Nobody is a stranger.

Monarch is proud to call downtown Tuscaloosa home. Whether it’s your first time or your 500th, we want to greet you like an old friend. There’s something about a proper cappuccino, a well-made pour over, a room full of strangers, a morning routine, a familiar face that awakens us. The ordinary act of sharing space somehow satisfies the hunger for camaraderie within us all, while fueling creativity in each and every personal endeavor. Monarch’s a place to brush shoulders with someone new, enjoy an unexpected conversation, see a problem you’re facing in different light.

WHAT OUR REGULARS ARE DRINKING

  • I love the rose lavender latte - it's just the right amount of sweet.

    Liz

  • Why choose one when you can have both? I’m all about starting my day with a hot oat milk cortado… strong, creamy, and always barista-inspired with whatever syrup combo they’re loving. Then I balance it out with an iced latte that feels more like dessert. That combo of coffee depth and sweet refreshment is the best of both worlds.

    Brandon

  • The first cup has to be black coffee, Americano or drip. But after that, I love a honey cinnamon cap.

    Nathan

  • My summer go to is an iced vanilla latte with oat milk & my winter drink is an iced dirty chai latte with oat milk.

    Maggie

  • When I was new to coffee, the drink that kept me coming back was the Iced Cuban, add Honey + Cinnamon. The spiciness of the cinnamon pairs really nicely with the sweetness of the honey and is a nearly perfect medley.

    Isaac

  • I’ve ordered a mocha at every coffee shop I’ve tried, Monarch’s mocha always wins.

    Emma

  • I love ordering the matcha at monarch because of the quality in both the matcha they use and the way they make it! I can always count on my matcha lattes to be smooth in texture, vibrant in color, and balanced in flavor regardless of which barista is making it! My favorite way to enjoy it is iced with a little bit of vanilla, honey, and cinnamon!!

    Delaney

  • I always order a drip coffee or breakfast blend tea. Not only is Monarch great at the drinks and food they make but they have also created a diverse, warm, and welcoming environment right in the heart of Tuscaloosa. Monarch feels like home. I’m there most days and the days that I’m not there I’m wishing I was!

    Will

  • My go-to drink at Monarch is a plain iced latte because it’s the BEST espresso in town. I love that literally every time I walk through the door I see a familiar face that I feel truly cares about me. I was a 19 y/o sophomore in college the first time I came to monarch and now as 27 y/o post grad girl boss it’s STILL my favorite coffee in town :) ❤️❤️

    Mary Hannah

  • Can’t say enough good things about the Monarch staff and the best cappuccino and fresh baked goods in T’town. Awesome!

    Donny

  • I love the latte and the tropical tea. Hugh loves the Cuban. Sarah loves the homemade granola bowl. Monarch is our happy place.

    The Boraks

  • Historically, I’ve always grabbed a black coffee or just a simple cortado if I need a little extra kick without the leche content you would acquire in a cappuccino. Of late, I’ve been adventurous: triple iced latte sweetened with lavender. I’m not really privy to change, but as a teacher, I need that extra boost for my morning duty occasionally.

    Parker

  • Cap for me all day errryday. Saturday family dates are three avocado toasts, a cap, and a cortado for Lexi.

    Charles

  • Espresso tonic with an orange or lemon wedge. Lots of ice.

    Russell

  • A drip coffee, black. It wakes you up and makes you feel alive. Honey Cinnamon latte with whole milk (yummm). Ham and cheese scone saves my life at least 2 mornings a week.
