This coffee shop was quite the surprise. It is located near downtown Monroe in a restored antique…read morestore but converted into what looks like an old gat station. Genius! The menu offers quite a bit of options of coffee drinks, teas, food and even ice cream. MY wife and I went just for coffee, and it was delicious. By the way, it's imported Colombian coffee, and it was great! Staff was friendly and helpful. We were helped by the owners themselves, and they always had a smile, repeated our order back to us, got our order quickly, and checked on us if things were OK. The common areas and restroom were clean and comfortable, and the y did a terrific job with the looks of it. It has its own free parking lot but with limited spots. Overall, 100% recommended and can't wait to return to ty the food menu.

I didn't try any of the food this time around but my friend and I ordered their chocolate strawberry iced lattes and they were delicious! We are the kind of people who love a sweet and flavorful latte so this was perfect for us. It wasn't watery or dull in flavor in the slightest and it tasted exactly as described on the menu.

Cute little place with some amazing ice cream! We have been meaning to pop in for a while now, and…read moreit is definitely our loss for waiting for so long! There is plenty of parking in the plaza and tables both inside and out where you can enjoy your treat! We tried the cinnamon toast crunch and butterfinger, and both were exactly what you would expect! They have quite a few flavors to pick from, so I will definitely need to go check out some of the others. Prices are very reasonable with a small at $4, medium at $6 or a pint at $10. They also have a loyalty card and punch a hole for every order. Once you fill the card, you get to spin the wheel and win a prize, anything from free ice cream, t-shirt, hat, or even a stuffed puppy (Hank). Unfortunately, Hank was not there today, but just another reason to go back! The employees behind the counter were friendly and were cleaning and picking up between customers,keeping the place tidy. It's definitely a place to go and check out!

My sons wanted to go to SweetFrog but i told them lets go try some real ice cream. I got the coffee caramel, my daughter got cookie dough (she said its REAL cookie dough and was delicious), my oldest son got cookies & cream (fun fact, it takes 44 Oreos to make a batch), my youngest son got vanilla (he took a bite and told him wow you did a good job, it's delicious!). Before we left my youngest told him "you do a really good job with your ice creams, thank you"! There is also a freezer of pints (cash only) if you want to bring some home to enjoy! If you love ice cream and like to support local like my family does, please stop in to Hanks Carolina Creamery! Check out his merch too while youre there!

I chose fries which they had to make while my hot dog sat on the counter getting cold. After I got home I opened the hot dog to realize it was merely a wiener and bun. No condiments at all. If you want a blizzard go for it but for anything else there are far better options.

The cashier was very patient as one of the kids kept changing his order, haha. I didn't like that the cashier assumed waffle cone vs the traditional one. I noticed it but didn't say anything as I'm sure the kids wanted waffles cone. The small and regular waffle cone seemed like the same amount. I was very shocked to see how much ice cream came in the small yet disappointed there wasn't a recognizable difference between the small and regular. My cup was the perfect size and what I expected. We all enjoyed one cones. One of the kids did make a comment about the lack of Oreos in the cookies and crème. This was my first time here at this location, and at Brusters in general. I would return. There was a decent amount of seating, which is nice. It's family friendly as many were present.

Her club was huge and stuffed with cheese and meat and really good looking bacon. My chicken tenders were big and well cooked and the honey mustard sauce was excellent. Even with them closing in a few minutes we didn't feel rushed or in the way. They were attentive to us keeping our drinks filled and making sure I got a box to take my chicken home for later. Yes their chicken tenders were good enough to want to take home. Hope to visit again soon.

So, I figured it was time to update my review of this amazing place. As I mentioned before, I'd…read morekeep coming back; and, true to my word, I'm literally there every Sunday for Brunch, grinning like I own the place while the staff (who are absolute gems, by the way) welcome me in. I've also stopped by for dinner a few times, and let me tell you, these folks don't miss. The food? Always fresh and delicious. The service? Fast, professional, and somehow still warm and personable. They've really built a fantastic team here, and at this point, I'm pretty sure I qualify for honorary family membership. Someone get me a name tag that says "MSB Cousin." If you're ever there for Brunch when the "Big Stack" is on the menu, please try it. You're going to love it, and the many other brunch and dinner items on the menu.
