👍👍 Awesome coffee spot! Great latte and oat milk cappuccino. Chill vibes - tables made from Mediterranean chess boards, hanging plants and a window into the motorcycle repair shop next door. Pastries are light and tasty, including baklava. People often mention coffee, latte, pastries, shop, delicious,

    Really nice vibe. Built-in checkers on the tables. Some people working on laptops, some people just hanging out, and everyone peacefully coexisting. Mellow and good background music. Barista is super sweet- first time I came in she made me a custom chamomile vanilla latte (recommend!) based on my mood 💫 and this time I got the blood orange hibiscus ice tea, delish.

    Coolest cafe in America. If you're in Boston you need to go out of your way to check this place out. Amazing coffee and pastry. You can also check out some really cool vintage motorcycles. Located at 24 bluehill Ave in Boston. Also easy parking. Check this spot out!

    Very happy to have a place like this in Boston. Great place for coffee, pastries and motorcycle watching! Being able to look into the garage to see all the bikes being worked on while having a coffee in a beautiful coffee shop is truly a one-of-a-kind experience.

    Motorbikes, coffee and food... This is a perfect example for a template for when a hobby turns into a business. House brewed coffee is strong and delicious. Lebanese handmade pies and pastries are tasty, flaky and light. They are Halal with very flavorful ingredients. Stop in have a chat with staff, over a great cup of Joe and check out the vintage bikes, shop and apparel.

    We love MadHouse so much that we actually got married here! ♥️ This cool café & motorcycle-restoration garage combo is a total vibe, both for your everyday cup of joe, and also for all of your cozy, intimate event needs. J. Shia, the owner, is the most humble & accommodating host who went out of her way to make sure this day was incredibly special for us. The truth is though, with a space as unique as MadHouse café, she doesn’t have to try very hard because the aesthetic speaks for itself, as do all of the delicious drinks that the awesome barista, Bhavna, creates! The snacks & pastries are also a heavenly treat, and it helps that their venue is dog-friendly so that we could set-up shop, admire all of their very cool motorcycles, and have a beautifully intimate Nikah ceremony with all of our closest friends & loved ones. By the end of it all, the MadHouse crew felt like they were a part of our family and we are so grateful to them for hosting us on our special day. Huge shout out to Madhouse! 🙌 Definitely give them a visit; I promise you won’t regret it!

    A fantastic find with amazing lattes and great pastries! Stopped by to do some work on the weekend and tried the vanilla latte, iced chai, and blueberry muffin — everything was delicious, especially the muffin. Vibes and music are great to get some work done with plenty of outlets up front and fast wifi. Definitely come out to support a fantastic and friendly local business!

    Beautiful cafe with very kind and friendly barista. They are extremely nice: they offered us a 'baklava' for free which was delicious! Also, they were very nice to my service dog, who even got a treat! The atmosphere is relaxing. The pastries are tasty and my cappuccino was excellent! I strongly recommend this place!!

    Best little find!! We had a dirty chai with “extra” chai, it was the best I’ve ever had. Good coffee takes time of you want it special ordered. The space was very chill and the barista was very knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you!

    Awesome hipster coffeeshop, still underground, beautifully designed along a Dominican-Lebanese theme, with windows on the motorcycle repair shop behind. If you love vinyage motorcycles or Sappho, you'll come back again and again I promise.

    Chill coffee shop which serves as a great waiting room if you’re waiting on your bike getting an oil change next door. Enjoyed the tunes and a good latte. Will have to go back and try some of the pastries.

    A charming, cozy cafe near Nubian Square. I was lucky enough to go when it was empty. The decor in the back is beautiful and would make for a relaxing study or date spot. The worker was kind enough to give me recommendations about the different pastries, letting me know which ones were too sweet. I ended up getting Abi's Famous Baklava, which came in a set of three, and the blueberry scone. The baklava was delicious and is what I would come back for. Both the baklava and scone were the perfect amount of sweetness and flakiness, which paired well with the sweet tahini latte. Contrary to the name, though, the latte actually wasn't sweet and tasted like a normal hot coffee. The worker also thoughtfully left the lid off so that I could take a picture of the latte art. I'm on the hunt for the best baklava in Boston, and Madhouse Cafe is definitely up there at the moment!

    Best café in Boston and it’s not even close. World-class aesthetics, community driven, the café as a platform for artists and collaboration. High quality cuisine and a coffee program that rivals Tatte or Render or Thinking Cup. Treat yoself don’t cheat yoself.

    Madhouse Cafe is a vibe! One of the coolest, most welcoming spots the inner city has to offer. I stopped by Madhouse Cafe to capture footage for a project I was working on and fell in love. I had great conversation with the barista and the guys working at its adjacent business, Madhouse Motors, were equally welcoming - even the patrons presented a warm sense of community. My hibiscus hot tea and perfectly toasted blueberry muffin topped off my experience.
