The staff member who served us was the absolute sweetest, the food was delicious and the two drinks were so flavorful! I forgot to get a photo of my meal but it was great. I did snag a photo of the cutest piece of mini banana bread! The vibe in this place was very calm and artsy! Great place for a catch up with three friends.
Brittany (seemed like she was the owner) was one of the nicest people I've Ever met! I showed up when they were just closing, and she was still so nice and accommodating! She got me a coffee and then brought biscuits, a pastry and berries!! For just a quick stop for coffee it was one of the best experiences! Brittany is Awesome!
The atmosphere of the Monarch Art Cafe is cozy and relaxing! The staff are such amazing souls and put passion into their craft. As an out of state visitor, this was such a great place to sit down, relax, and get some work done. My oatmilk honey latte was pure bliss, and the quiche was one of the best I have ever had. If you aren't in a rush, and want a relaxing atmosphere to hang out for a bit, this is the place to go! I will definitely be bringing friends and family here the next time I am in town.
The atmosphere is delightful. Love all the art. The latte I had was probably the best ever. Delicious pastries, and the other food looked amazing. But it must be said that you simply can't go here for a to-go drink, lol. I was leaving town after a wedding and stopped in, and getting one latte to-go took 25 minutes. Tempted to put three stars but it was too adorable for that. This would be 5 stars for sure for dining in, and I'd take cute local place over a drive-through chain any day, but I would have preferred a heads-up that it was going to be awhile since I had a 4-hour drive ahead of me. I'll be back, and it'll be when I can dine in, be leisurely, and not worry about timing!
What a cute little Cafe! Menu varies, but all fresh prepared. The nicest people. Very relaxed and comfortable. Okoboji is lucky to have this new addition to the lunch scene!
The staff is incredible, the ambiance is wonderful and the espresso and food is legitimately second to none. The ham and cheese croissant will change your life and the espresso is out of this world. Frank Sinatra's "That's Life" was playing when I went in, I said I love that song and it reminds me of my dad. The owner, Britney, turned up the volume and we sang along together. I AM A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE!!
Super nice cafe! I had a cappuccino and some blueberry crepes, both very delicious. I liked walking around and looking at all the art they have up and for sale, it’s like a little gallery while you’re waiting for your food and drinks.
