What if a cafe wasn’t just a place to grab coffee?

Monarch Community Market & Cafe is a place to slow down and build something deeper. At Monarch, we believe in connection. That’s why we are building a space where deeper friendships and delicious food go hand-in-hand.

Our Story

A cafe built by this neighborhood,
for this neighborhood.

We’re Lynn and Josh Marshall – longtime foodservice and hospitality professionals, Rogers Park residents since 2019, and parents raising two daughters right here in the neighborhood. We built Monarch because we believe a cafe can be more than just a place to grab coffee, and we couldn’t have done it without our community.

We live in a neighborhood of over 55,000 people and it’s too easy to pass each other without ever learning a name. Monarch is our answer to that. A spacious, intentional space where neighbors become friends.
