Java Monkey is hands down one of the best coffee shop in Decatur. Their motto is" Javamonkey - the Decatur Caffeinator since 1993". Java Monkey is located on East Ponce De Leon Avenue - right off the city square of Decatur, Georgia. Java Monkey's proximity to the Decatur Marta station makes it a great place to check out if your wanting to have low carbon adventure day.
The way that Java Monkey is arranged flows well. You come into a narrow area that loops left around to the order area and then you see the bar and robust patio after another left turn. It is a perfect blend of patio and indoor environment. The only low point is that it can get filled with loud and unhappy children at times but you can escape to the bar area or the patio (which Java Monkey is working on enclosing). Java Monkey is less than a 10 blocks from Agnes Scott University so the single scene is not as sparse as some of the other coffee shops in Decatur.
