Monon Coffee Company — Restaurant in Indianapolis

A wonderful coffee experience! I get a red eye, that is my drink. At Monon Coffee, I have a choice of the light, medium, and dark roast that goes in the red eye. I got the medium roast, with 2 shots of expresso. I then put in soy and 2 splenda. I also have the option to do refills on a red eye, this I have never seen. There is also a whole bunch of different sweeteners, including a natural one. The dessert I had was excellent. I have gone 2 days in a row. Same great experience. Parking in back of Monon Coffee is free. The music that is very present and thoughtful. There are several different seating types from comfortable next to the window, to group room in the back. Monon Coffee has 2 community boards, local pottery, and they are cheerful. Monon Coffee also has punch cards for return business.I love coming...

My girlfriend and I were in the mood to try a local, small coffeehouse instead of our usual Starbucks trip, so we picked Monon Coffee as I live in the Bripp area and I've heard plenty good about it. Unfortunately, we were both disappointed. The customer service was great considering only one person was working on a Saturday morning. She was prompt and working hard. But it would have been better having at least one more worker.

More importantly, the drinks were just average at best. I wasn't expecting a sugary equal to my usual Starbucks, I understand the difference between the two. However, in comparison to other coffeehouses I have been to, the drinks just lacked flavor, was bland overall, and just forgetful. My girlfriend actually threw hers out and we stopped and got coffee from somewhere...

Highly recommended. These people really know their beans. I have always been a bit of a coffee connoisseur and Monon went above my expectations. They have a bean there that is barely roasted which means the bean is almost white. I would recommend asking for this bean in an Americano so you an really taste the difference in the bean. It had almost an almond like quality. The best part about this particular bean is the fact that the caffeine content is about 3X stronger because the roast on the bean is minimum. This is not a bean most coffee shops would carry and it really shows their knowledge of coffee. Will visit anytime I am in town. Going to have my sister ship me some of their coffee. Great local business...
