Overview & Highlights

Nestled in the heart of Monroeville at 36 E Claiborne St, Cole's Ice Cream & Coffee is a delightful local gem that masterfully blends the best of both worlds—top-notch coffee and indulgent ice cream treats. This charming parlour welcomes you with the invigorating aroma of freshly brewed coffee the moment you step inside, creating an inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements the town’s nostalgic charm.

Cole's impresses with a diverse and mouthwatering menu that caters to both coffee aficionados and casual visitors alike. Their specialty coffee drinks are a true highlight—imagine savoring a Hazelnut Latte so rich and smooth it melts your stress away, or cooling down with an almond joy iced coffee crowned with luscious cold foam. For those craving something just a bit more playful, the Strawberry Cheesecake coffee with whipped cream offers a delightful twist, marrying dessert and caffeine in one perfect cup. The cold brew, praised by long-time fans, is refreshingly bold, while an array of sugar-free flavor options ensures there’s something for every palate.

If you’re less focused on caffeine but still in the mood for comfort food, Cole’s offers a satisfying selection of sandwiches and wraps. Their Cracked Pepper Chicken Salad and Grapevine Chicken Salad sandwiches balance savory, fresh flavors on hearty breads like pumpernickel or buttery croissants, with the club sandwich on croissant receiving particular praise from regulars. The wrap menu, featuring Buffalo Chicken and Spinach Herb & Turkey, adds an extra layer of variety for lighter bites. Every sandwich is crafted thoughtfully, making each bite taste like home.

Let’s not forget the star of the show—the ice cream. Serving Hershey’s ice cream, an elegant choice that surpasses the expectations set by the candy bars alone, Cole’s offers creamy scoops bursting with nostalgic flavors. The Blueberry Cheesecake ice cream stands out as a fruity, creamy indulgence perfect for cooling off on a hot day or topping off your coffee experience with a sweet finish. Plus, their signature milkshakes are a joyous treat, ideal for lingering with friends or meeting new faces in a cozy, low-key environment.

But beyond the food and drinks, Cole’s Ice Cream & Coffee is much more than a shop—it’s a community hub. Customers consistently highlight the warm, attentive service and the inviting vibe, making it a place where you can unwind for hours. Whether it’s stopping by after a stroll around the iconic Monroeville Courthouse—famous from "To Kill A Mockingbird"—or seeking refuge from the Alabama summer heat, visitors feel welcomed and valued. It’s a spot where friendly conversations bloom naturally over a shared love of coffee and good eats.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Cole’s Ice Cream & Coffee promises an authentic taste of Monroeville hospitality, enveloped in rich coffee aromas, creamy ice cream delights, and genuine human connection. It’s truly a place to savor, relax, and return to again and again.

Needed a good strong coffee so went in with my wife, daughter, and daughter from another mother.... I got coffee they loved their t shirts, pillows etc... one coffee several other items too. Nice place.

A beautiful little stop right off the town square, near the Courthouse of To Kill A Mockingbird. Immediate smell of fresh coffee upon entry. A wonderful way to spend time cooling off in the summer heat. We enjoyed a pair of iced coffees: one an Almond Joy with cold foam, the other a Strawberry Cheesecake coffee with whipped cream.

My favorite Coffee by far. Love their cold brew. They also have lots of sugar free flavors to choose from

I'm not a coffee drinker, but I like a good sandwich. I'm a big fan of the club sandwich on a croissant at Cole's. The chicken salad is also delicious. Convenient location. Good prices. Adequate seating. Good food. Now if you are a coffee lover, this is the place to go for all the specialty coffee drinks. My friend gets her caffeine fix here with coffee and espresso.

I had a Hazelnut Latte. It was delicious!!! My wife had a mocha frappe. The blueberry cheesecake ice cream is great.

Perfect! This shop was new for me and I always order a simple coffee as a tester on first visits. They made my drink just right, friendly and quick service. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

They serve Hershey’s ice cream, which is way better than any of the candy bars they are known for. Great ice cream

Cole's is everything I was hoping for when I walked through the doors. I did not expect to be able to not only get great coffee but also milkshakes! It's a place you could stay for a few hours and enjoy the company of strangers and leave not only feeling full and satisfied but also excited about those new people you met.
