I have lived in the Monroe area all of my life and love this coffee shop! The baristas are always super nice and welcoming when I walk in. I visit so much that they know my name now. I can tell the menu has been crafted with much care, as the drinks and food are so unique and like no other. My favorite drinks are The 523, the Vietnamese iced coffee, and the Honey Lavender. Depending on the seasons, they also have drink specials and these are always so good and I look forward to seeing what they create. In addition to the great coffee, the food is to die for. My personal favorites are the tuna poke bowl and the grilled cheese. They also add new items to their food menu often, adding lots of variety. This coffee shop also participates and gives back to this community so much. I do wish they had a t-shirt or something I could buy to rep them around town. I highly recommend everyone to visit this coffee shop if you are in the area. You will not be...
Read moreI’ve been to this coffee shop a couple of times and I’ve had a good experience with the food and the coffee. Although, I’ve had an uncomfortable experience with the front of house especially. Every time I’ve walked up to the bar (no signs to let you know where to order or really what to do when you come in) I’ve always been greeted with a poor attitude. They don’t seem to have any costumer service whatsoever. Myself and others I’ve spoken to about the restaurant can mutually agree that the bar staff is off putting and come off as condescending. When I come up to order I often feel unwelcome and unwanted, this feeling extends to the others I have spoken to about Standard Coffee. The kind folks bring the food are absolutely excellent. Front of house workers should be the face of the restaurant and for the back of house to be rarely seen, but be more courteous and welcoming, shows a stark disparity in levels of customer service...
Read moreClassic independent coffee shop. The warm smell of fresh brewed coffee wafts over you as you walk in the door. Has classic mellow coffee shop music! Iconic artwork on the walls.
This is the kind of place where you get there early, grab a cup of brew, and cozy into a book for a few hours.
By the way the coffee was great! They have a talented crew behind the counter. A small assortment of snacks is available.
If I lived in the area this would be my regular haunt. I'd be the weird old guy in the corner, but still it's a great place.
It's easy to find, and parking is available adjacent to the building and on the street.
There are a couple of tables and chairs out front if you want to brave the heat. But it was kind of pleasant early in the morning.
I had a regular cup of coffee it has a strong dark flavor. Very nice!
Great local coffee shop. Wish I was...
