When things are meant to be, they come together pretty seamlessly. This is exactly how Mentobe Cafe got its name and why downtown Farmington has a great new coffee shop. Former marketing professionals, the Mentobe owners met a man that worked in construction, specifically restaurants. One of the partners wanted to own a bookshop; Mentobe is located in the space a resale bookshop was located. Another partner’s father owned a pub; Mentobe is located next to Cowley’s Irish Pub.
Setting aside the coincidences, Mentobe is a fine addition to the downtown Farmington street scene. Located between Cowley’s and the Civic Theatre, Mentobe offers sidewalk seating and cool, comfortable seating inside. Exposed brick walls, chic dark stained wooden tables and chairs and a fireplace all add to the comfort of Mentobe’s atmosphere.
As cool as the atmosphere is, the coffee is extraordinary. This is because they roast their own coffee beans on-site; one of the few coffee houses around that does this. Baked goods and chocolate confections are also on the menu.
