“ This was our first time having brunch at Mokafe and we were very pleasantly surprised by how excellent the food is (in addition to the coffee, of course!) We ordered the shakshuka, egg breakfast bowl, turkey egg sandwich, the kunafe croissant and Nutella croissant. Everything was delicious and well made. The coffees were also generously sized and delicious. We brought our very active 1.5 year old with us who had plenty of room to roam around (without being too disruptive to others). It’s a great place to bring out of town guests for breakfast/brunch and very kid-friendly, which families like ours appreciate. I hear the French toast is amazing so can’t wait to try that next time!! ”
“ The atmosphere, customer service & FOOD was amazing . Rasheed was so personable & had great recommendations. Mariam was so sweet & pleasant! It was so many lunch & breakfast options but I choose the beef bacon sandwich , home fries & worlds famous match with caramel & strawberry ! 10/10 !!! ”
“ This place is really cute, and has such beautiful desserts. I had the coffee and although it was very very sweet, they had fun flavors. I don’t like when places add gratuity automatically. But at least this place is clear about it so you don’t add it twice when you check out. I also think the desserts and food are way too pricey. But overall I think the staff is nice and the food is good. ”
“ feels like a warm hug. The atmosphere is cozy, with soft lighting and a perfect playlist that makes it ideal for working or catching up with a friend. I ordered a cold brew . The cold brew was expertly crafted, perfectly balanced, easily one of the best I've had. Service was quick and genuinely friendly i was served by Marcel she was too friendly. If you're looking for a great coffee spot with lovely ambiance and excellent baked goods, this is a must-visit. ”
“ Made a trip from NY just for this cafe and it was well worth it. The restaurant is spacious and the decor is beautiful. Everything we ordered was amazing. Very reasonable prices for large portions and great service. My group had an amazing time here. It’s hard not to list everything we got but here goes; my favorites were the hummus, ceasar salad, mushroom truffle pizza and the chicken & waffles. For the latte flights there was pistachio, Nutella, biscoff and caramel. Some of the flavors were too sweet for me it was fun to share and try because their drinks were quite large which I appreciated. My group was so full coming out of here I wish I had room to try some of their bakery goods. The pistachio croissant looked scrumptious, I’ll have to come back to try it. ”
