    Yummy breakfast!!!!  These folk do a wonderful job.
    Michael E.

    Oh...how I love the days I drive to my cabin on the weekends...as I always make sure to pass through Marshall to patronize this lovely little eatery! The food is ALWAYS good and the service too. A great value for your dollar and specials and menu items change on a regular basis. A little off the beaten path....sure.....worth it? ABSOLUTELY!!!

    I don't have the words to tell you how AMAZING this place is. We were driving past the town of Marshall and decided at the last minute to turn around and grab lunch there. Looking at the reviews helped us decide on this place. It's an absolute GEM! The food was amazing. The chef/owner makes everything from scratch and it shows. We had some potato dill soup and tomato soup to start and the Kitchen Sink pizza to eat. We were insanely full and couldn't finish it all, but still grabbed desserts to go. I had the caramel walnut bar and my husband had the cinnamon roll (that had a surprising hint of orange) and they were worth every single calorie. We will go back to this town just to eat here again. Oh....and I also need to mention that they do serve beer!

    What you will NOT get is fast, get you out as fast as possible service. What you WILL get is an amazing home cooked to order meal! The wait for us was so well worth it. We loved the small town vibe. We chose a game that they had to keep us occupied. The food was seriously worth the wait!

    Phenomenal! My mom is from Marshall so, we get there often to visit my grandma. I'm so glad I found this place. What a treasure. Great atmosphere, service & beyond delicious food. I had the huge crab cake with a cup of the poblano pepper clam chowder...DELICIOUS. They have a very small, yet quality beer selection. If you're the type that will only drink Bud Light, go elsewhere. I'm originally from Michigan & they had 2 beers from 2 different MI breweries. I was ecstatic. I look forward to coming back here EVERY time I visit Madison Co.

    Wow. Just wow. We rented a cabin in Marshall for the weekend and had the pleasure of being in walking distance of the Sweet Monkey Cafe. The women that were working were very welcoming. I would be there everyday if I lived in Marshall. . I will never look at another shrimp or grit the same way after I had brunch here over the weekend. It was amazing. It was made with local sausage, shrimp, yellow grits, tomatoes and a bunch of other awesomeness. Try it. You won't regret it. The rest of my party enjoyed their brunch just as much as I did if not more. I hear their molasses cookies are out of this world too. Sadly they were out by the time we got there. Next time. I can't wait until we are back in the area to visit again!

    Omg this place!!!!! It was recommended to us by our Airbnb host and I'm soooooooo glad we had the chance to eat here. Ms. Hollie West single handily cooked one of the best breakfast I've ever had. We were a party of six, ordered the breakfast sandwich, breakfast tacos, French toast, frittata and EVERYTHING was to die for. The staff was super nice and the place has a sweet charm to it. Absolutely loved it, definitely recommend it!!!

    Delicious shrimp and grits!

    My fiance and I were staying in the mountains north of Asheville and we're blessed to find this gem. Quaint, simplistic, and hip ambiance in downtown Marshall. We had brunch on Sunday, one of the best ever. Everything was great from the coffee, to the service, to the main dishes. The shrimp and grits were perfectly done with an amazing, creamy broth complementing the authentic grits. Excellent! The brunch special was also out of this world good. Eggs, chorizo, and kale on top of cheesy jalapeno bread, prepared french toast style, with the best hollandaise sauce I've had. Highly recommend a trip to Marshall and to this standout establishment. (This from someone who rarely gives 5-star reviews)

    Celebrated my husband's birthday!

    I'm a fan of everything scratch made! They have soooo good bread and French toast! I ordered mimosa for brunch! It's sooo yum! Owner is so friendly and accommodating. She keep on checking if we need anything. We were hesitant at first coz we brought our dog but they are accommodating enough that they even gave water for our puppy. They also have variety of hot sauce. Cafe is located in a historical downtown of Marshall.
