Customer Reviews

I have lived in Monticello for 3 years now and was disappointed that there wasn't a good coffee place nearby. Well, now I can say there is! My daughter and I tried out The Daily Roast today and it exceeded my expectations. The coffee was excellent and the Maple Bacon Donuts were tasty. I loved the decor and how friendly the servers were, perfect for our little town!

This place is a great addition to the small community of Monticello. I highly recommend for coffee and donuts. I had a delicious iced coffee, and my son had a latte, which he said "mom, this is better than Starbucks". We chose a variety of donuts to take home, and they were delicious. Stop by and check them out, they provide excellent service as well. Locally owned. (One of our donuts in the picture below).

?? tasty coffee ?? amazing donuts ?? great prices This place is a gem! Coffee is rich and flavorful, brewed to order. Donuts are fluffy, light and fresh (a million times better than Dunkin).....always new flavors and varieties to try. And the owners are fantastic, caring people....you seriously need to stop reading reviews and go try this place for yourself!

This is exactly what small town Monticello needed! I must admit, I found this town checking out the Sac-O-Suds and courthouse from the 'My Cousin Vinny' movie. Once I found out it was filmed here in Georgia. I've come back about three times now. On my last visit this place was open. Ice cream, donuts and coffee, right off the square. All were delicious and the owners are super nice. I hope to visit again when I'm there next.

As a local resident I love this place ?? my husband and I usually go on a family stroll around the square and always stop at the Daily Roast for our favorite drinks. The Perfect Latte and a delicious danish! My husband also likes the strawberry Redbull drink too. Our plan is to slowly try the entire menu but our favorites have us in a choke hole ??????.

Such a great addition to our small town! The homemade cinnamon rolls are out of this world and the perfect latte is delicious too! But my favorite is the Carmel Apple Red Bull.

We got two 16oz drinks & a donut for $10.92. Very fair pricing & wonderful staff. The donuts are amazing!

Small town, big flavor. The Daily Roast is a wonderful addition to Monticello and will not disappoint when you have a hankering for Coffee and Donuts. They have delicious flavors, and the options are broad. The service is also top notch with everyone treating you like you've been a long time customer. If you haven't tried this place yet you should, cause it's fantastic!

Highly recommend this place. I got a variety of doughnuts and pastries and a latte. Everything I tried was delicious and the latte was amazing. I am super picky when it comes to coffee and 99% of the time I have to fix up my drink after ordering it from other places. This drink was spot on and I love that they offer non dairy alternatives. Customer service was also excellent. If you haven?t tried them, you are missing out!

We love the Daily Roast. We have a hard time choosing the donuts or the ice cream. Of course the coffee is excellent. We go 2 or 3 times a week!

Coffee wasn't even my order, was way too hot to be serving to people, and was just nasty in general. It tasted sour even after stirring it. The atmosphere was awesome and the people I was with loved theirs. But something must have gone wrong with my cup ??

Fresh and delicious donuts, wayyyy better than Krispy Kreme or any chain. They have GLUTEN FREE which makes me super excited, I will definitely be back for these. I?ll be sure to spread the word to the celiac/ gluten intolerant people in the area. There?s more than you might think, just gotta get the word out there! A good latte, too! It went so well with my chocolate donuts. ???? ~Especially for being in a small town?? Love love love our small town but lattes are simply just not done right or good enoug

Found our new favorite spot! Stumbled across this cute place on the way out of town. The lattes and cinnamon rolls were so yummy! Will definitely return.

I love the options available at the daily roast!! And they even offer GF donuts on Saturdays which it can be a challenge to find GF baked goods. Their ice cream is very good too!

Absolutely love their peach cobbler with ice cream and there iced coffees, donuts are delicious to with a great selection to choose from! Great and friendly staff!

Love having a place to get good coffee. The service is always great. Coffee is always great. Love the sticky bun!

Not only do we love the Family but we love the coffee and the doughnuts. This is the best coffee shop I?ve ever been to.

The coffee, the donuts, the service is all top notch. Definitely a must if you are in Monticello!

An amazing mom and Pop Jem definitely worth stopping by and checking out in downtown Monticello or even if you?re traveling and it happens to be a little bit out of the way this place will be worth it

So happy to see Monticello gain such an amazing coffee shop! The staff was friendly and welcoming! We can't wait to go back!!! (We have reasons to return, we haven't even tried the donuts yet!!)
