Manche Pane is an Israeli coffee shop type cafe. This is a solid first/second date type place (even though we don't like to ascribe certain places for certain "number" dates) if you are just looking for coffee and dessert.An alternative to Starbucks type. The only thing I would point out is that it could be filled with young people later at night - just in case that would kill the vibe for you. Not a mature vibe. Try to get a table in the back, there's more privacy there.

CoBea is a very casual coffee shop that offers breakfast related foods. Its technically sit down but looks also like a grab and go type place. This closes early (per Monsey dairy usual) so don't anticipate using this place as a replacement for an evening Starbucks type date. 

This is more like an early morning grab something on the way to work or a pit stop during the day on the way to somewhere else. This is more causal looking than Manche Pani, looks more like pizza shop vibes, maybe slightly nicer or just less greasy. 

Another idea; Pick up some muffins and pastries for your date from here .

​Hava Java has two locations: Town Square and Wesley Hills. The Town Square one is basically inside the Evergreen grocery. The Wesley Hills one is the full coffee shop in the same strip as Wesley Kosher. Its a coffee shop/cafe. No waiter service; you either pay at the counter or their self service ordering and you pick up your food when your buzzer buzzes. They are known for having great sushi. If you are picking up to go - they have a great online ordering service that will bring it out to your car. Its a solid idea if your planning a hike in the Monsey Area.

This is in this section and not in Casual because it closes too early and it's not a meal type place for a date. Unless your going out for lunch in middle of the day. The food here is good, especially the sushi. Consider picking up from here to go somewhere else. Actually, a really good move would be to pick up ice coffee and muffins before you pick up your date. Also, if you are planning on coming here for food, make sure you are heading to the right location. You might want to be going to the full store location in Wesley Hills and not the one in Evergreens.

Acai shop that serves acai bowls, smoothies, juices, etc. As with most chain stores, please make sure you check the kosher certification to make sure it's up to date.

One of the Starbucks in Monsey near the frum areas. Closes at 8:30 so that's on the later side. 

In nicer weather they have outdoor seating. They do have a long table and some arm chairs inside as well as a bunch of 2 person tables. It's not tiny but not massive either. You might be competing for seats. 

Since this is one of the Starbucks near the frum area, you might bump into people.

One of the Starbucks in Monsey near the frum areas. Closes at 9 so that's on the later side and a half hour l ater than the New City Starbucks

It's not tiny but not massive either. You might be competing for seats. They have a row of around 4 2-person tables against the window. 

Since this is one of the Starbucks near the frum area, you might bump into people.

It's also a few door down from Barnes & Nobles if you want to go and buy a game to bring with you to Starbucks.
