Yeah, I totally forgot to review this on Saturday when I actually went. Now that I've made my way…read moreback here, I can now finally work on this review in earnest. I've been meaning to come to this place for a short while now. Honestly, the name of this establishment itself is pretty cool. Loaded Goat? Makes me think "liddy on a stack", and anything that makes me think "liddy on a stack" I gotta go check out. I actually tried to write a review here from the last week, but as I was writing, I'd realized something I don't always come across. I was at an impasse and couldn't finish this review on that visit, so I had to plan another trip here. Right away, I notice that rustic interior that's also quite cozy. There many flavors of coffees and latte to choose from with shots if you want something a little extra. Also, the prices here are very reasonable. I didn't get time to sit inside last time, but this time I had a much more laid-back experience. The vibe reminds me a little of a North Carolina ambiance with a splash of California mixed in for good measure. North Carolina because of the interior, and California because of the music. On this visit, the guy tending to me told me the microwave was down, so I couldn't have my croissant toasted. That was quite alright though since I had 2 more stops to make anyway, with one being about half hour's drive away from here. Besides, the croissant was still one of the better croissants I've had in a long time and seasoned perfectly, so I have no complaints, toasted or not. The coffees I had were the Snickers on my first visit and the Coconut Creme Pie Latte this time around. Both lattes were, indeed, liddies on stacks! They were both GOATED, and honestly I would come here more often if my schedules were more friendly to coming here. I have no complaints about this place period. I don't say this following kind of statement often, but I actually prefer this to Starbuck's! That's just how goated this place is.

Many entrees are already served on a bed of lettuce and slice of bread. Note: Kitchen CLOSES for orders of meals at 3:00 pm on weekdays. Very vintage with great entree presentation. I love the quiet areas with single seating if you prefer coffee only while working or reading. This cafe has a boho and a one of a kind vintage feel. Nice crowd with people of all ages and a friendly staff. Very unique bakery desserts but Priced equal to most specialty coffees. Self seating with payment and order in advance on an I pad. Choose your own table and food is served to you! A large menu to choose from. Seafood entrees would be nice for vegetarians. Even a tuna or shrimp plate with soup and salad. One REQUEST.... PLEASE serve HOT specialty coffees in different cups or add a cover to keep them HOT. My pistachio goes cold well before I finish my meal so I skip dessert for that reason. Perhaps offer a refill. Ice is needed near water dispenser. Truly a diamond in the rough! I highly recommend pistachio coffee, cafe, and everything within it.

My son and I stopped in here over the Christmas break while we were in New Haven…read more It was cold and the ride from New Jersey was long enough that we wanted to grab a coffee and pastry. Wonderful selection of baklava and similar pastries. We ordered a coffee and I had a specialty coffee and we ordered 3 of the various pastries. It was more than $30. I did not ask the price on the pastries prior to ordering- so that's on me. This has the feel of a local stop and regulars so if you're in the area it's worth checking out.

#44 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES…read more A small Yemeni business that deserves so much love! We had the pleasure to meet the owners of M2 Mocha and their fantastic team a day before their soft opening. They invited us into the space before it was ready and offered to make us drinks to try. Now that, is a testament to community and genuine hospitality. I cannot wait to continue coming here for delicious drinks, great service, and a good study spot. They have a large study space in the back where you can also order drinks from a kiosk. Very large space but cozy vibes for studying/working. Plenty of seating in their storefront as well. They have free wifi and lots of food options so it is a great place to go for lunch or a long day work studying. Great place for grab and go as well. Now for the drinks, they have lots of speciality lattes, refreshers, authentic Yemeni teas/coffees, and matcha! The owners are from Yemen and are bringing their authenticity to M2 Mocha. There are also lots of pastries and sandwiches offered. Overall, it's a great spot to enjoy a drink, grab a bite, study, or hang out with friends. Definitely a local business worth checking out!

The cardamom latte was strong, I would opt for cardamom chai next time. It was fun to try something new. I wish I had bought a few pastries to take home, their display case is very tempting. Excellent for families/date night/solo time.

They also don't sell bags of beans. The latte and Americano we got were so weak tasting. They are kind of a bar but the atmosphere is really not anything remotely like a bar. It's hard to imagine popping in here for a glass of wine. Kind of a tea house but not leaning into this. Pick something and do it well. Right now they're trying to be all the things and doing them all badly. The hours are also so infuriating, why would you not be open early or on Sundays? I live down the street but most times when I get an inkling to go here it's closed. Sometimes the vibes are super weird too. Today was pleasant but other times I have been in it was dead silent, so uncomfortable. I want this place to improve so that I can enjoy going here but it's not working as it is now.
