What we pour

Six ways to
get through today

Not everybody who walks in wants an espresso, and we made our peace with that a long time ago. Here is the whole spread.

01 / SIX

Coffee

The reason the doors open. Order it however you like it — nobody behind this counter has ever judged a syrup pump, and nobody ever will.

Smoothies

For the mornings when your body wants fruit and your brain wants a nap. We can’t fix that. We can blend it.

Sparkling Water Spritzers

Fizzy, cold, and just fancy enough to feel like a decision you made on purpose.

A tall glass of pink fizzy soda over ice with a slice of lemon

Italian Soda

Bubbles and syrup. Dessert you’re allowed to have before ten in the morning.

Small gold-rimmed glass cups of amber tea on a tray

Tea

For the people who came in with the coffee crowd and are quietly better rested than all of them.

Matcha

Green, grassy and weirdly effective. No, we will not make it taste like coffee.

Baked fresh every morning

Sweet and savory pastries

Somebody is here long before you are, and this is what they are doing. Sweet on one side of the case, savory on the other, and both of them warm at some point this morning.

What’s in the case is whatever came out of the oven today. It moves. That is sort of the point of a place like this.

We don’t print the pastry list, because it would already be a lie by lunchtime. Come look in the case.

About the name

Yes. Bald Monkey.

People have been asking about it since 2014 and we have never felt any pressure to settle it. Ask at the counter. You will get an answer — we just can’t promise it’s the same one the person ahead of you got.

Our story

Twelve years of
organized chaos

Bald Monkey Beanery was started in 2014 by a husband and wife, and it is still veteran owned and run by the same two people who decided a town like this deserved better coffee than it had.

Twelve years later there is exactly one Bald Monkey, and it is on Red Bank Road in Goose Creek. We have never wanted a second one. We would rather get this one right, remember your order, and keep the jokes on the board coming.

Veteran owned Husband & wife One location. Goose Creek.

Word of mouth

836 people went out of their way to say something

That is a lot of reviews for one coffee shop in one town, and we are as surprised by it as anyone else is. We are not going to pretend it happened by accident, though — twelve years of showing up will do it, and so will remembering how you take it.
