Kidd Coffee Monroe

Peggy Lacy at Kidd Coffee MonroeI have had several chances to try Kidd Coffee in the three plus weeks they have been open and I think they are doing a fine job. My first visit was lunch time, so I had an Almond Joy Frappachiller, Buffalo Chicken Wrap, Chips and a Cookie. The Frappachiller and the Buffalo Chicken Wrap were both top notch.

The girls behind the counter, Peggy Lacy and Laurie Triick were fantastic, they helped me decide on what to have for the first time. They are very excited about being open and very happy with the support they are getting from the Monroe Community.

I met an off Duty Monroe Fire Fighter and his wife, Aaron and Cathy Vance. They have been in a bunch of times. Aaron’s favorite is the Carmel Macchiato and Cathy’s is the Milky Way Frappachiller.

Kidd Coffee carries 5 different brews everyday. They always have a Dark Roast, Medium Roast, Decaf Roast, and Highlander Grog (House Specialty). The 5th brew is rotated between different flavored bean roasts. The flavored bean roast was Crème Brulee the first time I stopped in.

They also sell their beans, and they can even grind them up for you. They plan on having wireless internet access as soon as it is available in the plaza. They are currently working with Time Warner Cable and the Plaza developers. They will offer wireless internet access as soon as it is available to them.

Laurie Triick at Kidd Coffee MonroeMonroe Kidd Coffee is owned and operated by Steve and April Craft. I did not meet them on my first visit, but I have met them often since. They are excited to be open and are looking forward to serving the Monroe Community coffee for years to come.

My favorite so far is the Highlander Grog, Peggy Lacy said she liked them all and Laurie Triick’s favorite is the Peach Fruit Smoothie which she said was “Out of this World!”
