Review: Jimmy Monkey Cafe







Now the one-north area can boast of a decent coffee joint.  The Jimmy Monkey Cafe has adopted a cute name and a casual industrial look and feel.  The piccolo latte was robust and full-bodied.  Not sure what sort of beans they use, but it leans toward a slight sourish note, which you probably cannot detect if you are not a serious or particular coffee drinker.  

I like that this Monkey cafe offers a fair selection of bites.  The food was not anything to die for, but decent.  Just that some items were just priced a little high side.  For example, our breakfast sandwich that was pre-made but toasted just before serving, was $12.   

The air was a bit still inside the cafe, so if you don't like to have a lingering stank, take-out or sit-out.  Other than that, I think it's a lovely addition to the indie joe joints that are now sprouting over the island.
