Customer Review Summary
Sandwiches and baguettes are what reviewers return to Hungry Monkey for, with the chicken versions named most often: a coronation chicken baguette, a roast chicken and salad sandwich with a huge, fresh salad, and chicken, bacon and mayo baguettes that one diner says taste as good as Subway at less than half the price. Close behind, breakfast sandwiches such as bacon and sausage and sausage and egg are called a good start to the day. Reviewers also mention good coffee, plenty of outside seating, and a wide choice of hot and cold food. Value and consistency come up repeatedly, and the staff are described as friendly and positive. One regular says they have come nearly every day for five years, and another calls it convenient coming out of the station. The one criticism is from a reviewer who notes that card payments are not accepted. One non-English-speaking customer describes staff who made them lunch and sometimes gave them food on days they had nothing to eat.

“Kind people who knew I was an immigrant, I didn't speak English but even so they were always very attentive, they made me lunch and often even gave me food, especially on days when I had nothing to eat. I thank God for such good people existing.”
