First time here today, and it won't be my last! I can't believe I passed by Grey & Cash so many…read moretimes and never thought it would be a breakfast/lunch/coffee spot. Haha, was it just me, because I thought it was a fancy wealth management firm because of their name? The look of historic Monrovia may have done the visual trickery for me. Nonetheless, I am so 1000% happier that it is not a wealth management firm, and it is an amazing food and coffee spot in the heart of Monrovia! My bestie recommended this place to meet up to do some teleworking, and it's the perfect place to do so. They have lots of tables and outlets to cowork in the place, and they are spaced pretty far apart, so you can have your own conversation without hearing the other table. Their WiFi speed was fast, too! They also have an awesome menu with specialty drinks and food items like sandwiches, toasts, and salads. Plus, they have a beautiful display case to showcase their pastries. I got a Matcha Latte and their Salmon Lox Bagel Sandwich $14. They really packed the salmon and cream cheese filling in my sandwich, too! Their prices are normal for the area: 2 drinks and 2 sandwiches were close to $60 with tip. The staff are all so friendly and were busy making all the drinks, but also looked so happy working there together! They were lovely to interact with and went around to clean our table, and make sure we were doing okay. I would definitely come back here to telework and enjoy more of their delicious drinks and sandwiches!

This is one of my go-to spots for work, coffee and breakfast…read more Located in Monrovia, the inside is simple and unpretentious. Not your typical instagram spot ! Lol I got a 16 once iced Oatmilk latte and their Monroe breakfast sandwich . This is one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches. It has bacon, eggs , greens and a secret sauce on ciabatta bread. Simply delicious! Service is mostly self service.

I've been coming to Goki Cafe for years, and it's easily one of my favorite coffee spots. This…read morefamily-owned, Oaxacan-inspired café sources many of its ingredients directly from Mexico, and you can truly taste the care they put into everything they make. Today I finally tried their Oaxacan Chilaquiles, made with organic corn from Mexico, homemade salsa verde, and two eggs, and they were absolutely delicious! If you visit, I also highly recommend the Goki Mocha, made with rich Oaxacan chocolate. It's been my favorite drink there for years. The service is always wonderful, and you can tell this place is built with so much love and heart. The family is incredibly kind, and I love supporting their business. If you're in the area, definitely give Goki Cafe a try!

Goki is a coffee/tea shop that specializes in Mexican inspired drinks, pastries, and baked goods…read more Milk alternatives are available and this cafe is known for their spacious dining room with comfortable chairs and tables to work or relax. There is a small parking lot to park in. I love the bright colors and inviting decor. Drinks: I've tried their horchata latte and goki latte. I enjoyed the boldness of the coffee. It is strong enough to taste through the milk and other flavors in each drink. I haven't tried their baked goods yet but one day I will. Definitely recommend the Goki latte. Service/Ambiance: Family owned coffee shop, which can be felt through the staff and interactions. Great place to come to if you have toddlers that enjoy watching the trains. Overall, I would recommend Goki for their warm and welcoming ambiance and delicious coffee drinks.

It's an easy-to-miss spot, but if you see their sign, take a right and go up the ramp…read more I had such a good experience at Black Cat Cafe! The place is so cute, and I loved the atmosphere. I ordered "A Tale of Two Kitties," and it was so good! It tasted like a mix of milk tea and coffee, which I really enjoyed. The drink was definitely the highlight of my visit. I would absolutely come back and get it again! I'd also recommend this cafe to friends and family, especially anyone who loves cute cafes and wants to try a delicious drink.

Such a cute little hidden gem! ‍ It's easy to miss unless you're walking by and happen to notice…read morethe sign pointing you down the alley. Once you find it, though, you're greeted by this cozy little coffee and book shop that feels like a secret hideaway. They have a really nice selection of books to browse or buy while enjoying a drink, with a handful of seating options: from regular tables to comfy chairs and sofas. It's the kind of place where you could easily lose track of time and accidentally spend a few hours reading. I ordered an espresso over ice, and honestly... their coffee is pretty damn good. I wasn't expecting much from a place that doesn't primarily specialize in coffee, but I was pleasantly surprised. The jasmine green tea was also really good and refreshing, especially on a hot summer day. The ambiance is probably my favorite part--quiet, cozy, and inviting without feeling too stuffy. Definitely a great little spot to escape to, grab a drink, and browse some books. Would absolutely come back!

We went for brunch on a Sunday mid morning... And wow! It was very busy. We had to put out name…read moredown and waited for about 35 minutes. We were seated and a friendly server came by to ask what we would like to drink. We ordered a mocha latte and a coffee. Both drinks were quite good. The atmosphere was quite rustic and traditional barn/home style interior with crowded customers chatting away. The sound level was a little bit on the loud side, but it was too be expected. We ordered the Breakfast burrito with apple wood smoked bacon with breakfast potatoes as the side. We also ordered the Nuts & Bolts with apple wood smoked bacon with crispy scalloped potatoes and cornbread. Everything was good. Breakfast potatoes appeared to be deep fried which I did not expect. I actually love my breakfast potatoes cooked and browned on a cast iron pan. Even though the place was packed, service was good. Or server kept checking on us and brought more coffee for me couple times before I ran out. I would come back for sure.

I went to enjoy a Sunday Brunch and was not disappointed. I had the Brisket Melt with fruit and…read moreunlimited mimosas. We met the manager Morgan who was happy to meet, greet, and ensure customer satisfaction. A must to check out in the beautiful city of Monrovia.
