This place is very cool...very cool indeed…read more A rating of five stars, based on atmosphere alone, would be appropriate! Obviously the theme is richly macabre. The spirit of Edgar Allan Poe, and Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega version) would find themselves very much at home in Nocturnal! Fortunately, the appeal of this place goes well beyond its cool vibe. The coffee is great. It's potent. It more than satisfied my incessant desire for STRONG FLAVORS! The other drinks that I tried were excellent as well. I didn't try any pastries or other snacks, but I have to admit that they looked very tempting. At first I would have thought that this place seems a little out of place in downtown Monroe. But after coming here a few times, and checking out the very interesting crowd, I realize that I was mistaken. I'll definitely be back, and I'll bring the wife. She'll love it too. Five stars!!

Like I said.....a.....vibe......They were playing industrial rock music which is also a choice for 9 am. The building is neat. Exposed brick and the decorative touches give this place a New Orleans feel. I really enjoyed it. The coffee and service were both very good. I had a latte and it was quite smooth. I would definitely recommend it. You can add flavor for a small charge but I just had it plain. We also ordered a peanut butter explosion cookie. Wow was it rich and decadent. We couldn't finish it but I loved the peanut butter whip on top. So good! If I lived in the area I would be a regular. Highly recommended.

The shop is so cute and all of the items looked delicious! We had a difficult time deciding what to bring home and the staff was very helpful with recommendations. I will dream of their lemon crinkle cookie until I can visit again. It was delicious, as was the fruit pizza cookie. We also ordered a 6" cherry chip cake which was good especially if you love icing. I removed some and still enjoyed the cake. They also offer savory items which I'll try the next time we visit.

I've had some pretty bad ones in the past that leave an after taste and overall not really worth it. Well the dairy free ice cream here is superior, hands down! Absolutely spot on!! What a nice experience. I'm always grateful when there is a good dairy free alternative, I don't feel like I'm missing out. I will say, the machine was giving the employees an issue so it may either be a bit of a wait for this ice cream (I imagine the consistency in the machine is just thicker or something). However, instead of giving up after a couple minutes of struggling with the machine and refunding me, they actually spent the time on getting me what I was so looking forward to trying! What an amazing team, I find that to be such a nice quality in a place and I am so grateful!! My boyfriend got a chocolate m&ms cup and said it was really good, also! We are excited to try other flavors! I noticed there isn't really a menu posted online, so I took photos while at the cute little building this is located in. Love this place, everyone was so kind and considerate!

You can feel the history as soon as you walk in, with the vintage look, old photos and classic ice cream counter. We stopped in with a party of six and the service was excellent.

They have cones, sundaes, shakes, malts, floats, soft serve and more. They also have a drive-through and a small old-school supermarket selling milk, drinks, snacks and groceries. Such a cool and unique local place. Great service, great prices and great ice cream. We would absolutely come back!

Me and my wife found this place on Detroit food Review channel on YouTube…read more So we made the trek 39 minutes outside of Monroe. One of the best decisions we have made since we have went 4 times overall and they have jot failed us once. We share the fratalian sub and their version of the margarita pizza they have a nice pesto on there's is it traditional Neapolitan no but it's not supposed to be. We pick it up and we eat it in our car down by the raisin river. It's no big deal for us eating in our car since we do this often sharing meals and avoiding eating in and having to leave a tip. Because this place does not offer indoor eating. One review said it was dirty inside I think if we all walked back into any kitchen at many restaurants we would find the same thing. But they clean up at the end of the day not during this did not bother us a bit. We will be back sooner then later
