Stopped in for a quick coffee meeting and got a latte. It has a good vibe with plenty of seating. The service was fast and came complete with some latte art. The latte was a bit strong for my tastes, but a solid entry nonetheless. Parking is available, but it on the surrounding streets. I imagine it can get difficult to park at certain times. Go check it out.

Awesome vibes and service! Grant was patient and made some amazing recommendations. The sweet cream cold brew is definitely a stand out. :)

My family and I went twice during our visit and really enjoyed it. My daughter particularly loved the atmosphere and said she could envision coming back during future trips. My wife ordered the Cuban latte and loved it. My daughter and I ordered a made to order Honey-Lavender Iced Latte and it was delicious. I ordered an extra shot bc It wasn't dark enough at first. If you like strong coffee, I would suggest that. Overall, great coffee, ambiance, and service.

So, I'm traveling from Baton Rouge back to Louisville , KY and I did a quick search for a local coffee shop here in Tuscaloosa, bc I don't like chain coffee shops. Found Monarch, called the number it was around 9:40am. Immediately I received a text from Audrey letting me know they will open @ 10am. I thought that's impressive, different level of service. So I took that opportunity to reply with my question regarding their Matcha. Which she answered right back. I knew then I found where I was going. Once there I asked if Audrey was there, Grant, awesome dude, informed me no, she's the owner. Even more blown away that the owner would take the time to answer a question from a random, potential, customer. My drink was amazing, the service was top notch and the atmosphere was great.I have a business in Louisville, KY and appreciate this top shelf level of service and product. Keep doing what you do, you guys are crushing it!

I loved the coffee, atmosphere, and service. I had the salted caramel iced and it was delicious. The girl who took our order was super friendly and the service was very quick. I was visiting from out of town, and this was one of my favorite spots in

This must be the place that inspired Johann Sebastian Bach to write his opera about coffee obsession in 1732.It’s what kept Voltaire going when he wrote “Candide”I would drink coffee here everyday if I could… - Beethoven, 1798
