When you're inundated with Starbucks everywhere and think that's your only choice for coffee, Moja is the sunshine coming through the clouds!! The coffee is AMAZING! Their treats are great and the service is quick, friendly and clean. I love going there when I'm in the area. read more

Great coffee. First time here as I usually went to the one on Commercial Drive when I used to work in the area. The flat white was excellent, even better than the one on commercial drive. Probably due to the barista here. I usually get the pistachio croissant but it was probably sold out so I tried the banana bread. It was ok, nothing fantastic. It took a while to order and get the drink due to only 2 staff on the floor. One taking order and the other making the drinks. Be patient. No indoor seating for now though 3 tables are available for patio seating. Most people do grab and go. You can also get their beans here to brew at home. read more

Best coffee in Vancouver, hands down. I am an Italian coffee lover. Espresso, or macchiato to be exact. Good Italian espresso has a very specific flavour profile. Chocolaty, low acidity, almost creamy. Most local roasters have a tendency to have a much higher acidity than a good Italian roast. I can't stomach an espresso made with these dark oily "espresso " roasts. Moja roasts to perfection. Recently the returned to serving in proper cups again. I have returned to the joys of a wet traditional macchiato savoured for a few fleeting minutes while the temperature is perfect. This combined with a Thomas Haas almond croissant is the perfect way to end a trip to Canadian Tire. At home i cycle between any of their roasts, this week it's Costa Rica. I pour over in a Chemex glass filter that I bought from them, and love the little thermos mug. Thanks Moja! read more

Wonderful tasty coffee and sweet staff. Easy parking outside and enough seating area inside the shop. The only suggestion is to put prices on the pastries. I understand that most of the people probably don't care about how much their cost, but me, as a grandma, curios about the prices. read more

Went to the Commercial drive location for the 1st time. I usually frequent the Nort Van location. I was disappointed with the coffee. I was either not brewe'd correctly, or watered down. There was no place to sit. in my opinion, too many people using their computers for too long. I even asked if there was an extra seating area and was told no. I discovered one outside to the right. Overall, very disappointed. Will continue to frequent the north shore location as I really like the coffee. read more

Ambiance is top, such a cute spot on the drive. coffee is so smooth and rich! The music and overall vibe is so cozy perfect for working or a cute date! The building itself is an old building so the aesthetic is top. read more

Moja Coffee - Influencer in front of Moja cafe - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

Not even mad that the best coffee I've had apparently isn't in my hometown (seattle-- the coffee capital according to no one but google). Caffeine runs through my veins so I'm always searching for my next fix and wow this didn't disappoint. We ordered 5 drinks here and it ranged from lattes to macchiatos and cappuccinos. ALL were amazing. The coffee is a little strong but super smooth! A wonderful day for the start of a good weekend. Will drive 3 hours as needed for more! read more

4.5 stars ... really good roasters in an unassuming spot. This roaster came out of no where for me... I was told that Vancouver downtown and far east downtown had some great coffee roasters. This North Van spot was a great find and I hope it gets more love and attention. Though I will be honest, I think the neighbourhood knows about it. When we were here for an hour, it was a constant stream of take out for their coffee and croissants. This location is pretty amazing as it's quite zen even though the actual coffee roasting and all it's big equipment is right there as well. You can see it through the looking glass. They have a great little patio under the shade of a beautiful big tree. The landscape is... wanting. I mean if you have fond nostalgia of Canadian Tire, then the patio is great but Moja is tucked in an industrial street. The interior of the cafe though is really calming. Lots of big windows lets in warm light and sets off all the nice wood tones of the shared tables. Service here is quick and polite. They don't speak too much but their skill on the latte art is really nice. Check out my pic! Flat White - Honestly one of the better flat whites we had in Vancouver. We loved the first one so much that we got another one with their single origin bean to try out the different notes. The coffee had a really nice strong nutty ending to the sip. It's a touch naturally sweet in the same sense as a good almond would be. It's a darker roast but little acidity to distract you from how good the bean is. The crema was rich and the microfoam was just right. Nice balance with the milk and letting the espresso take centre stage. This is a very very good flat white. 4.5/5 In addition to the drinks, they do have a nice offering of baked treats. A lot of it looked quite good. Especially their croissant. I'm not sure if they're baked in house or not but the pistachio croissant and butter tarts were calling my name. I also did spy my favourite lemon treat in Vancouver, Lemon Bar, here so thats another great local business that I'm happy to support. I love supporting local business and Moja is one of those spots that is deserving. They create a great flavour from those beans but also they have a wonderfully cute little space to showcase their skills. read more

Coffee was good, ambiance was especially great. No Wi-Fi or outlets really, so not the most work-friendly like it says, but if you have a phone hotspot it works well. Parking is very convenient read more

I'm a Tims coffee drinker. Starbucks, I try to avoid - their coffee tastes like an ash tray, and I've never smoked. We tried Moja one day on our way to our favorite store Repurpose, and loved it. LOOOVED it. Tastes great and no gross after taste like Tims coffee. This coffee won't leave you with gut rot (you know that feeling after a 'double double'). Moja has great tasting coffee. We even buy the beans to bring home. And one more thing - they seriously have thee best tasting sausage roll you'll ever eat. Delicious! AND their spinach feta rolls are also amazing. Good God! read more

* VERY disappointing * With the plethora of top notch Yelp reviews, I was really looking forward to trying out the coffee at this North Van roaster. They have a nice glass window overlooking their roasting area from the cafe portion. The niceness ended there though. The service was lackluster as if they just couldn't give a sh*t about their job. This showed both in the customer service and the quality of the espresso shot. No serious coffee place would consider a shot like this ok: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/2rvCE1Kp4WSacEHQqXH7DQ?select=q369IiUIfAyOABeNOvjg8w The crema was almost non-existent. The shot was watery and burned tasting. I'm guessing their machine is running too hot. But I'm not an expert. In any case, didn't like the vibe, and REALLY didn't like the crappy espresso. read more

Moja Coffee - Espresso - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

This coffee shop is excellent. It is in North Van on the East side of the Canadian Tire on Main St. (that's on the 2nd Narrows Bridge side). They are a high quality micro roaster. They opened a cafe last year or so and boy, did they hit the mark. The staff are all coffee afficionados but they don't rub your nose in it if you are not. They have a beautiful 3 group manual press espresso machine that works differently for all the baristas. That, in my opionion, is what the larger coffee retailers have lost hold of. read more

Moja Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

Hot double baked almond croissant right out of the oven! This place was a random find for me, we were at a restaurant a block away, and we didn't enjoy the coffee (food was great just not the coffee) so we thought of grabbing another one and also craving something sweet. So I checked yelp and this place was a 2 minute walk away. Modern cafe, my type of spot. I looked at the pastry display, to my disappointment no almond croissant, actually they were pretty limited in options by this time, it was almost 12:30pm. My friend grabbed a latte and so did I, I asked the barista if they had any other pastries except the ones that were out, he said " actually we have double baked almond croissants coming in 6 minutes if you want to wait " this wasn't even a question, Of course I was going to wait. The coffee was lovely, they had their own brand. When the wait was over it was worth it. If you haven't had a fleshly baked croissant you're missing out, especially a double baked almond croissant. For the first time I think I actually used a knife and fork to eat one that's how hot it was. Lots of almonds on top, soft center, buttery, and flaky goodness. Oh it was messy lol but good!! read more

When I visit a place it's important for me to find a good local coffee shop. I am always so happy (and relieved) when that happens... I couldn't be happier with finding Moja. They know to roast and brew coffee, the cappuccino was perfect! Small selection of pastries but these been very tasty too read more

Great place for good coffee around the area. 3 spots to study with outlets and 3 tables with 4 stools for family sit downs and meetings. Fast and friendly service. Clean, neat and aesthetic interior. Vancouver friendly checks all boxes. read more

Who would have thought Nor Van would have such a good roaster? Theirs a Tim down the road and a Mcdonalds but people are missing out on the real MVP here. If you feel like you are driving towards a shady area, where a bunch of big warehouses might be, you are in the right area. Small but good quality shop, they roast in the back. I got myself a latte which was strong AF. The bathroom is clean, they don't have wifi, and have a few tables for seating. read more

Very modern looking, in an area of North Van that you would never expect to find a coffee shop. They roast their own coffee and sell it here as well. The Americano was wonderful. It was strong but not bitter or acidic. They made it perfectly. Of course I had some kind of pastry and opted for the mini pecan pie dipped in chocolate. Oh man, it was gooooood!! Not too sweet, the pastry was light and flaky. The atmosphere is very generic, not cold, not warm just here. The staff was helpful and willing to answer any questions and make a suggestions. They do have bike parking, regular parking but I don't see a bus stop. They have a nice patio seating area. This is not a coffee shop for kids. read more

Delicious vanilla latte, espresso and house coffee. My husband got a ham and cheese croissant and enjoyed that as well. This is a great little place surrounded by trees and big windows that look out. We bought a bag of coffee to take back home. :) read more

Ordered 3 bags of coffee, Moja shipped right away, but with all the packages canada post was delivering, it seems like it was lost. I contacted Moja and Alexis promptly redelivered my order using their own driver the next day. Cannot say enough about the great service from Alexis. The coffee is amazing, but that's not really news to anyone anyways. Great Coffee, great service, what more can you ask for? read more

Hidden on a corner of a side street. There are a few parking spots in the rear. Small space. Lots of customers just come to pick up their caffeine hit and go. Great coffee. Fresh roasts. Decent assortment of fresh baked goods. read more

Very good local friendly coffee shop with good pastries. Highly recommended. Latte and Americano made very well.

A modern minimal space located in the front of the roasting operation. This is a serious local coffee operation serving seriously good coffee. It's my bro's favourite and he drives from far and away (in North Shore traffic!) for a fresh bag of small lot Moja's House Espresso. Purchase a bag of coffee and receive a free beverage of your choice (go big!). They periodically host a famous "Open House" sale and all 400g coffee bags are $10. Selected to serve their organic Guatemala coffee at this year's Coachella music fest. Known for their signature double baked almond croissants, hot and fresh from the oven. Fun fact: Moja is the Swahili word for "one". read more

Very good coffee, but Fabian will keep you waiting and waiting, depending on his mood. Hopefully he is not on cash or brewing if you go. The good news is that he is usually dawdling around in the back doing nothing. read more

I have to say, this is THE best coffee on the North Shore. I discovered their coffee at Thomas Haas when I first bought my espresso machine, and now they have their own little café. I tried many Vancouver roasters, from Artegiano, to JJBean. There are many good roasters in Vancouver, But Moja by far has the nicest espresso. It is tasty but not bitter, great crema if you grind it properly. Some espresso roasts really irritate my stomach, not Moja. It's great... Their coffee is fresh and delicious, and they sell Thomas Haas croissants. If you are an espresso lover this is the place to go for a good cup. Love this place. read more

Quick story: I once told my food snob friend that we were going to make the trek out here for coffee. She complained, she whined, she said "there's no way it can be that good." And then she tasted Moja Coffee for the first time. And she ate her words. This is the best coffee in Vancouver. No - this is the best coffee in Canada. I have never had better coffee anywhere. For a special treat with friends, ask them to serve you espresso bombs. Trust me, you'll like it. And that's to say nothing of the staff, who are each simply amazing! Friendly, knowledgeable, funny and charming, all of them! The pastry is from Thomas Haas, unquestionably good. No lunch menu, but this is not that kind of business. They do one thing, and they do it well. The only way they could get any better is if they opened up a new shop down the block from me! In the meantime, it is well worth every inch of the trek to North Vancouver. read more

*Note: Try Moja coffee in the new Vancouver Convention Center! http://www.yelp.ca/biz/coal-harbour-cafe-vancouver#hrid:adnZ7kxObD-RRu7K9DnbgA/src:self Moja respects the bean with a sophisticated and sustainable coffee attitude and organic, fair trade coffees from around the globe. With a roaster on the premises and well educated baristas to answer any questions you may have about the beans or the roasting and brewing techniques, Moja is really outstanding. You can also find their coffee at other cafes and boutique hotels. The seriously delectable pastries are from locally owned Thomas Haas and they carry the beautiful Chocolates of the same name. (No exaggeration, these are fine looking products!) The cafe itself is also quite attractive and comfortable, with lots seating and light and an outer patio in the sun, on a quiet street. The machine is Italian. It's a gorgeous hand made Victoria Arduino Athena Machine. (see pic't) The place is sleek. The vibe is good, the customers flow. The coffee is sublime. read more

Class act and excellent coffee! I'm a serious coffee snob, design and roast my own espresso blend, and use a professional espresso machine at home every day. Having coffee out is generally a bitter disappointment. My first trip to Moja was stellar from start to finish. Great environment, knowledgeable and professional staff who know how to pull a good shot AND texture milk properly. Great espresso blend resulted in a flavorful latte with an excellent start and finish. Can't wait to go back! read more

Wonderful coffee!!!! However, there is no organic milk option. Organic coffee but no organic milk?! Their excuse: not many people ask for it. Well don't you think you're doing a job half-well-done?! The male barista was super friendly but the lady behind the cash who took forever to grind our coffee was showing a bit of an attitude. I think I'll go find good coffee somewhere else. read more

The coffee was very good and smooth. My pet peeve however is a Luke warm latte. Enough said.

The cappuccino I had was one par with Elysian Coffee for flavour and presentation, but, with their Happy Hour discount (half-price espresso drinks from 1-3 every day!), it came to $1.77. I had two. Cleanly designed cafe and roastery. Highly recommended, read more

Cute modern bright little coffee shop tucked away in an industrialish area. Very friendly staff, this place has good vibes in spades. My iced americano was perfect, I didn't indulge this time but the baked goods looked amazing! Close to my work so I will be back for sure. Very hard to find parking, but worth it once you do. read more

Sadly Moja North Vancouver cannot be one of my favourite local coffee shops anymore. Miserable faces serving cold lattes are really not what I pay for. How much for friendly smiles as opposed to the sulky I hate my job and coffee faces? And what to do when you give back the Lattes and say these are cold and the second try is still cold. Bad service bad value for money - what a pity it used to be such a great coffee shop. read more

Such good coffee and such lovely staff! Parking is difficult but it's a lovely, chill place

I like it here, with almond croissant and frech press on a coldzzy day. Only con is that there's not enough parking, and not enough place for people hang out. read more

Moja Coffee - Chilly weather with hot coffee in a day with jet lag. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

Tried Moja Coffee for the first time yesterday. First strike against them: there was ZERO parking anywhere. I circled the block twice before I parked illegally in the Canadian Tire parking lot a block away and walked over. The parking spaces right outside Moja are 15 minutes only (hardly enough for a coffee date) and every one of them was full. Not cool. As if turned out, that was the only strike against the place. The outside seating is cozy. The coffee was a little cool temperature-wise, but some people like it this way. The coffee (latte) and pastries (our party tried three) were excellent. The service was average but friendly. I would definitely return to buy beans or coffee, even with the parking situation. read more
