One of J's custom builds. Turbo that is not run off the motor, and so many beautifully made pieces it's a feast for the eyes.

Recently visited Madhouse, from the outside the name evoked images of the Mad Hatter's tea party and by extension Upstairs on the Square....remember that place? Walking in, Madhouse is nothing like Uots and sports two themes: motorcycles and coffee. The interior is inviting and aesthetically harmonious--very convenient for their adjacent motor cycle repair shop customers while they wait. There are many coffee options with their specialty being the tahini latte--sadly I'm not a coffee fan so did not try it, although it sounded interesting. There is also a smaller tea selection and Middle Eastern quick bites prepared at a sister location, with a friendly barista serving at the counter. If you like relaxing with a cup of coffee and/or are a motor cycle enthusiast, this place was designed for you.

I came here because of the 4.9 stars review on yelp. Food is above average. Since this was 4.9 star so I came with high expectations. For the Crossisant, I will give a 3.3 out of 5! It's soft. Ur it's too much like a bun instead. I asked and they don't make this in house. But if I don't treat this as a Crossisant, it will be a solid 4/5 Service is wonderful! 5/5. Very nice and kind gentleman! For the ambiance, I have to give it a 2/5, I really like this is themed a motor fans owner and also a cafe lover. However, this is an attached to a motor shop and it has a very heavy smell of gasoline. But overall, I love everything about this idea and coffee and pastry quality! Good job

Amazing coffee, tea, and snacks. The atmosphere is cool and laid back. The owner and the staff are super nice. They have a super cool backstory. They also have a motorcycle repair shop. And they support hiring local and using local suppliers.

Just found my new favorite coffee shop in the Boston area. Madhouse is a one-of-a-kind coffee spot overflowing with character and caffeine. This woman-owned business brings motorcycles, Middle Eastern flair, and coffee together in a way that you won't find anywhere else.The cafe is an expansion of an active motorcycle garage so you get to watch mechanics in action while you enjoy your coffee. But don't let the garage and motorcycles parked at the door fool you. Inside is a beautiful welcoming space. The decor is inspired by the owner's childhood backyard where she learned how to work on motorcycles. Seating is under beautiful hanging plants where you are surrounded by cozy Middle Eastern decor, beautiful bench pillows, and motorcycle paraphernalia. The owner apparently studied photography and is an award winning motorcycle designer so she has a bit of an eye.Oh the coffee is spot on as well. They have all the standard coffee drinks. Their signature Tahini latte just feels like a warm hug and has the perfect mix of creamy and sweet. The homemade Baklava is so good - flaky and decadent. Service was great. Shout out to Nicholas! Lots of outlets and strong wifi for anyone looking to get work done. Also bench seating allows for groups to fit comfortably. Only street parking but there is plenty of it. Well worth going out of your way to discover this very hidden gem! Must try!

Delicious lattes and hot coffee. I get the iced mocha latte and it's been very consistent. I have ordered a few times now. I do wish they had a bigger size available as the iced lattes seem to only come in 16 oz. The large for the hot coffee is 16oz. Ialso really like the beef kibbeh. I have only had this delivered but it seems like great service from the café side. I have passed by and it looks like street parking only (not 100% sure). I have seen a lot of Instagram posts and pictures that show a pretty interior of the café where you can even see mechanics in the next door auto repair shop working. Really cool! I'd definitely order again.

Ordered online and picked up to find that half the order couldn't be done as they were out, and I couldn't get a refund. While everything tasted great, this was disappointing. We had the zatar, lahmajun, almond croissant, and raspberry Danish. I also had a chai tea with pistachio, which was great until it started to cool and then it was incredibly sweet.

Madhouse Cafe is such a charming coffee spot in Boston that offers INCREDIBLY yummy coffee and vegan options in their food menu. The gentleman who waited on us was a native of the area and engaged in nice conversation about the area and even recommended Bar Harbor as a beautiful place to visit to view the fall foliage.Excellent service! I ordered a 16oz Americano with steamed oat-milk and pistachio syrup. He offered to make me something else if I did not like the drink. I thought that was service above and beyond!I loved the drink!My hubby ordered the Tahini Latte and was very satisfied too!This place has cool swag and plenty of relaxing places to hang out. An abundance of electrical outlets too! Toys for the kiddos and plentiful reading materials.We will go back there after our cruise!Keep up the good work!

Who would've thought such great coffee could be part of a motorcycle repair shop? A very comfortable spot to just read, visit with friends and enjoy some wonderful coffee.Very friendly and welcoming. We are coffee nuts and Madhouse Cafe is definitely worth the effort!
