Not a coffee person at all, so you can take what I say as a grain of salt, but I really like d the honey cinnamon cappuccino I had here last week. I don't usually try such interesting coffee combinations and I really enjoyed it. The place is very small, with limited seating, but friendly staff, good lighting, and a convenient location for NYU students and Greenwich village folk. Prices were standard.
Great vibe at this small coffee shop on University Pl and 10th St in the village. Collette made me a mean and great double espresso. Just $2.50!! Really great double espresso!!! So happy I stopped while driving up north on University Place!!
Tiny place in a super cute part of Greenwich Village. I've never been to this particular location before (let alone University Place!), but they are a partner of the cups app so I decided to stop by. I wanted to try something new rather than the ol' latte, so I decided to order the Sarahbella, even though the Madmancino looked equally appealing. It's pretty much a spruced up latte with honey and cinnamon!
They squeeze quite a bit of seating in here for such a tiny place, which means that it isn't necessarily comfortable and probably not somewhere you'd want to meet up with friends for an afternoon.
PS. They do have free wifi which is a plus, just ask the baristas for the password!
PPS. There's a plaque on the door that says NO PETS, but they are very dog friendly. They even have a fish bowl of dog treats inside near the door.
Madman Espresso is a fantastic little coffee shop, and I highly recommend it for anyone that needs their coffee fix. They have a great rewards system, where you can earn a free drink, and if you're a NYU student, you also get a nice discount.
The drinks are priced pretty fairly for a New York coffee shop, and their specialty drinks are especially delicious. The baristas are also super friendly and welcoming. The store itself is a little cramped, so it can result in some uncomfortable situations squeezing through people to order, but it isn't a huge problem.
Madman has become one of my go-to places for a quick caffeine boost; shame it didn't come until my junior year.
Love this little coffee shop! Intimate and charming, great coffee – what else is there to say.. Who needs that star place!
Hearing baristas asking a mother of a wailing infant to leave the premises and laughing at her while she leaves- not the kind of place I want to go to.
Stopped in for a iced glass of caffeine. The place is decorated with Steve Martin-esque one liners that first sound deep, then banal, and then you realize you've been had. ("Love is that thing where you are one side and he is on the other side and people see that you're in love.") I considered something that was essentially a giant, cold glass of sweetened espresso, then decided I wanted to sleep this week and opted for a cold brew. The barista was nice and the service was quick. The cold brew was a little weak, but it was smooth and fresh-tasting. I'd certainly check it out again if I had the occasion.

Everything about this place is hilarious. The signage just makes you happy. I had a cold brew from the Cups App. The classic plastic cup housed some decent coffee. The ice was imitation cold draft. The service was friendly. All in all a very good experience.
