Great cozy vibe with high quality coffee. Was able to sit down and work for a good bit with coffee and treats. Coffee came out scalding hot and staff was extremely friendly. Few Monk & Mongooses around town and this one doesn't disappoint. read more

I went here twice on my trip to Denver and both times was very impressed. The amber latte has rich flavor from the spices, but is not too sweet. The inside looked like a cute place to do work or catch up with friends and the service was extremely friendly and helpful. My friends got their iced honey latte as well as their iced mocha and both were very satisfied. If you're a coffee fan visiting Denver this place is a must!! read more

Monk & Mongoose - Lone Tree - Iced Amber latte with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

It's nice to have another coffee shop option besides Starbucks. During the warmer weather, we enjoy sitting on the patio for a coffee and a pastry. They are always busy! One of the best chai tea lattes I've had and the coffee is flavorful too. read more

Extremely friendly and nice service. Cool place with a lot of seating area and amazing natural light. So glad I found this place. And the amber latte (brown sugar, and cinnamon) my fav!!! read more

Coffee but itself is good and they have new syrup options thats the only thing that makes it different from any local barista, Prices are all high class, felt over priced. To look high class prices shouldn't need to be high. Ambience is amazing read more

Monk & Mongoose - Lone Tree - Latte with Honey Blossom Syrup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

What a cool little spot to hit up. I flew into Denver and took a not cost friendly Uber over to this place to meet my sister. I am so grateful that the latte was good! Lattes are what I always order the first time somewhere. It's just so I can get a feel of how their espresso is and how they make things. If you mess a latte up, I normally don't come back often. This one with almond milk and vanilla was quite smooth and flavorful. The staff was pretty kind but definitely didn't want to take the time to help me on my first visit in decide what I should go with. There is this other latte that my sister got but it wasn't suggested and she was not up there so I just went basic. I wouldn't be angry if she wanted to go back at all. It was worth the stop and the uber bill...... read more

Monk & Mongoose - Lone Tree - Vanilla Latte with Almond Milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

I am visiting from Florida and have been looking for a good coffee spot and found it at Monk & Mongoose! My usual is a latte but wanted to venture out from my usual. They suggested a honey blossom latte. The honey bees collect pollen from the coffee bean flowers and they are using the beans and honey from the same coffee bean shrub/tree. It was perfect! Not to sweet and just sweet enough. Highly recommend giving this unique latte a try. read more

Because it is located under apartments, there is a sense of community. The patrons knew each other. They even knew the lone tree police officer who came in for coffee. They roast their coffee and create different flavors. The flavors taste fresh not the over done coffee shop menu. What a gem for the residence. I'd love to live close to a coffee shop like this. read more

Monk & Mongoose - Lone Tree - Necessity - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

I really like this coffee shop! I had a pour over and it had a wonderful flavor! My daughter had an Italian soda it was a bit lite on the flavor but still good. Also, the almond croissant was good but also a bit too lite on the almond flavor but excellent texture. The service is good and the location is always busy. Always consistent and happy with what I get here. read more

My breve cappuchino was delicious Had to wait a little bit because only one girl was working, but it was good! read more

As a coffee connoisseur this place is hands down the best coffee in Colorado. Not only a great atmosphere but quality you can taste b

Incredible matcha and syrups, service and environment. They take the utmost amount of care in making your drinks, and it shows in the taste and quality. They really are gourmet! The syrups are all house made, including the (gluten free!) cookie butter syrup that tasted incredible in my matcha latte. They have many dairy free milk options, and source Outrageous Baking from Boulder for gluten free breads and coffee cakes. Also have gf oatmean options. Will be back! read more

Such a cool and posh place. Super simple and elegant. A perfect menu with not too many choices. It is not about complicated drinks as the place proudly display a hand picked selection of sustainable coffee from different parts of the world. Plenty of street parking plus they have a small parking lot behind the building as well. Lots of seats inside and a few tables outside. It has been my favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood for quite some time now, and I am sure it will stay that way! read more

Not certain what a brave rodent and a spiritual silent person have to do with a cup of coffee but I have to say they do it well. Almost real well but read on..... I get to visit this spot 2-3 x week and really enjoy the cleanliness, the precision of the staff and the taste of the Java. It is good as are some of the sweets they offer. Now, the gripe - late (hot one) only comes in a 12 oz size, sadly I want a bit more ..... welcome to America, land of the "would you like a large for a few dollars more"! The second gripe - it does not matter if you ask for extra hot, super hot, temp is always the same, it's never really truly hot. Overall still a very good spot and I do recommend it! Java is deep, rich and full of flavor, just wish it was served a bit hotter. read more

This place is everything you want a coffee shop to be. The coffee is great, the staff are friendly, there's no time limit on the WiFi, and the seating is plentiful. I remember the first time I went, I was instantly thrilled to have discovered it, and knew I'd be back many times. If you need to get out of the house to do some work, I highly recommend some coffee and a pastry at Monk & Mongoose! read more

I felt like I was in a Saturday Night Live Skit at the Olympia Restaurant with John Belushi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puJePACBoIo Here is the Monk & Mongoose mission statement: FROM THE MOMENT YOU WALK IN OUR SHOPS, WE WANT YOU TO HAVE AN AMAZING COFFEE EXPERIENCE. FROM THE CUSTOMER SERVICE TO YOUR HAND-CRAFTED COFFEE, TEA OR ESPRESSO BEVERAGE, WE ARE FOCUSED ON EXCELLENCE IN ALL WE DO. This review is not a knee-jerk response to a single visit; it is the culmination of a decline in customer experience over time. Eventually, as much as you want to support small businesses (and I do and go out of my way to buy local and from small businesses), if they repeatedly fail to meet their mission statement, you say, "No more. Not worth it". And that is where I'm at. That said, M&M has a 4.5-star rating, which means there are many very satisfied repeat customers, and depending on the time of day, the line is long. I'm happy that others are enjoying M&M, because I want them _-to succeed. So why 1-star? Customer service is a choice. Their business is "crafting" coffee drinks and they have forgotten that. When you are asked to pay $7.65 for a large mocha and then add a 20% tip, it's over $9.00 for a coffee drink. One would think $9.00 would allow you to get some level of customization within reason, but NO! I asked for 3 shots and was told my choice was either 2 or 4. I didn't push back and said 4 shots. I did not point out the obvious that they could simply not let all of the second double-shot flow into the cup. Next, they don't offer 2% milk. It's either non-fat or whole milk. Easy enough to solve, I requested they fill the cup with 1/2 skim and 1/2 whole milk. The two milk containers are right there, waiting to be poured. Sounds reasonable, doesn't it? They had done it in the past, and I'm paying $9.00. The answer was an emphatic NO! Customization "crafting" is not allowed anymore, but the tip screen is still there. What am I missing? Their business is "crafting" coffee drinks. What does the customer receive in return for the 50% premium and the tip? Stymied and feeling that I was becoming more of a nuisance than a valued customer, I left and got exactly what I asked for at the Lone Tree Starbucks (which I was trying to avoid because I love local small businesses, and I am one). I never had any issues when I first started going there a few years ago. The coffee and food were great. Then, the food started to decline. They no longer slice their own banana and pumpkin bread. The food is now average but at a premium price. The coffee experience and customer service as noted above, a possible casualty of their success, has noticeably declined over the past year. It is not worth the 50% premium over what you pay Starbucks. This is especially true when Starbucks will cheerfully customize a coffee drink to your desire, and M&M chooses not to. Customer experience is a choice. read more

I've come here several times in the past just ordering simple espresso or an americano. Unfortunately the strong flavor was a little much for me. I tried the chai tea latte last time and it was one of the best I've ever had! I also tried my friend's lavender latte which tasted exactly like a lavender macaron. It was unreal. I cannot wait to go back and get that drink. Just know you're going to pay a ton for some really great specialty coffee. The coffee shop itself is beautiful and a fantastic place to hang out with friends or get some work done. read more

Monk & Mongoose - Lone Tree - Chai latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

There's a 45% chance the baristas will either: A. Forget your coffee. B. Forget your pastry. C. Forget to unlock the door to the bathroom, effectively locking you out of the main area. Coffee's good though. read more

Zero stars. I gave this place a second chance after the first bad experience. It blows my mind that this place stays busy with their business practices. If you get a terrible tasting drink, they will NOT remake. But when you try to order one, two, three things that you know you like, they're out of something that belongs in it. When you ask what is in a drink, the employee will point to the menu rather than engaging in conversation. If you ask the wifi password, the employees point to the sign - and don't mention that you have to be on monk public, not monk guest - so if you put it in wrong, they'll act like you're the dumb one (I'm dumb for spending my hard earned money here not once, but twice.) They also don't have changing tables in the men's restroom, an added annoyance. This is such a great location with big windows, it pains me that the employees aren't kinder and customer service oriented. I wanted to like this place so much, but now I'll be sure to tell everyone I know not to go here. read more

Great coffee and environment. Popular Meeting location and good service. people are very friendly and nice. Overall great experience!

Got a 22oz iced americano, half decaf, with a splash of oat milk and their "amber" syrup. Had I not gotten the "amber syrup" which is a glorified mix of cinnamon and something else, I feel like I would have liked the actual coffee better. The ambiance seems really nice and a lot of business professionals/students stay posted up here to get work done. The staff was very friendly and approachable. I'd give it another try but change my choice in drink next time. Worth a visit! read more

Nice place with a good cup of drip style coffee. The Americano is ALMOST as good as mine.

Great atmosphere, tasty coffee, what isn't to like! They have a great indoor and outdoor space so it's a great place to work or hangout. If you do want to spend time here, just be warned that this place is popular! When I say popular, I mean that I wouldn't be surprised if this was a top 5 revenue generating coffee shop in the entire Denver area. At the end of the day, you're looking for good coffee and M&M provides. read more

While the coffee and pastries are good I nicked them a star for being what I consider over priced. They only offer one coffee size 12 oz. As an example I ordered a mocha which I was told contained 2 shots of espresso. It cost about the same as Briccys in Castle Rock for a large 6-espresso mocha. So while Castle Rock is a long way to drive from Lone Tree for a coffee I have to say the Mongoose is taking overly advantage of being the only coffee shop in the area other than the corporate coffee of Starbucks. read more

I've been the to the other Monk & Mongoose a bunch of times but first time into this location, tucked back behind the hospital and some nice condos/apartments. A few things are certain at both locations- a hip vibe with this rustic-modern interior, kind and friendly baristas, fresh roasted and ground coffee and in-house made syrups. I stuck with a fresh roasted coffee. A simple cup says a lot about a place- well balanced, perfect temperature, not burned but smooth. They didn't disappoint. For my daughter, she goes for the more traditional big brew drinks and paired a cold latte with 1/2 mocha and 1/2 caramel syrups. It was flavorful and not overly sweet, rich and delicious. **This location has a variance to be open under the state's new COVID rules, as of 12/29, and also has two outdoor igloos for outdoor eating/drinking. read more

I love this place! The atmosphere is a little loud and it's usually pretty lively. The decor is a mix between industrial/modern and a touch of rustic. They've got tons of seating, a cute fireplace indoors and igloos/ fire pit outside. They also have a great selection of drinks and some pastries to choose from as well. You can find your usual drip coffees, lattes, americanos and cold brew here along with some different in house made flavors like butter pecan, lavender or amber. I opted for a mocha iced americano this time and a strawberry tart. Delicious! Between the friendly staff, Good coffee and overall vibe of this place I will continue to keep coming back! read more

Such a great find with thoughtfully created drinks. It gets really busy and the wait can be long, but definitely worth checking out.

Delicious coffee everyone! My favorite is the Amber latte and the seasonal gingerbread latte! This place is always popping with people working on their laptops or visiting with friends! Definitely a major hot spot for the area read more

FINALLY! Lone Tree has a legit coffee shop serving up a solid cup of joe. The shop is clean, super crisp and minimalist which is my type of shop and they're serving Sweet Bloom beans which is another reason to check this place out. There is ample seating and a nice area in front of the fireplace to keep you warm and cozy during the winter. The cortado is damn fine and goes down smoothly. The iced latte served with their house made vanilla syrup is flavorful and has the perfect amount of espresso and vanilla. Definitely going back to try their spicy chai and getting another cortado. read more

Coffee is OK. Ambiance is really nice. Customer service is trash. All the girls who work at this location have an attitude. Felt like an inconvenience as a customer lol. There is a gentleman who is usually taking orders when I come who is very nice, but there are definitely better coffee shops. Also, just wanted to share that tipping is OPTIONAL! Never feel forced. If I am ordering standing up, I don't tip :-) read more

I got a simple americano here while meeting a friend and it was $5.50 - admittedly I haven't been out much for coffee lately but that seemed very expensive. But the espresso itself tasted really bad. Waste of money. Good amount of space here, nice vibe, but very disappointed in coffee itself. read more

Gourmet Coffee...yes indeed. I cannot tell you enough that the coffee here is phenomenal. A coffee shop is only as good as its baristas, well they are all amazing here and make your drink with care. 4 stars because the morning I went, regular Tuesday at 9am, seating was very full and I couldn't find a place to sit. I wanted to get some work done, but unfortunately I couldn't find a seat. I'm not sure if it's always like that, but was bummed I had to run in and run out. Prices are also a bit high in my opinion, but it's gourmet so I guess it's worth it? I already feel like Starbucks is a rip off knowing that it only costs them cents to make a late, so when a place is even pricier it's hard for me to justify paying more. I wanted to buy a bag of coffee but was also surprised the price for just a half pound bag. Overall, I'll be back and I'm not sure I've had a better cup of coffee in the Lonetree area. Great atmosphere, amazing coffee and friendly baristas. Well done! read more

Stumbled upon Monk & Mongoose Gourmet Coffee and it is a trendy little coffee shop in a nice town center. Admittedly, we chose this one over some other coffee shops because of the name. Good on ya, branding folks. The shop itself is super cute inside with a ton of space for those needing a place to work, study, chill, etc. They had some patio seating as well and it looked like there were a couple of garage door type of walls that can be opened up on nice days. A nice space with some good coffee too - I went for a nice cold brew on the first semi-sunny day that we were in town. That perfect subtle cold brew flavor was exactly what I was looking for. No sugar or cream needed. read more

Nice place. Coffee was great. Only complaint is no air movement whatsoever. Install a ceiling fan just to get things moving

Nice little coffee shop. Very cute and clean. According to my husband the coffee is good, the chai tea latte isn't too bad either. We also had a piece of apple crumble slice. It was ok. Overall it's a nice place but nothing spectacular. I liked the bottles of still and sparkling water near the door, just enough water for two glasses. read more

Amazing vibe, great coffee, and welcoming staff. No wonder it's so highly rated. My new home base.

If you're looking for a perfectly brewed tea ranging from white to black, come here! They take it seriously with pots that brew to specific temperatures and brew times! You will not get a burned white tea here as you where almost everywhere else. Only reason I couldn't give them 5 stars is the baked goods and lattes were hit and miss. First vanilla latte was perfection: strong with a deep caramel-vanilla flavor reminded me of creme brûlée. The second was lukewarm, watery and had little vanilla flavor. I felt awkward about requesting a remade one because it was really busy at the time I was served but I got the vibe they'd remake it. One note is that when this place is busy it gets L O U D. My Bose Noise Canceling headphones could barely block the edge of volume. But the people who work here are friendly, great, and enjoyable! read more
