If you’ve lived in Las Vegas long enough, chances are you’ve driven past Madhouse Coffee and wondered what goes on inside that funky little spot. Open 21 hours and 365 days a year and never closing.
Madhouse is more than a coffee shop—it’s an experience that blends craft coffee with fast, friendly service and a playful personality you won’t find anywhere else.
Coffee, But Make It Craft
Madhouse serves up coffee from Intelligentsia beans—one of the most respected names in specialty coffee—and brews them on a La Marzocco espresso machine (coffee lovers know that’s the gold standard).
The result? Drinks that are smooth, bold, and balanced, without the long wait times you sometimes find at third-wave shops.
On our visit, we grabbed a vanilla latte to-go along with a New England blueberry muffin and a fresh almond croissant. The latte was perfectly balanced, rich without being overly sweet, and smooth all the way down.
The muffin had just the right amount of tartness from the blueberries, and the croissant was light, flaky, and filled with the nutty richness of almond paste—a perfect match for our vanilla latte.
Madhouse nails the basics but isn’t afraid to have fun, too. Their monthly drink specials rotate regularly, so there’s always something new to sip on.
Signature Drinks You’ll Dream About
If you’re looking for something more adventurous, Madhouse has a lineup of house favorites that locals rave about:
- Monkey Mocha – An ice-blended mocha with peanut butter, banana, and chocolate chips. A staple since 2006.
- Nutella White Chocolate Mocha – The bestseller, available hot, iced, or blended. Creamy, sweet, and pure indulgence.
- Mustachio – A pistachio and white chocolate creation that’s already a fan favorite.
- Red Velvet Mocha – Yes, it tastes exactly like the cake.
Every drink can be made with alternative milks—almond, oat, hemp, coconut, or soy—making it easy for anyone to customize their order.
Food for Every Mood
The food menu is just as creative as the drinks. From buttery croissants to muffins, tiramisu, and even lavender chia seed pudding, there’s no shortage of treats.
For something heartier, Madhouse has a dedicated vegan menu that includes standouts like the Impossible Burger, avocado toast, and vegan potato gnocchi al pesto.
It’s rare to see a coffee shop put so much effort into vegan dining, and it’s part of what makes Madhouse special. Even if you’re not vegan, these dishes are worth trying for their flavor and creativity.
Funky Decor and Playful Charm
Inside, Madhouse is all about personality. Bumper stickers cover the space, quirky art lines the walls, and the vibe is both laid-back and energizing. One of the most fun features is their two-step bench—yes, it’s a little quirky, but it brings out the inner kid in you.
The shop offers both indoor and outdoor seating, so whether you’re looking for a cozy nook or a breezy spot, they’ve got you covered.
Your Neighborhood Spot
Madhouse isn’t just about coffee and food—they also host events throughout the month. Signs inside announce upcoming happenings, making it feel like a true community hub.
Whether you’re grabbing a latte before work, meeting friends for a casual bite, or stopping by late at night, Madhouse always has something going on.
The Madhouse Magic
Great coffee, friendly service, funky decor, and a menu that offers something for everyone—Madhouse Coffee is a spot you’ll want to return to again and again.
It’s craft coffee without the pretension, a funky hangout without the fuss, and a community space that never stops buzzing. And with a drive-thru for those on the go, it truly is the best of all worlds.
Las Vegas has no shortage of coffee shops, but Madhouse has carved out a category all its own. Step inside—or swing through the drive-thru—and you’ll see exactly why locals love it.
