text: I recently brunched here with Yelps own delightful and insightful Angela B We arrived around noon and were seated right away Caffe Mona has a very welcoming duecor with tiny tables light wood tones and a beautiful exposed brick wall The layout itself is very cozy and delicious smells overwhelmed me as our friendly server handed us our menus We both decided to go for the prix fixe brunch selection which included soup salad or a fruit plate to start We both chose the fruit which was a decent selection of sliced apples pears and bananas Nothing super special but perfect for nibbling while waiting for our second course I ordered the fig and apple French toast which was supposed to be served with fig jam Brie cheese and Granny Smith apples I was told by our server that they were all out of fig jam and my heart sunk a little He offered a substitute of apricot jam which I accepted although it did not sound nearly as amazing It was a yummy dish the Brie was melty creamy and gooey the apples even though I had just had some with my fruit plate were a tart and crisp contrast to the sweetness of the apricot jam I ate every bite with content The third course consisted of a crepe with either strawberry or apricot preserves I got strawberry as I had already sampled the apricot The crepe was a little crisper than I would expect a traditional crepe to be Stiff almost The strawberry preserves were nice however and by this point I was full anyway All in all a pleasant meal and would certainly go back to try other menu items nSo why only stars The music was simply awful It was unnecessarily loud it was difficult to hear my dining companion because we were seated underneath a speaker The loudness might not have been such an issue if they had played something that did not make me cringe It was like some created a Dave Matthews Band Pandora station and just kept hitting like Well we did not enjoy the onslaught of Mumford Sons Jack Johnson and DMB that polluted our lovely brunch I would be happy to make Caffe Mona some more appropriate playliststrust me they need the help This is very important for an enjoyable dining experience
