Monks has good coffee for more reasonable pricing than competitors. I believe the ingredients are higher quality as well. These are the main reasons I choose them. IMO they have the best tasting coffee/drinks in Abilene.

That said, drinks can be inconsistent depending on who is making them and that really wouldnt be a huge deal if the girls behind the counter didn't get SO defensive and make it one. They always insist the reason the drink was off was bc of something the customer did as though its not possible they could've made a mistake. Twice now, they've insisted I said something I know I didn't on different kinds of drinks. Ive had to ask for maybe... six re makes in the last two YEARS and I go three or four times a month. This is not because they dont make more mistakes than that, these are just the times the drink was bad enough it couldn't be drank. I have no idea why the girls make SUCH a big deal over something that happens so seldom and look to blame someone. The guys don't argue, make snarky comments they think you can't hear, LIE, or make ugly facial expressions. The attitudes are a BIG turn off.

Also, there is a good amount of seating, but the furniture is gross. The couches look disgusting and are in dire need of replacement.
