I've been coming here since before the name change and have always liked the atmosphere, coffee, and staff but have stopped coming here frequently because they have taken away what makes all independent coffee shops great, free wifi. \n\nWifi is made available only to paying customers (understandable), but on an incremental system. Spend $4-$7 and get 1 hour. \n\nValue has been shifted from the customer to the customer's wallet and has made madhouse more of a \"get in and get out\" coffee shop than a \"come enjoy a drink and get some work done\" shop.\n\nMadhouse has lost much of its appeal and I have switched to nearby competitors, independent and corporate, who offer a relaxed atmosphere, fair coffee, and unlimited wifi.
