The Mad Bean

This place is amazing! So family friendly and welcoming. Comfy even if you dont have kids. So glad we randomly stopped as were driving thru, wish we had one near us!

Very cool coffee shop offering many different drink options. I also enjoyed a Brookie that was absolutely delicious. It was a delight to partake in a walking ghost tour which included this coffee shop, I would highly recommend it! My only wish was that they had postcards.

Had a lovely break at this coffee shop. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I stopped by because there were a lot of teas on the menu. The staff made a great recommendation and made a solid iced tea for me. I added a cherry Danish and hung out for a while. They are adding lunch back soon, but it wasn't available when I went. There is a variety of seating, a water feature, and some vintage/art items to browse. The door said WiFi but I didn't see a specific one for them or any outlets to plug in that were easily accessible, so you may want to reach out if you are planning on stopping in to work.

If you are ever traveling near Greensboro, NC, particularly in the little town of Madison, be sure to stop for a latte, an artisan handheld or a salad at the Mad Bean Cafe! The place oozes in charm and the creaky wooden floors add to the ambience. They have quite a collection of handmade crafts for sale by local crafters, fun play stations for little ones, and a piano should you feel the urge! The food was amazing—I ordered a chicken salad salad and the hubby had a chicken salad sandwich on artisan bread. Portions were excellent and the food was fresh and homemade. Service was fast and friendly! If you’ve been on the road for awhile and need a break, take a little side trip to the town of Madison and support this worthy local business.

I’m new to town and obsessed with coffee so obviously I had to check out the mad bean. This is such a cute shop! The service was great. The coffee was good. I’ll definitely be back to try more off the menu! If you’re nearby definitely make the stop! I ordered an iced white mocha with hazelnut. It wasn’t too sweet and had a good flavor. They have so many flavors to choose from and plenty of non coffee options as well.
