What people say, in short
Many people recommend Madis Coffee Roasters, which has more than one cafe; the location shown here is the University City one, which one commenter loves. Several call it great: one says its coffee is on par with La Colombe, with Wi-Fi and comfortable seating, another praises the BEC croissant, and another likes the Curtis Building cafe. One says it is fast becoming a Philly classic. Caveats: one diner finds it pricey and busy and wishes it had couches, and one says the products do not hold up across so many locations.
