A hidden gem of Clinton Hill (hopefully not for long because I want this place to succeed)! Monkey Tiger serves cafe fare with drinks and pastries in the morning, as well as lunch/dinner options with a Korean twist starting at 11am. Full bar with a cocktail menu, too. Casual enough for friends and cute enough for date night. Friendly service. Great coffee and matcha.

Stopped in for coffee with a large group of runners and they were so accommodating and were pretty speedy with drinks given our size. Beautiful and spacious interior with an outdoor space as well for warmer weather.

Stopped in for a coffee, gratefully they were open Thanksgiving morning, so I was caffeinated for my drive out of the city. The baristas were delightfully friendly, the coffee was expertly made and poured, and they even heated up my delicious cheese danish for me. All around an excellent experience!

So glad I found this spot! I was looking for a place to do some work, and this is one of the only places I know that is open and okay with laptops at night. They have a beautiful interior, a lot of seating, outlets, WiFi, and plenty of options for food and drink. They have coffee and pastries, but also a restaurant and full bar! I wanted dinner, so I ordered a cocktail and the vegetable kimbap, which also came with free banchan. I've eaten a decent amount of Korean food, and everything here was really fresh and delicious. I really encourage checking out this place, whether you're looking for somewhere to work or just enjoy a meal or drinks.

Cutest cafe ever – Monkey Tiger! We had mango and strawberry soju cocktails and they were so good. Hosu and Ku from Nepal were working there, and they were super cheerful and friendly. It felt like hanging out with friends! They also recommended some yummy Korean food, which the cafe serves too. We loved it so much, we came back the same day! Highly recommend!

Everyone who works here is incredibly sweet and attentive. The coffee drinks are delicious, and the food from both the Korean restaurant downstairs and the cafe is delicious. The space is very large and clean and the ambience is very calming. My absolute only issue is that the tables are too low for the bench seating/benches are too high for the tables. But I love this place, I come with my classmates and alone!
