If you’re looking to start your day with a great cup of coffee, head to the Monkey Nest. This popular locally-owned cafe takes a socially responsible approach to its menu, serving only organic coffee and eclectic, internationally-influenced food.
The drinks here range from traditional espresso and drip coffees to some more unique concoctions. Try the Spicy Monkey Mocha, made with chocolate, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Monkey Nest also boasts a solid selection of teas if you’re not a coffee drinker. For food, the breakfast tacos can’t be beat; it's made fresh to order. The tuna and feta sandwich also wins raves.
Live music on the weekends draws a significant crowd, and the booking here is eclectic, too. From day to day you can see jazz, bluegrass, and even much more. Check out Monkey Nest's website to see a calendar of upcoming events.
