I’m the pickiest drinker when it comes to my morning mocha. So it means a lot when I say that Monkey Joe’s version is outstanding. You can taste the quality of their roasted beans.

I got a chocolate cream cheese gluten free muffin and a March coffee special, the Irish Cream latte. My barista was overall pretty nice, the latte was a little sweet but flavored well, and the muffin was crumbly, but hey, what am I expecting from a gluten free baked good? There are definitely a lot of monkeys, it lives up to its name, but creates an interesting and not necessarily positive vibe. There’s no wifi and the table I sat at was wobbly and the music was on the loud and annoying side. If you’re just getting coffee on your way to work and don’t intend to stay too long, this is the perfect coffee shop for you.

No ac no restrooms no wifi? Coffee was just ok.

This place is great. The smell of fresh roasted coffee beans hits you right in the face as soon as you walk in. They have a huge selection to choose from and they really mind how they prep it for you. If you do a hot coffee like I did, you can pick drip, slow pour or French press for the brewing of your cup. The staff is friendly and patience, which is awesome when you have so many option. Ill definitely be going here every time Im in the Kingston area.

A small little piece of heaven in the coffee seekers world. Found this to be among the best in the area. Even though parking is not always readly available it was Pleasant experience. Friendly and fairly knowledgeable staff. Actually knew the difference between Arabica, and Robusto bean when asked.My hat is off to the Monkey Joes establishment. Well done and thank you for a pleasant mornings experience.

The coffee here is so good and the staff is really nice.

Tasty coffee, nice staff and lots of monkey stuffed animals, which is a plus in my book.

By far the best Chai Ive ever tried!

Wanted a drink I would get in high school during the early 2000s and it was a good as I remembered. Fresh ground (in-store) beans from all over the world. Amazing staff too.

Best coffee in Kingston, always has been.

Amazing coffee and great prices! The staff is super lovely and always friendly.

Absolutely love monkey Joes, the 2 women that work that, that Ive seen are amazing and on top of everything . Never a disappointment.

Kingstons only coffee roaster and oldest coffee shop, Monkey Joe Roasting Company is off the beaten path but is definitely worth seeking out. Wide selection of in-house roasted beans, fresh brewed coffee (variety changes daily), and expert baristas who know their stuff re: espresso drinks make MJRC a must visit...often! Atmosphere is warm and fits with Kingstons historic vibe.Two staffers recently bought MJRC from original owners. They have continued the policy of not offering WiFi nor sandwiches. IMO this is positive as it encourages people to enjoy the coffee and each others company instead of going there to bury themselves in work. There are other places in town for that.I rarely have anyone elses beans in my house than Monkey Joes!

Like the coffee NOT so much a fann of the managers and or buisness accoiates of the buisness very opinionated women behind the counter

Love visiting fellow roasters when we travel. Great coffee and conversation. The espresso is hearty with hints of lemon and currant. The Costa is clean with a sweet finish and the Ethiopian is full bodied. Glad we stopped!

A great cup. 2 hotties run the shop. Service with a smile. Shwing..

Even in a pandemic, pleasant people and great coffee!

It’s Covid time and this heroic little coffee shop is open for pickupI was able to score a socially distanted table out front and enjoy my brewBeans roasted on premisesQuaint decor(though for now no indoor seating)No WiFi that I know of👍🏽All around

Amazing atmosphere and a wonderful staff

Great Coffee place ! The place for all your favorite coffee drinks plus. Would recommend you stop in and experience the friendly atmosphere and the delightful fresh coffee roasted on site.

I just parked in front of the place. Meter parking nothing fancy. Rates were average.

Loved it, lovely ambience, best latte ever!

Kingstons best coffee hands down! The service here is great. I had a great selection of caffeinated beverages to choose from all equally as good. The staff is pleasant and helped me make a great decision! I am coming here again!

I tried this place for the first time yesterday. Try some of their speciality drinks, they’re delicious.

Great coffee with friendly staff. They could use some more seating. Maybe add tables in the back. I rate it best in Kingston.

I really cant say enough nice things about Monkey Joes. They make my favorite latte and they have the sweetest staff - even when Im in there right as the doors open at 6:30 am on a weekday. The atmosphere inside is casual and unstuffy and always filled with the scent of roasting coffee. These guys are the real deal.

Older-style coffee house but with great drink options. Try the jazzy joe beans! Will continue to stop in every time Im in Kingston.

Best selection of espresso beans anywhere near here

Best place to get coffee in town. The smell of Freshly roasted beans gently floats down the streets is Delectable and makes your Mondays feel a little less mondaine and a little more manageable. Recommend the iced mocha with an extra shot for the senses.

I dont drink coffee and I love this place. Im here almost every day.

I really liked ambiance of the place, the staff was very friendly and helpful.Unfortunately I really did not enjoy their espresso at all. I am not a fan of how they roast their espresso beans, it is much too dark for my taste. My shot was very bitter with a strong burnt taste.

Great people and great coffee. Owners are very friendly. The young people love to hang out here. I highly recommend.

Roast their own coffee,prices not bad, beautiful space with tin ceilings and brick

Awesome drinks and service. Ive been coming here every once in a while since 2009 (the start of my freshman year of KHS) and ever since then the usual lady behind the counter remembers me. Shows how much they care!

Great coffee company

I remember when this local shop opened. The owner has always been very friendly to the younger people in the area. Spending winters inside the coffee shop was always especially nice. The owner would roast coffee himself. Between the warmth generated by the roasting and the amazing smell, it was always a great place to be.

They have coffee. An eclectic quirky place, with good coffee. Did I mention they have coffee?

Very nice coffeeshop in the heart of Kingston. I loved the service, the decor and the atmosphere. Kind of old school and very local.Everyone seemed really nice and relaxed, just like the town itself.

Great coffee, roasted on site. Nice atmosphere. Friendly and helpful baristas.

This is the best coffee house any place we have been! They roast their own beans Definitely worth the time! We will be ordering from them once we get home.

Pretty cool coffee shop, with a wide range of coffee beans. I was a bit disappointed in the pour over process, it took 10+ mins and the baristas were just chatting and forgetting about the pour over while it was just me in there.

Fresh, made with care and time. Always have 2 to 3 different kinds of coffee ready to go, no including the whole menu to also order from.

Fantastic whole grain coffee Slightly on the expensive side but fantastic tasting and fantastic smelling coffee that they roast themselves at the store

Always great service and coffee. I would definitely recommend buying from their wide range coffee selections. My recommendations would definitely be the sumatra and espresso for at home brewing.

Absolutely the best hot coffee in town. Try their cold drinks sometime as well!Ive been coming even more frequently (almost daily) since the review 10 months ago and they do not disappoint! Absolutely recommend.

Awesome coffee and tea.

Is always nice people working there. I love the fresh coffee.

Hands down, this is the best coffee I have ever tasted, love the dark roasting, especially the Ethiopian harrar and Sumatra.

Their coffee is the best in the Hudson Valley!! Their staff is awesome!

Great local coffee spot. Freshly roasted coffee always available. Good spot for home brewing supplies as well.

Really great product, but very small area to sit and enjoy coffee, was there when three four person tables were each occupied by one person. Great for take out, or as a gift.

The ambience is great, the coffee today tasted good (house decaf you pump for yourself, in a real mug) although it wasnt really hot.Unfortunately, I went in there to work and there is NO WIFI. I had to get a to go cup and drive to another location.

A lovely cafe with a vibrant and friendly staff. The beans available here are the best anywhere.

Gabe is the coffee master. Staff is really helpful and gives great service.

Love their coffee best in area and the baristas are just the best. Always a smile and a friendly word. Love, love, love this place

Liked it! Friendly staff, cool space, and great coffee. They have many different types of beans to choose from, which is exactly what I wanted! I will return!

Very nice place for fresh roasted coffee delish love the atmosphere and customer service

Always a pleasure walking into Monkey Joes. The staff is lively, and the coffee is great!

Great coffee. Staff knows blends serving and will help you select by taste. Roasting done on premises.

Decent brewed coffee that they also roast onsite. Very friendly staff (even at 6:30 in the morning!). Nice spot to pop in for a coffee and snack in Midtown Kingston.

Its a great coffee shop and very friendly staff. Its not up to date by any means but its still a wonderful place.

If you enjoy the aromas of fresh coffee blends, then youll want to take a beverage break here and soak in the many blends, its exhilarating!

Impressive latte with cashew milk. Love this café. Plenty of seating. Some desserts. Great service.

The best coffee in the Hudson Valley! Fair trade, local, nice people.

OKKKKKKK SIMPLY THE VERY BEST COfFEE, PEOPLE, and the highest consciousness shop ever!!!Ive been buying coffee and shipping to friends and my kids all over the world since FOREVER! I saw a low rating form two people. Its impossible to think that they were not bowled over as all of the rest of us are. This amazing business couldnt possibly have more delicious coffee and people across the board. If you are lucky enough to be able to stop by or order YOULL be Sooooo happy you did! Also when a store sells only Organic Fair trade coffee and also running there store on wind and solar you just gotta love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
