"I favor the uovo ($5.75), which features a carefully partitioned egg, a slice of Italian prosciutto cotta, scallions, and plenty of mayo on a roll made by Madman Bakery; it's small enough to eat in five or six bites while I drink a flat white." - Robert Sietsema
"The uovo ($5.50) is just the right size for a snack or small meal — sliced egg, scallions, lots of mayo, and an optional slice of ham on brioche — meant to be eaten in four or five bites so you don't feel fleeced." - Eater Staff
"At Madman Espresso, a tiny coffee bar chain with an extreme Italian bent that I’ve long extolled for its baked goods (more than its exceedingly strong and bitter coffee), they squeeze housemade focaccia in a sandwich press with fillings like mortadella, gorgonzola, and—for no apparent reason—extra pistachios ($8); the cheese melts while the mortadella only warms slightly." - Robert Sietsema
"This coffee bar in the heart of the West Village where Bleecker and Christopher collide has one of the finest collections of focaccia, pastries, and tiny sandwiches in the city — it could be a lunch destination unto itself except for a critical lack of seating, though there are benches and tables outside. Coffee is better than average." - Robert Sietsema
