PHILADELPHIA, PA – Philadelphia’s specialty coffee scene got a significant boost with the opening of Madis Coffee Roasters’ second location in the heart of Old City. Following the success of their initial shop near Drexel University (opened in 2022), Madis is bringing its passion for high-quality coffee, unique blends, and an immersive experience to the historic Curtis building at 601 Walnut Street.
This new outpost features exceptional coffee and food and an on-site roastery, inviting customers into the craft behind their cups.
A Blend of History and Modernity:
Stepping into Madis Coffee Roasters’ Old City location offers a unique sensory experience. The design harmonizes modern industrial aesthetics with the historic grandeur of The Curtis building. Lush greenery, warm wood accents, and authentic red cargo doors (symbolizing the global journey of coffee beans) create an inviting, European-inspired café setting. The indoor/outdoor space provides ample opportunity for guests to gather, work, or savor a thoughtfully prepared beverage.
More Than Just Coffee:
While founded on a deep love for the “magical world of coffee,” Madis offers more than just a caffeine fix. The Old City location features an extensive menu catering to breakfast and lunch crowds:
- Breakfast Highlights: Options range from classic Egg & Cheese Sandwiches and Bagels with Cream Cheese to more substantial plates like Eggs in Purgatory, various Omelettes, Madis French Toast, and Grilled Cheese.
- Lunch Offerings: A wide selection of sandwiches (Smoked Ham, Roasted Turkey, Mediterranean Baguette, Salmon, Grilled Chicken, Roast Beef, Chickpea Salad, Tuna Melt), vibrant salads (Kale Caesar, Arugula Cherry Tomato, Madis Mixed Green, Beet), and flavorful bowls (Harissa Hot Honey Chicken, Korean Kale Crunch) are available.
The Roastery Experience:
A key feature distinguishing the Old City location is the glass-encased, on-site roastery. This allows guests to witness the intricate coffee roasting process firsthand, learn about bean sourcing, and deepen their appreciation for the craft. Knowledgeable baristas are also on hand to guide customers, whether they enjoy a drink in-house or purchase premium home-brewing equipment from the retail area.
