Love the Blue Monkey. I've had their pastries, ice creams, sorbets and foods and the quality of all of them is excellent....It's located in the "busy part" of Commercial St, so it's easy to see and get to. Just between the Library and the Lobster Pot. Love that they make their sugar cones right on demand...it's so cool to see them make the cones....FUN! Check it out if you are in the area...DELISH !!! read more

Came here with friends and immediately loved the vibe. From the cute French music playing to the whimsical decor. The service was fast and friendly. The drinks and food were delicious. We came for brunch. I am celiac and have to eat gluten free. There were plenty of options for me here. I had the eggs Benedict on gluten free bread. I loved it here and would absolutely come back. read more

Well we only came here for to-go coffees but the coffees truly took forever to come and realistically weren't much to write about. The decoration inside was nice though and would likely be a decent place for breakfast! read more

Looking for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, it was right where we needed it to be. Indoor and outdoor seating, perfect to enjoy a cup of coffee and a pastry. It was also the perfect location to people-watch at the same time. Love the white fence around the seating, just set the tone. Perfect for the afternoon, though go earlier so you will have more choices. At the end of the day, they were a bit limited. read more

Sure isn't the Purple Feather! I've been trying to get back there since I was a regular before it sold and the name changed... I loved the gelato (when it was under the previous owners) and would treat myself frequently while in town. Well, it wasn't open most of the week-even though the sign said that it was open on Friday. (It wasn't). Walked by on Saturday, saw that it was actually open, went in to maybe try the gelato, got ignored...and left. Found out that they're not very nice people from former staff. Sad. Plenty of other places to spend my money in p-town. read more

I was looking for a nice birthday cake for my dear friend. Custom cakes bakeries are a hard find in Ptown but Yelp brought me here (thanks Yelpers). So they only had 1 cake (carrot) and the cake was $80 (yes thats correct. The other choice was terramesu which I got 6 servings at $7.00 each. They also have gelato (many choices) which was fine. Customer service was barley there. read more

If gelato and alcohol don't sound good together, don't order this. Thinking along those lines, I tried the Salted Caramel gelato cocktail anyways...and loved it! Would I drink this all the time? No. Certainly not low-cal. But, it's a fun detour from a regular sweet treat and I would easily do it again! read more

A cute restaurant mostly offering breakfast and brunch items as well as ice-cream and pastries. The food is ok, a bit pricey, but good enough. No large complaints, but nothing too spectacular also. I had the Jeeves which was eggs, sausage, bacon, smoked salmon and toast for $21! Their online menu isn't updated by the way so don't go by those prices. read more

Wow, what happened to this place? Did it get sold? It used to be so cute and fun, with lots of yummy treats and drinks that came in these really nice, bug, artsy mugs. A lot of the decorations are still there, but the fun sure isn't. There wasn't even any music playing when I came in today! All you could hear was the hum of the refrigerators. There wasn't nearly the selection of goodies to choose from, and the service was pretty much "whaddaya want?" I only come to P-town for day trips, and therefore have a limited time to enjoy myself . I certainly won't be using any of that time at this place in the future read more

Great food and ambiance. Service not so much. I'd go again but not expect refills etc.

I've been here a few times for lunch but this was my first visit for breakfast. Everything was delicious and fresh.

Cute decor, mediocre food, Teutonic management ("You must move your suitcases from our emergency exit"), 100% disinterested staff. Avoid. Get coffee and pastry elsewhere. read more

We stopped by as we were heading back to the PTown ferry. I'm sad no one told us about this place. It's so cute! Staff is very friendly, the eggs Benedict was the best we've ever had!!! And the gelato ice cream was rich and creamy. Best ice cream we've had in quite some time! I definitely recommend stopping by for brunch, or just for the ice cream!m Oh and Sheneika and Nicholas are amazing!!! read more

The food is fresh, prepared to order and the staff is very friendly. The breads and pastries are made fresh daily. I had the lobster Benedict which was full of lobster and a smooth creamy hollandaise sauce. My husband had a bacon and cheese omelette with toasted fresh baked bread. We also had red and white sangria which was pretty tasty. Oh and last night we had some scrumptious pastries and gelato. Our son loves the gelato, which he has had on every trip. Definitely will be back. read more

The Blue monkey is our favorite breakfast spot here I Ptown! The coffee is excellent! The English breakfast tea superb. Full breakfast of eggs sausage hash browns and toast was spot on! Today I tried the croissant and it was light and flakey, I could have been in a Paris cafe. My wife greatly enjoyed the eggs Florentine. Definitely would recommend stopping in! read more

Manager told me I could not finish speaking, never is that ok. Before that I had asked if I could sit outside because I was hot. He said that table is a four top. Then I said, but it's not reserved and I'm already here and it's actually a three top. He said "let me check hold on." He never came back to the table. I started to get up and leave the restaurant b/c no one was helping me or responding. the waiter came after a 10 min wait and said "what can I get you." I said the manager never came back to tell me if I could move tables. He said yes you can. I walked outside, and the manager lied and said he told me already I could not sit there. I said no you never came back to give me a final answer after I asked you a second time. He kept interrupting me, and I said, please let me finish, and a nice tone of voice. He raised his voice and said no. He was very controlling and rude and to tell someone they are not allowed to speak is never OK. Even if there was some communication misunderstanding , he could've let me finish speaking. read more

The staff was friendly and attentive. Our niciore salad and garden salad with grilled chicken were fresh and tasty. The homemade dressings were delicious. Loved the patio seating. read more

Came here for breakfast and had a wonderful experience. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, and the food was delicious.

Staff was very slow. Our water cups were empty the whole time. I had to go in and ask three people for the check. The food was okay, nothing special for the price. read more

Stopped in for the outside seating and cafe food. The quiche literally had no egg and was more of a microwaved torte. The salad was $19 with chicken that was dry af. The drinks were good but overpriced. Service was overall good minus the food quality. Meh. read more

The avocado toast was on rye bread. It was very good. The breakfast was a $9.00 breakfast for the price of $20. It was nothing special, but it was good. read more

The owner is abusive and a control freak. He accosted my friend and stuck his finger in her gelato all because he said she didn't follow directions. Upon walking in there are signs facing the dining room wait to be seated. My friends wanted gelato and not a seat in the dining room. There were two small tables to the side near the registers. None of the staff had an issue with my friend sitting there while she ate her gelato. The owner bulldozed his way over and demanded that my friend leave and her order was "to go" because she didn't ask him to be seated. The place was empty and he actually ignored her originally when she tried to get his attention to be seated. She thought the staffs acknowledgement to sit was enough. He demanded she leave. He grabbed her hand with the gelato in it and it slipped and his thumb went into her gelato! He didn't even offer to give her her money back. She ate around the finger mark just to prove a point she won't be bullied. He threatened to call the cops and she told him if he doesn't she will just because he laid his hands on her. He wound up canceling the cops as per the police and my friend filed a police report. This guy shouldn't be in business. No one should be treated like this. He was beyond extra. He was nice to my friend and her friends last year as he was a new business owner in town. This year his staff doesnt look happy either. Mr Owner you owe my friend an apology and she has every right to get loud with hog for touching her. Your gestapo style won't work if you want to stay in business. By the way, she caught it all on camera, so be careful how you respond or it will go viral on YouTube. You should be ashamed of yourself. read more

The menu was very over-priced, which is what one should expect when visiting Ptown, but when the food is under whelming and the service is sooo bad that you're embarrassed to admit to your friends where you went for your $53 breakfast, then try any other place! No smiles by any of the staff, food was served luke-cold, asked for a coffee refill (after waiting 15 minutes to see if anyone would come out of the kitchen to assist) and got the bottom of the cold pot (including grounds in order to get the cup 2/3 filled) and then had to ask (and again wait an additional 15 minutes) for our bill. We wouldn't say that this establishment was necessarily practicing prejudice or snobbery, but the extremely frigid customer service certainly made us feel like outsiders and unwanted. The place was empty (except us) at 12 noon, and we definitely understand why. Don't just stay away, stay far away! read more

Came for brunch. Sat inside, but super close to another table. It was muggy and had minimal airflow. Mid-ordering the bell in the kitchen rang, and waiter left us to go grab three different orders. Upon returning, he just gestured at us finish ordering. Had omelet, waffle, and eggs Benedict. Never have I ever met home fries/potatoes I didn't like, but these were terribly bland! They were perfectly cooked, but NO flavor at all. Never checked on us during our meal. Waffle and omelet were ok. Nothing I'd go back for. read more

Delicious decaf cappuccino service American or Italian style -- and lots of decadent deserts on display. Nice staff. Great location just minutes from parking. read more

Staff was on top of all Covid safety and managed demanding costumers with ease. Food and experience was very good and service too. Provincetown is a very busy place in summer and many of the tourist are very inconsiderate given the demands of the pandemic. So consider your expectations accordingly when writing and reading reviews. read more

Excellent lunch menu and sandwiches are great and cool spot to have friends to chill with. I highly recommend this spot for there amazing service and they are very welcoming. If I was the PHANTOM GOURMET I would give this place an A+ for service and great food and drinks. GELATO Cocktails will get you coming back for more L.O.L. read more

High prices, slow service, small portions, very mediocre food... we didn't even get all of our food-- they said they'd bring breakfast potatoes because they weren't ready yet, but they never came. Don't bother. read more

Charming little cafe with friendly staff. Delicious and fresh lunch. Strictly adhering yo COVID guidelines and clearly have the safety of the customer in mind. Unable to take photo of our eggs Benedict and Cabin Boy sandwich because we ate it all! read more

Food is mediocre at best, service is absolutely awful. Many of other better managed cafes to go to in Provincetown. Get your ish together.

Bloody Mary had sugar in it? Who does that? Food, service, and seating good otherwise.

Very cute place and looks very promising, but. The food is just not French and very expensive for what you get. Croque madame is just a grilled cheese sandwich, with the simplest bread and cheese + 2 poached eggs (even without salt). Wiener Schnitzel was a piece of a meat drowning in a sour cream with some cucumbers. Please, this is not even close to European cafe. It is just very expensive, not aesthetic and flat. After this meal, we did not want to try the ice cream/gelato(?) which seemed promising. read more

Awesome place for coffee, delicious cakes and best of all - Italian style cups of gelato! We love this place. Also great and very caring hosts and staff, despite very busy times. read more

Went for breakfast. Excellent double espresso. Fried eggs over easy, pancakes, avocado toast and a very tasty "rosti" of fried potatoes and sautéed mushrooms were superb. Highly recommend for breakfast, especially if you like really good coffee. read more

The ice cream is rolled ice cream. It was served in a fresh made cone. So the desserts were on point! The breakfast French toast was a little dry. I wasn't a fan of the entree. But the place was clean and we enjoyed sitting out on the front porch. Go by and get an ice cream cone! read more

It was fine. Better places to spend your money with friendlier staff. Kind of a confusing set up. We definitely will not be back.

Terrible customer service. The server was extremely rude and possibly racist? Me and my wife (interracial couple) were treated very differently to other guests. read more
