We ordered takeout from Monk Cafe on Monday afternoon. They have a different menu for the weekdays than for weekends. See attached image of weekday menu. We got the Avocado Toast, Beef Burger & a Salmon tartare to share. The food was really delicious - so good that we finished it & then realized we forgot to take photos! We would definitely return for a meal in the future next time we are in this area.

Love this little gem on Monk! The go to place when we just can't pick what we want/need as it has a bit of everything.

Super cute atmosphere as well. Recommend the burrata as well as the chicken burger. You can ask for olives as well!

As someone who lives in the neighborhood & has been a regular customer of this cafe, I've always appreciated its convenience & the generally friendly service. I'm currently on maternity leave & stop by at least once a week, either with a friend or a family member. It's been a small but enjoyable part of my weekly routine, until recently.

The last time I was walking by with my stroller, I stopped to ask the short brown-haired waitress outside if I could quickly order a coffee to go. Before I could even finish my sentence, she cut me off & told me she was too busy, & that I'd have to come inside with the stroller if I wanted anything. Her tone was dismissive, & the interaction felt unnecessarily cold.

What's frustrating is that I've never had an issue like this with any of the other staff members. Everyone else has always been incredibly warm, accommodating, & kind. Unfortunately, this particular waitress consistently lacks the same level of courtesy, & it stands out, especially in a place that's supposed to feel welcoming to locals.

I understand how difficult it can be to find & retain good staff, especially these days. But for a neighborhood cafe that likely depends on repeat customers like myself, I would expect a little more kindness & flexibility, especially toward a regular juggling a baby & a stroller.

This experience has genuinely made me reconsider whether I want to keep supporting this spot. A bit of empathy goes a long way, & it's a shame when that's missing.

I've traveled the globe, tasting countless espresso martinis, but none compare to the one at Monk Cafe! This place offers a great atmosphere, excellent service, & a brunch menu that caters to every taste & appetite. However, the undisputed star is JP's espresso martini. His'secret' recipe & masterful touch create a velvet perfection that is, without a doubt, the best I've ever had. A truly unforgettable experience!
