This place is great. Decor is next level, coffee is good. Almond croissant is a must try. The only thing is they don't have wifi. But that's part of their mystique. Their long table, and huge library of books encourages deep thought, conversations, or just quiet murmurings while sipping on their drinks. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating as well.
I will say from the street view and the interior decor this place gets a solid 10 out of 10. I can see meeting up with friends reading a book, and grabbing a bite to go. I would not suggest the arepas. Even if they say they have a chef I would be weary. If you want arepas made authentically please buy from a Spanish or Latin restaurant. If you want coffee and snack to go than this is the place for you. I enjoyed the coffee , but was disappointed with arepas which were priced well...
UPDATE 10/1/2025: They changed their matcha recently. In my humble opinion, the old one was better. I will still come to Monkey Cup but maybe less often.
Monkey Cup is such a nice spot! The baristas are always great and super friendly, you can really tell they care about their regulars as much as they do new customers. I consider myself a regular, and it always feels welcoming.
I’m a big matcha guy, and theirs is honestly one of the best...
