Mona's Cafe

The first Mona's helped energize the Confluence Park area. The second Mona's was one of the leaders in the redevelopment of SoBo. Now Mona's has opened a third spot, in Uptown, which offers many of the dishes you find at its siblings. The difference, though, is that this Mona's Cafe is designed to cater to lunchers on the go, rather than the diners who take over tables at the other spots and linger for hours. While dine-in is available, there's no table service: just a takeout counter for those who want to grab-and-go, and casual seating for those who want to stick around. And if they do, they might want to stay until after work, when this Mona's features a happy hour filled with snacks and drink specials.
