Delicious coffee, fast professional service. Great selection of drinks, they also have pastries if that is what you are looking for. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend! Walking into Monkey Joe's for the first time felt like walking into another world. With historic tin ceilings and monkeys in every corner of the building, MJ has an awesome aesthetic. I went in and ordered a mocha and a latte, both to go. The barista had a selection of alternative milks which was a plus as well. Reasonable coffee prices! Service was very quick, which given how busy it was was a nice surprise- the work of highly skilled baristas. They also have me a loyalty punch card, so down the line l can get a free coffee! Ample seating and the vibe inside was super comfortable, making it a cool hangout space as well. Overall it was a pleasant experience, with great coffee to boot.
Lovely place , the best coffee I love to see how they make the coffee I love to go there for working in my proyect @envidasyviajes Un lugar encantador
Yummmm. Their coffee is so good. The workers, the atmosphere, the smell... its all fabulous
The motto made me laugh and made me curious, I kept wanting to stop in and see what it would be like to "Taste NO evil". I finally visited today, they didn't have any Columbian up and said it would be a while, so I tried the Brazilian, very good, nice and smooth. I might very likely visit again if I have any appointments in that area. Starbuck's has nothing on this place and coffee here isn't as expensive. Worth anyone's time, I recommend it if you're in their area.
I’ve tried them all and this is the best coffee shop in all Kingston. Coffee is rich in flavor and super reasonable in price. Pastries and biscotti are delicious. Friendly chill atmosphere. And it opens at 6:30 before anyone else!
I enjoyed the autumn americano and banana bread!
This place is great. The smell of fresh roasted coffee beans hits you right in the face as soon as you walk in. They have a huge selection to choose from and they really mind how they prep it for you. If you do a hot coffee like I did, you can pick drip, slow pour or French press for the brewing of your cup. The staff is friendly and patience, which is awesome when you have so many option. I'll definitely be going here every time I'm in the Kingston area.
The quality of the coffee here is unmatched, any where! If you have monkey joes coffee, it’s difficult to go back to drinking any major brand. The staff are friendly, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable. If you are visiting the area, monkey joes is a must for your morning coffee. I recommend looking at their seasonal specials as they are always fantastic, however I have a hard time passing up on what is affectionately called the spunky monkey. It is a frozen concoction that includes chocolate, banana, and a shot of espresso. In terms of beans to take home I recommend the Sumatra, the Costa Rican, the Jazzy Joe (lightly flavored coffee with hints of maple syrup and cinnamon), and the hazelnut coffees. As for food; there’s always a selection of pastries, but I have a tendency to order one of the bagels. The atmosphere here is comfortable and cozy. It’s a great space to meet up to talk with friends, or get some work done. If your visiting Kingston for a short while, or a local that just hasn’t visited this place yet, just go! You really won’t regret it.
