This is a really cute spot, nestled in downtown Monroe. I really like the rustic vibes and the customer service was great. I only ordered a chai tea, but it was really good. I'll definitely be back! read more

Couldn't break away for lunch today, so I had to order in. Grabbed the teriyaki salmon bowl and it absolutely hit the spot! Fresh, crisp, creamy, salty,... Absolutely everything you want in a meal. And the portion was very generous. read more

Such a cute, cozy, and relaxing atmosphere, with kind and attentive servers, plus delicious food and coffee! This is a great place to meet with friends, grab a quick drink or study/work! I ordered the 523 (replaced espresso with coffee) and tonkotsu ramen; and both were fabulous! I'm not a huge fan of coffee normally but their blend of hazelnut, Irish cream, and caramel was so yummy! I was pleasantly surprised with the ramen as well, since I never expected a coffee shop to serve it, nevertheless it being so delicious. Their tonkotsu ramen had so much umami and the meat was tender. My favorite was the egg, especially after breaking it open and eating the yolk with the noodles. Definitely recommend if you're ever visiting or a local wanting to try a new place! read more

Standard Coffee - The 523, chocolate chip cookie, and Vietnamese Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monroe, Louisiana

What a lovely find! After spending time with extended family I NEEDED a fix & a piddle on our way back to El Dorado. Thank you, AppleMaps, for guiding us to a superb Honey Lavender Oatmilk Latte! The kids behind the counter (I'm old enough to be their grandma) we're super polite and very helpful with my order. The music was not offensive, like it can be in other establishments, nice lighting, comfy chairs, nice artwork, and everybody seemed chill. read more

Standard Coffee - Cool Vibe! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monroe, Louisiana

This place would be great to study or have a date! It's so cute, clean, and open! They have plenty of seating with great staff with a big menu. I've gotten a couple of things from here so far and I will continue to update! -Iced chai latte: 1/5, it was very watered down - Iced matcha latte with rose cold foam: 5/5, super yummy, it had the perfect amount of sweetness and hint of rose -Spicy chicken ramen: 1.5/5, the noodles were yummy and perfectly cooked but the there was barely any broth, the broth barely had any flavor and had A LOT of oil (guessing it's from the chili crisp they put on top), it was also pretty salty (prob from all the chili crisp), it also was more numbing then actually spicy read more

Standard Coffee - Tonkatsu Ramen, and a 523 iced - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monroe, Louisiana

Was in the area for business and found this place so decided to give it a try. It was the highlight of every morning that I was there. Easy to get to, friendly staff in the morning and amazing coffee. The place is cozy and inviting if you want to spend some time there working or catching up with a friend. I had "The Standard" hot latte and it was amazing - my go to every day. I went one day during the evening and the evening staff was not as friendly as the morning staff, so shoutout to the morning staff. I will definitely visit again when I am in town. Oh, and I also bought some of their coffee beans - great roast. read more

First of all, let me just say this is not just coffee. We had a great bowl of traditional tonkatsu, Ramen and spicy chicken Ramen. They were both excellent. I have had coffee here a couple of times and it has been very good both times. The staff is very friendly. read more

You will not be disappointed at Standard Coffee. This is a special gem tucked away in Downtown Monroe. Parking is easy! Not your typical menu, but you must try the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl! Such a cool vibe and relatively quiet. Helpful staff! Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Tomato Basil Soup is delicious! Treat yourself soon! read more

THE BEST ESPRESSO IN THE SOUTH. There coffee really is that good! And the service workers are super nice. Menu has tons of options. I wish we had a standard coffee in orlando. read more

Nice to see another establishment with some Asian influences open in Monroe, but was sadly disappointed. Their red velvet mocha had no hint of caffeine and felt like I was finding chocolate milk. Their vietnamese iced coffee wasn't true Viet coffee. Instead, it's a cold brew (not the expresso drip as it should be) with condensed milk and vanilla. No classic bitterness taste found in this 'Viet' coffee. Their spicy chicken ramen was average, but the broth felt like 80% spicy chili oil from Lao Gan MA (iykyk), so I don't know if I would even call this ramen. Their teriyaki salmon bowl was the only thing I enjoyed because you can't really mess up a bowl (I would hope). Overall, this visit was meh. Would probably try their other items and see if it's any better. Place is spacious, staff is nice, and good music selection - so at least there's that! read more

Good stopover for a nice cappuccino. I always am looking for espresso and cappuccino stops on frequent cross country trips. This one is definitely on my permanent list now. Excellent coffee in a good "coffee house" atmosphere. Despite a couple of reviews to the contrary, I found the servers friendly and polite. Caution - the address in Yelp is incorrect by about 1 block and you will end up in a Taco bar but the coffee shop does exist a block down. read more

Good food, I had the tuna poke bowl. But the grilled cheese with tomato soup? Kinda pathetic. 4 of my friends ordered it and the "soup" was really just marinara sauce in a bowl. The sandwiches were burnt in some areas and smaller than described. This is such a cute place, and the vibes are fun, but it was a disappointment. Service was ok, nothing to complain about there read more

Let's divert our eyes to a much happier review, shall we? I came here with my sister on my last day right before my flight back to New York. I thought the cashier guy looked familiar and my sister realized it was the same waiter we had at Parish restaurant a few days prior. Again, the waitstaff in most of Monroe, Louisiana is pretty phenomenal. Like people treat you right here. The coffee is fantastic. The menu had tempting seasonal beverages and fancy concoctions but I went with a basic or not so basic macchiato with I think oat milk (I was pretty exhausted) and my sister got a Honey Lavender Latte. Hers was absolutely delicious. Mine as well but hers was just on another level. I was tempted to get the Vietnamese Iced Coffee but they were out so the Macchiato may have been an impulse decision. There's a red velvet mocha on the menu and that sounds pretty intriguing. The baked goods are also something to write home about. We split a gigantic cinnamon roll and a chocolate chip cookie. Both were gently warmed. The roll was gooey and soft and layered with ribbons of delicious sticky cinnamon sugar. I'd kill for this right now. The cookie was also warm and soft but chewy with liberal amounts of fancy sea salt. I ate the other half somewhere on my layover in Atlanta. Like I rarely ever write reviews for coffee shops because I'm not usually impressed and don't have a lot to say. Get the coffee. But this is a spot worth checking out if you live here or are in the area. read more

This is a beautiful and delicious little gem downtown Monroe. I couldn't wait for a trip to see my parents and visit. It was worth the wait. We both got the avocado toast and lattes. Both iced lattes were so good, but the real winner was the toast. It was so filling. I cannot wait to visit again! read more

I haven't tried coffee in Monroe before, but my friends and I wanted to try this place first. It's extremely cute inside with a very nice relaxed vibe. The service was fast and polite. I was genuinely surprised how fast our coffees were done. I love sweet drinks that still taste like coffee and that's exactly what the White Lighting is. It has just the right amount of cinnamon, though I will say you might not want the last few sips because the cinnamon settles at the bottom. My friend got the Vietnamese coffee which tasted like a stronger coffee drink to me. I prefer sweeter drinks. My other friend got a drink that's not pictured, I forget the name but it had butter and coconut oil. She wasn't as into her drink, but it was a flavor she wanted to try and she enjoyed it. Everything we tried was delicious even if it wasn't our normal tastes, it was great quality and reasonably priced. Next time I'll have to try the muffins :) read more

Standard Coffee - I got a white lightning and the darker drink in the back is a Vietnamese coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monroe, Louisiana

If you don't like fish or pork, you shouldn't go here... Not much of a selection at all ! Tiny menu and it's pretty limited

I've been to this location for lunch twice and each time the food was great. This most recent time the wait was a little longer than expected considering I called in prior, but it was also lunch time, so that's to be expected. The service is always nice. I got the Tonkotsu Ramen this recent time! I had to get it to-go (not the restaurants fault) and I greatly appreciated the thought put into even to-go orders. Will be back! read more

From the best coffee in town to the outstanding food to the amazing customer service, you absolutely cannot go wrong here! I swear I spend 95% of my time here and I love every minute of it! Maybe a bit too much! This place is so much more than a coffee shop for me! The community Standard has given me is so beautiful! Getting to see Olivia and Bridgette's face every time I'm in, is next to none! Also they are so personal! Like they know my order through in through to the point where they've made my drink before I even ordered on many occasions! This is the perfect place for just a quick drop in, a study sesh (or multiple), Bible studies, catching up with a friend, lunch...all the things!! I absolutely adore this place and my people so much! read more

Charming and friendly hosts. Perfect vibe. Spotless. Stylish. Superb espresso. Great music. Love this place!

The girls working were SO polite, understanding, and accommodating when I explained I have celiac disease. The coffee tasted amazing, it's a clean environment, and the service was great. I'll be a regular there from now on. read more

Great service and atmosphere. Love the salmon bowl& ramen. The cashiers are really nice and have great customer service.

My daughter and I came in for the first time and tried the place out. So glad we did! We had the Avocado Toast which was so delicious! The bread had the perfect crunch and the right amount of food. The price was spot on. I, also, had the Red Velvet Iced Latte. It was so good! I'll definitely be back! If you're in town, you have to try this place out! read more

Went into the store to order and was greeted by a short bearded man (don't know his name) with an attitude. Ordered an iced americano which was served to me in a melted cup with no ice in it. Better service next time read more

Nice place! Nice people! Ramen needs help tho. I'm hoping this place comes out on top by listening for their customers opinions.

How can a coffee shop have no decaf? Very Sad to drive all the way here. was very excited. Left very sad and empty handed.

Fantastic coffee shop! We go out of our way to go here anytime we are in the area! Their oatmilk lattes are amazing!

Sarah and katie are super cool! They're killing the barista work and they have cool style

New gem in Monroe/West Monroe! The coffee was delicious (I had the Red Velvet specialty-hot) and the grilled cheese and tomato soup were decadent! Friendly, attentive service and an over-the-top product means many return visits! Thanks for making our lunch hour extra! read more

This place is AMAZING! I cannot say enough good things about it! They have the best coffee in town. I no longer go to Starbucks, or anywhere else for coffee, for that matter. Do yourself a favor and go try their coffee. They also serve breakfast and lunch. I've only tried the Avocado Toast, so far, and it was delicious! The only bad thing I can say about this place is that there isn't one in West Monroe! Please open one in West Monroe. read more

This place is AMAZING. I can in and got a redeye and a vietnamese iced coffee and they were both so great. The vietnamese coffee was just the right amount of sweetness and even had a nice hint of chocolate even though it didn't have any and the redeye I expected to be extremely bitter but I was met with a magnificent velvety, slightly sweet flavor. The next day I came in and I decided to try the 523 (which was just as amazing as the first two), a perfect balance of nutty, creamy, coffee flavor. The service was just as amazing with a kind staff. I talked with the Barista and said that another good place was Seventh square and I mentioned a really good orange blossom iced latte. They suggested that I try the satsuma scone and even covered the price when I didn't have enough cash on me. The scone was amazing with an excellent citrus flavor that wasn't too sweet and a cakey delicious scone to accompany it, all toped off with a candied Satsuma. I highly recommend this place due to the excellent drinks, food, staff, and vibes. The true cherry on top is the fact that it is a locally owned business that's not expensive. read more
