The Monkey Cup

“The service, the atmosphere, and the coffee are all a 10/10.”

We love the monkey cup. It's a little dim and unfortunately the arepas are only available Friday- Sunday from the morning until the afternoon. They're so good! I got a black bean and white cheese one and the arepa itself is made from scratch by a Venezuelan man! So good. And I love the Spanish lattes and the turmeric lemonade.

Such a beautiful, cozy, friendly coffee shop! Delicious Spanish latte and the best pastries I’ve had. Love their artwork, bookshelves, and no wifi policy. This is a coffee shop to be present with your friends and loved ones.

The coffee is bright and smooth. I ordered a cap, and the foam was perfect! Some cafes will just give you a latte, so it’s a good sign of the knowledge of the baristas. I also got the turkey croissant, and it was fine. Not a lot of turkey in it, but the texture of the pastry was okay. I asked them to warm it up. The cafe was quiet when I was in there.

favorite harlem coffee shop!! drinks are amazing, highly recommend the Arabic iced tea (although it is often out of stock). iced chais can be a bit hit or miss, but when they're good they're probably the best chai I've had. arepas are also a bit hit or miss just depending on the flavor, the chicken and prosciutto ones are delicious but the other can be a bit heavy for my tastes. amazing atmosphere, staff are so friendly. would definitely recommend, just be aware that some items are less good than others.
