    Menu, they also offer baked goods including gluten free
    Anastasia U.

    Found this gem while visiting one of my sites. I couldn't find an online menu or pictures on Yelp for what they had, so went and took a shot! I don't drink coffee but love local places like this, I was lucky they had matcha and it was pure matcha, not that stuff Starbucks and others have with sugar and then a tiny bit of matcha. I had it made with oak milk and was also pleasantly surprised they had gluten free items individually packaged! Amazing, was a win win day. The matcha was smooth, you can tell it's a higher grade, not grainy or too grassy. The gluten free roll, I ate later on my flight, wasn't bad, not sure I would buy that flavor again but appreciate that they had it. I can't even remember the flavor now! Sorry. If I go back to this project I will certainly make a trip to this shop. The house is beautiful on the outside, so much character, I didn't get a chance to walk around but they had trinkets and such for sale. The Barista and person who took my order were nice and friendly.

    Neat little coffee shop located just off the main drag in downtown Monroe. We've stopped in a few times, and they seem dialed into the pulse of their community. Coffee has been expertly prepared and the munchies we consumed were both tasty and reasonably priced. The old house is cozy and well-appointed with clean bathrooms and a room that partitions off for a larger group. While there are several places to sit including the porch, its more akin to conversation than work. And that's part of its charm. We've not encountered tables seized by a single person sprawled out for the day while sipping a $4 latte. Not cool. I wish they offered more breakfast offerings like hot sammies, and cortados. Nevertheless, Alice Jules has my "Give 'em a whirl" meter just a percolating. Get your hot Joe here!

    Order here!

    Met a colleague for coffee. Had a Crème Brûlée Latte. It was delicious. This beautiful shop is a gorgeous old Victorian with so much character. I met the owner who was a lovely person. We sat outside and enjoyed our coffee in the sun. There is plenty of seating inside as well. I would definitely return.

    Iced Caramel Macchiato (regular)

    Giving Alice Jules anything other than a 5 star review is wrong, the coffee is AMAZING!! The customer service is AMAZING, everyone working was so kind. With ample seating throughout. I ordered a caramel macchiato and it honestly is the best ive had in a while. Will be back!!!

    Apple Pie Chai Latte

    Stopped in for the second time in one day. I was greeted by a young man named Kyle who was very friendly and upbeat. I told him I was wanting a chai tea latte, so he suggested a few of the different flavor options. I chose Apple Pie and it did not disappoint. It tasted like dessert in a cup! I appreciated Kyle's above and beyond customer service.

    We found this place a couple years ago and have never been disappointed. These folks know coffee! Not sure what you want? Ask the barrista to make something for you and you will not regret it! The service is quick and accurate. There is seating inside and they have a large porch you can relax and sip your coffee. They also sell crafts and goodies from other local artisans

    exploring downtown Monroe, our new home. found this jewel.

    Best spot for hot matcha latte and kids temp hot chocolate! The crew at Alice Jules is awesome and we very much appreciate Kent & co for making us feel so welcomed in our new neighborhood! Kent is also an amazing ambassador for the small businesses around downtown Monroe -- thanks so much for sharing all the wonderful happenings around our lovely City!!

    An incredible Coffee House in Monroe. Wonderful and very bold coffee. The coffee is fresh and prepared exactly to your likening. There are a variety of pastries & cookies , honey , and handmade gifts. The entire Staff are attentive , polite , and strive to be engaging to all guests. It's a pleasure to be warmly greeted and part of the extraordinary experience at Alice Jules. The coffee house is very warm and inviting to sit alone , with friends , or even for a small event. Plenty of space inside or outside. Daily the owner is present and engaged in work and community. Part of the reason we repeat and return and frequently share about Alice Jules is because the owner is so involved in the community & obviously a neighborhood leader , he is frequently seen coaching and mentoring the employees , and too greeting patrons. I hope others see and taste the value of such a Community Coffee House. There is no measure of the important role Alice Jules , the Staff, and Owner play in everyone's daily encounter to buy coffee and that of the value the coffee community brings to Downtown Monroe. Big Thanks to Ken & for sharing Alice Jules with the Community.

    Inside seating. Vintage chairs, a separate "meeting room", and lots of little crannies to hang out.

    So glad I came across this place. I haven't been to Monroe in over a decade and it's so nice to see downtown coming alive. Yeah, there's the same boring, sterile strip mall coffee chains outside of town, but this is so much better. First the building is beyond adorable. A historic Victorian-esque house turned into multiple businesses. The decor makes you feel like you've walked into another world. Compete with a flickering "gas lamp" street light and local artists painting hanging on the wall. The coffee was phenomenal. Their pumpkin whatever is hands down the best pumpkin whatever I've had. Even had pumpkin whipped cream. Seriously, this didn't taste like "oh I added a pump of flavoured corn syrup", but like actual pumpkin batter was added. Their drip coffee is worth coming back for alone. Not bitter, not overly sweet, not burnt. It's a shame I'm only passing through because I would 100% make this a daily third space. Oh, and the Yelp hours are wrong. They are open on Sunday 8a-12p. Also, the owner is a gem. He looks out for his employees and they take Covid precautions even though the overall area may not. They understand it's about the community, not just themselves, and that mentality shows in how he treats his employees.

    The owner Kent. He's got great personality. He knows how to welcome folks. It's more then just a coffee shop, it's a family community.

However, the building is super cute and has a good amount of seating to have a coffee date or even study with some friends/alone.

I had the Salad Sandwich. You can get it with chicken salad, tuna salad or chickLESS salad. I had the chicken salad in a spinach wrap with lettuce and tomato. There are other bread options. The wrap was filled with the chicken salad. It was nicely seasoned and tasted really good. My husband and daughter both did the Pick Your Burger, a build your own.

I'm sorry to say that this was the worst coffee I've ever had. No flavor at all. It tasted like watered down milk.

The staff was very friendly, and everything in the pastry case looked amazing. Unfortunately, the dining area was somewhat dirty and disorganized. I realize that was probably a combination of customers not cleaning up after themselves and the staff being too busy to keep pace, but there was food smeared in several places, and we had to do quite a bit of cleaning before we could settle in. We really wanted to love this place, but we left disappointed overall. My croque monsieur was the clear standout--a genuine 10 out of 10. It was absolute perfection. Unfortunately, my wife's classic ham-and-cheese baguette was the exact opposite. The ham and cheese were excellent, but the baguette was blackened on the bottom and so tough that she couldn't bite through it. She eventually gave up and ate only the meat and cheese. A baguette should have a satisfying chew and a good crust, but it shouldn't require a battle. When you visit a French bakery, freshly baked bread should be one of the highlights. The turkey salad side was also unappealing. It contained a seasoning neither of us cared for, and the overall dish felt greasy and heavy. It needed some fruit, nuts, or another bright element to provide contrast and balance. The tomato soup served with my sandwich was perfectly decent, but it wasn't noticeably better than a good premade soup from the grocery store. We also tried a pear pastry, chocolate chip cookies, and another pastry roll. Nothing was bad, but nothing was particularly memorable, either. Everything was simply okay. We would be willing to give the bakery another chance and sample some different pastries. The bread used for my croque monsieur was outstanding, so I would gladly return for a loaf of that if it's available to purchase. Overall, however, the experience was good rather than memorable, and we don't feel any urgency to return. To those about to nosh, we salute you--and hope you don't break your jaw on an overcooked baguette!
