Monkey Monkey Coffee and Tea

This place has a great atmosphere and the coffee was great. The music felt more like I was at da club than the usual coffeeshop, and I like that
I recommend taking a shower before you go there.

Visited this cute coffee shop on a trip to Nola, coffee was great they even had almond milk! The staff was friendly and I would definitely come back if I lived here!

My favorite coffee shop. Super nice and helpful baristas, great coffee, all food made from SCRATCH! Their yogurt parfaits are incredible. Really cute place to hang out. I almost go here twice a day.

This is a great spot for getting work done (seating, outlets, music) and love their loose leaf peach black tea. I also tried the chicken salad sandwich, which has a lot of potential but wasn’t amazing. The bread didn’t seem too fresh and could have been toasted. Also don’t be fooled by the pickle — they make their own so it’s not a dill pickle and tastes very different (I personally didn’t like it).

Monkey Monkey is a solid spot. They don’t have the best coffee or the best pastries, but the place is never too crowded, and is one of my favorite spots to get work done. Plenty of plugins and great tunes; it stays relatively quiet, and it just has an altogether cozy atmosphere. I wish it stayed open later, but the hours are pretty standard for coffee shops. There are only a few in town that stay open til 11 or midnight. Nevertheless, if you want decent cup of coffee and a nice spot to study, read, or get any kind of work done, Monkey Monkey must be a stop for you.

Monkey Monkey is very clean, sleek, not usually too full so you can always find a seat. I love coffee shops with a couch option, so Monkey Monkey is my go-​to if I want to relax on a couch for some homework or reading. The iced coffee is delicious and the music is always amazing! Definitely a great little spot in mid-​city.

This has become my go-​to coffee joint. The Mocha Frappé is delicious and the muffins are perfect. The atmosphere is very welcoming and relaxing! I suggest everyone try this place at least once!

Neighborhood coffee joint that also serves delicious sandwiches and salads. The atmosphere is open and airy. The owner is very nice and the staff are always kind. I appreciate the coffee, but am so glad this Mid-​City place in my neighborhood has some great eats!

Cute corner coffee café in Mid City.
Service was extremely friendly.
Coffee was good. My boyfriend had a frozen coffee. He liked it, but felt the frozen coffee at PJ’s is better.
Huge down star for parking headaches. Had to walk 2 blocks.

Nice atmosphere. Ordered a large iced coffee with soy milk, vanilla, and light ice. It was OK, it made me think «earthy.»
Probably wouldn’t return unless in a pinch, but again, the service was great.

Nice little coffee shop with friendly staff. We walked out of our way to check it out because of the name and yes the place is decorated with monkey themed art.

I’ve been wanting to try this place because of two things. The name, and the fact that it’s looks to welcoming to not try at least once.
I went in on Tuesday for some pre thift shopping juice. I decided on the granita and added some Carmel. The barista suggested whipped cream and topped it off with some Carmela drizzle.
I wasn’t disappointed the prices are low, the portions are nice and its was no line.

One of my new fave spots to grab a drink and get some work done. They have a smaller menu than most which is GREAT for saving time and narrowing down what you want, all of which are tasty, my favorite being their granita with a shot of espresso.
Super friendly staff, wifi, great location, try it!

Great little spot in Midcity. The menu is short and simple, with delicious pastries and the best granita I’ve ever tasted. There was a mishap with my drink order and they didn’t hesitate to give me a brand new one and offer a complimentary pastry. Super nice staff!

First things first, the coffee is great. I ordered a large iced coffee with a couple pumps of Irish Cream and it really hit the spot. I got one of their breakfast sandwiches as well and it was pretty tasty.
In addition to having solid food and beverages, the service is truly awesome. The entire staff was a pleasure. I walked in yesterday and asked if anyone knew of a good body shop in town because I needed some work done on my car. They could have just said yes or no but instead they gave me reccomendatiobs and phone numbers. They went above and beyond. Thanks guys!

Great little find & quite refreshing. I’ve passed here several times & today was THE DAY for me to stop in and DO WHAT I DO.
The Woooooo Hoooooo:
*Location — On the hustling street of Carrollton Avenue; hello I’m a lookie-​lou
*Ample outdoor seating — no fighting for an outdoor seat
*Fair pricing is quite comparable to other coffee shops in the area
*Great attitude of the barista & cashier
*Indoors is very well lit
*Spacious interior, plenty of wiggle room
*Ample indoor seating
*Snack, lite-​bites & goodies available for munching
*Décor — love the fresh flowers on the tables, nice touch
*I loooooove that it’s NOT super duper cold in here; temperature is just right (ac & fan combo works great)
The not so Woooooo Hoooooo:
*WiFi is password protected, you have to get the password from the staff/​barista; I mean I get it they don’t want WiFi stealers; just a hassle to have to ask for it
*Parking is very scarce; you’re competing with residents & other businesses
All in all, No Monkeying Around or Monkey Business, sorry the review wouldn’t be complete without the play on words; I find this place to be a nice spot to duck in and enjoy a lite bite study & surf the net for a bit.

I’ve driven past this cute little corner café countless times, and decided to drop in for a little energy boost. I ordered a soy white chocolate mocha with hazelnut syrup added as a bonus sweet treat (read: extra worthwhile calories). It hit the spot! I’ll drop in again for more morning treats, so I can continue to go on and on the beauty of their fresh espresso.
Service was good, quick, and accurate. In other news, the shop is well-​lit with natural lit pouring through the windows, café-​style seating, and lots of monkey paintings as a part of the décor. Vibrant colors for a relaxed spot.

MONKEY MONKEY TAKE-​OUT TAKEAWAYS:
1. Affordable pastries and coffee: a large iced and muffin is less than $ 7; and
2. All sandwiches and salads average between just $ 5 and $ 6!
3. Morning Glory carrot muffin is one of their best and made fresh on-​site daily.
4. There’s seating outside overlooking Carrollton for 8, and it’s pet friendly.
5. Unassuming owner Ryan, an attractive local crowd, super cute space… I’ll be back!

Monkey Monkey Coffee and Tea? The name even makes you curious as to what awaits on the inside! Monkey Monkey café has been on my top list of must tries since it just opened and popped up into my news feed! With that being said, the café is small (but not claustrophobic), with a couch on the inside for those of you that want to get comfortable. People are sitting with their hoodies on and their laptops out, that’s how you know this is a genuine café. The place is extremely clean, and the employees are courteous as can be.
On my first visit, I decided to get a large café mocha with a cupcake to really start off the day. As I’m looking through the selection of pastries, I see a cupcake with a monkeys face on it. Now tell me, how could I resist?! Come on, it was so adorable that once I took my first bite, I almost felt bad for how the bite made its eye sideways on the icing. With the first sip from my coffee, the rich and creaminess of the mocha was mind-​blowing. Monkey Monkey, you’ll definitely be seeing me again!

Greetings from Monkey Monkey, where my banana pillow friend and I are planning a course of world domination and cake consumption. Having just finished a carrot cake parfait, I am already planning my next cake purchase. Having never consumed a cake parfait before, I can report that they are wonderful and positive ways to consume less icing and more cake in rapid succession. Whipped cream is included for the cost of your cake noms.
With deepest respect to Alvin D., I would like to disagree about the barren walls. These walls are open and free, not cluttered with mediocre café art that many of the cafes in New Orleans have fallen prey to. There is no creeping gangrene of pretension marring the wide, beautiful expanse of warm gray that fosters both glittering sunlight and easy movement of the eye around the arches and openings of the space. The geometric installation of disused outlet covers across the walls speaks to something my very soul, which means I should probably have that checked out. If hardware-​store purchases are part of my spiritual experience, this is a problem.
On a Wednesday afternoon after school, the Tina Belcher patrol (which is to say, are you an ass fan?) should be here. The parade of adorable college students, grad students, young teachers, and Taylor Hanson look-​alikes has been a non-​stop wonder. Because of my own advanced age, I am not commenting on the appearance of the high school students present, although I should note that they are shockingly well-​behaved and docile for high school students.
Were I not so busy making heart eyes and sighing happily at the cute barista with short hair, I would tell you more about all the other pretty people. But hey, at least Monkey Monkey has met their cute quotient.
The chairs – which look like they were up-​cycled from my high school cafeteria – make this feel like one of those fancy Swedish cooperative schools where students practice unschooling in groups. So sexy. Much Swedish. The wifi supports this notion, and there are a squijillion outlets. My computer can feast!
Wow, I’m effusive when I’m on a sugar high. I should do this more often. And by «this» I mean «come to Monkey Monkey.»
Accessibility notes: door opens out. Low counter. One restroom is up several stairs. Gender-​neutral restrooms. No Braille menu or signage. Can get loud at peak hours. Well-​lit.
