Coffee Monkey
Café on Pușkin, with a praised bean selection and a wide terrace
Specialty coffee from a praised bean selection, with pistachio banana bread or matcha cheesecake
Worth it for the coffee and the display. If you were planning to work here, ask first: one review says laptops are not allowed and that the rule was not stated at the counter.
Café on Pușkin street, open daily from 8:00 to 22:00, with a wide terrace and dog access. Reviews praise the bean selection: a guest who had been looking for specialty coffee in Spain, Italy and Istanbul says the options here were not even close to what they found there. The pistachio banana bread, the mango latte and the matcha cheesecake are named explicitly, and the display of croissants and cakes is noted by several guests. The atmosphere is described as pleasant and the staff as friendly. One important thing to know first, from a one-star review: the guest says they were told, after ordering, that laptop use is not allowed, and asks that the rule be stated up front. The same guest considers the coffee poor for the price.

“Really enjoyed my visit to Monkey Café in Chișinău. Lovely atmosphere, good coffee, and friendly service. A nice spot to relax and unwind. Would happily come back again.”
“Perfetto🤌🍀 Come in to warm up, charge your phone and drink tea, although the coffee here is much better, and the desserts are gorgeous. A very high-quality establishment with pleasant staff. A wonderful approach to business.”
“I had a banana bread with pistachio and a mango latte, and both were really good. Everything looked amazing, from the croissants to the cakes in the display. If I visit Chisinau again, I’ll definitely come back for a coffee and something sweet.”
