A friend introduced me to Madhouse Coffee in February and I love it. Great vibe, comfortable seating and very good coffee. I'm all about coffee in a ceramic mug and while I'm usually a purist sometimes I like to mix it up and add a bit of flavored coffee in with my bold black coffee. While I admit I also frequent chains that are walking or running distance from my home, the independent Madhouse - located on Desert Inn and Durango in Vons shopping center - certainly wins rave reviews from me as a spot to meet up with a friend, colleague or client. I believe this was formerly an It's A Grind? While I didn't indulge - the pastries looked fabulous.
