salsa and sour cream that was supposed to come with our nachos came 10 minutes after the nachos, we never got the jalapeños, and the salsa served to us was rancid. When the cook did bring out our meal replacements, she slammed them on the table and walked away with no apology whatsoever. The front staff lady was very attentive and tried her best to make things right. However, I would not recommend eating the food here. read more

Let me start off by saying that I'm not from NC. There aren't a lot of breakfast/coffee shops in Madison - atleast from what I gather. It's unfortunate that there weren't more people - however, if you're ever wary to stop in - DO IT!!! It's adorable, cozy, warm - I went on a rainy day and I honestly didn't want to leave. I ordered coffees (which were better than any Starbucks I've been) - they unfortunately only have only one type though - still great. I had pancakes and an omelet - pancakes were alright - the omelet was YUMMMYY !!! Different than anything I tried in NJ/NY. They also have live/local musicians play on certain nights - I will definitely stop by to hear some music before I head out of town. But GOOOO GOOOO GOOO to the Mad Bean! read more

Madison finally has an awesome coffee house, not only is it the only show in town, it is genuinely one of the better coffee shops you will find. The owners are extremely friendly, the coffee is delicious, they also have a nice selection of local brews. This place makes a concerted effort at exposing local musicians to the populace as well, the live music usually has real quality to it. I am so happy to have a place like this, not just in Rockingham County, but in Madison. Great job! read more

My favorite coffee spot! They have everyone beat! My daughter gets the vanilla cappuccino on ice and I get the caramel one. I love the downtown, historical atmosphere. They also have the best bagels!!! read more

Boy, this place is rough. I came for some lunch with a few friends and while we were eating the waitress kept going over to the bathroom to scream at her kid. Her kid just kept screaming back, and the situation just did not get any better. We ate as fast as we could to hurry on out of there, and we definitely won't be back! read more

Tasty sandwich, very good coffee, the barista appeared awkward, perhaps new? I always stop in when I'm in town! Love the atmosphere

I am very excited to have a good coffee house by me here. To start off this review lets go with the positives. First the coffee it self is great. I had a macchiato where the coffee was pronounced but not over bearing and not to darkly roasted and very caffinated. The staff ,a husband and wife team, are very friendly. The bulding it's self is an old place with lots of creeks but that is just part of it's charm. It has lots of nice comfy seating to spend some time reading a book. They also say they have live music every weekend but as I haven't seen it i am not really factoring that in my current rateing. Now for why only 3 stars at this point. Currently the selection of drink choices are limited, basicly cappuccino, macchiato, and coffee. Teas are just biglow bags and not much for food choices. Also the big deduction for me is the wait time is a bit excessive currently. For 3 drinks it took almost 10 min with no one ahead of us. If they can get that speed up some, as I am sure they will with experience, then I will gladly up my score. read more

What an awesome coffee shop! We wandered in from out of town and were blown away. My brother and his wife just moved down the street and can't wait to make this a regular stop. Great coffee, friendly staff, and really cool decor. It seems like a great spot to hang out. read more
