Monkey Nest
Description
Nestled in a cozy corner of the city, Monkey Nest Coffee offers a delightful blend of specialty coffees and freshly made pastries, though experiences may vary. While the ambiance is generally inviting, some have noted a quieter atmosphere due to low music volume. The staff shines with friendliness and efficient service, charismatically guiding patrons through a tantalizing menu featuring standout items like the Nutty Irishman and a range of delicious sandwiches and pastries. With ample parking and inviting seating, it serves as a solid spot for casual meetings or quick coffee breaks, though occasional lapses in food quality may occur.

Literally such a cute place. Our server .... he was a charmer. Them pigtails are on point hon. I had $4 tea and my son had a big double shot coffee. It was pretty good. Bathrooms are clean! Unheard of in SA! Yall get it! Next time I'm in the area we will be back.
Been coming here for over ten years so here is what you need to know: Clean restrooms for both men and women with plenty of outlets and free wifi, meeting room, seating, and comfy sofas. Also calming Middle Eastern sofi relaxed kind of music all day with no echoing of people talking like some places so great place to come finish work and go. Does even have a fireplace durong the winter although I have never seen them use it! Also lots of paintings and unique memories get out up here! Now for why no five stars from me: Customer service has been hit or miss over the years and almost different people every time I come here over the last ten years. Most have been just chill and neutral, hard to have any conversations with, and always seem cold or not to care. Food sandwiches, teas, and smoothies I will take a pass on, not the worst but definitely not worth the money I have paid On the other hand the Monkey original acai bowl and coffee are legit, not a fan of the creamers or milk they use here so stick straight to black. I try to order each time I come here. Also parking just plain sucks and is hit or miss here and literally nearly wrecked my vehicle with pot holes on t he entrance coming in or nearly getting hit by the traffic from Papa John's pizza next door so be warned and careful getting in and out of here on north oumd lane of North Lamar! :p P.s. They also have random board games, a printer you can use, yes a printer you can pay to use!
This is a great coffee shop for day to day remote work. I came around 5pm and it was quiet and had plenty of seating. I ordered the hibiscus tea and was happy with it after adding a little sweetener haha.
Chill coffee shop. I needed a place to crash for the day and do some work, and Monkey Nest was perfect. Comfortable and not crowded, and the food is pretty good. Friendly, low-key service.
