Monkey Joe Roasting Company — Restaurant in City of Kingston

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.

Walking into Monkey Joe's for the first time felt like walking into another world. With historic tin ceilings and monkeys in every corner of the building, MJ has an awesome aesthetic.

I went in and ordered a mocha and a latte, both to go. The barista had a selection of alternative milks which was a plus as well. Reasonable coffee prices!

Service was very quick, which given how busy it was was a nice surprise- the work of highly skilled baristas. They also have me a loyalty punch card, so down the line l can get a free coffee!

Ample seating and the vibe inside was super comfortable, making it a cool hangout space as well.

Overall it was a pleasant experience, with great...

Kingston's only coffee roaster and oldest coffee shop, Monkey Joe Roasting Company is off the beaten path but is definitely worth seeking out. Wide selection of in-house roasted beans, fresh brewed coffee (variety changes daily), and expert baristas who know their stuff re: espresso drinks make MJRC a must visit...often! Atmosphere is warm and fits with Kingston's historic vibe.

Two staffers recently bought MJRC from original owners. They have continued the policy of not offering WiFi nor sandwiches. IMO this is positive as it encourages people to enjoy the coffee and each other's company instead of going there to bury themselves in work. There are other places in town for that.

I rarely have anyone else's beans in my house than...
