I like old fashion bakery with cupcakes and cake especially carrot cake not just the trendy stuff. They have both. I got 2 mini cupcakes and a piece of carrot cake. They were well above average and worth the cost. The service was friendly and helpful. They had plenty of parking and it was easy to get in and out to major roads. I will be back when I am in Monroe.

You are always greeted with a welcome when you walk in and never rushed through choosing amongst their many delicious dessert offerings. The eclair, carrot cake, cannoli and lobster tails are always a favorite. And the mini cheesecake bites, especially the banana pudding one, so very good, and a great value in my opinion for it all. Prices are very resonable and in this economy that is appreciated. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I had my first match here. At the time it was a special, banana pudding matcha. It was so delicious. After that I was hooked. My order was always a banana pudding matcha with oat milk, and strawberry syrup. That was one of the best drinks I have ever had. The banana with the matcha, with the strawberry was just an absolute delight and hard to not drink all at once. Now the special is blueberry cheesecake, and it is also a wonderful drink. Highly recommend trying this little cute shop.

I just so happened to be within 5 minutes of Monica's, so I decided to give it a try. It was about 10ish AM when I arrived, and as I had expected, if this place had good offerings, most everything would be gone - I was correct, most everything was already sold out. Bad luck for me, but a good indicator Monica's may be a good one. A very small establishment with no indoor seating. The person who helped me make my choices had a couple great recommendations - the blueberry donut and apple fitter. Both were very good. A very airy texture as the fritter was almost like a soft bread or dinner role - very well done. The blueberry donut was also very tasty. Not al all like many other "fruit" flavored donuts, you definitely could taste blueberry in every bite. Also 2-thumbs up! Donut sizes were larger than most, and did not have dense consistency. Prices were fair for what you received. Thank you Monica's for taking care of my donut craving in fine fashion! Keep up the good work.

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!!

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
