My wife and I were wandering the neighborhood on a beautiful day off. I checked Yelp and found Madman Espresso. Glad I did! Staff behind the counter were very nice and helpful with a recommendation. I decided on the double espresso and my wife went with a cold brew. The espresso had great crema and the flavor was very smooth! My wife enjoyed the cold brew as well. On the way out, had a nice conversation with a gentleman that seemed to be the owner. Definitely a coffee shop with a good vibe! read more

Super cute coffee shop in the area of NYU and washington square park. The staff here are friendly. Yes, it is a small place but there is still a bit if room to sit at a table and enjoy your coffee. I got a specialty iced latte which had honey and cinnamon in it. There was a bit too much honey in it for my liking. This coffee shop was pretty packed when I went so it seems like it is a popular place. read more

Love this coffeeshop so much. Every time I'm in the area around NYU, I have to stop here and grab a cup of coffee. The coffee beans taste fresh and the temperature always comes out perfectly. I've never tried the flatbreads or pastries, but they always look delicious. There are a few seats inside, but I would say this is definitely a take out place and not a place to hang around to sit and chat. Service was expedited and quick. read more

First off: Dog friendly! They have this awesome "madman" niche going on inside and I loved it. When you walk in they have a few tables you can dine in and there are also sketch books and pencils, and a chess board! I ordered a Shakerato, just to try-- if you like iced shaken espressos go for it! My pup even took a nap while we stayed there for a bit just to relax and pass time. Would definitely come back to try their other menu items. They had some awesome things I wish I tried while I was there. read more

Drinks are pretty good, the coffee is standard for a higher-quality NYC coffee shop. They have a good selection of alternative milks. Today I overheard the staff saying they had a pistachio milk, which I've never heard of before. I've also had the matcha latte and chai latte which are good too. Food is OK from what I've tried. The staff is always friendly and very prompt in making the drinks, even if the store is crowded -- I've never had to wait more than 3 minutes for a drink. They have a punch card rewards program, as well as a 10% student discount with a school ID. The outdoor seating arrangement is fantastic. It truly provides a nice vibe and a warm atmosphere. Both the espresso and bakery Madman locations have it and they're both near this dog grooming place so you're always sure to spot a nice variety of dogs while sitting here. read more

I've had Ten Thousand Coffee on my to-go list for the LONGEST. I finally went for the first time…read moreand there were so many drinks I wanted to try so I ended up buying 3. 1. The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet.

Personally, I would have preferred more of the tiramisu flavor without the full tiramisu texture mixed into the drink. That said, it was an interesting concept and I'm glad I tried it. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another latte on a future visit.

I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so…read moreegregious that I honestly felt like I had to say something. I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.

My go-to is their Black Sesame Latte, which is usually rotated depending on the season. They also have a great Ube latte, also seasonal.

If you are on the socials, then no doubt you've seen this viral NYC coffee on tap spot. I love trying coffee spots so I knew I had to visit. I hopped on the train and got there around an hour after they opened and the line was only about 15 people long. They take your order while you are waiting in line (it's a to go spot so no seating), and things move quickly. I got the salted caramel with a croissant and it was smooth creamy but not heavy and not too sweet perfection...the chocolate almond croissant was great but quite small. On my second visit I decided on the bergamot honey latte--again it see very good...the bergamot is there but not over powering. This time I got the banana bread and it was superb! Take your coffee and treats to the park across the street with benches. You can people watch and enjoy your morning coffee!!

It was busy, so after paying, you get a cute ticket--hand it to the barista for the viral latte!

They don't rely on a laundry list of fancy toppings to hide behind; it's just the basics, executed flawlessly. I really appreciated that they keep it simple, giving you the choice of onion or no onion, letting the quality of the beef and the perfect sear speak for itself. Logistically, it's first-come, first-served seating where you're given a number. It wasn't too busy when I stopped by, so the process was seamless and quick. It's hard to imagine how they could make this any better without fundamentally changing what a smash burger is supposed to be. If you appreciate the classics done right, this is an absolute must-visit in NYC.

It was busy but not overcrowded, and we found a table outside. When you arrive, you order at the counter inside, receive a number, and then find a seat while your meal is prepared fresh. A server brings your food to your table once it is ready, it only took about 5-7 minutes for our food to arrive. I ordered the "All the Way" burger, their classic smash burger with mustard, diced onions, dill pickles, and cheese, along with fries and a gluten-free bun. The total came to about $17, including tax and tip. The burger was delicious. Smash burgers are my favorite, and this one was cooked perfectly with crispy edges while still moist. I also really appreciate that they offer a gluten-free bun. The burger and fries were a satisfying portion without feeling overly heavy. This is a casual spot, but it consistently delivers delicious food at a reasonable price. If you are looking for a classic smash burger in the neighborhood, I would recommend. I will certainly be back!

Pulled in by the charming name, I found myself ordering yet another shot of espresso, hoping for that perfect jolt to my senses. And oh, did it deliver! There's something about espresso in New York, bold, robust, with a kick that wakes you up to the world which is simply irresistible. It's these small, unexpected stops that often lead to the most memorable experiences, proving once again that sometimes, the name alone can be a sign of good things to come. This shot was no exception, adding a delightful note to my day. read more
