An amazing outdoor space to enjoy some sunny days by the River. An awesome selection of beer and wine and pastries. Came to do some work and there's plenty of room for patrons and places to get work done. Come back in evenings for ice cream at some cheaper prices than most places and live music at times on the patio. Highly recommend!

On a foggy Saturday morning, heading South (I-75), we decided we should stop for some coffee. Unfamiliar with Monroe and wanting something other than gas station coffee, I found Fresh Start Coffee House. It's less than a mile off of the highway and worth the deviation. This unique little shop offers artisan coffee, inspired food and conversation. Paula and Vic, who own the shop engaged us as soon as we walked in. They offered recommendations and were genuinely polite. They told us that they employ people who are in recovery, re-entry and with special needs. Their space is available for church groups, community organizations and other community meetings. They also feature live bands on occasion. The coffee was amazing. We both got "Paula's Perfect", although we'll be back to try others we wanted. We got the carrot/berry (Morning Glory) muffin and it was delicious. The ambiance was fun, clean and well designed. The prices were fair and well worth the support of their mission. They also sell merchandise, art and other trinkets. If you are passing through, do yourself a favor and check Fresh Start Coffee House out. It's a hidden gem in Monroe, and a new regular stop for us.

This store is FAN-TAB-U-LOUS! I used to be a Starbucks fan, but never again. The bitterness of the…read morecoffee, their HIGH prices, the snotty staff and the high cost just wasn't worth it. They think they are untouchable. I stopped at Biggby on Telegraph and HOLY COW. I will never, ever, buy coffee anyplace else. They have a HUGE selection of lattes; the staff is so sweet, funny and always nice. Even when they are super busy, they never make you feel rushed. I like Violet and Kiah especially. I was shocked that after only my 3rd visit, Violet not only remembered my brother's name but what kind of latte he drinks (because it's the same boring one every time). Violet and Kiah have talked me into trying a few different lattes off the HUGE menu and now I am hooked. I've read some of the "poor" reviews....and I think these were more isolated incidents. Also remember that people feed off the emotions given them. So go in with a smile. I have gone early morning, and early afternoon and have NEVER, EVER had a bad experience. Going on 3 years (and counting) as a loyal customer. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place. Watch your back starbucks, there is a BETTER coffee place in town.

Hopefully this store gets a facelift soon.
