Cozy coffee shop that serves a nice cup of latte and a hazelnut croissant!The staff are very nice and friendly!

Great place for a coffee and a taste vegan or traditional pastry. Nice ambiance Prices according to Manhatan non chains coffee shops…. There is no restrooms if are you planning to work there…. It’s not the place to do it….

Amazing coffee and friendly baristas. A must try.

Great experience on 35th st. Stop in multiple times a week. Espresso was good and strong. Please note it is an acquired taste and varies from person to person.

My friends and I all got different coffee drinks. All of them were VERY watered down. We all had to throw it out immediately. I do not recommend.

Sad to write this review. Madman on 35th has been my go to when visiting NYC. Always has been excellent. Today, sadly that was not the case. Was served a horrible flat white by a barista who didn’t seem to give a care at all. Was undrinkable, will have to look elsewhere. Hope they can fix standards and get back to what they were

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. 😎

The espresso was a well balanced extraction. Great espresso should be a powerful shot without being overwhelming.Beverages are served in glass cups; thats always fun change of pace from other places.The barista made the cappuccino with creative latte art. Such a small detail really elevates the coffee experience.

Friendly service, cool vibes, mediocre pastries, but with subpar coffee and noisy settings. Ham and cheese croissant has good aroma but with a refrigerated cold center. Its coffee tastes very watered down. Espresso tastes very diluted and weak, probably was made of regular beans instead of espresso beans. Regular coffee is also surprisingly diluted. Voice in store is bouncing around the hard surfaces too much for my ears. Not a comfortable cafe to sit in.

Support your local coffee shops!! This place is good and consistent. I like going during midday when not busy. Unexpected find as I happened to walked by.

One of the best coffee places in NY, where it’s often hard to find a decent coffee shop.Great variety of coffee choices - you must try the oat milk if you prefer milk alternatives

The cortado was dangerously perfect ... I feel like I could have drank three! && I also love this places’ high ceilings and decorations. It doesn’t have too many tables, but it’s perfectly comfortable when you get one.

Super coffee shop great lattes fine locationnice people

Smooth drip coffee. Not crowded on Sunday morning. Quiet enough for a conversation. Polite barista.

Great coffee quality.

Great place definitely happy with my time there. Delicious latte and good donut with amazing service and a cozy, welcoming interior.

As an Australian travelling the US, Id been amazed by a thousand things already, but consistently disappointed by the coffee. It was never as good as home.As I explored New York City, I stopped in the first coffee shop convenient to me, and order a basic iced coffee.Despite my patriotic Aussie coffee sense, I couldnt stop myself naming it the best coffee Ive ever had.Its been months now, and I only visited once, so while I cant say a lot to the shop and staff in general, that one coffee that day was the best Ive ever had in my life.

My zucchini bread was stale & the quiche was literally frozen in the center.

Eureka coffee served in the ideal format where the coffee temperature is actually Hot!I drank One cup which contributed to more than 2 hours of work accomplished on-site in the window seat. My paperwork thats been waiting for my attention with no energy deficit. No yawning. Like I said Eureka.Ill be back.PS remember to supplement your coffee intake with a long drink of agua.Also 4 stars because post premium price point for good coffee Y no option for refills???

Stopped in with my family for coffee and cocoa. Everything was delicious and loved the friendly staff.

Neat find while waiting for someone to arrive at Penn Station.

Such an incredible place! The barista was soooo friendly and polite! So happy we walked the extra blocks to get here! Will be returning! Thank you!!

Nice place to stop for a latte and croissant

Love this spot, great music to start my day! Can get kind of busy in the morning, but worth it!

Very nice coffee place. Wonderful service; the people behind the counter are awesome. I got an iced matcha latte and I wouldnt recommend that, but my coworker loves their coffee and Im definitely coming back to try their other drinks. They had a small but good selection of teas.

Good latte, just a bit on the pricey side for the sizes. Good options and service.

Great coffee. They have macadamia milk. If youre milk free, try that in a latte. Its the closest thing to milk in taste and consistency (creamy!) and Ive tried literally everything

Delicious mocha latte and Caramisa (caramel and sea salt flavored) latte. They did latte art and it looked nice as well as the flavor. The almond croissant was amazing. They have pour-over coffee also but I havent tried it yet.

Great spot, excellent coffee, matches up with the best in town. Love that lady who makes the coffee in the back left. The best part about this place is that they give you a free coffee for every SIX you get, which beats every other place in the city hands down for coffee loyalty perks. The space is never too packed and has a cool coffee shop vibe.

Im not a coffee connoisseur but this place has some damn good coffee.

Great cold brew coffee. Friendly service. Price is decent as well.

Super-good cappuccino! Vegan zucchini bread was also tasty (no Im not vegan). Happy with the music today (Modest Mouse, Radiohead, and more). Im not often in the neighborhood, but when I am, Ill be visiting again.

The Staff Is Great!!!! They have a fast flow, so the wait is never long. From coffee to macchiato, the flavors are great. The location feels cozy too

Good coffee. Friendly staff. Quick service. Cool ambiance. Mix of local workers passing through, and people taking meetings.

Very friendly service. Delicious hot chocolate. Cute designs.

Nice, fun looking place, with good seating and a decent cup of coffee. Quiet enough for a conversation, lively enough to not feel like a library.

The best part of my day...a perfect latte everytime..and i search. Plus a warm and friendly group that keeps everyone happy even when the line is long. Always worth the wait. I wish there was one on the upper west side!

The best espresso in the city! Super friendly staff, quick service & lots of seating. Great for passing some time.

Came here after a meeting. Nice little spot, with quick service. From the outside I could smell the coffee and it got me excited. Got my usually espresso and based on the color and smell alone I could tell is was going to be just okay. And it was confirmed once I tasted it.An okay double shot of espresso at a decent price of $2.50. Nothing to rave about, but still leaps and bounds over Starbucks.

Great Vegan Bannana bread and fantastic coffee. Great wee find!

Nice staff, good pastry selection, TERRIBLE drip coffee that tastes like plastic. Espresso is probably safer.EDIT response to owners response: I actually did go in and complain, got a new coffee that still tasted burnt. Seems like some other reviews have similar issues with your beans. Many suppliers have inconsistent roasts, you might need a little more quality control built into your procedures. Signed, a seasoned barista with high coffee standards.

Lots of tables and chairs for the size of the place. Great place to grab coffee for networking. Not too loud, not too quiet!

This was, hands down, the best cafe mocha I have ever had!If you love coffee and you havent been here, get here!I would stand in line if it was summer and the heat was on, lior.

Really nice place. Great coffee, great croissants. Fun vibe and music that would still allow you to read a book or be a third office

I always look forward with my coworkers to my 5:30 PM latte @ this beautiful cafe and we always received a great service .

One of midtowns best spots for an espresso shot.

Great soy lattè, quiet music, quick service. Not. Much else to ask for. Cheaper than I expected, as well.

Great coffee, if youre in the Penn Station area and looking for some Java this is a great option.

Great morning stop when Im in town.

Depends on barista. Had one good coffee one day. Then for the next three days had terrible coffee. Croissants are stale and large. Not a place I’d rush back to.(Added in response, as Google Reviews doesnt have threaded comments: thank you for the response, Madman Espresso. Appreciated, and thats always a commendable thing from a brand. I think the croissants are kept in a way that makes them stale? Not sure, but they sure feel that way at around 3pm. Perhaps option of heating them may be a solution. As for the barista, I wonder if the beans or milk are the issue -- which a barista cannot fix. Will try again and let you know, as I stay at one of the many hotels around.)

Great FOR ON THE GO!! Coffee.very good not much room

Always top shelf espresso and tasty treats with a better selection than most small coffee shops, including quiche like dishes. Free WiFi but minimal seating.

Best coffee shop in NYC. Real small business, not some giant company that is only worries about profits. Awesome place.

Very nice coffee shop. Excellent espresso, reasonable but not impressive pastries. Not crowded and chill.

Its amazing here. You can good Work on a big table..

Much better than what I expected! Skip the lines for places on the other side of the street and come straight here for quality breakfast and swift service.

Really good coffe and great service! I liked here!

Probably the best espresso Ive had in NYC

Hidden gem. Ignore the scaffolds outside. Great coffee and pastries, very nice staff who know how to make espresso!

Ah-mazing place! Every time i go there i am greeted by wonderful staff that serves the freshest and most robust coffee imaginable. Ive mentioned several times that Dunkin just isnt cutting it anymore after a nice cup of Madmen Espresso.Very welcoming. Great place to sit down and unwind.

Several great options, amazing coffee and friendly staff!

Rare to find a very quiet place in middle of Manhattan. They have good coffee also.

Excellent atmosphere, great coffee, best staff. Got work done easily with no interruptions.

Nice atmosphere and good hot chocolate

Pretty quick service and decent coffee. The cold brew is very strong.

A good place to visit with your family

This place has one of the best Chai lattes Ive ever had!

Seriously surprised this is their second review! Top notch, definitely in line with the others in the Coffee Elite World (New York Chapter), i.e. La Colombe, Ground, Blue Bottle. Remarkable croissants too, with equally cheerful staff. Could go on about the lofty unique window bar seats that makes you feel like a model, or the cozy communal table.

Coffee is so good and the almond croissants are the best I’ve ever had! 🥐☕️🙌

Typical NYC coffee, decent cupDisinterested barrista

Great Mocha latte. No bathroom is a challenge.

This place is awesome. Great staff, great coffee and pastry.

Love the University Place location--excellent lattes and friendly people. The Italian love of life feeling creates a charming vibe.

Love the Almond Croissants! Coffee is good too!

Excellent coffee. Recommend the Madmanchino

I ordered a Chai Latte and a Machiatto. I thought it was decent after adding 7 packets of sugar. It was not smooth coffee it was forceful.

Warm welcome and great coffee with soulful sounds

Found top notch coffee in NY. They even have flat white for Aussies. The macchiato was spectacular.

Lovely staff and great coffee!!

Best Espresso so far in mitdtownChilled location, no hustle

Good espresso and cappuccino. Secret spot. Not busy

Smallish, local coffee shop. Good coffee and decent seating space.

Excellent coffee served by an employee that seemed to take real care. I was the only customer at 1145 on a Saturday, so I hope they are busier on other days or I fear they wont be around for long.

Expect kindness, hospitality, and good banter. Also, great espresso.

They ran out of ice on a hot day. Disappointed with the hot cocoa. Pastries were awesome.

Was a bit long wait. Coffee was ok.

Great coffee done with simplicity. Reminds me of my favorite coffee in Portland.

Super weak and diluted drip coffee. There are better coffee shops elsewhere in the neighborhood.

Nice place, but totally overroasted, burnt beans producing bitter taste. No single origin lighter roasts unfortunately.

The perfect small calm and caffinated hideaway in the middle of Manhattan!

Some of the best coffee in NYC. Well worth the trip.

Lousy service, lady the counter was more interested in random babble with another customer that had already ordered than servicing other customers. Cappuccino was mediocre. If its between Starbucks and this place sure go here, if you have other options go there.

Very good coffee, quick service.

Great espresso place, Dough donuts, soy milk! Generally quiet and fast.

Cute place, too bad its freezing cold because of the AC at full throttle.

One of the best coffee places in the area

Very acceptable coffee for an Australians in NYC

Tasty raisens croissants, great capuchino and the best friendliest service in NY.

5 because they are friendly and could use the business. Probably really a solid 4, which is great, given the impoverished coffee in the area ( or too busy snooty places ).

Great coffee, nice quick breakfast options, friendly staff.
