Pedro Seguel VarasJuly 3, 2018The place ambience is very cool and good for concentration. Nice music. Pretty decent coffee and food, moreover considering that is 24hrs open. Friendly staff. Music on weekends.
Gets a little too crowded but that is because this place is so good. The Spicy Monkey Mocha is ridiculous and the Green friend smoothie is a must. They are gluten free friendly which is major for me.
Best coffee shop north of downtown, hands down. Friendly staff, great food and snack options, even for healthy items and gluten free! Biscotti is the BOMB. Great place for working as well.
Policarpo al FrescoJune 11, 2023This cafe has a clean ambiance that is pleasing to the senses. Their apple bacon cheese melt is delicious. Pair it with their robust coffee, and you won’t regret it!
Social News NetworkJune 14, 2012Coffee shops in Austin are CROWDED. But I usually find Monkey's Nest has a quiet, relaxing atmosphere, great for getting work done. The baristas have always been super helpful as well.
Typically crowded though they have enough seating to accommodate. Sign up for their mailing list to find out about live music. Underrated breakfast tacos.
Very respectable coffee here, and a nice menu for sustenance during prolonged laptop visits. Definitely easy to find ways to finance my stay!
Great coffee beverages- I enjoyed my sandwich. There are plenty of tables and the wifi and a/c were great. I love the location too.
RiemerResidentialApril 3, 2013Great little spot. Bring a sweater(they keep it chilly) and order the spicy monkey mocha-you wont be sorry. If you are in the mood for a smoothie, the green friend is delish!
Stacy PattonFebruary 26, 2016Coffee is fantastic, and service is friendly. Don't go there if you're in a hurry, though, good things take time.
I really like this place. I have a lot of meetings here. Great location and good coffee and food. I must if you live in Austin. Read more
If your really looking for a super boost get the 4 ton Gorilla and add it to the monkeys uncle.
Half Past NowSeptember 5, 2013Great place to meet up and get work done! They play great music and the cappuccinos are divine!
My favorite coffee shop in ATX. Great coffee, plenty of food items and wifi and outlet situation is solid
I can no longer recommend this place for an in-house experience. Coffee to go is great but the wifi never works so planned visits are always cut short so I can go someplace else
Melissa HessOctober 3, 2013I think the "iced Honey Luv Latte" is my new fav: expresso brewed into honey & ginger dusted w cinnamon w Almond milk
Soozie MacJuly 20, 2015Delicious vanilla chai latte and such a lovely environment to sip your coffee!
Don’t eat outside food here, I saw the owner kick out two undergrads for eating a bag of chips they got. Love the place for getting work done though!
Aaron TerryFebruary 22, 2013Lots of table space. Great coffee and food. Get yourself a large French Press and set some stuff done.
Guaca MollyFebruary 27, 2017Different coffee everyday, always great. Best customer service in Austin
Ally SquiresApril 28, 2013Great coffee shop to get work done - bring your comp. Also, great red velvet cake!
JoycottApril 14, 2014Fair trade. Organic. Ecofriendly. What's not to love? Share the love for Monkey Nest.
Awesome baristas, delicious food and drinks. Brown sugar latte and the Italian panini are the best!
Rawad Al-awarSeptember 15, 2016One of the only coffee shops around that charges the same price for an iced coffee and a regular coffee. It feels like a rip off at other coffee shops to pay more for iced coffee than regular coffee.- Try their green friend smoothie and add mangos and blueberries - perfect for a hot afternoon
JenniferDecember 11, 2011One of the nicest coffeeshop interiors in Austin - grab a comfy seat and relax.
Great fair trade offerings and tasty treats. Always a pleasure.
Probably the only Austin coffee shop with brewed Persian tea. Ask for a sugar cube with your tea.- JoycottApril 16, 2014Dive into a cup of java on Earth Day, and 5% of your check goes to support eco-friendly businesses.
Only 1 vegan taco option=black bean, tato, corn...starchy! But a kick ass soy chai latte
Trina H.August 20, 2011Spicy Monkey Mocha (iced) is quite tasty. Tahitian Vanilla Frappe another great choice.
