I loved it here and now I'm just disappointed I didn't go sooner! This is a very thoughtfully designed cafe with a motorcycle shop Nextdoor. The cold brew was delicious and the fatayer was the best I've had in the boston area. The public parking lot across the street makes it easy to visit. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Big fan, I'll be back soon! read more

My order: Cappuccino with oat milk The review: If we're being honest, I don't like to give away my favorite hiding spots. Today I'll do it. I just tried Madhouse for the first time and I was quite impressed. The coffee aficionado knows good espresso is equal parts barista's skill and good beans. The espresso was amazing, and they use Broadsheet beans. The café is integrated into their motorcycle repair shop, which you can see into via the large windows in the back. You can even stop in and say hello! I must say, the cat is wonderful, even if it's not as good as their last one ;) All in all, I was not expecting the full immersive experience, and I'm immensely glad that I decided to try Madhouse Cafe. read more

I had no idea what to expect before coming here so I was very pleasantly surprised. The space is thoughtfully decorated with a number of tables located in both the front and back. There's wifi and a single restroom, and public parking nearby for those driving here. I got an iced sweet tahini latte, which I enjoyed. It was the perfect amount of sweetness. I also got the baklava which was pretty standard and did not disappoint. I wish I lived closer, but for now I'm happy to have finally tried Madhouse! read more

Great place, wonderful energy! Love the tahini latte & the adjacent motorcycle shop; artsy vibe and a great playlist. Check out the Halal market next door, 1 More Rep gym around the corner, the auto shops and local boutiques. You can't beat the vibe of Blue Hill Avenue. read more

I ordered two drinks and 2 beef kibbeh for delivery. The iced mocha latte (available size is 16 oz) and a hot drip coffee, available in 12 or 16 oz. The iced mocha was really nice, sweet. It's not for folks who want an unsweetened chocolate flavour. I enjoyed it! The hot drip coffee was also good, not too dark or light. I do wish that when providing the straw that the straw wasn't between the cup and the drink sleeve which smushes the straw. The beef kibbeh were pretty good. I understand they take effort to make and wish they weren't $4 each, even if it was $3.50 it would feel little better. I appreciate Madhouse for having tasty beverages and food items and being reasonably priced compared to some other small business cafés. I'd recommend trying Madhouse. read more

This is a very cool concept/place- It is connected to MadHouse motors the repair shop. Customers can see the repair shop through the windows and watch the work being done AND meet their new garage kitten (my favorite part). The shop itself is very cute and they have a huge merch wall with some quality choices. We both got lattes and loved them. I didn't try the food but they have Mediterranean options! read more

Madhouse Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Just found my new favorite coffee shop in the Boston area. Madhouse is a one-of-a-kind coffee spot overflowing with character and caffeine. This woman-owned business brings motorcycles, Middle Eastern flair, and coffee together in a way that you won't find anywhere else. The cafe is an expansion of an active motorcycle garage so you get to watch mechanics in action while you enjoy your coffee. But don't let the garage and motorcycles parked at the door fool you. Inside is a beautiful welcoming space. The decor is inspired by the owner's childhood backyard where she learned how to work on motorcycles. Seating is under beautiful hanging plants where you are surrounded by cozy Middle Eastern decor, beautiful bench pillows, and motorcycle paraphernalia. The owner apparently studied photography and is an award winning motorcycle designer so she has a bit of an eye. Oh the coffee is spot on as well. They have all the standard coffee drinks. Their signature Tahini latte just feels like a warm hug and has the perfect mix of creamy and sweet. The homemade Baklava is so good - flaky and decadent. Service was great. Shout out to Nicholas! Lots of outlets and strong wifi for anyone looking to get work done. Also bench seating allows for groups to fit comfortably. Only street parking but there is plenty of it. Well worth going out of your way to discover this very hidden gem! Must try! read more

Stopped in today for the first time. Casual, upbeat vibes. Fun and beautiful aesthetic. We ordered a small iced matcha, flavor was faint and earthy. It does come standard unsweetened. The small hot vanilla latte with cinnamon was well balanced with a delicious natural vanilla flavor. The small hot vanilla latte with oatmilk was delicious and well balanced. The small caramel hot latte was balanced with natural caramel flavor. All four beverages were delicious with beautiful presentation. Staff were kind and welcoming as well as patient. Definitely hope to purchase a crewneck sweatshirt in the future and would certainly return. read more

Madhouse Cafe is such a charming coffee spot in Boston that offers INCREDIBLY yummy coffee and vegan options in their food menu. The gentleman who waited on us was a native of the area and engaged in nice conversation about the area and even recommended Bar Harbor as a beautiful place to visit to view the fall foliage. Excellent service! I ordered a 16oz Americano with steamed oat-milk and pistachio syrup. He offered to make me something else if I did not like the drink. I thought that was service above and beyond! I loved the drink! My hubby ordered the Tahini Latte and was very satisfied too! This place has cool swag and plenty of relaxing places to hang out. An abundance of electrical outlets too! Toys for the kiddos and plentiful reading materials. We will go back there after our cruise! Keep up the good work! read more

I love the madhouse cafe. The drinks and food are very tasty, and the decor is amazing. I felt like I was sitting in a friends living room in Palestine or Lebanon. The cafe tables are made of Syrian mother of pearl chess game tables, the metallic calligraphy mural on the wall is beautiful and all the little details make it extremely cozy and fun. I really enjoy the music that they play and their hoodie with a logo is a must have. It's a great place to go with friends or to study alone. Don't forget the fact that the cafe is attached to a motor bike garage makes it so cool. read more

I came here because of the 4.9 stars review on yelp. Food is above average. Since this was 4.9 star so I came with high expectations. For the Crossisant, I will give a 3.3 out of 5! It's soft. Ur it's too much like a bun instead. I asked and they don't make this in house. But if I don't treat this as a Crossisant, it will be a solid 4/5 Service is wonderful! 5/5. Very nice and kind gentleman! For the ambiance, I have to give it a 2/5, I really like this is themed a motor fans owner and also a cafe lover. However, this is an attached to a motor shop and it has a very heavy smell of gasoline. But overall, I love everything about this idea and coffee and pastry quality! Good job read more

Very picky about my coffee, this is legit the best coffee in Boston. Thanks to the amazing baristas and good ambiance. Nice spot with a fire playlist. Try the tahini latte when you're there. Thank you guys. read more

Tahini latte, meat kebbeh, and baklava are delicious. The service was great; staff was very considerate of allergies. All items were packaged very well for a to-go order. Will return any time I'm in the area read more

Recently visited Madhouse, from the outside the name evoked images of the Mad Hatter's tea party and by extension Upstairs on the Square....remember that place? Walking in, Madhouse is nothing like Uots and sports two themes: motorcycles and coffee. The interior is inviting and aesthetically harmonious--very convenient for their adjacent motor cycle repair shop customers while they wait. There are many coffee options with their specialty being the tahini latte--sadly I'm not a coffee fan so did not try it, although it sounded interesting. There is also a smaller tea selection and Middle Eastern quick bites prepared at a sister location, with a friendly barista serving at the counter. If you like relaxing with a cup of coffee and/or are a motor cycle enthusiast, this place was designed for you. read more

Ordered online and picked up to find that half the order couldn't be done as they were out, and I couldn't get a refund. While everything tasted great, this was disappointing. We had the zatar, lahmajun, almond croissant, and raspberry Danish. I also had a chai tea with pistachio, which was great until it started to cool and then it was incredibly sweet. read more

Good coffee--they served Broadsheet when I was there. I haven't tried the baked goods yet but they look good. Friendly though inconsistent service. Everyone's really nice, though they got my order wrong one of the two times I was there, and didn't offer to fix it when I pointed it out. But I think that may have been more on account of genuine confusion than anything mean-spirited. The ambience is very cool--you can see back into the repair shop, and there's nice seating. Definitely a good option when you're in the neighborhood, and worth a trip for the unique ambience and good coffee. read more

The cafe is adjacent to madhouse motors. The Cafe is good and nicely decorated with Lebanese touches and comfortable seating. Along with the usual cafe items (scones, coffee rolls) there were also some Lebanese Fatyers. I'd never tried before but definitely recommend. The cafe looks out on the motorcycle shop and that is where the magic happens. J.Shia (owner) is an artist and craftsperson whose work has to be seen to be believed. If you have a love for vintage motorcycles, custom builds or just being around talented people doing impressive things I can't recommend this place highly enough. If you have the chance to get a tour by J - take her up on it. read more

This place is a vibe and great addition to the neighborhood. Staff is super friendly. I'm not into fancy coffee drinks, so I keep it rather simple. I've enjoyed the pastries, particularly the chocolate croissants, almond croissants, and berry scones; though their vendor use too much powdered sugar at times. They're also super nice to my dog Toby who'll occasionally get a treat from them. read more

Loved my first visit to this newer cafe in Dorchester! There's really nowhere quiet like it that I can think of in the Boston area. Not only is it unique due to being next to a motorcycle shop, the food and ambiance have some Mediterranean roots. I felt so bad that there was only one person working the register/behind the coffee bar, but they were so kind and worked to get all our orders in a timely manner. Can't wait to visit again soon! read more
