Monks

For better or worse, Dubuques' living room.
But seriously, one of the best places to go for coffee, or something a little heavier. Good selection of beer and liquor. Bartenders know their stuff. They host good music from time to time as well, chill place.

Ohhh How great the coffee is here. You have to see for yourself how funny, nice and cheerful the service is here when you come here for a coffee. I haven't met such friendly people for a long time. And the decor is absolutely brilliant.

I have been coming into Monks for almost 15 years now & it is always the nicest most eclectic coffee house/bar in Dubuque. People are always super friendly & the staff is awesome!

Such a cool, eclectic spot! Great coffee and a few beers on tap along with whiskey collection. We’ve never seen anything like it. Fun and friendly bartender. Old house with lots of seating options. Hole in the wall charm❤

Out of towners stopped in on a snowy morning in desperate search of delicious coffee - and wow were we in for a treat. Ordered beverages for 8 people, all were delicious and our barista (who is owner) was very chill and happy to make our drinks. Absolutely loved the local art and overall vibes, would love to come back if we’re in the area again!

This is a fun place to stop in and look around. Get yourself a coffee or something a little stronger 😉
Cool things to look at in every corner.

Been coming here for years and thought about putting in a review. Awesome concerts, best irish coffee in town (regular coffee drinks are good too). Extremely relaxed and at-home feel. Best place to go play D&d. Just all around fantastic bar. What would take it over the top would be to add a lil breakfast kitchen.

Amazing coffee and such a cool place! The great part is that they serve coffee until midnight almost daily. If looking for that late night espresso or pick me up, this is definitely the place to go. Spoken from a true coffee finatic!

Community activist groups inspire, caffeinate and wax poetic at this charming bar and coffee house.

Best coffee I've had. Forget about Starbucks and Dunkin, this is the place to go. It's a very quaint place in downtown Dubuque. I drove in from out of town and chose the first place that seemed local. What a great choice! If you have the chance to visit the place I hope you'll be as pleasantly surprised with the quality like I was. Don't forget to tip!

This place is beautiful! The barista/bartender is really friendly and welcoming! The prices are just great!
Highly recommended! It's literally number 1 to go place in Dubuque & 1 of my top 10 in the US!

💜💜💜💜💜five hearts. Love that this place exists. Dubuque x pat from the Take 5 days here. So happy this space lives on. Welcoming and comfortable. Our mocha and chai were perfect. Good music, good vibes. PS thanks for having multiple non-dairy milks and not charging extra for them.

Was in Dubuque, IA today picking up a JD tractor. After making my wife wait 1 hour she told me I needed to treat her to a coffee. She said she found a place on Google... Monks. What a find.

It reminded me of the old, 2-story, brick buildings found in German Village in Columbus, OH... inviting and quaint, a real "feel good" sort of place.

Inside you are surrounded by brick, a gemisch of comfortable seating and various pieces of art and bric-a-brac... an intimate setting shared with people that were both friendly and engaging. They offer a bar with a fine assortment of whiskeys and craft beers along with the regular players, various sweet treats, possibly breakfast sandwiches (as mentioned by a neighboring merchant), live music in the lower level... and first and foremost coffee.

My wife had a Chai Latte... Rich and Creamy. She loved it. I had a cappuccino... It was perfect. I don't say this lightly. It is my ongoing quest. I rarely give 5-stars for anything. I always tell friends something has to make my toes bend back and my eyes to roll into my noggin before I would doll out a "5"... But a perfect cup of cappuccino and a place so darned comfortable gets it hands down... Kudos!!!

Coffee was outstanding. Place is so comfortable. Stop in grab an cup and sit and just relax. Perfect

Excellent atmosphere, stopped by after a long walk with kids along the Mississippi River walk. Orange soda for the kids and latte for me and a round of chess. We even spotted a working accordion there where my boys got to play it for fun. Super friendly owner and if you are a Cubs fan.... you have a place here! At night you can enjoy a nice selection of Microbrews as well!

Really cool, eclectic vibe. The kind of place where you will enjoy hanging out with friends for drinks.

We visited this funky little coffee shop during a weekend visit to Dubuque. We ordered cold brews which were super flavorful and had great service! Love the Golden Girls theme on the inside and would be curious to visit at night when this place turns into a bar!

Monks is an awesome kaffee pub to come relax with your coffee and laptop. Definitely reccomend. Nice environment and awesome staff.

This was one of the best stops on our motorcycle trip. We took Uber here from the hotel and had an amazing time. We had a great evening with great staffing.

Very unique place; good coffee and a cozy environment. The selection of alcohol is pretty nice.
