this place is no longer mad espresso, its has been bought by stella rossa, this is probably why ur cofffee was like ass, last time i was here i was talking to the owner,, why he sold it , one of the reasons is because campos coffee was trying to get rid of him apparently there trying to put there own espresso bar in the building next door which meant they had to get rid of him somehow to do this, because of territory exclusions, and he was also missing alot of stock from them that they wont replace they wouldnt service his coffee machine which was there agreement , to me it sounds like camp...

We recently visited Mad Espresso for an afternoon coffee, around 3pm. It's a little hole in the wall spot inside the 141 Queen St building, but there are a few tables available for people who wish to stay for a while.

Owner David was holding the fort on his own when we arrived. It was fairly busy, but I was impressed that David took the time to have a friendly chat with us. You certainly don't always...
Innocuous hole in the wall in Albert Lane. They use Campos beans, which isn't the free pass you'd expect with some cafes using it to make terrible coffee. But this place is a winner. Full earthy taste and consistent across the five or so times I've been there. I've struggled to find good coffee in the city on the weekend but this is the place I've been looking for. It's even open Sundays.

Typical Campos: bold, ambitious, acidic, and sickly sweet. For me, the blend always seems to clash, the beans just dont seem to work together. Strong flavours, but unfortuately, the only thing that remains is the overt sickly sweet lingering and drying aftertaste.
