It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and the weather had cleared for the time being. We had just finished grocery shopping in the nearby town of Jackson and wanted to find something local to do. I wanted to enjoy a cup of coffee, so I quickly searched for local coffee spots and Mok A Java came up!
This cute coffee shop is located in the historic gold rush town of Mokelumne Hill! When we arrived, we were greeted incredibly kindly by the owner. She asked us what we wanted and I told her we were down for anything. She recommended the caramel latte for me, which I wanted to add lavender to as well. She promptly obliged. My husband went with a surprise drink, and was presented with a wonderful brown sugar cinnamon latte. We both chose a large size for our drinks! Normally, the larges come with 4 shots of espresso, but I only wanted 2 as 4 is a bit much for me. My husband went with the normal 4 shots. Our drinks were out in no time.
The coffee was incredibly smooth and well-balanced! The amount of ice was perfect as well. We also decided to support another local shop and purchased some spicy Cajun corn nuts crafted Moke Hill Nuts & Candies. They have been selling their snacks for over 20 years and are still going strong!
A solid 5 stars for this amazingly cute coffee shop. If you're ever in the area and driving along the 49, definitely stop by Mok A Java for your coffee and snack fix. You certainly won't be disappointed! We will definitely drive down every so often just to support this cute little place. read more
