The Chai latte was warm and comforting just like the barista who made it. This cafe makes me wish for rain, just so I can sit here with warm drink under comfy lightening and watch the world slow down.

Everyone who works here is incredibly sweet and attentive. The coffee drinks are delicious, and the food from both the Korean restaurant downstairs and the cafe is delicious. The space is very large and clean and the ambience is very calming. My absolute only issue is that the tables are too low for the bench seating/benches are too high for the tables. But I love this place, I come with my classmates and alone!

I had a great time at Monkey Tiger. Was recommended by so many people and today got time to go and eat. Service was on point. I had kimchi stew and chai latte.. ohh my goddd so good. I will be here soon again. And special shout out to the server with the glasses, he was so friendly and neat felt like home tipping won’t feel hard on you if you got treated this good. Thank you monkey tiger.

Cutest cafe ever – Monkey Tiger! We had mango and strawberry soju cocktails and they were so good. Hosu and Ku from Nepal were working there, and they were super cheerful and friendly. It felt like hanging out with friends! They also recommended some yummy Korean food, which the cafe serves too. We loved it so much, we came back the same day! Highly recommend!

A hidden gem of Clinton Hill (hopefully not for long because I want this place to succeed)! Monkey Tiger serves cafe fare with drinks and pastries in the morning, as well as lunch/dinner options with a Korean twist starting at 11am. Full bar with a cocktail menu, too. Casual enough for friends and cute enough for date night. Friendly service. Great coffee and matcha.

Stopped in for coffee with a large group of runners and they were so accommodating and were pretty speedy with drinks given our size. Beautiful and spacious interior with an outdoor space as well for warmer weather.

love this place! a hidden alley find. i come often with classmates and the drinks and food are always good :) service is very accommodating too since we come with a larger party. love the vibes and the graphic design books laying around. i recommend the kimbap & the makmonk!
Okay it’s been almost 24 hours and I’m still thinking about this so I need to write a review just to make people aware - the cafe is cute and everyone was nice but I was absolutely shocked at how uncomfortable the seating was. The tables were mostly extremely low and there were a few that were extremely high. Like, comically high. I can’t stop thinking about it.
This could be a non-issue if you’re just sitting while on your phone or chatting with a friend, but if you’re trying to eat anything off of a plate/bowl or honestly even use a laptop for any extended amount of time, just know that you will be either hunched over or eating at a trough. I’m a freak and I actually loveee really high tables so once I switched from the low seat to the high seat, I was having the time of my life (it’s hard to find to find this chair-table height pairing on purpose!) but if I had to sit at one of the lower ones I think I would have literally asked for a to-go box and eaten outside on the sidewalk. For context, I’m 5’4.
Anyways! Not a Bad experience overall for me specifically, but this is what I wish I would have been warned about just so I could anticipate this polarizing experience.

Costumer service was on top, and the best part was the ambience of this place, those working here did a great job at keeping the place neat and clean. Also, food was good.
