First time here. The coffee was very good and if I come back it will be for coffee only. I ordered the omelet and the eggs were scorched and dry, plus flavorless.

I was a bit saddened by our disappointing experience given the fantastic reviews this place gets. We arrived in Franklin and wanted to try this place for breakfast as someone recommended it - we went for Sunday breakfast. The vibe seemed great and the menu looked good online so we thought it was a perfect spot. We came in and no one really spoke to us at all so my kids and I stood by the door for a while until eventually we were told it would be about 15 mins for a table (although we were happy to sit outside but I wasn’t sure whether that was only for takeout). They seemed moderately busy as it was late Sunday morning so I thought it maybe this was the result of being too busy. Thankfully the very friendly guy behind the coffee counter let us peruse the menu while we waited (he was very friendly).
When we were seated eventually, it was in a back room and it took a while for the young lady looking after our table to approach us. It was just me and my kids so they got two kids breakfasts (a French toast and a kid’s bacon and scrambled eggs meal), and I got an omelette. The food took so long to come out that my kids were getting very restless and really wanted to go elsewhere - it was around 30 minutes between ordering and food coming.
The food was okay - my omelette had big chunks of pepper, bacon, and onion inside but they were very oily so I just ate the eggs. The kids were super hungry by that point so they ate!
Despite the incredibly slow service (even getting water refills took ages), I found the guy at the front behind the coffee counter to be the nicest out of everyone in the place. There were a few other guys walking around (maybe going upstairs to clear tables? Not sure) and when I accidentally got in his way while looking for the bathroom he was very unhappy with me.
Lastly, coffee-wise, I wouldn’t recommend the Golden Monkey unless you like your coffee very heavy/sweet - the blend of flavors just didn’t work very well for me personally (and I normally love cinnamon in my coffee but this had turmeric, cayenne, etc). I did ask if it would be sweet and was told no but it turned out to be quite sweet.
I was quite sad about our experience as it came recommended but perhaps it was an off day. Maybe a non-Sunday is a better day to visit.

Came in for coffee later in the afternoon after realizing everyone else was closed for the day. Thankfully Frothy Monkey was open! Coffee and drinks were very good. I got the iced chai tea.

Cute vibe! Friendly staff. The food was amazing. Not much parking right by the location but we enjoy walking. I'm not usually one for grits but these were great.

Food is mediocre. I order the biscuits and gravy with chorizo. Didn’t have much chorizo in it if any at all. The taste was very plain not much flavor. Returned it and ordered a bagel sandwich. It was ok. This place is nothing to ride home about I came here a couple of years ago. Food quality was much better. Don’t think I am coming back. I could make better food at home
