pancakes , which give my grandpa ' s pancakes a run for their money ! One of the many things I love about Cafe Mona is that anyone who works there can give you honest food reviews and recommendations . It ' s not just about what ' s popular or the special of the day . My husband and I had a lengthy conversation about the coffee selections , and our server was able to tell us the ingredients of everything we inquired about . And she was excited to talk about her favorites ! It ' s that kind of personal touch that goes a long way when choosing what local businesses to support .
Miriam has been hard at work creating an exciting new coffee and latte menu . Using ingredients like authentic Mexican chocolate and honey to elegant spices and Horchata , there is truly something for every caffeine connoisseur . She also has a passion for crafting seasonal and holiday coffee options like Snoopy ' s Latte , Olaf ' s Warm Hugs , and Peanut Butter Pecan to name a few . Whenever I have stopped by Cafe Mona , Miriam is always behind the coffee bar mixing and shaking her magical coffee potions .
And speaking of the coffee bar , the espresso machine from their original OKC location over a decade ago is the centerpiece of the bar . The family designed and personally constructed the build-out themselves . Prefer a stronger drink with your brunch ? They ' ve got you covered there too . Cafe Mona recently acquired their liquor license making it easy to add a Mimosa or Bloody Maria to your breakfast skillet . Keeping their alcoholic beverages streamlined with their menu , you ' ll be able to choose from an assortment of expertly curated Margaritas and Mexican beer . I ' ll cheers to that !
As for what will be introduced on the new brunch menu , I can confirm that crepes are coming ! I was thoroughly impressed when Jesus told me he keeps a journal of customer feedback , requests , and ideas . That ' s a total boss move that I respect . The close-knit family loves to experiment with flavors and ingredients in Mona ' s kitchen . They also like to travel together , drawing inspiration from different foods and drinks they ' ve enjoyed from their road trips as a family . They were tight-lipped about what else will appear on the revamped menu , but I have no doubt the choices will be a delight to our taste buds and palate pleasers . And I know for certain each item will be made with love .
" Cooking from the heart and cooking with love is the only way . Less salt , more love !" - Mama Mona

CAFE MONA FRENCH TOAST
Cafe Mona also offers catering options and an event space you can reserve for intimate parties and gatherings . There are many Mexican restaurants to choose from in Stillwater . We ' ve also seen several come and go within recent months . In my opinion , there isn ' t a single one of them that can compare to the combination of food and the atmosphere of Cafe Mona . It is obvious in everything that they do that they do it with a true heart for service to others . Mexican and Spanish culture show their love to family and friends through cooking . And when you walk through the door of Cafe Mona , you are immediately a friend of the family . SwOk
