The Mad Bean

Great spot to grab a coffee and relax. Be aware that they no longer serve food, so the menus and photos of food items are obsolete. They haven't been able to get them removed from their Google listing. Just great specialty coffees, teas, smoothies, and light snacks/desserts.

The Mad Bean offers a variety of good coffee selections and smoothies conveniently located downtown Madison. We ordered a shaken iced espresso and it was better than Starbucks! The service is quick and welcoming as well.

I have had both the iced mocha here and the white chocolate. The white chocolate was amazing. Better than the mocha. Nice vibe, decor.

Great fresh menu items made from scratch. Chef is friendly and loves preparing yummy eclectic food.

Lovely coffee shop. Good selection of coffees and ready-to-eat pastries. They also make good breakfast/lunch cooked food to order.

Visit today and ordered the chef salad. I only received lettuce, tomato, turkey and cucumbers. I ordered additional dressing and had to remind the staff I needed it. The menu stated the chef salad also included onions, cheese and ham. In addition to this I had to wait an additional 30 minutes for an iced coffee. Still didn’t get my extra dressing but after waiting 30 minutes for my coffee I just wanted to get out. The waitress took every single persons order (11 people) who came in after me BEFORE getting my coffee. My salad alone was $10 and it didn’t even include all the items stated on the menu. Im not sure that I will return after this visit.

We found this nice coffee shop while we were in town for NASCAR at Martinsville. I got the pumpkin pie latte and my GF got the white chocolate mocha. We both enjoyed our coffees and the price was also very reasonable. Would recommend Mad Bean to anyone who is in the area.

A wonderful selection of local artisan creations for sale including Local honey. Cozy coffee shop. I come for breakfast and lunch and sometimes just for a coffee. Love the environment and the food is so good.

Amazing coffee and food and also very reasonable prices!!

Went to mad bean today and it was packed ordered two drinks and a sandwich. I sat down in the corner and noticed that today there were only two ladies working the entire place. One young lady ( First day I might add) was making the drinks and a second young lady was making the food. These two ladies had the entire place running smoothly and we're so kind. I've been to mad bean before and always had a great experience but seeing these two ladies do the work of a full staff and making my drinks and food to perfection makes me appreciate the place even more. So to the review the food was fantastic and the drink was as well. I recommend them.
