I was stranded in Franklin, desperate, looking for coffee late at night, Frothy Monkey came through for me. I ordered the Monkey Mocha to go at like 8:45pm and it was top notch delicious! The atmosphere here was super cool too and the staff members were very friendly. Overall I had a great experience here and would highly recommend coming in here!

I met a few friends for our monthly dinner here and it was so good! We had to wait a few for a table, but it's a small space and we had a party of 5. We had dinner and drinks, and everything was wonderful! I even had a lavender old fashioned, and it was so good! I am usually not a fan of people messing with the old fashioned, but they did a good job here. The happy hour special on Wednesday is pretty good, so you should give it a go. I also love how much can be made gluten friendly. Lots of their no gluten symbol on the menu plus GF bread for all the sandwich and burger options.

Great spot to settle in and get some work done. The soup was great and the staff kept my coffee cup full as I worked!

We stopped in one afternoon recently while it was raining. The vibes of the rain mixed with the inside vibes gave me all the fall feels. I felt like I was in a coffee shop in Boston. It was heavenly. Anyways, the staff was great, the menu had lots of variety. There was a fresh flower on each table. As you are seated they greeted us with water. The charcuterie board was the perfect “girl dinner.” I can’t wait to stop back in.

My wife and I went to Frothy Monkey 🐵 most places were closed that day but they were open. I gotta tell you that I was really impressed with this place. They took a home and made it into a coffee shop and it’s really homey! This place is great. We were near a booklet with books that you can checkout while you are there. I ordered the Havana Latte and my wife got the Rosemary Honey Latte and both of them were delicious! Also we got some good and I got the Royale sandwiche🤴🏼 and wife got Shrimp and grits 🍤 Gotta tell you the wife was impressed with the grits she loved it and my Royale was very good 👍 If you are looking for a nice coffee ☕️ place with really good food I suggest you give it a try because we loved it! Great atmosphere and also they have a lot of seating especially upstairs!

The food was amazing. The coffee was perfectly sweetened. The biscuit platter hit the spot to start. The whipped feta was the best I had tasted. Then the Gali chicken salad was scrumptious.

Wonderful. For a busy Saturday morning this was so warm and quick service. The Monkey Mocha was suggested by Grace our sweet server and it was delicious. Omelet was perfect and the french toast was massive.

More than a coffee shop. This place has a full and varied menu. I had the shrimp n grits. The flavor was spot on. I wish the grits were a little thicker, like the side of grits my wife had, but it was a tasty dish nonetheless. Service was great and a team effort. My son said his french toast was some of the best he's ever had. I would give the food a 4.3 and the coffee a for 4.7.

Very fun little place for a relaxing treat. It was so nice to find a place that serves breakfast food all day. The food was delicious and so was the latte!

We really enjoyed this place! Everything we ordered was delicious. We got a couple boards, salad, sandwiches, soup, and everything we would get again. Customer Service was great! We were a family of four adults and two children, and they put us kind of in a private room, which was very much appreciated.
