★★★★☆ 4.0 Danielle Cozzola · Feb 2026

Beautiful local cafe in an old church building. Pretty stained glass windows and wide selection of drinks. Bakery section was small, and service was okay, but they were pretty busy when I was visiting. Cold brew coffee had good taste! ☕️🙂

★★★★★ 5.0 Taryn Fisher · Mar 2026

This is quite possibly the best drink I’ve ever had in my life. Aundie makes the absolute best coffees and teas and I really love the events hosted at Kaybee Community Cafe. Monticello is so lucky to have this business in town!!!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Timothy Fishman · Nov 2025

Very unique spot (100 year old church!) with great coffee, food and service. Stopped in during a drive down to Dallas from Chicago (needed all of the caffeine I could get) and was pleasantly surprised. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Would absolutely stop in again if I'm ever in the area!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jami Trybom · Aug 2025

Super cute Cafe, Incredibly kind staff and amazingly delicious treats. Our favorites include the Chocolate Strawberry Croffles, the avocado toast, the Oreo Croffle, and I highly recommend the Lavender Lemonade or Peach Mango Lemonade❤️❤️❤️

We are so lucky to have a small business owner like Aundie in our community! This coffee shop is an old Catholic Church that was converted into a coffee shop with the original stain glass windows! It’s such a unique experience and great place to work remotely or study. Aundie is a fantastic baker and extremely friendly person. My favorite is her Ube White Chocolate chip cookies, influenced by her Filipino roots. I even was able to put in a custom order of them for our 3 year olds birthday! 🎂💜 I love how she has created a community gathering place with her vision!
