Generally speaking, I enjoy the vibes in this cute little coffee shop. Maybe it's my appreciation for the plants placed all around, maybe it's the fun of having a piano near the window... I don't know. I appreciate that it feels relaxed though. My friend and I each ordered honey lavender lattes (which aren't large at all), while my friend ordered a berry muffin and I got a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich. Those four items together + tip (20%) came to $30.10... which was far too expensive for lattes that lacked in flavor, a rather small breakfast sandwich, and a muffin that was more "meh" in comparison to something my friend or I could have just picked up from Wegmans up the road. In terms of service, it was just... lacking? Nobody was rude or anything, but they weren't warm or inviting either. For what I'd typically consider to be a nice little neighborhood coffee shop, nobody working there seemed engaged or mindful of the "community" aspect of the service experience. TL;DR No neighborhood coffee shop thrives on chill ambience alone, and there's not enough here in terms of delicious eats, tasty treats, or flavorful drinks to make me want to make a return visit. :-/ read more

We hadn't been here in years, but we thought we would try after our walk by the lake. My daughter ordered a honey lavender iced latte. It was so strong that it tasted like perfume and was a tad bitter. My nitro coffee was ok. We ordered a breakfast burrito but it seemed to lack seasoning. There was a tiny bit of hot sauce but the potatoes seemed like they were microwaved and it just overall did not have a very good flavor. We do think the air conditioning up was really high and we were really cold. The staff was not very friendly. They were not rude, but they just weren't very welcoming. read more

I came here with my partner and we ordered two Iced lattes one caramel and one brown sugar cardamom. This total came to 14$ and the drinks aren't very large. They also don't taste very good. I thought mine was caramel and his lacked almost all flavor all together. We came home and added more to our drinks to improve the taste but agreed we wouldn't return. The service was mid at best they weren't rude but also weren't very warm either especially the barista. The ambiance was nice atleast. It's cute in there if that's all you're looking for in a coffee shop then check it out lol. read more

Super cute coffee shop with delicious food and coffee! They make their own coffee syrups in house and you can tell. Their lavender honey latte is to die for! I also loved the banh mi breakfast sandwich. Homemade English muffin, fresh pickled vegetables, a fried egg and cilantro sauce made for the perfect, fresh sandwich to start your day. The staff is also super sweet and the ambiance is gorgeous - filled with plants and local art! If you're in the area, definitely stop by! read more

This delightful neighborhood coffee shop is so special to me as we moved to Geneva in January. It's walking distance from my house. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The coffee is smooth with a great robust flavor. The cheese chive scone is incredible! Made by one of their talented bakers, Gabby Don't miss this place read more

What a great little place for breakfast and coffee we loved it here! The food and drinks were tasty and unique and we enjoyed the vibe with lots of greenery and open bright interior. Prices and staff were great and everybody was very friendly! There is a small bit of parking out front and more on street as needed. The Bahn mi was amazing and the cubano was very good as well. Their pastries were so so so good and fresh in house made no doubt about that. Loved it recommended to anybody we'll be back! read more

This is a rather nice little surprise that was about a minute from our Airbnb. The inside is pretty large with all sorts of plants, tables a few leather couches a chessboard and more. They offer different breakfast sandwiches and different coffee drinks you can get hot or iced. We went on a Monday granted it was a holiday but it was busy. My friend and I both got the breakfast sandwich and I added bacon to mine. It's made with XL English Muffins toasted (made by Amazing Grains it's in Fairport, NY) it has egg, goat cheese and sprouts it was really tasty and hit the spot. I got a seasonal coffee drink and my friend an iced coffee. They also have outdoor seating which was lovely on this early summer morning. Staff is friendly but slightly harried as they are busy. If your in the area give them a whirl. It's in a girly residential area they have minimal parking. read more

Was in the area and craving a breakfast sandwich, this place came up, so I dropped in. Tons of snobby, hipster vibes going on in here, looks of staring. Changed my mind to their breakfast burrito once I took a look at the menu - almost everyone in here was eating breakfast sandwiches instead. It wasn't great, and it wasn't horrendous either. The scrambled eggs were cubed for some reason, which felt strange. The home fries weren't home fries at all, they were more like very mushy strings - maybe Geneva has a different idea of what home fries are supposed to be? They added minimal bacon and cheddar. The chipotle sauce was yummy, but also very sparse. Idk what hot sauce they had on the condiment counter, but it was great and saved this burrito. Not a mind blowing experience, I'd look elsewhere for a quick breakfast when I'm in the area again. read more

Friendly service and seasonal special drinks They had a decent food menu. Not many options but enough to satisfy just about anyone. I got the avocado toast and it was just alright nothing special. The coffee on the other hand was the winner. I got one of the seasonal specials that included honey, brown sugar, and cinnamon it was 10/10. Cute spot. Great for studying or just having some relaxing time read more

Can I live in here? The most delicious coffee ever. Also to note, I was turned on to adding honey and lavender as a sweetener for my matcha latte by the barista (bless her soul) + oat milk for creamy goodness. I look for this combination everywhere now. The breakfast sandwiches and burritos are well crafted with quality ingredients (the cheese especially). The granola bowl is probably, definitely the best I have ever had. Sounds like a mediocre breakfast, but I promise you the fruit was as sweet as ever with yummy yogurt (and who really loves yogurt...) -- so very filling! Cool vibes for the college kiddos. read more

Probably the best coffee in Geneva. Good atmosphere and service. Food is pretty good too.

People here are the best. Customers also really nice great coffee ! Came there to see Hobart and William Smith and was very impressed

Excellent breakfast sandwich and iced latte. Everyone I was with was very happy with their sandwiches. Inventive combinations. I had fried egg, goat cheese and greens on some really excellent bread. My husband loved the Cuban breakfast sandwich. We also had a green smoothie that toddler loved. Highly recommend. read more

This is a wonderful little coffee shop in Geneva. We don't have many options for coffee in the area other than Dunkin', so it's extremely nice to have a good quality cafe to get you caffeine fix. On top of that, every time we've been here, the ladies behind the counter have been very friendly and helpful toward me and my wife. I've even purchased beans from them to make my coffee at home and it's always come out excellent. Along with their great drinks, the food they make is quite good as well. I'm a huge fan of their goat cheese and honey toast and my wife absolutely loves their breakfast sandwich. I love the goat cheese toast's light, cream texture with that signature tang, which pairs perfectly with the sweetness and unique flavor profile of honey. The walnuts on top are an excellent addition for a soft crunch texture, as well. It's a nice, light way to start my day. With all that being said, the only things keeping this from being a 5-star review are the lack of regular coffee options and the fact they seem to run out of ingredients quite often. This place does a lot of espresso and tea based drinks, which are awesome, but I wish they offered more options than just drip coffee. If they offered a French press or a pour-over option, I'd be way more inclined to come here in the mornings. They seem to have access to quality beans, I just wish they offered more than just drip coffee to express the nuances in their flavor. I use their beans to do a French press in the morning at home and I love it, I'd like to see similar options when I go out. Then, when I order my food and drinks here, I always have to make sure to have a back up option for both because every time I've come here, they've been out of some component of what I initially want. Again, I haven't had a bad experience here, the food and drinks are fantastic, but there are some minor setbacks for this place that can be pretty easily fixed. Overall, it's my personal favorite coffee spot in Geneva and it's definitely worth checking out. read more

Kind of a student place but it's great an most of all they really make a great coffee. Unfortunately in the US a lot of places do not care enough about matching the grinding grad with the coffee machine - even when they have good quality coffee (beans). But they do it right here. Compliments. By the way the muffin from the next door bakery was very good too. read more

Visited this coffee shop several times while visiting Geneva. While I was rooting for it, especially given the fact it's really the only one in town it fell pretty short. Beside the coffee being brewed and/or roasted to death and the pastry tasting like it'd been sitting out for several days the service was rough. The first time I'd stopped for two small cups of black coffee it took 15 minutes, which is not something I've experienced at the many coffee shops I've frequented. In an effort to give the place a fair shake, I went back for another small, black cup of coffee to go. This time things were looking up as I placed my order and the person who took it grabbed a cup and turned around to fulfill my order. Unfortunately, after trying three different coffee urns she turned and said they were out of coffee and it'd 10 minutes before more would be ready. That turned to more than 15 minutes before I was called up to get my coffee. The staff was friendly the whole time, but they just need to work through a better order process or something. read more

Great coffee. Very cool vibe. Fantastic staff. Classic coffee shop that you want to visit!

Great coffee with the cutest plants and vibes. Lots of fun local art and decor which makes it feel homey. They have a few food items but we came around noon so they ran out of a lot of ingredients, which was a bummer. My friend and I each got coffee and a toast. They are pretty busy with local students and residents that roll through. There are plenty of seating options and a small bathroom so it is study/work friendly. read more

Coffee wasn't rich tasting. We had a latte, 3- shot tall, and a red eye, ordered 10 oz got a tall. Both were ok but not great. Service iffy, (note wrong size for red eye). Coffee was poured, barista waited on 2 people before pulling the espresso. We sat outside but the inside looked nice, comfortable and cozy. read more

Among the three coffee houses in Geneva, Monaco's is the worst. They could learn much from the other two, namely, Grounded and Empire Coffee. Those 2 places are so far superior to Monaco's that I'll never be back. Unlike the owners of Grounded and Empire Coffee, Monaco's owner ... when he's there, which is infrequent .. is not remotely welcoming or friendly. The coffee house has little atmosphere. It certainly is not warm or homey. Lastly, the coffee is nothing special ... which can be said for Monaco's overall. Nothing special. read more

Otherworldly. I have had hundreds of lavender lattes in my lifetime and this is easily top two. (They make their own syrup!) the inside aesthetic is perfect! I took so many pictures I couldn't help myself. If you are wondering if it is worth an hour drive if you are staying at a different lake the answer is YES! Okay read more

I was visiting the area during the vacation with my family, and found this coffee shop for an afternoon wake-up espresso, and it was delicious! I saw many mixed review about this place, and majorly the con is the understaffing situation. We came at around 1PM on a Tuesday so we had no problem with the waiting time. I can tell though, because there was only one kid working and there were customers walking in pretty frequently. I feel bad for him but his coffee was smooth and delicious! He was also very friendly and nice. The interior was nice and playful. The atmosphere was good. The parking was convenient. I wish this place well and improve their service condition. Because the quality of the bean and the brewing is excellent! read more

Vibe of a coffee shop at Seneca Lake! Nice staff and great seating options. Good music on the radio too!

I had been wanting to check out this coffee shop for a minute now and finally got the time to do it today. So glad I did, the ambiance is very chill and relaxed with a boho/rustic/modern green feel to it. Lots of ample space to sit with your choice of seating. I absolutely adored my iced lavender honey latte. My mother came with me and had a maple latte and Omg like the best cup a joe I've had in a long time. Food is also available as is WiFi and a bathroom. Lots of books and mags to read and the staff was super friendly and helpful. If you like Starbucks you will love Monaco's more, they outdo them by far. Check em out and you'll see what I mean;) read more

This is for the Monaco's Bakery next to the Monaco's Coffee Shop in Geneva, NY. Yikes! Paid $8 for a small loaf of sourdough bread. Which is over twice the price of a better loaf from the last big grocer in Geneva. Paid $4 for a dinner roll...which is half the price of a whole loaf! That makes the Monaco rolls 5 times more expensive than the last big grocer in Geneva. And make no mistake...the bread from the big grocer is superb. I just don't get it. 'Bread is the staff of life...' yet here in Geneva bakeries like 'Monaco's' and the defunct 'Normal Bread' are pricing their bread out of the reach of 99% of the citizenry of Geneva. I can't figure out if they are battling the horrible property taxes of Geneva...or pandering to the over-wealthy students from HWS. A loaf of bread has about $0.25 worth of raw product in it (flour, water, salt, yeast). How can you justify an additional 32 times the material cost for each loaf? You can't. Monaco's is turning white privilege cachet into cold hard cash and leaving behind most of the resident citizenry. When told that the citizenry of Paris could not afford bread Marie Antoinette is purported to have said "Well, then, let them eat cake!" At Monaco's in Geneva....I can't afford the bread....so I likely can't afford the cake either. I will go to the the last big grocer left in Geneva instead. read more

Was excited to visit this coffee shop! Love the atmosphere. The baristas were very friendly. I ordered an iced mocha and a berry scone. The scone tasted like it may have been in the case a few days. The coffee was never made and I had to ask the (very friendly!) barista about it. They made it promptly. It is forgettable. I left hungry and unsatisfied. I will not return. read more

Cool little coffee shop. Be patient standing in a long line for good coffee and breakfast bites. Excellent service for us by a great person. We got Americano, Latte, Bagle/CreamCheese, and breakfast bagle. Very good stop in the morning. read more

The atmosphere was nice they had a little compost and had a large plant on the wall. All their flavors were homemade which I love. I got honey lavender latte it was just okay. As I watched my drink getting made the espresso machine was leaking more like spraying hot water out of it which was watering down espresso. Also the barista did not have a thermometer to measure the temperature of the milk Steaming and the steaming wand was not cleaned between uses. As a previous barista I was very pleased with the work environment although I do know she was busy. The place was very busy but not sure if I will be back love the idea of the place but I was enthused with the execution read more

The hubby and I stumbled upon this place while in town for a 5k race. Loved the ambiance and service. The staff were all super nice and certainly make you feel comfortable immediately. They have both oat and regular milk options and a case onsite where you can purchase oat milk as well juice shots. It's close to the college and it seemed to be a regular student homework spot. There is off street parking too which was a perk. read more

I've been to Monaco's many times, and I want to like it so badly. It's the cutest coffee shop, I love the decor, and they always have fun and interesting menu options (today it was a honey lavender latte and a charcoal latte). I also really hate leaving bad Yelp reviews... but to echo a lot of reviews here, the service here is SO BAD. When I say bad service, I don't mean that I came here once and someone was "rude" to me... the service here is consistently horrible. I almost feel bad complaining because it's not the employees faults at all. Today, on a Monday morning at 9am, they had ONE employee working. This kid was taking orders, making drinks, and making food. Alone. This is a common theme as they usually have one poor employee working at all times. It took me about 10 minutes to get my latte... but it literally took 48 minutes for me to get my breakfast sandwich. I was catching up with a friend so I didn't really mind too much, but it was absolutely insane. This poor kid that was working CALLED HIS FRIEND who wasn't on the schedule today to come in and help him out. I couldn't even complain about the 48 minute wait or ask for my money back because I felt so bad for this kid and I honestly think if I asked him for anything else that he would have dropped dead on the spot from stress. Their employees don't have amazing customer service skills, but I can't really blame them for being stressed and not apologizing for my wait when they're running around like chickens with their heads cut off. There is literally never an owner/manager around. It's chaos and I've never seen any restaurant run like this in my life. I really wish they had someone around that I could complain to instead of posting this on a public forum, yet here we are. I will say my charcoal latte was really good... but honestly unless you want to wait an ungodly amount of time and get an overpriced drink, I would really skip this place. read more
