Mon Cafe

I usually get green tea latte in starbucks, that’s my fav! Last time when I passed by mon café, I get in and ordered a «mocha green tea latte », the customer service was so great, but my mocha green tea latte was so bad !!! It just like a regular Milk with green color… I won’t come back anymore even I still living in Washington manor:(

Friendly staff, fresh and delish panini & salad for lunch with a cozy quaint atmosphere, what more can you ask for?
The turkey and havarti panini was one of the best I have had. It came equipped with all the produce possible. Tomatoes, lettuce, red onion, cucumber and peppers. It was a party for my taste buds with the warm gooey cheese and hearty wheat bread.
It is a great local «mom and pop» coffee shop. It has a very laid back casual vibe and I never felt rush to leave after I was finished eating lunch.
I’m glad I gave them a try for a meal and looking forward to coming back.

Cute little coffee & tea shop!
This place has all the specialty drinks you can think of and them some! They make my mocha extra chocolaty. just the way I like it! They have a few breakfast items to choose from. Lots of options on bagel choices. Luv the asiago with extra cream cheese. my body doesn’t need all those calories… but I’m addicted.:-) A few lunch items are available as well. There is seating available inside with soft cushy pillows and a table and chairs outside for your enjoyment as well. Do you bring your dog with you wherever you go? If so, no prob! Free dog treats and water available for your 4 legged friend!
All around great staff and nice local kickback spot.

Very cute and comfy little café in San Leandro!
Came here on a Sunday morning for a catchup session with friends, and we had a great time here with good coffee and food. Very chill setting, and not crowded either.
Coffee– I first have to say that they got some pretty unique names for their drinks so it can be a little confusing as you’re wondering what you’re about to order. However, staff was really pleasant and easy going and happily explained to me what their drinks consisted of. I got myself the torpedo! MmMmm. It was coffee, steamed milk, and cocoa powder. Not bad! It was more towards the sweet mocha side, but I still enjoyed it even though I generally like the stronger coffee/​less sweet drinks.
Tea Lattes: My friend got the green tea latte, and tried a bit of it. It was alright though. It didn’t have the strong tea kick to it, so a little bland for my taste. I’m still curious about their Chai latte though so thats my next to try.
Food– I got the breakfast platter and it was very delightful to look at! Check out the pic I took of it on their photos page. I’m low carbin it, so it was nice that I was able to sub the toast and potatoes for some healthy greens with no extra charge. They also gave me a good amount too. AWESOME. I don’t know, most breakfast joints usually don’t like substitutions, or charge extra when you do, so I’m happy Mon Café is good about that. Friends got their sammies, and told me it was quite tasty. THUMBS UP.
Staff– Great customer service, and love their pleasant and cheery attitudes.
For about $ 10, I got myself a grande size drink, and full breakfast plate. I’ll definitely have to drop by here again to see how I like studying/​getting work done in the environment. But if you’re just here for coffee/​food– you’re good to go :)
Stuff to check out while here: Really random, but I loved their posters! It was super amusing and funny to read about coffee in a comic manner.

I like this place, but I don’t think this will be a regular spot for me. The Rocky Road Mocha was very good, but a little too sweet for me. I got a breakfast bagel sandwich, which was pretty filling, but nothing amazing that I couldn’t make myself.
My friend got a panini that was pretty good as well. I would definitely suggest this as a place to go for quick and simple bite to eat if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of other brunch places. It did take some time for everything to come out, but if you have the time to sit and lament over how much alcohol you consumed the night before, than this place will be perfect.

Customer service was terrible when I went here. I went to support my local café and ordered a simple bagel sandwich in a hurry. Due to my diet I can’t eat bacon so I ask for tomato instead. It comes with chopped bacon bits that I couldn’t just take off without losing half the sandwich, but this still isn’t a big deal to me, I’ll just return it, no complaints, it happens. Where things go terrible is the manager was very rude about it, never apologized and made me out like I was the one who screwed up making all sorts of nasty faces about it. So thanks for nothing.

I found the menu on my windshield and told myself I had to try it — So 7 of us did.
We had a very large and confusing order — Everything was done the way I order it, all 7 of us really enjoyed our food. The ½ sandwich and salad was the perfect amount for me.
I think I have found my new favorite sandwich shop. Now I just need to try the coffee

I work in the area and found this place on Unilocal a while ago. Ever since, I’ve been coming here and I can say the food is excellent. I’ve never had anything sub-​par, and the coffee drinks are good as well. I especially like their chai tea latte, white chocolate mocha, and their veggie crunch sandwich.
The owner is a very nice lady who seems genuinely interested in her customers and the quality of the food/​drinks she prepares.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! :)
I’m not much of a coffee drinker so I cant comment on how well they make their drinks but the food is AMAAAAAYYYZING!
They dont just have stuff to eat with coffee, they also have sandwhiches and an array of other good stuff. My absolute favorite is the turkey panini. It’s the first thing I tried and it’s the reason I’ve come back time after time.

This is one of the best little coffee shops I’ve ever been to! It has pretty comfortable chairs and the staff is extremely nice. They have a decent size menu and I havent had anything but the different fraps.
They are really good. It’s not all watery and it doesnt all taste the same liek at starbucks. The different flavors have very distinct tastes. My first time at the shop, I just ordered a coffee frap but asked her to make it sweet. I’m not sure what she did but it was soooo good. I haven’t been able to find the same drink on their menu yet. I’ve ordered a few different fraps, all still good, but not as good as the first time I’ve had it.
They also have free WiFi. The only thing I would complain about is that they aren’t open enough hours. They’re open from 10−6pm on the weekdays. I wish they were open later and on the weekends only until 2pm. The outside area looks kinda sketchy but I haven’t seen or heard of anything happening before. It’s just a quiet area.
Overall, I go here as much as I can when I’m in the area. Best coffee shop ever!

I love cute café and this is a cute café.
It’s quiet and has great seatings. It’s not loud and a great place to go to for an espresso if you needed it.
I am also a snob of coffee chain. It is a great local hang out. I am not yet a big fan on their food. Their house coffee is good but it isn’t hot in the late afternoon.
I come here often if I am craving some alone time with my espresso. :)

Hecka random location I never would have found this place except we needed to do a business meeting somewhere in San Leandro and this came up in our search for a non-​chain place. I’m a massive starbucks hatin’ coffee snob and the cappuccino here today was PERFECT. Carrot cake was tasty too, and my friend’s grilled cheese n veggie sandwich looked amazing — fresh non wilty veggies and quality fruits on the side (blueberries, sliced bananas etc).
I also absolutely loved the art on the walls, asked staff about it and they said it was done by owner’s husband. Very unique little local gem worth checking out.

This may be five stars. If I passes the consistency test when I come back, I will be upgrading.
I stumbled upon Mon Café after a long walk while my car was being worked on. I sort of planned it as a destination, because it was the only non-​chain coffee shop I could find on Unilocal within a couple of miles. I stopped and bought some coffee and relaxed for awhile. The staff and clientele were friendly and the coffee was good. I couldn’t help but notice they had some tempting hot breakfast options. So I invited the rest of my family to come and have breakfast with me.
Between us, we had the Eggle (bagel sandwich with egg, bacon and cheddar), sausage gravy and biscuits, oatmeal, breakfast plate (two eggs, potatoes, bacon or sausage and toast) and fruit plate. Everything was very good. As simple as it was, the Eggle was outstanding and everybody wanted some of it. The large fruit plate was very generous with a great variety, including mango, blueberries, watermelon, oranges and bananas. We all enjoyed our meals, and I’m so pleased with myself for my discovery!
I’m especially glad I redeemed myself for a very poor choice the previous night (thanks a lot,
).

After running some errands with my husband in San leandro we decided to get a coffee. We both trying to avoid starbucks/​peets cos honestly their coffee is mediciore (bad coffee and super bland)
While reading their board I saw «rocky road and almond roca mocha» and sure it sounded good and something different than getting a usual latte or Capp… So we both decided to try it.
Both drinks are too sweet and bland!!! We both didn’t like it… no thanks! Just two sips and it got tossed… Bye!

I usually stop by sylantro next door to pick up phở for my boyfriend when I feel like being nice =P one day I was especially tired and in dire need of coffee, so I stopped by while I waited for my food. the owner is SUCH a sweetheart, and evidently she’s very cool with all her regulars. scanning the menu, I saw a drink called a torpedo. when I asked what it was, she explained it’s chocolate powder, mixed with an espresso shot, and then you fill the cup up with regular coffee.
HELL. YES. HELLLLLLLLL YES.
I’ve been drinking coffee since I was 12 so I think I’ve built a weird immunity to caffeine, and it takes alot just to keep me awake during the day. the drink here is still cheaper than your lame toffee nut caramel frappuccino from starbucks haha. love this place. I always try to pop by when I’m in the area. support your local coffee shop!
oh, and I also tried some of my boyfriend’s eggel. it was delicious.

They now serve hot breakfast. Simple, but unbeatable.

I’ve been to this place a few times in the morning at around 9:30 or 10. At the times I stop by, there are usually only a few other people hanging out inside the café, eating breakfast or chatting it up with the cashier or barista.
I came in the first time after I stopped by the post office. I ordered a quick coffee and was handed a cup so I can serve myself. There were four choices, I can’t seem to remember them off the top of my head. Next to the stand of choices was the milk and sugar. Let me just say that the coffee here is top notch.
I came in a second time to order a tea. The tea only comes in a large and costs $ 2. I went with the white tea, which was a good choice (just don’t let it steep too long!).
The employees here are friendly, usually in conversation with people who frequent this café. The atmosphere is nice for a small café.
I’ll have to come back to try the food.

Whenever I’m in the Manor area, I would always pass by this café and never go in.
My bf and I pass by today around 11 am today and there was no one there.
For those of you who wants to own a business and take over, well this café is up for sale. You can see the ad on Craigslist.
It’s great to see so many amazing reviews about this place, but it’s kinda sad that the owners want to sell it already.
Maybe next time, I’ll stop by and try their infamous Eggel and other stuff.

I’ve found it! I’ve found MY DRINK! There were many items on the menu and I couldn’t decide what to get until the nice lady behind the counter told be that the Chocolate Peanut Butter Iced Coffee with whipped cream was good. She was correct! I ordered a large and when my drink was ready she gave me the huge drink plus a paper cup with some extra peanut buttered chocolate iced coffee! YAY! The atmosphere is relaxed and the seats are comfy. I love this place and I think this will be my little coffee spot from now on. I have yet to try out the pastries and sandwiches but from the quality of the drinks, I can’t wait till I get the panini.

I’m all for supporting the local neighborhood spots. The coffee is decent. The americano has less shots than starbucks and is kind of pricey, but that’s understandable.
I tried a grilled cheese sandwich and boy was it yum! It came out with a ton of fruit.
Been wanting to try their breakfast.
