Madman Espresso

Chill little coffee spot offering excellent coffee and tasty breakfast items. On the smaller side but they have tables that accommodate around 20 people or so. Can be a little crowded but I generally look at that as a good sign. A little expensive but then again this is NYC. Medium latte came to 5.19. But it was a really good latte.

Such a cool cafe with great coffee! I got a Caffe latte ( M- 6) and it was very good. I asked to use a mug ( I don't like hot coffee in a paper cup ) and they used a clear cup and it's pretty! ( glass or plastic? I am not sure lol ) Their pastries looked amazing. They have gluten-free & vegan options which are amazing!

The best coffee I've ever had, the service Martina gave me was excellent, she made some very wise recommendations for my order, definitely an excellent place.

One of the best coffee shops that most people, if you aren't wandering the middle blocks of the Garment District, may not have heard of. The handsome and hip barista truly owns his space making many different kinds of coffee drinks, while stacks of fresh roasted beans look down on him from the shelves above. It's a strong cup, definitely provides the flavor jolt most NYC coffee drinkers crave. I always try a new bake here as well. This time I tried the chocolate banana mini bread loaf, which was fresh and the darker chocolate was a great accompaniment with the strong pour over coffee. This is one coffee shop that is worth getting off the beaten path to find.

Love this vibe, well located, excellent service and excellent double espresso. I wouldn’t say this is the place to bring your laptop and set up shop to work, but it is absolutely the place to escape the city and gather around a table and chat up a storm with your office romance, most recent bromance, collective gaggle of venters and complaining circle, even a stranger you meet in yo way in the door.

Madman Cafe is amazing! Great coffee and super friendly staff especially Manuela. She’s so kind and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back!

It's important to have places like this tucked in the nooks and crannies of Midtown Manhattan. A place with enough seating to have your own space, high ceilings to make the small space feel bigger, and a calm atmosphere to take away from the frantic, quite frankly manic, energy of midtown. Oh and a place that SLANGS great espresso. Madman has become me and my big homies goto spot to grab a coffee. I love Culture Espresso as much as the next person, but that place can get to be a zoo at prime coffee hours. We came here yesterday, and I was initially shocked as he pulled up with short hair and normally his flow is crraaaaazzyyyyyyyy. After asking him why he cut it and what inspired it, I was like damn should I cut mine too? After gathering my bearings from haircut-gate, I copped my patented hot americano with a cup of ice on the side (vet move) and the big homie got a latte... or maybe it was a cappuccino it's really stripping my mind rn damn... I said "stripping my mind" but obviously meant "slipping my mind" but I'm currently listening to that RHCP song "Strip My Mind" ahahaha my b. I was gonna edit that out but just thought y’all should know that. I've attached a pic of the lattuccino in question. It had that beautiful little flower-like design on it... honestly how do baristas do that? That is pure art. How hard is that? I kinda want someone to teach me that just to see how tough it is so I have a greater appreciation for it. I never get milk based coffee because it upsets my tummy (my immune system is iron though I promise), but when someone does and it has that little art I'm always blown away. Little details can make the biggest difference sometimes. Anyways, on the way out there is a big sign above the door that says "Life is Beautiful." I couldn't agree more Madman, I couldn't agree more. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

The Sarabella coffee was soooo good. Service was amazing. They gave us time to look without rushing us and I love that the simple syrup is out so you can add sweetener to your preference.
