Fresh Start Coffeehouse

It's really cute. Good vibes, good coffee, good smoothie. You should go!
My only suggestion is to post a clear sign on the post where you have the door dash shelves that tells people to go around the corner to order. From the door, you can't see the coffee bar (in the back to the right). I was wondering if I was in the right place.
BUT super-cute! Reasonable process on our drinks.

Wonderful place with a great staff and great atmosphere.

I had the pleasure of trying this coffee house while I was visiting Monroe. It was exactly as advertised and the food was unexpectedly delicious. I had a smoothie and my colleague had a chai as well as trying some of the food. Service was great and James was very helpful. What was super unfortunate was that I was there the same time as Sarah Jessen (previous reviewer) I know this for multiple reasons. 1) it was only us outside of staff and volunteers until she came in; 2) she made a HUGE scene which ended in her screaming “I’M GOING TO WRITE A GOOGLE REVIEW ABOUT THIS! ILL TELL THEM THE COFFEE WAS GOOD BUT THAT YOU SUPPORT THAT!”
So what happened? Sarah got her coffee and was chatting with the staff about living in NY for 10 years. Not 2 minutes pass and she is screaming to the entire room about her disbelief they had “that on the wall”. Two older staff or volunteers attempted to interject because at this point she was yelling at the staff member. She did not let them speak and kept yelling over them before leaving. The staff handled this with such grace and even apologized to us.
My problem is that this place is a mission based nonprofit dedicated to helping people in your community. This would have been a great learning experience to let them know the flag had been co-opted and that they should take it down. Instead, she choose to scream at a black man that he was a “white Christian nationalist” and two elderly volunteers. I can confirm that they spent 10 minutes googling after trying to figure out what she meant and I consider myself fairly educated and had no clue this flag even existed. This is not something that the average person would know. I would be surprised if they don’t remove it.

Food was delicious. Staff was helpful and kind. A wonderful cause. I’m very sad that this occurred.

Great message and coffee!

Why do you have a WHITE CHRISTIAN NATIONAL symbol hanging on your wall? I know, I know, thats not what the flag ORIGIANALLY meant. But that meaning has changed since the proud boys and others took it over and flew it at the 1/6 insurrection. It just really isn't needed. I have been wanting to come here and was even thinking about attending meetings. It superceded my expectations SO I am EXTREMELY disappointed.

Excellent customer service, live music, comprehensive menu, highly recommend!

What a great place! Great food, I had the stuffed hash browns and the staff and environment was soo cozy! I will be back soon!

Very cute and cozy place, food and drink was good. Staff was kind also, check it out!

Awesome place, great service. Don't let the look from the outside fool you. Stuffed hashbrowns looked amazing.

Great coffee in a friendly, cozy place.

Stayed at a hotel next door, so stopped in here on the way out for a cappuccino. Nice little place, and the drink was excellent.

I found this place a few months back on a random Saturday. I walked in and was taken aback by how uniquely it was decorated, how spacious it is, and how welcoming the staff were.

This place has a mission to help provide a fresh start to people who have are recovering from the twists and turns life took them on.

One of my favorite things is chatting with the staff and the other people enjoying their coffee.

Would recommend.

Vegetarian options: You can get anything without meat however, they do not offer plant based meat options

Parking: There is a parking lot available with plenty of parking spaces.

Kid-friendliness: They have family friendly games and coloring books.

Went for an art show. When I walked through the doors of the coffee house, a warm, relaxing feeling swept over me. Very inviting, comfortable establishment! Definitely would go back!
