The quality of the coffee here is unmatched, any where! If you have monkey joes coffee, it’s difficult to go back to drinking any major brand.

The staff are friendly, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable.

If you are visiting the area, monkey joes is a must for your morning coffee. I recommend looking at their seasonal specials as they are always fantastic, however I have a hard time passing up on what is affectionately called the spunky monkey. It is a frozen concoction that includes chocolate, banana, and a shot of espresso. In terms of beans to take home I recommend the Sumatra, the Costa Rican, the Jazzy Joe (lightly flavored coffee with hints of maple syrup and cinnamon), and the hazelnut coffees. As for food; there’s always a selection of pastries, but I have a tendency to order one of the bagels.

The atmosphere here is comfortable and cozy. It’s a great space to meet up to talk with friends, or get some work done.

If your visiting Kingston for a short while, or a local that just hasn’t visited this place yet, just go! You really won’t regret it.
