The Frothy Monkey capitalized on the desert coffee craze by debuting The Monkey, its signature coffee beverage, a chocolate banana confection that tastes like a melted banana split. Follow that with a fresh muffin or cookie, jam packed with surprising ingredients such as butterscotch and cranberries and you’ll be feeling … like a monkey rattling the bars of its cage. No worries, the cozy little shop also offers beverages that don’t make your teeth ache: fresh coffees and lattes prepared with organic dairy, juices and teas. The neighborhood coffee house is located in the 12th South neighborhood, now officially more up than coming. It’s a choice hangout for local laptop tappers who drink up the wireless Internet as quickly as they do the coffee. The Frothy Monkey’s organic, healthful menu, appealing to both carnivores and herbivores, often gives college student customers extra reason to stay studious through lunch.
