4.0 / 5.0 A café located near Macy's. The interior is spacious, so there is plenty of room even with a stroller. It's also great that there are restrooms available. There are quite a few staff members, and they are all friendly. Another nice touch is that the food is served on stylish ceramic plates. read more

Moka & Co - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Manhattan, New York

Wow, these Yemeni coffee houses are killing it in the city! And I mean that in the best way possible! I've been to Moka and Co before but never this location. It's by far the largest Yemeni coffee house I've been to and it's two stories high. It's located across Macys Herald Square, so definitely gets a lot of traffic. I had no trouble finding seats though. It's very clean including the restroom and the architecture/design is very well thought out and beautiful. I went for the usual Yemeni coffee and I got a Dulce de leche croissant, which was huge! Both items tasted good. My total came out to be about 20 bucks, but that didn't surprise me given the location. Wishing this place much more success :-) read more

Highway robbery. In no condition should a single size chai cost $12 (w/tip) in NYC. Service was a bit wonky too but I'll let it slide. All for supporting minority businesses but not when they're priced outrageously and can't back it up with a product that matches its prices. read more

The inside is really nice. They play Arab music. The staff is kind and very helpful. The desserts and drinks are great. However, only one bathroom was working - and that one did not have a toilet seat nor toilet paper. Felt very unsanitary. Other than that / great place. read more

A pretty big coffee joint in midtown Manhattan. Stopped by after walking past and seeing the interior. We had the biscoff latte (which was GREAT) and the pistachio latte (which was alright but tasted pretty artificial). Plenty of seating inside. Only cons were the prices were on the higher side due to the location and we also noticed the gelato had really bad freezer burn /: read more

Stopped by for a morning coffee and pastry. The coffee was fine (though it could've used a little more kick since it was a spiced coffee) and the croissant looked beautiful and the filling was PB&J but the croissant itself felt soggy as if they bought it from Costco and filled it. Service was relatively quick as you order from the counter and sit down or take it to go. read more

Moka & Co - Pistachio croissant and Mufawar Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Manhattan, New York

Sugar overload! On my first visit, I ordered the Mufarwar with light sweetness, and it was still incredibly sweet. I decided to give them another shot, so on my second visit I tried the pistachio matcha latte. Unfortunately, it was so sweet that I couldn't finish it. It's a shame because the café is adorable. It's spacious, has plenty of seating, and is a great place to work or catch up with friends. I just wish the drinks were more balanced, because the sweetness completely overpowered the flavors. read more

Never refund. Can you believe it? I had to cancel my order because they can't make it for the machine. I requested a refund $14.15 or change another drink. They never. Please be careful!!!!!! Don't Go this store, please! That's like a scam! They never return your money. Let's go to Bayridge Brooklyn near 77 Street R line Moka& co store! They are very nice & clean! read more

What a dream to visit Moka & Co as my first stop after taking a bus into Manhattan! There's not may Yemeni cafés in Colorado, so I wanted to check this out on vacation. The interior is impressively beautiful. I had to get some laptop work done, so I ordered an Iced Moka Spice Latte with a delicious-looking pastry and hung out in their spacious seating area. Thank goodness for power outlets and strong Wi-Fi connection. Would love to check out any of their other locations across the country in the future! read more

stopped by to grab a quick matcha and ordered the strawberry matcha with light sweetness. it was still pretty sweet, but overall it was a good drink. the matcha itself had a very nice, creamy taste that paired well with the strawberry milk and strawberry purée. however, the strawberry flavor was pretty overwhelming. even just looking at the drink, it seemed like there was more strawberry milk than matcha, just not my personal preference. otherwise, the drink came out very quickly, within about 5-10 minutes, and everyone working there was really nice. overall, it was a good experience. there was plenty of seating inside, outlets available, and bathrooms as well. the location is very close to penn station, which makes it a convenient option before taking the train. i will say it's definitely on the pricier side, even for a new york city matcha; my drink came out to around $12. read more

Moka & Co - strawberry matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Manhattan, New York

We went in here for some coffee and snack. By snack I mean something sweet and I needed to get something hot. That cold weather is a lot. We went inside and it wasn't really packed so we were able to sit and relax for a little bit. The presentation of the sweet treats was great, but the taste was not. The coffee was good, but we were lost on what to order so we just kept it basic. The service was good and they were friendly, but I did find the prices a bit high read more

Something new is brewing here! The interior of this gorgeous space is shiny, well laid out, boosting high ceilings, with an impressive display of equipment. There was a lovely sense of serenity within the place. The first time I was here, I decided to order one of the traditional Yemeni lattes: Maleki. I also had the Dulce de Leche Coconut Croissant. The Maleki was aromatic, milky, smooth, and rich, blended with ginger, coffee husks, honey, cardamom, milk, along with cinnamon. Each spice was discernible and worked beautifully together. The Croissant was indulgent and sweet, though a bit on the dry side. Finally stopped by another time to try the Dubai Chocolate Latte, which was quite expensive at over $13, but totally worth it! There was a thick yummy chocolate shell casing surrounding the plastic cup, strong taste of coffee mixed with plenty of pure pistachio flavor, along with tasty kunafa and rich foam on top. This beverage was decadent, sweet, and irresistibly creamy. Service was friendly and staff know the menu well. I can't wait to return for the Biscoff Latte and more of their decadent looking desserts! read more

I thought this spot was super cute. The inside is gorgeous and unique. However, the latte that I got was definitely not what I expected. I got the signature latte (forgot its name), but it literally just tasted like tea and milk if that. I'm sure if I tried something else. It would've been better, but it felt like it was definitely more of a tea café and not a lot of coffee options. read more

I arrived at approximately 7:00 AM to find two other customers already in the store. As I approached the counter, it was apparent that the sole employee was scrambling to prepare the store for opening -- she may have arrived late. I stepped back from the counter to give her space to get organized, but after standing there for ten minutes with no acknowledgment, it became clear she was not going to make eye contact. I eventually sat down, though doing so felt awkward -- as if I were intruding on her setup time. By the time two additional customers arrived and she was ready to take orders, the interaction was functional but neither welcoming nor engaging. I never ordered anything, but I enjoyed the free Wi-Fi the free water. read more

Went at 9:25am, ordered and got my food within 5 minutes. Only 3 other people in the café. Super pricey though. The chicken puff pastry label was out but there weren't any, and the pistachio croissants were actually above it. A couple other croissants were mislabeled too. Wish I could've tried the puff pastry! Music reminded me of walking through Disneyland. Got an iced pistachio matcha latte with an espresso shot and honestly, it was really good even for me (a non-coffee drinker). The pistachio totally masked the coffee taste. Also had the iced strawberry matcha latte and loved it as it didn't taste powdery at all. The Zaatar cheese croissant lowkey reminded me of that complimentary bread you get at Italian restaurants that you just can't stop eating. The biscoff milk cupcake was on point too...not overly sweet and held together well. I'd definitely come back and recommend it, but... it's expensive. If you're not on a budget, come through! read more

Moka on 34th Street has a really nice concept. The desserts are incredibly cute and look just like real fruit. They also have tables where you can sit, relax, and enjoy everything, which makes for a pleasant atmosphere. That said, the service was disappointing. I don't like to judge based on appearances, but the staff came across as very stiff and unwelcoming, almost like they didn't want to be there and that I was bothering them by ordering. There was a NYC cop in front of me, and I honestly had the impression that they didnt want him. This was my second visit in less than two months. While my kid loves the Dubai chocolate drink, I personally would hesitate -- Unfortunately, the service just didn't feel warm or welcoming dessert. More place in NYC for sure read more

This Yemeni coffee place just opened up not long ago like a few weeks ago and it is very big and spacious inside. Very fancy and I do believe the special drinks are a bit on a pricier end but they are very tasty. I came in to get the Dubai chocolate latte but then it was sold out due to popular demand so that was a bummer! I had to resort to the pistachio latte, which tasted pretty good too! I love pistachio! I had to mix the pistachio sauce and bits and pieces at the bottom of the cup with the espresso when I first got it. They don't mix it for you. The coffee is either served in one size for to go or dine in. You are to get one of those fobs that tell you when you're drunk is ready for pick up. There's also free WiFi in the whole place. There is a second level but I never got to go upstairs. There is a lot of expensive high tech equipment in the place by the entrance making it very luxurious. There is also a section in the middle of the place that has coffee beans for sampling. There's also nice instrumental Yemeni music playing that feels like you're in Yemen or a movie. It is very pleasing and calming. There is plenty of booths, tables, and chairs for dine in. I will definitely come back for the desserts. They got the milk chocolate and white Dubai chocolate. Also strawberry croissants and pistachio cake. Very delicious and nice looking! read more

3 stars for purely just the ambiance. Stunning cafe and so much seating. A great place to go if you're catching up with a friend or want to get work done. However, zero stars for the viral fruit pastries they sell. I try not to give any place a bad review but they were just not good at all. Every pastry was the same, a very gluey and gelatinous mold filled with an underwhelming fruit center. Also, other cafes that execute the fruit pastries very well actually sell it cheaper than Moka&Co. Coffee was ok at this location not the best compared to the Astoria location. My word of advice is for them to either take the fruit pastries off their menu or go back to the drawing board. A Yemeni coffee shop should have amazing coffee and great bites, unfortunately this location need to work on that. read more

A nice cafe in Midtown with interesting drink selection and beautiful pastries! There's nice, comfortable seating, free wifi, and bathroom available. My partner and I tried the Mufawar, which had an interesting flavor with cardamom notes, and unlike other coffees I've had tbh. Our family member ordered a biscoff latte and it was great! Prices are good value if you're considering the lounging time in the space. read more

Stopped by Moka & Co at night and was surprised by how quiet it was for a Midtown spot--huge space but low-key vibes. The upstairs area looks nice but is reserved for events, so don't plan on escaping up there with your laptop. I got the Dubai chocolate latte, and... it was fine. Pretty milky, and if there was pistachio in there, it was playing hide and seek. Didn't end up trying the baked goods (diet day, unfortunately), but they looked amazing--like the kind of stuff you regret walking past. The real reason I'd come back? Chill atmosphere, kind staff, and a place that doesn't feel rushed. Next time, I'm skipping the drink and going straight for the pastries. read more

Spacious and new to the neighborhood. Love the service. The prices, however, are a bit steep even for midtown Manhattan. If you cannot handle tumeric or ginger or cardamom, get something more basic. I got something a bit interesting but it tasted too healthy and very ginger forward. The pastries look amazing tho! read more

This was a great experience. I bought their signature coffee. It was delicious. The ambiance was beautiful and so were the desserts. They have a huge selection of desserts. This location has two floors. We weren't able to see the second floor because a private party was going on at the time. Check them out or one of their other locations. Their spiced coffee is delicious and has a very unique flavor read more

Watched four staff members behind the counter question the authenticity of a $20 bill coming from a man of African descent. He was clearly there with his laptop to work remotely and ordered 2 drinks. Very unprofessional and seemed like the suspicion was racially motivated. They tried to embarrass this customer- kudos to him for remaining polite and not reacting. Watched the staff laugh and continue to check the $20 bill after he sat down. I already disliked my experience when the woman at the cash register auto-tipped herself instead of letting me sign. On top of both these experiences, the drink was mid. read more

Great aesthetics, one block from Penn Station. I've been several times. My fav so far are the strawberry matcha, Spanish coffee, and the salmon croissant . read more

I love and frequent their location on the UWS so I was excited to this location. It's very spacious for a NY coffee shop and they have a 2nd level with more seating. I got their date latte which was good and a little sweet. However, the staff was a bit rude and argumentative, specifically when we wanted to check out the seating on their second floor despite it being completely open so I was a bit put off by this. Otherwise, it's nice spot. read more

I'm a huge fan of MokA's modern approach to traditional Arabic coffee. The place is well laid out with outlets at every seat(this is a big thing for me). The service staff manages the place well. Sweet with customers, but firm in kicking disturbances out. Coffee and Tea was decent. Nothing groundbreaking. My small suggestions for improvements would be to stabilize the tables and to have a clearly labeled area for finished mugs. Wobbly tables are very frustrating when trying to do work. To wrap up, definitely swing by and purchase a pastry. I promise that you will find something worth trying. read more

Very spacious cafe in the area, but it is also very, very expensive here.. From the dessert to the drinks, I think they are like $1-2 more than the typical cafe you would go to in Manhattan. I liked that it was laptop friendly and spacious enough for everyone to spread out, with the staff bringing out your order once you get seated and leaving you alone! I would probably come back here if I'm looking to get some work done and do not need to be bothered for couple hours, but also to get my money's worth ): read more

Came here for the first time today! The service is beautiful. Amra is the sweetest. My lavender Matcha was made wrong, but she made it again with NO hesitation. A true gem. These two stars are unfortunately, for the taste/quality. Matcha is a bit chalky. The lavender matcha does NOT taste like lavender. It was either too sweet or bitter. The pistachio cake is ok it's just a color and regular cake with pistachios. It's a BEAUTIFUL ambience, but the prices are not matching the quality whatsoever. Like I said, the people are great & it's so comfy being inside I almost forgot I was in there read more

I really wanted to love this place, and at first glance, it made me think I would. The decor is lovely, perfectly curated for a coffee shop, and the pastries and cake look incredibly delicious. That's exactly why I bought two desserts, fully expecting them to deliver. I didn't try the drinks. Reality check: $29.40 for two desserts at a coffee shop in Midtown is wild, especially when there are no prices displayed. I'm not frugal with food, but this one was disappointing. The disappointment continued with the to go packaging: basic deli style plastic containers and one container was too big for the bag I was given. For a space this polished and at that price point, I expected much more. At $12 and $15 per dessert, I anticipated chef level quality and thoughtful presentation. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The tiramisu cup was just okay, nothing memorable, and the chocolate notes you expect from tiramisu were barely there. The mocca (spelled this way on the receipt) chocolate mouse cake was also underwhelming and had a flavor profile that did not resemble classic chocolate. Not bad enough to complain about, but not something I'd order again. Because of this experience, I don't think I'll be back to try the drinks. I'd rather not spend around $10 and leave wishing I had gone to Starbucks instead. If you're coming strictly for aesthetic photos, this is your spot. But if you're a foodie looking for flavor to match the price and vibe, you might want to skip this one. read more

I tried a zaatar croissant here. I liked the flavor and enjoyed the subtle flavor without the pastry feeling too heavy or too oily/rich. I wish it was spread more evenly though rather than just at the base of the pastry. I think this place is absurdly expensive, even for midtown Manhattan. Most coffees and teas were $9-10 pre tax/tip. Croissant was $8. The spot is clean and decent for studying and spending time in. If you take advantage of dining in, then I think the high price is slightly more justified. Location is also pretty convenient being right next to Penn, although even warming up a croissant took 10 minutes so they're pretty slow. read more

I only had the pistachio raspberry croissant at the cashier's recommendation - she said it was their most popular item. It was full of food coloring (red and green), overly sweet, had no inkling of pistachio flavor (other than a sprinkle of pistachio bits on the top) and oddly enough, served warmed. I had wanted to try the fruit pastries but the shell had beads of water on it and didn't look appetizing. It looked like the chocolate shell was about to melt. read more
