Grey & Cash

I rush to get here in time before the breakfast sandwiches sell out, they’re so delicious! Everything we’ve tried here is, the portions are big and you can taste the quality. There’s vegan & vegetarian options as well, non-coffee drinks, and an array of sweets to choose from. There’s indoor & outdoor seating (outdoor is dog friendly)

Wanted some coffee before a hike nearby and this place popped up - had to try it .. it’s a cool spot . Open and great vibe . Lots of people hanging out and enjoying themselves.. we got two coffees and an order of chilaquiles .. the food was great ! The coffee was too - beware it’s on the sweeter side - we ordered a honeycomb and James brown .. excellent spot though !

Really tasty breakfast sandwiches and their baked goods are also great. Their latte was well poured but I thought the beans were just alright. 10/10 food. 8/10 coffee.

We love this place and when in the area we try and stop by. Chilaquilas Rojo. They were out of verde but the red is good too if you like a kick! 🌶🌶

The place is bustling with lovely people. It’s nice to be able to bring your dog inside (as long as it’s well trained of course) I ordered the bacon and egg and cheese and the heart burn afterward was worth it. Delicious. Also tried the Matchata (matcha + horchata) pretty great as well! They have vegan options too. It is a little on the pricey side, if you come here for a date expect to spend about $50

Best espresso bar in the area. This is our go-to place for speciality coffee. They consistently crank out the same quality, the staff is nice and friendly. They service decent food if you want food with your coffee. It can get busy, but that speaks to the service they provide. My favorite thing is that they allow dogs!

Grey & Cash cafe shop in Monrovia is a delightful addition to the growing cafe scene in this charming town. Located along Myrtle, it's part of the thriving food culture that has taken hold in old town Monrovia. Grey & Cash stands out with its offerings of gourmet coffee and breakfast. The coffee selection at Grey & Cash is truly impressive, featuring a range of creative and enticing options with names like "Cold Brew Jame Brown," "Mayan Mocha," and "Honeycomb." Each sip is a flavor journey in itself, making it a perfect spot for coffee enthusiasts looking for something unique and satisfying. Beyond the coffee, the breakfast and lunch menus offer a variety of mouthwatering dishes. I personally indulged in their avocado toast, and I must say it was a heavenly experience. The perfect blend of creamy avocado, crunchy toast, and a sprinkle of spices made it a memorable culinary moment. What sets Grey & Cash apart, besides its culinary offerings, is the inviting atmosphere. The vibe here is cozy and warm, making it an excellent place to gather with friends or simply unwind by yourself. The service is top-notch, with a staff that goes out of their way to ensure a delightful experience for each customer. In conclusion, Grey &Cash cafe shop in Monrovia is more than just a place for gourmet coffee and delectable dishes. It's a haven for relaxation and good company. If you're in Monrovia and looking for a spot to enjoy a chat with friends while savoring a cup of coffee, Grey & Cash is a must-visit destination.

Solid choice for all. Thirsty? Hungry? They got it covered. I especially like their Nitro James Brown cold brew on tap. It's a huge plus that they have quality vegan options. They close early around 2pm so be warned. Staff is always great and the atmosphere is relaxed. There is a good amount of seating that is fairly spaced out so you don't feel cramped. Highly recommend.

Tried Grey and Cash in Monrovia today and really enjoyed it! I got the pistachio latte with hints of orange, which was such a fun and unexpected flavor combo. I love any place that uses actual orange peel for flavor in coffee ..total game changer. Next time, I'd probably add an extra shot and maybe a little more ice, but overall it was smooth and balanced. The service was super friendly, and the café itself has a great setup ; plenty of seating and a cozy vibe. I actually loved the dimmer lighting, which made it feel warm and inviting (no harsh overhead lights, thank you!). Definitely a spot I'd come back to for another coffee break or to hang out with friends.

Brunch + Vibes = happy What we ordered. Jive turkey - toasted sourdough turkey, avocado, tomatoes and some yummy sauce. DELICIOUS Jalapeño cheese gluten free bagel- True as advertised. My daughter cannot eat gluten and if this bagel was not gluten free, she would have been sick all day! She said yummy bagel! Rancheros bowl with scrambled eggs, black beans potatoes, avocado, salsa- I liked this bowl I would enjoy it with more potatoes thou. Dirty oatchatta latte - bad girl but she good! James Brown - needs more espresso but it had some flavor. The seasonal banana drinks were sold out by noon! I must come back. Overall, good place. SUPER FRIENDLY STAFF! Whoever was DJ, I loved the music selection! Faye Webster! Nice!

I love trying matcha spots in different areas, so I decided to stop by since this café is close to where I live. The vibe and ambience are really nice modern, clean, and with both indoor and outdoor seating. The girl who helped me choose was very sweet and friendly, which I appreciated. I originally came in hoping to try the strawberry matcha, but it's seasonal and only available in the summer. So I went with the iced pumpkin matcha latte instead. Unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite. I don't think I'd return specifically for the matcha, but they do have other items on the menu that I haven't tried yet, so it might still be worth exploring for others. Overall, a cute spot with great service just not my personal matcha preference this time around.

Background On Visit: After finishing brunch at Peach Cafe, we decided to walk to Grey & Cash to get some drinks. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Restroom: Restroom is available. One unisex restroom. Wait Time: Went on Sunday and there was a lot of people inside and outside of the shop. Wait time on the weekend can be long, so try to patient. Coffee Program: Sightglass Coffee roasts their coffee beans for them. Location/Parking: Believe it or not, but this place use to be Parchment Coffee, and before that, it was Friends Cafe. Parking can be found Ambiance/Decor: Pretty cool ambiance with modern furnishings. Service: Service was decent. The barista that helped me was friendly, attentive, and was informational about the shop. Drink Of Choice: Just got the drip coffee ($3.25). It was quite decent. Grey & Cash For Thought: Wouldn't mind coming back to get their drip coffee and try their James Brown drink.

This is a yummy spot for a quick meal in downtown Monrovia. It's a bustling spot on the weekends but the line moves quickly and the staff has always been friendly and welcoming. So far I've tried the Monroe breakfast sandwich and their breakfast burrito. Both were really tasty and quite filling, and their lunch sandwiches look great as well. I like that they have an expansive beverage menu that includes a variety of specialty drinks like the strawberry matcha and golden chai.

Very lively cafe! Ordered the James Brown which is an espresso with milk, cinnamon, & brown sugar; flavor profile was there and I adjusted to 50% sweetness and it was great. Lines can be long but moved quickly and I was out in/out under 15 minutes for 3 drinks.

My go-to local café in Monrovia. Everything here is delicious -- from the food to the espresso drinks to the matcha, hot or iced. The staff is super friendly, and the service is always great. It's definitely a local favorite; you can tell by how many people know each other. What really stands out are the syrups -- they taste homemade and make every drink pop. You honestly can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

The seasonal drinks, food and ambiance never disappoints. I love their regular drinks but their seasonal always hit. From Latte de olla to a strawberry matcha latte is amazing. They have coconut milk as a dairy alternative which is great. Their food is delicious. My favorite dishes are their avocado toasts, ranchero bowl and their sandwiches. On Fridays they sometimes play some Spanish music and always play the bangers which just adds to their vibe. Definitely a place to stop by.

I love this place!!! I come here every weekend and it never disappoints. I'm a big fan of their matcha latte and their burritos

This place is always, always packed, and for the longest time, I wondered what the hype was all about. I mean, they're busy even on weekdays.. like, what do these people do for a living that lets them chill at a coffee shop midweek lol. Well, I finally gave it a shot, and now I totally get it. Everything we had was SO good! My friend ordered some kind of coffee (which I completely forgot), but I got the Golden Chai, and it was absolutely bomb! Also, the Lox? Perfection. Everything was just spot-on. Now I see why this place stays packed. Definitely worth the hype!

My stylist recommended this place to me (she works at Agence Salon around the corner) and I will now have some place to regularly go for food during my appointments. It has that cool coffee shop vibe to it, you can definitely tell who the regulars were. I ordered an egg, bacon, cheese sandwich and to my luck, they had one more fresh OJ. I'm a sucker for fresh squeezed. I enjoyed the first few sips of my juice and waited a few minutes for my food. I love that I could see it being made in front of me. It was delicious and I can't wait to go back and have more. I'm hoping next time I can stay longer. But thanks to my stylist, now I know about this place. Next time I'll try one of their coffees too.

[ Drink ] I ordered the Brown Sugar Matcha since I wanted to try matcha with cinnamon and it was good, I wished the matcha taste was stronger. [ Service ] Customer service was good. [ Parking ] There's parking in front of the shop, as well as street parking. If all else fails, there's a free public parking lot near the movie theater.

I've been here plenty of times and it's always worth it. It's a reliable coffee shop with consistent quality. The menu is quite expensive. I've tried a good number of drinks and none have disappointed thus far. Drinks can have the option of hot/cold and choice of alternate milk. The coffee are drinkable hot, much appreciated. In addition, the drinks aren't overly sweet. They also offer baked goods which are tasty. There's a breakfast menu but I haven't tried it yet. Depending on the time the line can be long inside but it moves quick enough. The staff are great and friendly! There's loads of seating while surrounded by fun wall art. They also have a giant skeleton during Halloween time! The atmosphere has always been a chill cafe shop that doesn't get too loud. Overall, a great place to hangout or grab a coffee on the go!

Perfect--here's a witty, honest review for Grey & Cash that shares your taste without sounding harsh: "Before you come for me... I grew up on Kona coffee, okay?" Grey & Cash is cute, the vibe is right, and the staff is lovely--but the coffee? It's just not for me. The flavor is strong, bold, and a little aggressive--kind of like a first date that talks too much about crypto. If you love Starbucks-style coffee, you'll probably vibe with it. But I was raised on smooth, farm-fresh Kona brews that whisper gently, not shout. So take this with a grain of Hawaiian sea salt. Still worth a visit for the ambiance--just maybe not my daily go-to. Love the cute street it's on and SO HAPPY for GF bagels. I will drive an extra 30 min for this before work bc GF bagel Sandi's are so hard to find.

After a great Breakfast at Jake's I wanted a coffee I got the Nitro James Brown it was so yummy and super Smooth and best part fast because they just pour it pre mixed straight out the spout. Side note Holloween Décor is on point they had hand drawn originals that can be purchased.

I am so lucky that I am barely finding out about this place after having been at city of hope for treatment all of last year. Had I found it earlier, I'd be broke. Breakfast sandwiches are delish and their coffee.... The James Brown latte ( not pictured). Oh man, I plan on getting it every time I head over in that direction.

Delicious as always! I tried their seasonal latte de Olla this time, and I hope they keep it around for a while. I'd love to have it again! It definitely had a Christmas-y taste with the cinnamon and sweetness. Staff are friendly, fast, and very good at explaining the menu items or making suggestions if you're not too sure what to get. You can also order online if you don't want to wait in the store, but the cellular data is not great in this area so you may have issues placing the order.

The Ranchero Bowl was amazing!! Full of flavor... I highly recommend. We also had the James Brown espresso drinks which were amazing as well! We will definitely be coming back often!

(+) Breakfast burrito (+) Lavender Latte (+) James Brown Grey and Cash is a casual, cozy restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and vegan and vegetarian items. Drip coffee, lattes and teas are also served hot or cold. It is a fun place to be on the weekends as the line to order can reach wait times of 15-25 minutes. Plenty of variety allow Grey and Cash to excite everyone in the group. Food/Drinks: The breakfast burritos are one of my favorites in the area. The quality is seamless, and the taste come together so perfectly. You'll have to try one to understand what I am talking about. It is filling enough where I am not in total food coma. I have ordered a few lattes in my visits here, but my favorite is the James brown. It reminds me of a vanilla latte but with cinnamon. The lavender lattte was also a good option if youre into lavender. Service/Ambiance: There are plenty of tables to sit down, but many are occupied during peak hours. Dogs are welcomed inside. I have not dined in, but it does get very noisy and the line to the register runs straight through the middle of the restaurant. Very casual breakfast place. Overall, I would recommend Grey and cash for breakfast and coffee. I have not tried their lunch items yet, but one day when I wake up late. It's inevitable.

Super busy inside with friendly staff. I attempted to order the Nitro James and they were out so I got the James Brown with Cold Brew. I also attempted to order the Blood Orange Tonic and they were out of that as well so I ordered an espresso tonic. Disappointed that they were already out of two seasonal items. The wait was long in line as well, and it seems like they are fully staffed. The cold brew James Brown was tasty! Not overly sweet. The Espresso Tonic is okay, not anything to write home about.

Lovely staff, so friendly and amazing! Best coffee shop in Monrovia area. I get the iced James brown half or 1/4 sweet, so yummy, love the cinnamon! Their iced mocha is also decent. I also order the turkey pesto sandwich a lot. I love the pesto aioli they use, so yummy!!!!! Plentiful seating and free wifi. Nice space. Was able to get a lot of work done there!

Their breakfast sandwiches are so good! I usually order the standard bacon, egg and cheese on brioche. So good! Staff is really nice and the place is spacious. There are different seating options; table and chairs, a bench, or sofa chairs. I also like to pair my breakfast with a cup of lavender tea.

This is such a solid coffee spot! My wife loves coming here and getting the James Brown. I mix it up and always try their specialty drinks which never disappoint. The food is good quality and always made fresh. Parking can be a little tricky but definitely one our go to coffee spots

First time here and what a pleasant surprise! The coffee recommended was really good (and kept me awake the whole day hahah). Get the "James Brown" (Espresso, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, milk). That's the winner!

One of the most lively coffee spots in Downtown Monrovia. That block itself is riddled with numerous appealing establishments, but Grey & Cash surely has created a foundation for itself within the community. Came here on a Sunday afternoon and the line was stretched from the door all the way to the order counter, but it moved very quickly. The open floor plan offers an ample amount of indoor seating and we were able to find seating pretty easily. It was quite crowded, but I feel like the chatter-filled hall cultivated an atmosphere that felt energetic and vibrant. They offer a broad selection of breakfast and lunch items which looks extremely appetizing. There's also some baked goods like muffins and cookies that would be a great sweet pairing with their coffee. (I was very tempted, but I was feeling something more savory today). Their jalapeno cheddar bagel was warm and fluffy with a satisfying chew, offering a delightful texture. While I would have preferred a bit more crispness on the outside, it was still a very pleasant and appetizing experience overall. Great rec from the gentleman who took my order. The iced James Brown was aromatic and flavorful, I enjoyed the hints of cinnamon with the vanilla and there was an adequate amount of oat milk to balance out the espresso. My boyfriend got the cortado, and I believe it would've been a homerun had there been a tad less milk. Other than that, expect us to be back for lunch!

One of my favorite coffee places in monrovia! The coffee is excellent as well as the food. My favorite drink is the James Brown. The chilaquiles and breakfast sandwiches are to die for. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Seating is a hit or miss but most of the time you just have to wait 5 minutes and something will open up.

Absolutely charming place, first thing I see is a giant California flag on the wall, I counted 22 people sitting inside. A definite local community hang. A great coffee and food menu, dog friendly, very upbeat staff and perfect background music. Whenever I'm in Monrovia, I'll be sure to stop here !

Hands down the best coffee shop in the area. The drinks are fantastic and the food is arguably even better. Highly recommend their turkey sandwich, the chilequiles, and the avocado toast. For drinks, nitro James brown, golden chai and just about anything on the menu.

If you like to wait for very basic $22 sandwich for 30 mins i think you found a spot. Also if you like to tell them that you don't want the bread comes with and you want to switch it and end up making it the same and when you say that you didn't want it that manager respond be like, we can make it but it will take additional time if you want to wait, the great costumer service is waiting for you. They asked if i wanted salad or chips, i wanted salad but i didn't know moldy expired greens is what they meant by that. as a professional cook and someone in hospitality business over 10 years this is absolutely no go. Wish i could take my time and my money back.

This place comes recommended by friends. I be tried their coffee before but not the food. Lots of vegan options on the menu. I specifically wanted to try the vegan carnitas but it seems it's hard to keep on hand. Ambiance is that if a coffee house but with a lively vibe and chill locals from the San Gabriel valley. If you're familiar with Myrtle Ave and this strip, you'll know you can't go wrong with any business on this street. Add it to your check list. The. Come and cross it off like I've had. Thank you to Raul and his friendly demeanor for today's Xmas eve breakfast.

Vibe seemed cool and everyone behind the counter was nice, but just keep an eye out for the cleanliness practices. I watched one of the workers drop a bag on the ground, pick it up, crumpled it so her hands definitely touched the part that was on the ground and then put it in the napkins. Pretty gross. If she handled my food after that I would have not eaten what they gave me, but she was just getting me a bag. But I worry about anyone getting those napkins after that.

Absolutely loved the ambience, vibes and friendliness of the workers. You can see they all put their hard work into making excellent tasting coffee and food which in my case I ordered a turkey pesto sandwich and pistachio latte. I will definitely be returning!

A little hidden gem. One of my favorite go places to have some coffee and breakfast. Their coffees are great. They have a standard menu and sometimes have specialty drinks for the season. There's plenty of seating outdoors and indoor. Their service is always friendly. Order some chilaquiles! I love their chilaquiles. Definitely a must try place and stroll around old town Monrovia or their park nearby.

Stopped by for some coffee. Street parking is available. There was a line when I came in early in the morning. I guess they are popular. I ordered, a James Brown and a Mayan coffee as recommended by the cashier. I am not a fan of cold brew coffee, so James brown is not my cup of tea. However, I like the Mayan coffee. It has some chocolate flavor to it, and if reminds me of cafe mocha. It was not overly sweet too. There was table and chair for people to sit and work. I can probably bring my laptop here and work while sipping their coffee. Will come back again.

We make it a point to stop here for coffee when ever we are in the area. This place is always packed so be prepared to wait a bit. They have a great selection of coffee , the honeycomb coffee is my favorite. We ordered the breakfast burrito.

Chiaquiles rojo was pretty good. The chips were crispy and juicy. The egg was perfectly runny the way it was ordered. Sauce was good and overall very good. When the avocado toast was served I said, one slice?! Really?! But when we started eating, it was actually quite filling and was just enough to satisfy the hunger. If you're super hungry, I don't recommend this, but it will be enough otherwise. The toppings were a little bit on the salty side, but it was good.

0/10- horrible matcha. Not worth $9. Got the strawberry matcha with an extra shot of matcha, no matcha taste and the strawberry milk was sour and thick. Had my friend try too and she also did not like it and thought it had no matcha flavor and tasted off.

4.5. Only because I think $9 is a little bit too much for a nitro cold brew, even with all the fancy bells and whistles on it. Despite the price, their seasonal nitro cold brew was a tasty delight of cinnamon and brown sugar mixed in with oat mil against the earthy coffee .. though I'm not really remembering the coffee flavors that much since every sweet component washed out all the subtle flavors of the cold brew. Other than that, it's one of the few sweet coffee drinks that I think I'd order again.

Best coffee in all of Monrovia! Staff is awesome and friendly! Love the James Brown! Love the club sandwich! The decor is great with that big CA flag !

Their coffee is very good! Love the staff there. Their food is also really good n my favorite is the Monroe. The ambiance of this coffee shop is perfect to do some work there!

Initially we wanted to try the brunch place right next door, but their wait was ridiculously long lol. So then we ended up trying here! There was quite a good amount of people eating, having coffee, and studying here. As a study spot, I didn't really like how dark it was? Most likely because of the interior and decor feels very dark, but for a coffee shop, I do enjoy places that are more bright. Although, it depends on everyone's liking. We mainly wanted to get food here, which oddly the line to order took a really long while. After finally ordering, you can seat yourself anywhere you like and they will find you to deliver your food & drinks to you with a table number. I got the Lox Croissant with salad and my bf got the breakfast burrito. I really enjoy smoked salmon sandwiches so I was excited to try this one since it was also highly rated! Trying out the Lox Croissant, I enjoyed this one a lot and it was veryyy filling. I wish the croissant itself wasn't too soft and had a more crispy texture. The salmon was pretty good and I didn't know it already came with a lot of salad since I already got salad as my side too haha. The dressing that came with the side was pretty nice as well. I enjoyed the sauce they used with the sandwich too! My bf said the breakfast burrito was pretty bland. The potatoes and beans could have been more flavorful, which he didn't really seem to enjoy his meal as much as I did. He also ordered an Americano, which he said was pretty standard. Overall, I would say I enjoyed my Lox croissant, but the rest of the experience was okay. This is a bit more nitpicky, but I also wished they had a sheet that would separate the pan they use to serve meals and the actual food. It would feel cleaner that way rather than just presenting it on a tray.

I can only speak to their coffee and a breakfast sandwich that I had that was delicious. Their coffee is made with care and has the strength that I require in a coffee shop. Relaxing at atmosphere and I've even taken a zoom business meeting there while consuming a sandwich. I'm not local to this spot, but I've probably had it over a dozen times.

Ive visited this spot over 15 times and can honestly say I never know what kind of experience I'm gonna have. The first times I've gone were definitely 5 stars and then the experience just worsened. I've ordered great coffee and then ordered it again and it was bad. My coworker got a decaf and it was the worst possible coffee I've ever tasted, it was separated and watered down. They've served good decaf in the past. I've had a great barista share smiles and friendliness and other times it's been bland and very bitter. I can't recommend anymore because people I've told to go end up having a bad experience. It's close by, so I'll begrudgingly visit again but never going to be excited to visit as I used to be with the first few visit when they actually showed the positive energy of a great coffee shop.

First time at Grey & Cash! Drink: -Ordered their James Brown. It's on tap so you cannot get substitutes or change it. It's quite nice though, very balanced and sweet but not overly. So it's a solid choice! I think it's with oat milk too. Service: -My drink was actually forgotten about, though they came by a couple times to ask so I eventually just went up and he made it. Ambiance: -A lot of people hanging out or working on stuff here, very cafe vibes Overall: -Would come by to try other drinks and maybe some of the food, but I don't think I'd get the james brown again unless I was craving it. Want to find what my go-to would be here

This place gets packed on the weekends (especially with those gang of cyclists) so you can always order online for picking. Cute, casual atmosphere. Believe it or not the sandwiches from here are solid!! Hubby loves the godfather sandwich and I love the tuna. Appreciated the seasonal drinks too.

Finally came back and I think they deserve all 5 stars. I came on a Friday afternoon with a friend and we both loved EVERYTHING we got. I got the honeycomb latte and asked for lavender in it as well and OH MY GOODNESS. That first sip was delicious. I really think my breakfast a sandwich was better this time too the bread was so soft. Not much of a wait this time, and luckily the weather was kind enough to use their outside seating. $40 for two people, 4 items but very worth it.

Our go-to place in downtown Monrovia. Their food is top notch and paired with well made speciality coffee drinks. My favorite is "The Clubber" on rosemary bread. The quality of ingredients are the best you can get on a sandwich. My wife is a huge fan of the secret menu item "Chilequiles Breakfast Burrito with verde sauce". It's game changing. Their house made salsa is the perfect addition to the burrito. I change up my drink order every time I'm there as all of the ones I've had had been exceptional. Service is quick and they are super friendly! It's a gem of a coffee shop. Perfect for a weekend day date or catch up.

Mornings are always better with coffee Grey & Cash in Old Town Monrovia was a delight to visit. The small town charm on Monrovia is really on spotlight here as they are welcoming & friendly members of the community. I ordered the James Brown & was impressed by the quality of the coffee, the bold & smooth body enhanced the sweet notes. The banana nut bread was fresh & tasty! They also have a full service brunch menu that looked appetizing. Overall I was extremely satisfied with the experience & look forward to making this my new coffee spot.

Bruh this place always closed everytime. i try to go here, It says that they close at 2pm, i come here at 12.40pm and they already close :/ this happened not only one time, multiple times. We do love the coffee and food but it just ... update your time on yelp or google ig idk.
