Madis Coffee Roasters, which opened in January 2023, is one of my new go-to spots! Their pour-over coffees are not only tasty but mesmerizing to watch. I love their Honduran blend, as it has delicious notes of chocolate and hazelnut. All their espresso drinks are crafted with such care, creating a smooth body in the espresso shots. They have a variety of syrups you can add, such as lavender, pumpkin spice, gingerbread, and strawberry. Madis’s menu also offers signature fun beverages, such as their Biscolatte and Cinnamon Honey Spiced Latte! I have tried both, and they hit the spot if you are craving something sweet. It is also a cute café with spots to work or study and an outside patio.
