This place serves the midtown of TO. It is a bit of the main transit line so I guess it caters to the locals. Interior is nice cappuccino is not. Kudos for having one of the coolest password I have heard in a while. Portion is kinda small or maybe its because of the Indie Coffee passport (small size only) Espresso: Mild Crema': low Milk: OK Latte Art: N/A 2 stars for the drink as there is not much to admire here. 3 for the setup

Way up yonder in ye cold north, there aren't too many independent bean pushers. Everywhere one looks it's green signs and six dollar frappuccinos. Enter Mad Bean. A small and cheerful coffee shop with free wifi and bagels. The price point is low, the people quality is high, and the ambiance is what you'd expect if you were at a similar location south of Bloor. I had a green tea, but the man running the joint takes a lot of pride in their americanos, so if coffee is your thing be sure to try one. PEPPER TAKES PAUSE: They have really fun posters in the bathroom. You will stay in there too long.

MAD Bean gives off an Artsy vibe as it offers Fair Trade Organic Coffees & Teas, Desserts, Books, Art, Live Music, Free Wifi. Details available on their website. 3.5 *Star* I enjoyed my Reunion Island brand Cappuccino made on the Elektra Espresso Machine and was served with a Blue Cup as it poured outside feeling a bit Blue and the Jazz music plays in the background(speakers). I sat near the window with my back against it and that seat while looked comfy made me sank in a bit and I felt kind of short. On a nice day, they have some School style seating just outside with those one sided tables just enough to put your textbook on. Lots of outlets for those with Laptops as I notice even the staff here were using theirs in-between customers. Maybe the bench seating is the way to go? Or even that 1 single lounge sofa in the front corner.

The Mad Bean is a small charming coffee joint west of Eglinton. The warm atmosphere created by the super friendly staff and cozy artsy interior can put anyone at ease. I love their deep red brick walls, sparkling chandeliers, cool music playing in the background, interesting art up on the walls, and bookshelf with a variety of books. I find it interesting that this café sells books, jewellery, art and knitwear. They also have live music, events and free WiFi. Mad Bean has an extensive list of espresso drinks, coffees, tea, smoothies and cold drinks such as Italian sodas and more. They have flavored shots available that include sugar free options. For those who like almond or soy milk, it's free! Besides the beverages, they do have bagels, sandwiches and a variety of baked yummies. I always get the smoothies here, even in winter; their just that good! They are all super fruity, blended beautifully and healthy. My favorite has to be the berry smoothie, it just bursts with flavor. The americano's are strong and well-balanced and pairs perfectly with their baked goods. Overall, Mad Bean is a charming little artsy café with books, music, art, friendly people and good coffee!

The Mad Bean may not be; their sign boldly daring you to try the best Americano in Toronto is legitimate.
