Madis Coffee Roasters of University City is opening a 4,679-square-foot space at The Curtis, located on Philadelphia’s Independence Mall. This new location will offer a unique coffee experience and provide a glimpse into the artistry of coffee roasting said landlord Keystone.
Madis, known for its precision in coffee roasting and strong ties to the community, chose The Curtis for its second location due to the building’s storied history, stunning architecture and prime location near landmarks like Independence Hall.
“It’s a privilege to welcome Madis to The Curtis, further expanding the mix of tenants in the Independence Mall district,” said Rich Gottlieb, president and COO of Keystone. “Madis blends the historic charm of The Curtis with a modern coffee experience, aligning with our mission to enhance the vibrancy of this iconic neighborhood.”
The Madis space will serve as both a café and a roastery. Recognized for its expertise in coffee from bean to cup, Madis aims to offer a one-of-a-kind experience, where visitors can learn about the roasting process and explore brewing techniques.
“We’re excited to make The Curtis our new home,” said Eleni Navrosidis of Madis Coffee Roasters. “This space is not just a café, but a community hub where we can connect with coffee lovers and offer an educational experience. Our goal is to inspire visitors with the complexity of coffee — whether through brewing methods, coffee profiles, or roasting processes — and make The Curtis a destination for both enjoyment and learning.”
