I love cafes, and how lovely that many more names are springing up around for me to try... currently Jimmy Monkey Cafe & Bar is one of my favourites, particularly because of the excellent service there. I love how bubbly, cheerful, constantly excited and optimistic the people there are! I was here with my close group of friends for a birthday gathering, and the staff cooperated with us seamlessly for it. Great job! The decor at this place also reminds me a little of Toby's Estate with its high
The decor at this place also reminds me a little of Toby's Estate with its high ceilings and half-finished decoration sort of appearance, with the brick walls and stuff.
Despite their flawless service, I must say that their mains is quite disappointing. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Sandwich ($16+) and it was quite dry and hard to eat, thus difficult to enjoy ...not very worth the price in my honest opinion.
My friends ordered the Spaghetti w/ Sauteed Mushrooms (18+) which I think would be a better choice, nonethless not justified by the prices. The portion seemed small but my friend couldn't finish one on her own though. I pinched a mouthful - it was yummy but potentially jelat.
Water is free-flow in the form of green beer bottles, self-service.
Molten Chocolate Lava Cake with Vanilla Ice-Cream ($12+) is practically heaven on earth! All my friends and I adore it to bits and we were mourning for it when we finished it within seconds - no exaggeration!!! Highly recommended and probably the highlight of the menu.
No trip to Jimmy Monkey could be complete without coffee, as we ordered a Latte for $5. Every sip was very very good and I don't regret it at all... also highly recommended. In a nutshell - just order the lava cake and coffees and skip their mains, it is still a pretty good cafe to hang out if you know what to order ;)
