Monk & Mongoose Coffee Co
9580 RidgeGate Pkwy d, Erie, CO
Crema's Take
“Monk & Mongoose excels at that rare combination of being both a serious coffee destination and a genuinely welcoming third space where you can linger for hours without feeling rushed. The staff consistently delivers fast, friendly service even during the inevitable weekend rushes, and their specialty drinks—particularly their matcha and chai lattes—go beyond coffee-shop basics with real care and flavor. If you want a trendy, comfortable spot with better prices than Starbucks and the kind of atmosphere where families, laptop workers, and coffee enthusiasts all coexist peacefully, this is worth seeking out.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

This is such a great little coffeehouse. Out of the way, quiet, and cool. Trendy interior vibe. The staff is super friendly and there’s never s long wait. Check it out!
Visited the Lone Tree location today and it was wonderful. It had snowed outside, but this place was completely packed. Despite the line out the door, our service was fast, fun, and friendly. My Matcha was made perfectly (flavored and Iced!) and our treats were warmed to…
We came to Monk & Mongoose to enjoy our Saturday. It was very busy but very welcoming. I got the chai latte and it was so cozy. The ha and cheese croissant was delicious and the burrito with the salsa verde was so refreshing. The seats by the fireplace were very comfy.
I like this coffee shop location due to its proximity to Sky Ridge - it was a nice break when waiting for my husband to get his appendix out :) It's on the louder side so even though I saw many people on their laptops, I personally would not enjoy working remotely or studying…
Gourmet coffee & tea. Staff is polite and helpful. Charming, pleasant decor, very comfortable. Prices better than Starbucks. With a corner location, there are plenty of seats inside and out along both streets. There even a couple of electrical boxes in the outside seating area…
