Mad City Coffee

"I'm a specialty coffee roaster and I've also been a cafe manager for years. This coffee was beyond the pale... so much is sitting out in non vacuumed containers for months and months. I asked for a cortado and a drip coffee (one of their flavored ones). The older lady had no clue what I was asking for when I asked for drip coffee....I had to explain the process before they finally figured out what I was talking about. Both drinks were disgusting....I handed them back and left. I have traveled all over the world and I have never seen so much incompetence. They weren't busy and there were 4 people there on staff."

"I had high hopes because this place seems to be local, but unfortunately I left disappointed. They didn’t have an ingredient for the drink I originally wanted so I took a recommendation from the barista. I didn’t know espresso could be bland, but here we are. Half the fun of a coffee shop is the ambience and the first thing that came to mind was grimy which takes the shine off of whatever charm it had left. I’m also pretty sure keeping clear glass jars of whole coffee beans on a window sills accessible to customers is recipe for quality."

"Counter staff is very kind, welcoming and happy to answer any questions, no mater how nit-picky. Baked goods are made locally. Scones, muffin and biscotti are more caky and no amaretto. Several jewish desserts too. They also sell local artisan mugs and a few other items. Ask if you want a mug or plate for your items."

"I used to love this place, I would go way out of my way to visit. But recently the staff has been extremely unreceptive. Today when I was there, the person receiving my order just stared at me, didn't even bother to say hello, or welcome, or anything. Just had a glum look on her face. What is the point of having a business if you are not going to be nice to your customers? At this point in time, I am pretty sure I will never be back. Very sad, because I have been a fan of this coffee shop for years now."

"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!"
