Awesome coffee shop with a great selection of yummy treats, including veggie and vegan options! The employees are super nice, orders are always accurate, service is always quick, and they have a drive thru! They are conveniently located on Madison rd, their mailing address is Kenwood rd but you can access directly from Madison.

Always great to support local businesses, even if it does cost a little more. This coffee shop in Madisonville has a catchy name and an eclectic vibe to match. Stopped in for lunch and the iced latte was tasty as was the ham and cheese sandwich on sourdough. The only problem was that the bun was little more than a slider size. I sat outside because it was a beautiful day but the view wasn't the best. My guess is most use the drive thru service.

Absolutely adorable with such a great selection of drinks. As someone with celiac I loved seeing multiple gluten free baked goods. (Even treats for my pup). Beautiful handmade crafts for sale AND a drive thru. Staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, drink was delicious and GF pumpkin bread didn't make it far from leaving the parking lot. I will definitely be coming back!!!

Been coming here for 7 years and well keep coming back. Great coffee, fresh in house roasted beans (my only place I buy coffee to make at home), fresh bagels and many more. Love grabbing a bagel egg and cheese any time I'm nearby. Highly recommend.

So don’t go thru the drive through expecting it to be efficient. It’s more like an order window. They make their own bagels. They source all of their ingredients, including protein. This place is something to cherish. Oh, and they have legit wifi, which, of course, is free and they don’t limit.

I was happily surprised by Mad Llama. I passed it many times on my day-to-day trips and always wanted to stop in. My girlfriend and I stopped by yesterday and it was great! It’s a small shop with limited but cute indoor/outdoor seating. There are lots of plants on the inside. The buckeye latte was fantastic and my girlfriend’s plain oat milk latte was also good! Very smooth with no harsh burnt taste. I got the bacon breakfast burrito which appeared to have egg, bacon, potato, peppers, onions, and tomato. They also have a veggie option. Parking is easy with a lot right next to the building. I would highly recommend stopping by!

Tiny but mighty. I had a White Alpaca and a chocolate cheesecake muffin and my son had milk and a giant chocolate chip cookie. We sat in and enjoyed the decor and the view of a beautiful mural across the street. The very friendly staff suggested and made a great coffee!
