One of my new favorite spots in town to sit and work! Love the vibe and atmosphere of the new location on McCallie. My coffee is always great, made quickly, and everyone is kind. Very inclusive and tons of seating areas. Definitely check this new spot out!

I haven't been to their physical location, but have ordered multiple different roasts from them in the mail. Every single one of them is delicious. The dark roast doesn't have a burnt taste like many do. Each package also came with some cool stickers! My spouse and I had to fight over who got what stickers 😅 I'd love to check out the physical location at some point. For now, I'll keep enjoying their coffee in the mail 🤙

I've been meaning to try this little place after a co worker recommended it, she said the lattes were absolutely delicious. I popped in during a work break since it's relatively close by and I got a medium iced latte with the brown sugar syrup. Brown sugar lattes sound so easy to make but so many places don't always get it right, but Mad Priest certainly did. It is by far the best brown sugar iced latte I've ever had (and I've had a lot 😅). I love finding hole in the wall kind of places and this felt like one of them. Super chill vibes and atmosphere and everyone was so nice- this would've been the type of place I would've loved as a student to come in for a cup of coffee and sit down to study/read. As a self proclaimed coffee addict I will be back to check out the rest of their menu, but this has easily become my new favorite coffee spot after just one drink 💯❤️

The baristas are lovely and the new space is so cozy; it’s comforting to be surrounded by wood and warm colors. The temperature feels like a slightly cracked open oven which is perfect temp for the light sweater I had with me. I love when they have new drink specials to try. This season the drinks are Lord of the Rings themed

The mad priest is a great artisan roaster and coffee shop with a satirical religious theme. They have lots of old religious paintings, even in the bathroom. They have at least one old church pew. Unfortunately, they don’t do pour overs, which is a little puzzling, but their drip coffee was quite good as it is made in small batches fairly frequently. Ours was a Honduran named “left behind”. I also had a Breve which also was good. There is a variety of seating, including some cozy niches. You can also purchase beans in 12 ounce bags, which are reasonably priced considering the quality. The baristas were friendly, and knowledgeable. They were happy to answer questions about their coffee process.

I love MP’s new space!! It’s a unique and inclusive space. I love that about them. I’ll always support a business that is on the side of all humans. Their veggie quiche was amazingly good.

This place is awesome. The vibe and branding is on point. The coffee is tasty. It was our first time so we got lattes and drip coffee. You can’t go wrong here with either choice. Loved the fun names of the coffee as well.

This place Is such a vibe. I came here before my daughter's soccer game and these girls were giddy with all the random surprises they found hidden about the place. Growing up a former Catholic I totally appreciated all the details from the gothic style to the confessional to purgatory bathrooms and exorcism touches. Chef's kiss on being totally original. Great employees, knowledgeable on coffee and blending flavors- they aren't scared to create something on the spot for you. I'll be back every time I'm in town!
