I stumbled across this place when I was doing an engagement shoot nearby but had to hop on a client call. I ordered a peach green tea refresher which was amazing and so much better than Starbucks. The wifi was great and super fast and it was an overall nice environment to work from. I really liked how late they were open. (I went in at 6:30pm) because all other options I could work from were closed.I would drive the distance just to come back for the atmosphere.

It is a wonderful place, a very cozy Cafe set inside the train station. Really enjoy coming here, the staff is extremely nice with great service and very good food and drinks. My only issue is that they say they're open until 9:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday, Saturday but when you go there, depending on the situation, you can find them closed as I did tonight when I stopped by hoping to have a coffee around 7:15pm on a Thursday evening. The posted hours should be reliable and followed.

A real gem of a find! Old train station building turned into coffee shop. Our 3 year old enjoyed watching the trains go by as we enjoyed our coffee!Parking: There are a few designated spots out frontKid-friendliness: It’s a great spot for kids to watch trains but just beware it is still a working rail system without a fence

Decided to try a new local spot instead of Starbucks or lacolombe and this did not disappoint! Banana fosters latte was awesome and the black and white cookie was one of the best I’ve had. Highly recommend for a different coffee spot.

I'm saddened to revise my review with fewer stars for Mad Anthony Wayne Cafe, a spot I previously adored. My last visit, about a month ago, was disappointing. After picking up bagels from Spread Bagelry across the street, my boyfriend and I stopped at the cafe for coffee. While we were enjoying our bagels and coffee, a woman, who seemed to be the manager, approached us. She informed us that we weren't allowed to eat the bagels there, despite us being paying customers for their coffee. Her tone was notably condescending and dismissive, which was surprising and unwelcome, especially considering our frequent patronage. We've not only been regulars, visiting multiple times a week, but also have brought in numerous friends and enthusiastically recommended the cafe. Being treated disrespectfully in a space that feels communal, particularly next to a busy train station, was disheartening. We expected a more understanding and welcoming approach, especially since we did support their business during that visit. Regrettably, we haven't returned since encountering such unwelcoming behavior towards loyal customers.

I can never focus when working in coffee shops but this place is the exception. Not too $ and very nice people. Their sandwiches are also

This spot truly is a hidden gem! It's very easy to miss it as it blends in with the train station, but Mad Anthony is worth a visit. This is truly my favorite coffee shop in town whether I need to get some work done or just need a little pick me up. The workers are always super friendly and I love that there is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Their drinks are top notch and the gelato is always a temptation. I would say the absolute best part about Mad Anthony Wayne Cafe, is the fact that you almost never need to pay for parking as there is free parking outside. That truly is the icing on the cake for me as parking on North Wayne Ave. and Lancaster Ave. can be a big pain!I love this spot and it will continue to be my go to cafe

Always love stopping here. Such a neat little place!
This is hands down my favorite coffee spot. I romanticize the experience every time since it is attached to the train station. Their coffee is delicious (La Colombe) and the food is always on point.Their baristas are sweet and have accommodated my pickiness. I recommend their smoked salmon dishes or the breakfast sandwiches on (good) sourdough.I do wish certain programs worked on their wifi (Figma, Slack) but that’s not a knock on them.

Such a cute little place in Wayne! It’s by the train station so it’s tucked away a little from all the craziness that is Wayne on a night out. We love going here to get the gelato after a good meal. The staff are always super helpful and so down to earth! There are beautiful pastries as well and they have a wide selection of sandwiches. My favorite flavor of gelato is the stracciatella. It is perfectly creamy vanilla ice cream with whole chocolate pieces that add a nice crunch as well as perfect chocolatey flavor. It tastes like a Klondike bar!! So yummy. Definitely a cute little place to stop by.

I love having a restaurant in the train station. The atmosphere is perfect for studying or a date night. The service is always amazing and you can't go wrong with their Gelato. The coffee is a little pricey but still good.

There are no menu prices listed and while the coffee is good there is no reason i should be charged $8.50 for a latte with oatmilk and vanilla. That's an absolutely ridiculous cost and i'd be better off just going to starbucks for that price

Very cool location, friendly service, and decent coffee. I enjoyed sitting outside by the tracks (with my headphones on) and beginning my weekend here.What I didn't love: my croissant (almost certainly not fresh and a little on the sweet side) and the notably musty air quality inside the cafe.
