Monks

Best coffee shop in Dubuque. I am somewhat of a coffee snob and always on the lookout for a good dark roast. Monks has great service and an interesting layout. For example, people watch on the main floor or go downstairs for a mean game of bumper pool! Bottom line, however, is a great cup of coffee that will keep me coming back.

Pretty great place for meeting people, playing pool, or being by yourself. Open late. The coffee is pretty good. Cozy comes to mind. I wish there was similar place near where I live.

We visited in search of some iced coffee. It was an unexpected atmosphere, ordering coffee at a bar. But very neat! The employee was friendly and got our order correct. Prices were very reasonable.

I spent countless days and nights hanging here in the late 90s when it was Take 5. As Monk's, this place is still the best coffee shop in Dubuque. Dirty, Gritty, DAMN FINE COFFEE. And best of all, no pandering.

Monk's is a laid back place with friendly patrons and staff. They have a wide variety of coffee drinks, liquor, and craft beers. Domestic beer is also available.

Excellent drink options, friendly staff, unique environment, outdoor seating, and a great location. The pool and foosball tables, among live readings and music, made Monk's an excellent night out.

Cozy, bohemian spot for coffee or boozy drinks. Monk's is one of those local classic spots that makes Dubuque. Great patios in front & back. Live music & local art. Try a wellness blend tea with a shot of buffalo trace in it! Good whiskeys & tequilas. 3 taps, usually local beers.

Cozy, with great coffee and awesome beer selection.

The coffee here is DELICIOUS! For those looking for a bite to eat, they sell small snacks (chips, cookies, etc.) no cooked food. Nice servers :) thanks Monks!!

Pretty awesome hangout. Had a Caramel Iced Vanilla prepared very well. Also, ordered a Chai Latte after afterwards to warm myself back up. The Small Chai Latte was actually in a bigger cup which gave me more value for my buck. Arrived around 4pm to a pretty friendly group of people very mindful of there voice tones. Music was at a great volume not overwhelming at all actually pretty soothing (some sort of soft rock). Very Clean establishment. Will definitely return. The woman working the coffee (Emily I believe her name is) was very informative with me asking a million and one questions. I am very likely to return.
