What recent reviews say

Most who visit stick with Mad Coffee for its specialty espresso, hand-brew offerings, and house-made cakes, especially the chiffon and cheesecake. The two-level space draws study groups and casual diners alike, with chargers, natural light, and a calm vibe that rewards a longer stay.

However, the 7pm closing time creates friction: a handful of reviewers felt rushed or unwelcome when arriving near close. Staff attitude has slipped on bad days, though most encounters are warm and knowledgeable. Desserts and coffee shine; mains are not served, and a few items lean pricey.

Praised for
  • specialty coffee and espresso drinks
  • chiffon cakes and cheesecakes
  • matcha and seasonal beverages
  • cozy workspace with chargers and natural light
  • friendly and attentive staff (frequent)
Watch-outs
  • staff attitude near closing time
  • rushed experience when seated after hours
  • inconsistent staff quality and turnover
  • some items overpriced

Best for: Remote workers, coffee enthusiasts, and cake lovers seeking a calm afternoon or study retreat.
Think twice if: Arriving close to 7pm closing; staff inconsistency on busy days; no savoury mains if you're hungry.
