Monks

This was one of the best stops on our motorcycle trip. We took Uber here from the hotel and had an amazing time. We had a great evening with great staffing.

We visited this funky little coffee shop during a weekend visit to Dubuque. We ordered cold brews which were super flavorful and had great service! Love the Golden Girls theme on the inside and would be curious to visit at night when this place turns into a bar!

For me, this is the best café in town. It is a free and open place to discuss ideas, meet with friends or meet new and interesting people. The atmosphere is very chill. If your like me and love Portland Oregon or west coast culture, you will find an oasis of freedom and artistic flavor.

This place reminds me of all of the Chicago coffee houses from the early 90s before they went away. Urbis Orbis. Cafe Voltaire. Coffee Chicago. Places you could sit all day and read or talk or stare into the middle distance and think about stuff.

This place is like that. Comfortable and easygoing. Fine coffee, good beer selection and friendly staff.

Stopped for a quickie and it was a goodie. Hot Latte good, iced latte excellent. Variety of exotic beers including aged lager from netherlands for $11. We stuck with a local brew for mych cheaper Foosball in basement. Funny how everyone stopped what they were doing to watch us walk in. The cafe is freakier than us.

Reviewing the coffee shop aspect - Monk's is a great spot to grab a coffee near the funicular. Cool and unusual setup, with the full bar integrated into the coffee shop. Some nice seating options including a few tables outdoors. Next time I'm in Dubuque I will come for a beer too!

Fantastic little coffee Cafe which doubles as a bar at night. Funky like old Greenwich Village. Gets pretty good morning traffic from the locals. Wish we were staying longer!

Had a fun time visiting this unique place while passing through town. Monday night was their local stand up comedy night. We had a great time! Would stop back again if ever passing trough. Nice craft beer menu!
Cheers

This is one of my favorite coffee shops to go to. The atmosphere is vintage and I enjoy it greatly. The absolute only downside to this place is you need to climb stairs to get into the establishment.
Also this is a bar that has alcohol via at night. It's also a place for multiple reasons. Coffee bar, regular bar, also there is a sitting area upstairs across from the coffee bar, there is a nice comfortable restroom and also there are comedians, bands that come there to play downstairs in the other bar area. Children can't come in the bar area at night. Have ID ready at night. Again best coffee bar in town to me.

What a cool out of the way place! Upstairs coffee and drinks, beer and mixers. Some cool seating areas. Downstairs has live music, open mics and some neat areas also. Kind of an urban industrialized feel to the place. A good place to hang with friends.
