Reviews For Mad City Coffee

Came in for a little breakfast date with my spouse and child. The atmosphere is relaxed and cool. We saw many children and it felt like a family place. The staff was polite and answered any questions we had. The food and coffee came hot and fresh. We had the sausage egg and cheese on rye and wheat with cheddar. The portions we a bit bigger than I thought, but very good! The Cafe mocha was a bit on the dark chocolate side which is my favorite way to drink it and bring out the coffee notes. My spouse had the regular coffee and enjoyed his sipping experience. Our child was in their stroller. We had no problems parking her to eat and she loved the music playing. We can't wait to come back again!

I almost felt like a mystery shopper! What a gem of a place! I’d seen it while going to a Drs visit and was in the area again and mad it a point to go in. On this first visit, I was greeted and taken care of with such great service. I was pleasantly overwhelmed but I was given the run down of all things coffee, pastry’s, sandwiches and how and how often the coffee was flavored. Everything is sourced locally from bagels to pastry’s. Everyone was helpful and pleasant. I was able to test the coffee of the day and it was delicious! She then gave me a larger cup gratis! It was drinkable without cream and sugar. That’s how good it was. Reasonable prices too! I hate that I didn’t get the servers name but I will be back! So worth the trip.

This has been my favorite coffee spot for over a decade. Their sandwiches are consistently excellent, and they always have a great selection of muffins. It's a fantastic local business that I'm proud to support!

I live just across the road from this place an I absolutely love it! Quick service, very accommodating even when me and my boyfriend want to order a bunch of different things. The coffee is amazing and very flavorful with deep undertones. Many different brew flavors!! Theyre muffins are also so moist! When I cut my chocolate and CheeseCake muffin today, it was steaming from the inside. I love they're monthly specials as I love flavored coffees. Do recommend!!!

This is a very cute place and the people were wonderful! The food was absolutely amazing and the strawberry smoothie is to die for. I will be coming back again and recommending this place to all my friends.

I’ve been visiting this place a couple of times a year, and my girlfriend and I really enjoy it. She loves getting fresh brew coffee, while I usually opt for tea and a handmade Danish from the back. Today, the coffee was excellent and fresh, just like always. I’ve never had any issues here; the staff is always courteous and provides great service. If you’re ever in the area, be sure to check out Mad City Coffee!
