La Mocha Cafe

I was an outsider/extra to my mom's elite event here at Cafe Mocha. I always up for coffee as a once in a while treat and this place hit the spot for sure. We were greeted upon entering, which is always a plus to start off strong. The room is very open, great lighting both from inside and out. My order came quickly after ordering and the gals behind the counter followed up with me on how much non dairy creamer I wanted. I let it sit for a moment and took my first sip, and very smooth!! We talked with two girls about the Cafe and how, it is going to be a year come April. Smart business decision to use the old tenants cardboard jackets to protect from a hot beverage cup.We talked more in depth about the transition from the old Leo's to La Mocha Cafe and had to throw in our favorite coffee scene from Kicking and Screaming with Will Ferrell.A really good cup of coffee. Plenty of other drinks I would be more than willing to try if and when I were to venture out to Lakewood again. Very personable and friendly staff. I'm pleasantly surprised at how many awesome coffee shops there are in NE Ohio. Add this one to your list coffee fans!

I believe in supporting local and I'm very happy to see this vibrant woman owned establishment in a cozy community. The place is inviting and as most of us love has a few great places for photo ops. I came in around valentines and decorations filled the space and lit it up even more. My partner and I tried drinks and a pastry. The brown sugar shaken espresso was delicious! She also raved about her Chai Latte and hadn't had the combination. There were also adult friendly alcoholic options which is clutch in my opinion- work days turn into nights so having different options is a selling point in my opinion.The pastry was just ok. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't order it again. We went around 9:30 am and it took some time to make the drinks. This isn't a traditional negative, but I like to know if I can quickly stop in and hop out or should I expect to be there. Based on this interaction carve out 20 minutes if traffic is slow inside. I've only been there once so maybe something else was going on. I would go back! I would go back, bring my laptop, have some coffee, and enjoy the vibes!

The best coffee shop ever. We really enjoyed the coziness and coffee drinks. We sat at the table in the relaxing atmosphere for a long time, talking. We ate our cookies, and the sausage croissant sandwich for $3 was delicious. Owner Dionne was most friendly, and we talked to her about her shop for a while. La Mocha has a liquor license, so seasonal/holiday drinks are popular, and she is often opened until 10 p.m. on the weekends. Next door is her shop, Uptown Finds, which has a lot of mid-century furniture and decorating items, some clothing, and sports caps. This Yelp evening was fun, thanks to our manager, Stephanie.

Loved visiting this little spot! The owner was so personable and friendly! They had a ton of different drink options including plenty of festive ones. I got a toasted marshmallow latte and it was DELISH! It wasn't too sweet, thank goodness! I also had a peanut butter cookie that was soft and delicious! Mmmm! I would definitely come back here !

I visited for the first time in July 2024 after my morning workout. I met Dionna, the owner, who opened up the cafe in the morning. She was very nice to talk with and I enjoyed getting to know a little bit about her business.They are a cafe that offer coffee and tea along with smoothies but they also sell alcohol for those who want to visit after work for "happy hour". La Mocha Cafe is located in the same building where Addicted Coffee and Ice-Cream used to be located. Addicted is now closed and LaMocha opened about 3 months ago around April 2024. Don't be confused by the Addicted Coffee/Ice-Cream sign located outside LaMocha Cafe because it eventually will be taken down. Addicted is not affiliated with LaMocha Cafe.FOOD/DRINKS -- They offer pastries, sandwiches, smoothies, ice-cream, tea, and coffee drinks. When I visited in July 2024, I ordered just a breakfast sandwich. I bought the bacon and egg sandwich on a croissant without the cheese ($5.50). It was really good especially the buttered croissant.HOURS -- They are currently opened at the hours listed below:Mon + Wed, Thurs 7am - 7pmFridays 7am - 10pmSaturdays 9am - 10pmSunday 9-3pmThis cafe is connected to Uptown Finds vintage store next door. There is a small connecting path/door between both businesses so you won't have to go outside to visit Uptown Finds.NOTE -- Give the owner some grace. I arrived just past 7am when they opened; however, they were closed but the owner eventually arrived about 10 mins later. I understand as a small business, it can be hard to get going especially with little to no employees. We have all probably been late to work before but I'm happy that the cafe opened.If you're looking for a quick morning beverage or breakfast sandwich and you live close to Madison Ave., then give this business a try. The owner of the cafe is super nice and friendly so stop on in and support this local, black-owned business.I've only been here once so a 4/5 rating is fair for now. I'll definitely be back.****GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024- 75/150 total reviews in 2024- 725 total overall Yelp reviews- Reviewed on 21 July 2024

Love love LOVED my first experience at La Mocha. Their coffee and breakfast menus are both vast and affordable. I ended up getting an order of avocado toast and an iced lavender vanilla latte. I so appreciated the size of the 16oz latte (most places only offer one *small* 8oz size). I also found that I absolutely love the beans they use for their espresso. So good! I think it's important to note that when I go to coffee shops / cafe's, I end up spending $25+ on a coffee and a sandwich. At La Mocha, the coffee was $4 and the avocado toast was $6 for a grand total of only $10 (plus a $2 tip)! The price point plus the quality of coffee and food make this, in my opinion, a cafe that you cannot pass up. Definitely check them out.

I've been coming here since it opened in 2024 and the drinks are always so good! The owners are so friendly and welcoming and you can tell they really care about this place. Anytime I go in they are always cleaning and tidying up in between orders and they always put so much attention to detail in every drink. Highly recommend this cozy cafe!
