Cafe Moka

*Re-Updating this review for relevance (still 5-stars though!)*Let me begin by saying that while everyone there is great, Landon will literally Ratatouille a drink for you--I'm not kidding! I go in there not knowing what I want and Landon just works his magic. He'll also gladly tell you the recipe to use when ordering in case he's not there/not the one taking your order. I've ordered something before and had it correctly guessed as a "Landon Creation." Do they pay this guy enough? Who knows, but if he's not in charge of the menu then I think that's a HUGE missed opportunity on their part...This place is (still) hands-down one of THE best places to get your coffee in Charlotte. To anyone who says otherwise, that's reflective of a personal problem on your part (or your feral kids..? No establishment should be okay with kids running amok). I said what I said. Ultimately, it's a cute, cozy place with great coffee that's perfect for those who are working (like me) or meeting up with friends. The customers here GENERALLY observe proper decorum, but regardless, this isn't something to fault Cafe Moka for.And if a drink seems to be missing something somehow? All you need to do is respectfully approach one of the baristas and they'll surely take care of it.

Average quality coffee, terrible service and expensive.I've been here a few times, ordering my usual cortado.I like to drink my coffee in a proper cup (not paper)Every single time I ask for it, I'm either ignored or dismissed.This last time, the excuse was that they couldn't accommodate my request because they would be closing at 4.... I was there at 2 pm. Just pure laziness.If you don't want to provide a good service don't open a coffee shop.Icing on the cake was the 50 cents extra to add cinnamon on my wife's coffee.Blacklisted place for me.I would rate zero stars if I could

Wanted to retry cafe Mika after a few unsavory times of going. This time around everything went well at first but began to fall down a little. The Drink:This is the good of the cafe. I tried the Flat white which has become one of my go to drinks for a cafe and I wasn't disappointed. With this being said the Flat White had a rich chocolaty note to the drink from the espresso beans they use. The addition of the well textured milk elevated this drink and a plus was the latte art on top! The Ambiance:One word to describe this: Loud.All in all drinks where good but it was loud in the cafe

Small, welcoming coffee shop in a nice Charlotte shopping center. We parked nearby on the street and walked in. The menu is clearly displayed up behind the counter. They offer a variety of coffee and tea options and color code the flavor intensity. I chose the honey matcha oat milk latte with lavender. It didn't taste like lavender but the latte itself was good. Seating is available inside and outside. Interior and exterior areas were clean and quiet. The cafe seems like a nice spot to work or meet with friends. I don't live in the area, but I would stop in again for tea if visiting.

Staff here are super friendly and I absolutely love their menu. They put how strong each drink is on their menu by color to help you out. I ordered their specialty pumpkin coffee and the main reason I was disappointed is that it tasted nothing like pumpkin. I don't know if they forgot the pumps but there was no pumpkin flavor at all. There is a good amount of seating inside so it is a good place to get some work done.

Cute coffee shop with a relaxed vibe! It was busy when we were there so didn't get many pictures inside. They have a lot of seating considering the size of their location and have a few more spots outside to sit and enjoy your drink. They offer coffee espresso, teas, smoothies, and specials to pick from and offer snack items as well ( cookies, muffins, etc). We stuck with beverages this time. I had a flat white with cinnamon powder. We also had a strawberry smoothie and Carmel frozen latte. All were delicious!

I visit Cafe Moka a few times a month. It's a short walk away from where I live and I really enjoy the atmosphere because of the bright sunlight that shines in through the large windows as well as the fun decor that gives off small-town coffee shop vibes. Here, you can enjoy great coffee and other beverages for about the same prices you'd pay at Starbucks.They offer seasonal specials which are usually unique and creative. On my last visit, I tried the autumn tea latte, and my typical coffee drink is any of their lattes (which usually aren't overly sweetened, which I appreciate) or if I have some extra time, a pour-over coffee. The employees are always friendly and quick to serve up the orders. This is a great place to get a little work done, do some reading or meet up with a friend. There's a little bit of outdoor seating right outside the shop but also a bigger turf area with surrounding tables and swinging benches just a few feet away.

Another great coffee shop with a great service, cool vibe, delicious coffee and Instagrammable look. This place is in a shopping plaza called The Waverly with plenty to do around within walking distance and free street parking. The menu has quite a few options of drinks and patries. As you can see from the pictures, it is great looking and clean. Overall, 100% recommended.

Service is always pretty great, we love the baristas at this location. The drinks can be hit or miss, unfortunately. I've had really good drinks that are prepared differently by each person , so not always consistent. Seating can be a little limited as well and it can get noisy, but still a nice spot to stop in that isn't your generic coffee shop.

Can't say enough about Cafe Moka! Definitely a favorite hotspot to meet up with friends and family for some of the best coffee drinks. Great atmosphere, variety, friendly baristas, clean and we even purchased some merchandise! Exceptional service. Thank you to all those that make our experience their amazing. I mean look how cute this place is! You guys rock!
