Mad Bean ordering counter.
Dan S.

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!

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.

Cozy interior.

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.

Caramel macchiato

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!)

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.

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.

Iced Cuban latte 1/2 sugar. So yummy! Thanks!

Great coffee! Wide selection and the barista said she could most likely make any sort of coffee we were thinking of. Love it here.

LOVE THE REUBEN SANDWICH. Great corned beef ( no fat). Yummy sauce and sauerkraut. Good cheese. I…read morecould eat one everyday. But the other day I decided to get a sub with ham, turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Delicious. Just the right amount of mayo and lots of good Boars Head meats. My grandson ( who did get his Reuben) got the Asisn pasta salad as his side. I got the cucumber salad. Which cucumbers in a vinegar based dressing. I love the fact there are so many sides to choose from. My favorite is the Delicious refreshing broccoli salad. They offer 2-3 pasta salads, egg salad, potato salad. Regular and German potato salad. My cucumber salad. And to complete your Delicious meal they have coconut cake. And the best pineapple cake. YUM YUM. Worth going just to try the cake. They now offer wraps as well as sandwiches. All of the soups are good Especially when you get a grilled cheese with the tomato soup. Home run. I could eat bowls and bowls of the soup. They can make you a salad if that's what you prefer. They offer soda drinks. I livethe Arnold Palmer..half sweet tea half lemonade. They offer canned sodas as well. The staff are always friendly. Good place for a family meal. Or a business meeting. Which is where I do have a business meeting every month there.

This deli is remarkably good. You place your order at the counter and find a seat, though tables…read moreare limited and the place is quite busy. Each meal includes a choice of side; I selected the Reuben with potato salad, and both were excellent. The staff are exceptionally kind, offering to clean tables between customers and providing free refills.

The service was amazing, and the food was even better! As a Philly native missing home, I truly…read moreappreciate this place. The atmosphere, food, and hospitality made the entire experience so enjoyable. I spoke with the owner about the broccoli rabe, and he was kind enough to bring me a taste. It was delicious! I'll definitely be returning--and next time, I'm adding the broccoli rabe to my sandwich. Highly recommend!

Who wouldn't like an authentic Italian market with homemade Italian favorites?…read more The moment you walk through the door, your senses are on overload from the sites and smells of meats, cheeses and the aroma of garlic that make you want to taste everything you see. The gentlemen working there are so handsome and helpful. They were eager to assist and the service is top notch. They get you in and out quickly, without sacrificing quality. Dats what I'm talkin about! Their artichokes look so good. I can't stop thinking about them and am kicking myself in the pants for not getting some. Oh well, I guess that means I'll be forced to go back and get some. Ha! What I did get was the Italian Stallion sub and the Meatball Parm sub. First. Let's talk about the bread. FRESH and slightly crunchy on the outside, with the perfect amount of chewy, and pillowy yet dense on the inside. The BEST bread on a sub that I've found in NC. The Marinara on the sub is authentic Italian marinara with just the right amount of cheese, but those MEATBALLS...I've never had a meatball quite like theirs and they are homemade, delicious with the perfect seasonings. Yum! The Italian Stallion. Absolutely the BEST sandwich I think I've ever eaten. They don't skimp on the meat that's for sure and its QUALITY cold cuts all the way. And the best thing about getting food from here? Their prices. They have kept their prices on the lean side while still keeping their sandwiches fat. Love love love! So what ya gonna do about it? Go back for more! That's what! This is a 100% YES and I will be recommending to everyone.

cute is nice in a coffee shop and for puppies as well but mainly what I want in a coffee shop is…read morecoffee. black coffee. good black coffee; no sweetener, no flavorizer, no healthful additives... and then I want that coffee in me - so maybe a couple ices to bring it down to a more drinkable temperature (so light black coffee?) nothing wrong with cute in addition to, but not in lieu of good coffee. came in after an otherwise underwhelming trip to northern Carolina with little hope of finding decent coffee. got in as the drizzle turned back to rain and asked for a fill-up of black drip please. got my coffee, got the WiFi, got a seat, gotta start making better decisions... the cloud cover lifted as I sat sipping my coffee, drafting reviews, and cropping pics. maybe a half-dozen people came and went and the barista had familiar exchanges with each in turn which is way more important than cute décor. got a topper on my coffee and I left a bit less weary than I arrived, which is also better than cute décor.

Not bad. Been wanting to try this place out for maybe about 6 months or so…read more It is very small. Wasn't too big on that. I don't believe my friend and I were greeted when we walked in. Only 1 table and 2 chairs...and then 2 or 3 solo chairs right near the front door that ppl were sitting in. Positive was that our drinks were made perfectly without any modifications or adjustments needed. Not too sweet. Perfect amount of sweetness. The third star given is based on this solely. Oh and they randomly sell ice cream! I doubt I'd return though....
