What a cute little Cafe! Menu varies, but all fresh prepared. The nicest people. Very relaxed and comfortable. Okoboji is lucky to have this new addition to the lunch scene!

The atmosphere is delightful. Love all the art. The latte I had was probably the best ever. Delicious pastries, and the other food looked amazing. But it must be said that you simply can't go here for a to-go drink, lol. I was leaving town after a wedding and stopped in, and getting one latte to-go took 25 minutes. Tempted to put three stars but it was too adorable for that. This would be 5 stars for sure for dining in, and I'd take cute local place over a drive-through chain any day, but I would have preferred a heads-up that it was going to be awhile since I had a 4-hour drive ahead of me. I'll be back, and it'll be when I can dine in, be leisurely, and not worry about timing!

The staff member who served us was the absolute sweetest, the food was delicious and the two drinks were so flavorful! I forgot to get a photo of my meal but it was great. I did snag a photo of the cutest piece of mini banana bread! The vibe in this place was very calm and artsy! Great place for a catch up with three friends.

Brittany (seemed like she was the owner) was one of the nicest people I've Ever met! I showed up when they were just closing, and she was still so nice and accommodating! She got me a coffee and then brought biscuits, a pastry and berries!! For just a quick stop for coffee it was one of the best experiences! Brittany is Awesome!

My wife and I stopped by this afternoon looking for a place to enjoy a beverage and complete some work. Monarch Art Cafe was the ideal place. Friendly staff and perfect atmosphere - thank you for the hospitality!

The atmosphere of the Monarch Art Cafe is cozy and relaxing! The staff are such amazing souls and put passion into their craft. As an out of state visitor, this was such a great place to sit down, relax, and get some work done. My oatmilk honey latte was pure bliss, and the quiche was one of the best I have ever had. If you aren't in a rush, and want a relaxing atmosphere to hang out for a bit, this is the place to go! I will definitely be bringing friends and family here the next time I am in town.

Really fun hidden gem coffee shop. Coffee was good and the food tasted very fresh. Highly recommend.

Such a delightful place! Great food and atmosphere. The staff is kind, genuine, and attentive.

Awesome place! We had the most amazing Machta latte with lavender, early grey and oat milk. The vibe was very chill and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back when visiting!

The crowds sure are busy in Okoboji. Lines are 45 minutes plus the wait for food. However, if you want a chill, cool, relaxing spot with little wait, Monarch Art Cafe is the place. The music is refreshing, the owner is patient, kind, attentive, personable, and she treats you like family. The food? FRESH and full of flavor! It's homemade with lots of love❤️ ! The coffee? Also amazing. You won't leave disappointed. We came back to eat here again because the food, coffee and service was excellent. We played some games while we waited-also a great place for kids, too! I highly recommend!

We just went for latte's and they are the best latte's I have ever had. We went to other coffee shops and Monarch Art Cafe has the best coffe and latte's. Most of the flavors they have are homemade. Can't wait to go back.
