La Monaco - Stinkwater

I like to judge a coffee shop by it's chocolate cake and wow. A delicious 6 layer moist chocolate was eaten by me this morning. It was so big I could only eat half. So yum.<br/ <br/ Coffee was also great :

I would love to have breakfast here ever morning before work. I love their cappuccino. The staff are very friendly and efficient. It's a perfect place to have lunch and just take a break from the day.

A bit of an 'old school ' feel welcomes you as you approach the outside porch. Quaint music plays from the not so modern speakers, there 's usually not too many noisy people around and all in all the experience is quite darling. Trademark-delicious baked goods line a draped table and there 's even a mini little conference room down stairs, available for small functions. It 's simply very nice!<br/

Popular with the locals, La Monaco is a cozy place with daily specials and a smaller but sufficient menu. I've heard the Avo Biltong salad is amazing but I was hungry and went for a beef lasagne while fiancé had a chicken pot pie. Both meals were tasty enough and good portions, both with a decent side salad. The capuccino was a bit average, not the strong cuppa we were hoping for. I also had a Toni Glass peppermint tea, the Toni Glass selection that La Monaco now serves is a bit pricey but the selection is great and the tea really does go down well. <br/ <br/ Only drawback to La Monaco would be the lack of parking if you're lucky there might be a spot open but generally it's easiest to stop across the road and walk over. Good spot for a lunch break and the decor is cute and quirky. We didn't try a dessert but I would go back to try one sometime.

One of my favourite coffee shops in pretoria! Love the vibe, decor and the food is amazing. We had a babyshower here and the service was fantastic, they let us bring our own decorations and we selected a fantastic high tea menu ;
