Crema's Take
“Madman's exceptional pastries and house-made baked goods—think banana chocolate chip bread and butter croissants that actually justify the hype—are reason enough to swing by, especially paired with their dialed-in espresso drinks like the oat milk maple latte. The West Village spot draws a steady crowd, so expect a quick transaction at the counter, but if you snag a table in their outdoor seating area or take your coffee to nearby park, you'll find it's the perfect casual meetup spot for breakfast or an afternoon break. Fair warning: they can run out of items during peak hours, so arrive early if you have your heart set on something specific.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

This place is busy and crowded. The staff was very friendly and the oat milk maple latte was amazing. I would come here again. There's no seating but the park is nearby with plenty of seating to go around.
I usually don’t leave reviews unless something really stands out, but I was quite disappointed with the almond croissant here. I visited on a weekday afternoon, and unfortunately, both the outside and inside were very dry—it was tough to chew and reminded me of animal feed. My…
Cute little coffee shop off Bleecker St in the West Village with a decent amount of options on the menu. Everyone was super nice and the service was quick. I love the outdoor seating area and there’s a small bar with barstools if you’re like to dine inside. It was a hot one so I…
