I haven't had any drinks here, but for food I've had: - the avocado toast - the caprese sandwich on croissant - the Dubai chocolate brownie Honestly, none of those really blew me away, and I wouldn't rush back for them. I will, however, say that the atmosphere inside is amazing! I love the decor, I love how spacious it is. It is super comfortable and a great place to do work. That alone would make me come back. The servers are always very friendly as well, and on a nice day I could see the backyard outdoor space being a great place to work. read more

Recently came here for the first time for a work meeting. The decor was all green and the vibe was nice. I got a matcha latte and a pistachio croissant. The pastry was a bit too sweet for me and messy so it was hard to eat but it still tasted good. They also had different croissant sandwich options as well. Seems like a lot of people come here to work or have meetings. Honestly it was a bit hard to focus because the playlist they had on was so good- Michael Kiwanuka, Amy Winehouse, Hermanos Gutiérrez, etc. What a perfect background for a coffee shop instead of the same songs I typically hear. I would definitely come back to try other drinks and food from the menu. read more

I just wanted to give the employee Cruz a shoutout here, he is really kind & helpful in finding the right dessert for you (I know that sounds silly but with the plethora of great options, analysis paralysis is warranted). Personally, albeit I like the croissants, I can't say that they're my favorite. The tiramisu, however, will forever be one of my favorites. Both the knafe & regular tiramisus are great, it's a matter of personal preference. I'd definitely return back, hope to see Cruz there! read more

Beautiful coffee shop with emerald green in the forefront of decor.... Made an unplanned visit for coffee to go, that turned into a relaxing snack to stay. When I entered I didn't want to leave so so grabbed their 7$ special chocolate croissant and coffee and tested the waters of daytime relaxation. The coffee was served in a large class mug (love! Def preferred over any paper cup), and the croissant was delicious! There is heavy bakery competition in this neck of the woods so you better come with your A game or go home. Everyone was friendly and the place was full of people both alone and in groups that seemed to be taking advantage of some weekday downtime. Unforced ran out of half and half (hence I minused a star) I don't do coffee with milk and there is no reason to run out of half and half at a coffee place at noon on a Monday... but they were very sweet and accommodating after I asked if they had regular heavy cream, to substitute. They do a brunch which I look forward to returning for... but a solid coffee option in the local "hood" read more

Just want to preface by saying that competition is extremely fierce and tough in the Williamsburg/Greenpoint neighborhood. There's so many unique mom and pop great cafes and bakeries with a strong neighborhood camaraderie. I was really excited that Mokafe opened in Greenpoint since their location in Astoria is still a long trek for me from Greenpoint. I've been eyeing their kunafe chocolate all over social media and came here near opening around 8am on a weekend. I was disappointed in a few things sadly...the radio silent (cold) customer service, the lattes, and the croissants. The mocha and pistachio lattes were made with syrup (I'm not a fan of syrup with coffee as I can replicate this process at home and Starbucks uses syrups) and the croissants were extremely stale and felt a week old. The barista felt almost annoyed at our presence and didn't seem happy that we came in. I'd suggest only coming here for the kunafe chocolate. I hope they can improve their customer service since that's generally an easy fix. A place with a lot of potential - I hope they can improve so they can get good business in this neighborhood. It was an overall 2 star experience but I really like supporting local mom and pop businesses as well as putting them on the map, but this was a brutal $30 spent in really syrupy lattes and stale croissants. read more

I passed this place many times and finally decided to go. I had no idea it was a chain (never heard of it before). I got the cardamom latte and two pastries. The latte was very good. Small for the price, but very good. I got the Danish, which I loved. I got the kunafa croissant. I had no idea what kunafa is/was, but it looked interesting. It was fine, very rich though. All together, nice pastries. A nice place to grab a bougie latte. Not the cheapest place if you want bare bones coffee and a pastry, but a good choice if you want a fancier choice. Limited seating inside. read more

The drinks and location are great , but what stood out most was the customer service. It's rare to find a place where the team goes out of their way to make sure you leave happy. That's what will keep me coming back! read more

This is a cute cafe in Williamsburg! Despite being small it has some seating inside and outside! There are a lot of non caffeinated drinks to choose from - the mango strawberry refresher was very good - especially on a hot day! The pistachio latte was nice as well but didn't taste much different from a latte read more

I'm unsure about the bad reviews, but honestly I was having a really tough day today and Anna and Margarita at Mokafe turned it around. Anna, especially, was wonderful and kind. She helped me pick out what I wanted to drink offering suggestions. She made me a pistachio latte inside a cracking cup, probably the most expensive coffee I've ever had to be honest, but it was delicious. I also came for the knafa chocolate bar which was phenomenal. The ladies working in the front were great and there was also seating in the back which would be a nice place to sit and relax, but I was taking my offerings to go. I didn't try any of the pastries this time, but everything looked fresh. I'll be back! read more

this cafe has some outdoor and indoor seating but is very limited! the viral kunafa chocolate was actually worth it and i highly recommend trying it! it's a bit sweet for me personally. the cracked chocolate iced latte was so fun to crack in the cup - thought the coffee was average but was a fun experience. the barista was very nice and helpful! read more

A few weeks ago I walked in to the café, then walked right out, when I was told the price of a mushroom coffee. At 83 years old, it seems that only yesterday a complete lunch in Greenpoint cost $5.00. Today, after my session at the YMCA, I said to myself, if I don't try it, I will never know what the mushroom coffee experience will be. Danna took my order and the time to explain, as well as she could, the taste. I decided to splurge and ordered an apple pastry as well as the so called coffee. I must say, I am so glad that I reproved myself, because the delicious taste of the drink, which was like a cappuccino, and the flaky apple pastry warmed my heart. The price is equal to the quality of the product. I will be very happy to bring friends, who visit me in Greenpoint, here as a treat. Danna, who served me, is a congenial and heartwarming person, who personifies the enjoyable experience in this beautiful first class café. read more

While strolling on Manhatten Avenuein Brooklyn, go figure, we stumbled on this little spot called Mokafe. It passed my smell test where the scents did not smell overpowering and synthetic. We decided to order the Chagaccino, the cold version... which was not sweet but.. I thoroughly enjoyed it, it was very refreshing not with the over powering sweet additives one might find in other establishments... We also ordered two Dubai Bears, one vanilla one chocolate. The vanilla tasted amazinly rich, which was devoured rather quickly, it's chocolate counterpart we are saving for later. We also ordered another item with orange shavings, cream and, Knafu chocolate - not unlike the famous Dubai chocolate bars - this was really tasty. I saw additional items I must try from the menu. This means I will revisit Mokafe's BK location again. read more
