    We saw the movie IF and after crying at the movie I needed a coffee pick me up. The service was so friendly and very helpful. I had the lucky monkey and my husband had the nutty monkey and we split a cinnamon roll. Cute seating inside and gorgeous pottery for sale. We also bought two mugs we are using for coffee at home.

    Such a quaint and local coffee place in downtown Waconia. Loved the array of coffee, latte and mocha choices. The staff were relaxed and polite. I appreciated that because we were drinking our coffee there, I was able to get a beautiful hand crafted mug. The quiche was phenomenal and was perfect size for 2 people to share.

    Best coffee shop around town! I grew up in Waconia so I remember when the downtown location was the only one! Make sure to check our their monthly specials if you want to try something new. Mocha monkey is the perfect place to get ahead on homework! Jon is also an experienced pottery maker so if you need a gift idea stop in and check out their mugs! Not a coffee drinker? They have Italian soda and you can choose any syrup to add and make it your own!

    Mocha Monkey is a staple of Waconia. Never disappointed with their drinks and good vibes all around. I usually go with the americano, but I switched it up and tried the Rhesus Monkey Mocha which was phenomenal. Great place to catch up with friends and family!!

    After hearing so many good things about this place, I had to stop in when I had a few minutes in the area. Now, I wish I lived closer. I got the Lucky Monkey, which is white chocolate and mint, made with oat milk. It was amazing! So creamy and delicious. The espresso was nice and smooth. Price was great. I didn't have time to sit down inside, but it was gorgeous in there, and if I were a local, I'd be there all the time.

    So another fiver for MM a refreshing surprise in downtown Waconia. I was expecting something cool as I recently saw a TV story on innovative small businesses and this place was highlighted. In a well preserved old green house there is counter seating with a window view and a few tables, but there is more seating up the wooden stair case. Check the huge wall menu which is all but a mural. A large pastry case and made to order items. It was warm, (both temperature and genial) and they own a drive through in Waconia and another shop in St. Bonifacius. Air pot coffee which I usually approach carefully but the brew was hot and fresh.

    The Iced Mocha I ordered was Warm. Not at all cold. Disappointing. Don't think they are very adroit @ iced coffee drinks. Location makes bank runs with children a lil more tolerable. #CheatCode bribe the kids with a Rice crispy treat lol

    Cute local coffee shop with some pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and gelato! I love the inside and that they support local artists with their pottery as small wood tables. The jungle mocha was delicious and I also really liked their cold press coffee. Excited to return for some gelato and chill in their spacious upstairs for work!

    Customer service is amazing!! Their passion and actually…read morewanting to be there is very impressive! I do think this place is not for me. That's why I gave it a three star but I do think for people who like iced coffee this is your jam. So please try this for yourself. This is not a place to get a hot black coffee in my opinion. To defend them they have one or two drip coffees every day for a very cheap price! They did bring me fresh coffee. I was just very unimpressed. Being so close to the Starbucks I definitely should've gone to that location for a hot coffee. This place looks like they are really good if you like iced coffee and you like to add milk and sugar and flavoring I think this is the place for you. I have no problem trying the hot coffee again. It could've just been a one off, but it was fresh and it was very watery and didn't have really any flavor.:( Overall, I just feel this place is not for me so please go here if you love iced coffee and specialty drinks. I think this location is great for that. And the customer service is amazing.

    The place is quite cute and looks really good and when we mobile orders it took like 2 seconds to…read moreget are drinks and the workers where really nice and made a funny joke to scoot are way to the next window which I thought was hilarious the drink I got was some blue raspberry soda that was really great and even had a sticker on top of it this place was great and I'm gonna scoot my way into giving it 5 stars .

    Wonderful breakfast here right downtown in Waconia! The service was great. Super cute cafe. Lots of…read moreoptions to pick from. The corned beef egg Benedict and a tomato basil Margherita omelette were both unique and delicious! We'd definitely stop here again if we were in the area. My son also enjoyed his breakfast off the kids menu.

Thankfully we arrived right in front of a rush and only waited 5 minutes before being escorted upstairs to a fairly isolated table. The ambience is old-school-diner and the service is back-to-basics. No overwhelming friendliness or chatty interchanges. They all just keep moving, working and trying to keep up. It's not a big restaurant, even with the upstairs seating -- maybe 25-30 patrons per level and I counted at least 9 employees. That's a high ratio. That said, service was slow. We waited longer than I would have expected to have our order taken (10+ minutes), but that's really my only gripe. It's not enough to lose a star though -- and like I said, it's all worth the wait. The food is incredible. That's why you are here. The serving sizes are generous. The food comes out hot. And the flavors are excellent. I enjoyed a corned beef and hash -- substituting the country potatoes for crispy hashbrowns, topped with scrambled eggs and my date enjoyed a kitchen sink omelette with hashbrowns. We both LOVED our choices and I'll just highlight -- the corned beef is slow cooked (8 hours) and chunky. It's incredible. We talked about how we needed to bring our family and friends to the little gem of a diner.
