    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    If you are planning on eating here I would strongly suggest placing reservations. We did not have…read morereservations but were able to get on the list and waited about 30-40 minutes. There isn't much for seating while you are waiting but you can go grab a drink at the bar while you wait. We dined in during their Jingle Bar and the atmosphere was very festive for the Holiday Season. We would strongly suggest going during then if you are in town during the event just to experience the atmosphere. Our food was good and every bite was delicious. Our only complaint was we were seated relatively close to the live singer (they were very good) so we couldn't have a conversation without yelling, but we were also sitting in the "bar" side of the restaurant so I don't think it would have mattered.

    We had a mixed experience overall. Our waiter was absolutely incredible-attentive, friendly, and on…read moretop of everything. He handled every issue professionally, and I would absolutely request him again. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the service. I ordered the watermelon salmon salad, but it arrived without the salmon, so they had to bring it out separately after the fact. The chicken dish was the standout of the meal, it was flavorful and cooked really well. The sea bass was just okay and didn't leave much of an impression. The steak was cooked well to the requested temperature, but it lacked seasoning and could have used a lot more flavor. The service and views as we sat outside is what would bring me back, but the kitchen has some room for improvement. Great staff, average food.

    After seeing a viral video on tiktok, I knew I had to come find this place!…read more There is plenty of free parking in the lot. This place is actually a decent size but due to its popularity, it felt very crowded! So possibly plan on taking your drink to go. The service here was good and the man who made my drink was nothing short of a sweetheart! I got the raspberry cheesecake latte with oatmilk. This drink was over $11!! Not what I was expecting! Definitely the most expensive coffee I have gotten! Their menu seemed to have lots of unique and tasty coffees and items! I'd love to come back and try more. Despite the cost, the coffee was very tasty! In my opinion, this is one of the best coffee shops in the twin cities!

    Tried the banana bread oat milk latte at The Fox and Pantry and I loved it!…read more The large is definitely pricey at $9.95 (hence, my 4/5 stars) and especially considering how busy the shop gets, it's not something I'd personally order every day! But as an occasional treat, it was worth trying. The latte comes topped with cold foam, syrup drizzle, and dried banana slices, which made it feel extra fun and unique. It really did taste like banana bread in latte form. The decor inside is super cute and cozy too. Definitely a fun spot to try if you're looking for a specialty coffee drink!
