Love the seasonal coffee flavors here, and the espresso is very rich The staff is very friendly and helpful The atmosphere is very relaxed and there's a lot of options for seating.

I don’t know what kind of coffee they use here, but it’s simply the smoothest and best I’ve ever had. I’m glad I live 35 miles away or I’d spend about $15/day in there on lattes and snacks. Ha!

So much attention to detail with the craft coffee alongside the best service in town. It doesn't get better than this. Their bottled lattes are awesome too!

I love Monarch Expresso Bar! It’s such a warm atmosphere with awesome craft coffee. We need more authentic local owned businesses in Tuscaloosa like this one.

Monarch has curated the perfect coffee experience - educated baristas who are also willing and happy to share their coffee knowledge in a space that feels warm cozy. I’ve always felt welcomed and at home when I’ve gone in. They also have an amazing pastry case, highly recommend any of the seasonal drinks or the perfectly crafted pour over.
Cute place but the common table we sat at was so dirty/sticky and it was only 10 am. When I asked for a rag no one offered to clean it. I did myself, but shouldn’t have to with 4 young people standing behind counter. Clearly, needs better management teaching these young people about cleaning not just chatting.

I feel like i’m in jail when i’m here. No vibes at all. It feels like punishment to sit in here. Girls at the counter were rude and latte was gross
