*Update
I have been consistently pleased with the coffee here as well as service. Best place for coffee in the area.
The Mad Bean is a quaint, artzy little cafe on Eglington Ave W. This place makes for a nice alternative to the nearby chain coffee joints. Warm wood and red brick tones serve as the background not only to cappuccino sipping but also to numerous pieces of artwork by local artists. Soothing music plays gently in the background enticing you to stay awhile. The prices are reasonable and the espresso not bad (Reunion Island coffee is good, I've sampled better, it is organic and Fair Trade to it's credit).
In addition to coffee and tea Mad Bean also serves up some tasty cupcakes and muffins a la Circles & Squares Bakery. Not much else I can say about this place, it's a cozy little cafe that would be worth the visit if you are in the area and in need of coffee and/or pastry.
