My girlfriend said the coffee was very good. She also liked the Monkey Cristo sandwich and my omelette was very good as well. Cool vibe. A bit of a wait even for a week day morning but it was worth it. read more

Good coffee, if the upstairs is closed don't try to go and work there because the 1 outlet downstairs doesn't work.

This morning was my first time at a Frothy Monkey. The building itself is cool, with a huge porch on the front. We were seated inside right away. (Great for a Saturday in the summer!) The inside atmosphere was just average. The service was decent, and the menu had a nice variety of breakfast choices. My meal was a mix of good and not-so-good: I had drip coffee, which tasted sour. The sausage patties were really good, and the cheese grits were delicious. The sourdough toast was hard and crusty, and the eggs were rubbery. Overall, I would go again for convenience sake, but I wouldn't seek it out or recommend it. read more

I was hoping to find a cozy spot to work in the upstairs area, but the main space is currently dine-in only. They do have a place to order to-go to the left of the hostess stand. I ordered a bourbon butterscotch latte to go and sat on the porch for awhile. They have a great outdoor space for people watching. read more

What in the world were they thinking to serve this as a pice of caramel pie ? I waited an extra 10 minutes for someone to serve this up . read more

Frothy Monkey - This is scrap at the bottom of a pie pan - - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

The coffee was nice but the workers (not all mind you), especially those we first encountered, were a bit rude. We were told that no table was available since we weren't ordering food. It was 40 degrees outside, we had an infant with us and we all had ordered a specialty coffee. We had spent a good bit but that didn't seem to matter . One in our group ordered a danish, didn't qualify as food though. Won't recommend & most like won't ever come back. Very disappointed read more

We came for wine down Wednesday which was such an awesome event. You got three practically full sized wine glasses and a plate of cheese. The cheese plate was a lot, I could have split it with another person but we had leftovers which was fun. I would add meat next time I came to even out eating that much cheese read more

The staff has NO IDEA what customer service is. Extremely rude, no eye contact, very curt. In addition, they had one barista working, he's the ONLY REASON this isn't a one star review. 5 people at the front counter and only one register working. We came in from out of town and went here because of the reviews. I wonder if they bought the fake reviews from the same company that Amazon did. As a Southern raised man, the lack of simple courtesy astounds me. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone until the owners teach their staff customer service skills and Southern manners. read more

The staff here is amazing! Charming place, great coffee and food. Refreshing vibe in downtown Franklin.

just moved to Nashville from SoCal, this is what I was looking for the golden turmeric is not too earthy. The Havana was good as well. not mind blowing, but pretty good and I would come back read more

Frothy Monkey - Vanilla Latte with Oatmilk to-go - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Had been here before and was looking forward. I'm from Illinois and heading for Arizona. Wanted to try some specialty coffee and then purchase some for my road trip. I ordered a pour-over; unfortunately, I was told they were out of filters! How's that for a high class coffee shop. Then my eggs came without me andouille hash. Don't really want cold eggs with the rest of my meal later. The place is not all that busy. No apology. No smiles. read more

Wonderful location, friendly staff, top quality espresso drinks and good shortbread cookies. Wonderful coffee shop (and restaurant). Look forward to many more visits. A bit spendy but high quality. read more

First time at this location. Been to the others and the coffee is the uplifting delicious eye opener you know you need. The service was snarky and snobbish. Want to know what it feels like to be the unpopular kid in school. (Or be reminded) here is your spot! The coffee may be worth it but there are so many more inviting coffee places without it the dry pastries and attitude. read more

Frothy Monkey is great! I love their lattes - they have unique flavor combinations and really good coffee. Their snacks/pastries are good as well and it's nice that there's a good amount of consistency in the preparations across locations. Definitely quickly became my go to coffee choice! read more

First-time patron. The place was busy, so I was excited to try something new. I was disappointed in the food we were served. We were there for breakfast. We ordered the omelets and a sandwich. Everything was in small portions. The omelets were very small and thin, and the sandwich was like something I would make at home on a diet. Maybe we had a bad day, and I will try it again. But I won't be in a hurry to rush back. I gave this a 3-star since it was just OK. I would seek other options first, which would be a secondary consideration. read more

How dare people not give this dive a five star review. What's not to love?! The charming and inviting atmosphere? The whimsical twists on classic eats? The clever logo and hash? #butfirstfrothy I'm won over. First time in Franklin, already in love. read more

Such a cool place. Food is great and coffee is fantastic. It's an old house converted into a restaurant, very cool.

Love to get coffee beans and have them ground for cold brew. Have to get my cappuccino or a chai tea while I'm there. Nice place to hang out and my teens enjoy meeting up with friends at FM. Always had good service. read more

This was my first visit and will be my last. It started with I'll text you when your table is ready. They forgot to text me. Once seated, we ordered coffee, they forgot my latte, everyone else got theirs. 10 mins later, I got up and asked for it, they brought it in a paper cup and said they ran out of cups. What???? Wash a cup. We all ordered breakfast with toast. Our food was cold and didn't have the toast. She said because it didn't come with the breakfast she guessed we didn't want it. We said we did. It arrived at least 10 mins after we finished. We asked for coffee refills and never got that. She also didn't come to pick up the check, we had to get up and take it to the hostess. So, poor service and cold food prompts me to give this restaurant one star. I am sure they are short staffed like every where else. This is unfortunate. read more

I love Frothy Monkey! While in town today, I picked up a hot Havana Latte and an iced Spice Spice Baby. Both were delish and one of a kind drinks that I can't find elsewhere. I love their uniqueness. read more

We waited a short time and got a table for two. Ordered a cortado and it was spot on. Wife had "the best tea ever". Food was delicious and fresh. Thank you for breakfast. read more

I am a big frothy monkey fan. Go to 12th and Chattanooga all the time. This location is terrible. Coffee took 45 min to get. Food another 30 min. Huevos rancheros was worst I have ever seen. Bacon raw. Grits were chunky no flavor waste of money. Avoid this location read more

I love the Frothy Monkey! I always find the food fresh and the coffee selections are amazing.

The downtown Franklin, TN location features great coffee, tasty food, and a truly warm environment.

The other morning I decided to treat myself to breakfast at this well-established & much- loved establishment. (I like to support the locals whenever possible.) I had just enough time on a rainy Friday morning to grab a bite, enjoy it and head on to work. With a perfect parking spot, I went to the coffee bar/restaurant & was told there was was a ten minute await to sit inside, no upstairs seating available b/c not enough staff ( I understand), or I could sit outside on the ample and well-protected front porch area. I ordered, paid, tipped well in the cash jar & went outside to grab a table. Moments later, my breakfast appeared in a to go box w/ napkins & plastic-ware. To my surprise, I said," Oh! I didn't order 'to go', but to eat here." I was told, "you eta outside and its to go". Yikes! I was in time-out!? Because I chose not to wait for an inside table?? I knew I had just enough time to make this work, but seriously?? Needless to say, managing avocado "toast" (read: soft bread with a mere spread of avocado plus veggies & my requested eggs, cold by the time they arrived in the neatly folded brown box) w/plastic-ware was a feat! I should have asked for a plate but thought I'd be dismissed. I did go find real tableware. The coffee, whatever was the day's brew, was extremely hot & harsh-tasting. I carved my way thru the soft "toast" and eggs, did my best not to drop bites on my rain gear, finished, took my disposables to the trash & tableware inside to the hostess, and left. No thank you, Frothy Monkey, Franklin! read more

Seating is outside only right now, but with the breeze we could've sat there all day! The cheese plate, ice coffee with hazelnut, Ned sandwich, quinoa black bean burger were all fantastic! The banana pudding was like heaven in a glass and they always make the cappuccinos almost too beautiful to drink! The exposed brick is beautiful here and it's a lovely spot to relax and enjoy an afternoon meal! read more

I love everything about frothy. The atmosphere, the coffee, the food, the service. Every single thing about the experience is always pleasant. The staff is very attentive and very personable. It's nice to interact with workers who seem to care about what they do and the people they serve. Also the food is always fresh... It seems to be a healthier/heartier option but doesn't break the bank. I have not ordered an item off the menu and been disappointed. They also usually have a rotating desert offering available near the cash register which I take advantage of far too often! :-) It's a great spot for meetings, casual dates, sitting down to grab a quick lunch and get some emails knocked out... It's pretty much a great spot for any reason. Also a great location right in the heart of downtown Franklin. You can't go wrong! read more

The gentleman that took our order was friendly and answered our questions. I ended up ordering the White Monkey Mocha which is a White Chocolate Mocha with a hint of banana... sounds odd but it's SSSOOOO delish!! This also went perfectly with my banana bread from Noi's. Since this was my first time, I didn't know they a large variety of desserts. This is good to know for the next time. :) They had a nice wrap-around patio with plenty of seating as well as plenty of seating inside. read more

I've been wanting to try this spot for a while. I went on a Sunday morning and it was completely packed so I assumed it must be good. I ordered a chai latte with coconut milk and a smoked salmon bagel. I was told the wait time for the bagel was an hour which seemed a bit excessive for something that doesn't require cooking. The latte was delicious and they got my food out in 20 minutes so that was good. I was underwhelmed with the food. But the latte was great amd the atmosphere is very nice. read more

Food was good, not great. But...service was dreadfully poor. Not a single smile from an employee whole time we were there. They quoted us 15 min wait and we waited 45. Hostess was rude and unhelpful. Waitress seemed "in a daze". Grits are 100% from a box. read more

Everyone kept talking about this place, so I wanted to check it out for myself. We got seated outside right away (11am), but there was a wait for inside seating. The staff was very kind. Unfortunately we waited a while for our food, but when we got it it was delicious!! I got the Rosemary honey latte; it was good, but a little too sweet for my liking. All in all, I had a good experience and I will be coming back. read more

I used to love this place, I would grab coffee and breakfast any time the opportunity presented itself. Today they messed up. Food was decent, coffee great, bill = crazy! These guys decided that when their service staff splash half and half into my coffee, they get to charge $1. To the owners: I realize you're hurting from rona, but please learn a lesson: your repeat customers are only coming back if you keep them happy. Pissing them off is an amateur business move. Nice knowing you. read more

Wow! What an incredible find in the Franklin area. We were blown away by their Shrimp-and-grits. Not expecting much, we ordered that southern, familiar food, and we were surprised to receive a beautifully spiced, ornately laid out dish with large shrimp and barley grits. A great, healthy dish with amazing flavor! We requested that the dish be split into two plates, so the picture attached is of a half portion :) We also ordered two specialty drinks. The talk green one is a matcha-based seltzer with housemate raspberry syrup. Delicious and refreshing, especially in the context of Summer Tennessee. We enjoyed the fast food prep time, the aesthetics and display, the great service, the amazing taste, the location, and the price. Great find. read more

It all started one night at a wine tasting event at the Factory in Franklin. There were several tables with food from different local restaurants. The food from Frothy Monkey's table was my favorite. Scott was working that night and said I should stop in the restaurant. I'm now addicted to this place. I stop in every Friday morning and get breakfast to go. I've had almost everything on the breakfast menu! My favorite is the Farm Breakfast with eggs, bacon, roasted red potatoes, and toast. This is the best bacon and potatoes are my favorite breakfast food. Sometimes I get the special as it is always exciting and delicious no matter what it is. My coworkers and I decided to check out their lunch options since breakfast is always so good. I love chicken salad so I ordered the Betsy which is chicken salad with cranberries served on sourdough. I can't wait to try the rest of the lunch menu. My husband and I had dinner here awhile back but I can't remember what I ate that night. I just remember it being an awesome date night. It just means we will have to dine here more. Everyone is very friendly here. The service is awesome. The prices are amazing for the quality of the food. This is now my favorite place to eat in Franklin thanks to Scott. He even recognizes me when I stop in on Friday morning for my breakfast. read more

The 2 times I've been to Tennessee as an adult I find myself searching for a Frothy Monkey nearby. This is what coffee shops in Hallmark movies are made of... artisan coffees infused with herbs like rosemary, the smell of freshly baked desserts, and lots of space so you can sip your coffee undisturbed. There's never been a coffee or dessert from the Frothy Monkey that I didn't like. If you're open to trying new flavors there's definitely something for you. If the have the banana snickerdoodle pudding GET IT, you won't the regret it. read more
