They can do all sorts of flavors and that's why I like most about them and you can actually taste the flavors and it's not too much. I love getting banana added It makes it so freaking good. I hope this coffee shop sticks around because it's right down the road from my home and they are always so polite. Please show love to small businesses and go by and try this place you will not regret it. Even though I make a complicated order he is always asking if I need anything else and nothing is too complex for them.Five stars for you guys thank you Urban monkey!-Morgan

Must have been a down time when we went, because we were the only customers. Nonetheless, the barista was right there and ready to take our orders. The junky monkey, chocolate and banana flavor mix that absolutely SLAPPED, was great in both a cold latte with almond milk and a hot cappuccino. The mix of flavors was slightly different between the two, where the capp (even after cooling off significantly) tasted more like banana nut muffin, which was actually fantastic, but the iced latte was leaning more on a mocha flavor. Not sure why this is, because I doubt there are different amounts of flavor pumps between the drinks. Nonetheless, both were awesome.There were two guitars on stands in the seating area, so maybe some live acoustic music is played in the very small and cozy interior seating area on occasion, which sounds like a lot of fun. There are places to sit further from this spot as well, bordering on qualifying as a different room, which would make for a more isolated and cozy experience I would assume.The manager, according to the attendant, home makes the cheesecake to be found in the fridge across the room from the ordering counter. It was absolutely baller. Creamy and delicious with a nutty crust. Everything was worth every cent we paid!Dietary restrictions: According to the barista, they offer both oat milk and almond milk as dairy substitutes.

This morning I finally stopped at urban monkey coffee shop as soon as I walked in the door everything was so clean. The owner was very friendly and in good spirits. I ordered a vanilla frappe one of the best frappe’s I’ve ever had. I also got some home made cookie and brownies. if you’re ever on Eastern valley Road close to green pond, please stop by an support you will not be disappointed.

I was visiting a friend in the area and I needed some coffee ☕. Very friendly owner and very welcoming place. I only gave 4 stars because the coffee was not as strong as I will like it, other than that, I loved the welcoming energy. ? ?

We love having the Urban Monkey as our local coffee shop. This place is a gem. I keep finding favorites on their menu. Even the pastries are worth the trip by themselves! It's always a great treat to stop by there in the mornings! The owner and his staff are super nice. If you're ever in the area this is a must!

This is a great place for coffee. Welcomed from the time you walk inside. The coffee selection is wonderful. The small shop is clean, it has plenty of seating, and feels inviting. We highly recommend you visit.

This is a great local coffee shop to check out between Tuscaloosa and Hoover. The customer service is unmatched by any of the big chain coffee shops. If you are in the McCalla or West Blocton area or passing through you should definitely check it out!

I am a coffee fanatic. Being from Washington State coffee is a way of life for us. I like visiting and trying out local places over a commercial coffee brand.The owner was super personable and served up a delicious iced salted caramel latte. I think I will make it in again before my trip is over, and I would recommend it to any of the locals!
