If you're in the mood for a coffee and a pastry (the best kind of mid-day snack), Mokafe is an excellent spot. I've been here a few times and to be quite honest - I am grateful this place is a drive from me because I would eat here every day. The coffees are both unique and tasty (a bit on the milky side, but I like that), and the pastry were as fresh as could be. Not to mention, the place itself is lovely. When it's nice outside, they open the windows so you can sit and enjoy the fresh air while still being inside. Each time I've gone, the staff has been excellent too - super polite and willing to answer questions about the pastry. I've only had the coffee here, so I can't speak to their match or non-coffee drinks. Also, I am dying to try their cheesy Knafa, but it's so big I need someone to share it with! read more

Been here 2-3 times. The last two times - one of the female employees seems to be spacey as fuckkk. My girlfriend ordered a coffee and all she served her was milk. She completely forgot to add the espresso and we were completely flabbergasted on how that was even possible. Weird Same girl also messed up on our sandwich order during our last visit. We are not in a rush to return and actually are deterred read more

MoKafe has a welcoming atmosphere and we came here as a family with our dog. When it is sunny, they open all the doors so we can step in for a seat from the outside. The seating here is great and the booths can sit 4 people comfortably. There is a wide variety of beverages and sandwiches. My wife had the coconut latte here and liked it and I had the everything bagel cream cheese croissant, which was excellent. Since we sat down, they brought out the food and drinks to us, with a very small wait time. This cafe has pup cups and is dog friendly. No matter what time I pass by this place, it is always full of people. I recommend this cafe! We had a nice time here and will be back. read more

Mokafe is such a beautiful spot. The aesthetic is on point, and I loved the earthy green couches. The whole place feels warm, cozy, and is perfect for relaxing or catching up with someone. The Matcha Latte gets a 7/10. It was tasty, but it honestly tasted more like a Mr. Softee vanilla cone than a matcha latte. The Strawberry Kiwi Mint Refresher gets an 8.5/10. It was super refreshing with great flavor, just a touch sweeter than I expected. The service was amazing, and everyone was incredibly welcoming. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the atmosphere and to try more of the menu. read more

Pretty expensive for drinks, pastries too. I ordered their refresher before and it's good but I just had a blueberry vanilla matcha, which tastes like cereal milk once you mix it all up (is the matcha in the room with us?) Besides that it's not a bad idea to get a non-milk drink here, don't do otherwise! read more

Mokafe - Vanilla Blueberry Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

A Turkish cafe in Fort Lee, among the Korean places in Main St. Being a cafe, I didn't have high expectations for coffee itself, but the baklava they have certainly satisfied my craving. Triangle Baklava was perfect for a dessert. Right amount of honey, soaking in through the crisp thin layers. read more

Been to Mokafe about three times now. Big fan of their drinks. Went to the Mokafe in midtown first, so the second Mokafe I've been to. I've tried a few of their drinks and desserts. I'm not the biggest fan of the desserts, I think they're too big for me to finish alone and would only get them when I had someone to share it with. The desserts are quite pricey but I think the drinks are honestly very fairly priced. I think most of the specialty drinks without modifiers are $6. In a time where businesses have normalized $7-8 drinks, it was nice to see. Drinks are very delicious and have a very wide variety. A bit hard to get a seat because of how busy it is. Interior is very clean and nice. Staff was kind and helpful. read more

Upon walking into the store, your expectations are set high by the bright overhead lights, clean floors, and the modern look of the sleek white walls and velvet cushion seats. However, the actual cafe experience falls rather short of the aesthetic. The prices felt expensive relative to the quality of the pastries. My friend and I ordered a pistachio pastry and baklava, but both were overly sweet; the pistachio pastry barely tasted like pistachio. The banana pudding was moderately sweet, but it had such a thick and dense texture that it was difficult to finish even a third of it. That being said, I don't think this place is worth it unless you're only in need of a place with a nice atmosphere. read more

Mokafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

This place seemed overhyped. We hopped in on a rainy early Sunday afternoon and the place was packed. There are diner-style "booths" almost, where people can sit, but it's very limited. The line moved quickly when ordering and the staff was very young but friendly. They had a bunch of Dubai-chocolate "inspired" baked goods but we didn't try any of them. I actually just had a hot Biscoff latte that tasted absolutely like nothing. Zero Biscoff (cookie) flavor. My hubby had a bagel (Simit with sesame and cheese), but it came in a huge box, not sliced, not heated but with the cheese just on the side in a little container. It was so odd. He went back to ask them if they could toast it and spread the cheese - they brought it back just sliced; not toasted, no cheese on it. Not sure if the staff was just incompetent or just didn't care. Overall, overpriced and not a very good first experience. Maybe I'll give it another try next time but I'd stay away from any baked goods that are not sweet that would require the staff to put in a bit of extra effort in "preparing." 2 stars for the decor and for being dog friendly. read more

Mokafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

Located in the heart of Fort Lee, an amazing new cafe just opened last wk. Loved the open-door concept, it feels so welcoming and lets in a ton of natural light. Inside, the space is lovely and the sheer variety of croissants on display is amazing. I was initially a bit skeptical it might be another chain, but the coffee's bold and rich flavor proved me wrong. On top of that, the baristas are clearly skilled, crafting beautiful latte art! And they are incredibly pet-friendly which is a huge bonus read more

I stopped in to grab a matcha latte after visiting Sushi Kai up the road. When I walked in at 9:30pm on a Saturday night, there were no open seats. The inside is very modern with high ceilings and lots of booth seating against the wall. My matcha latte was pretty good but on the pricier side ($8). Desserts looked delicious, especially the Oreo brownie and baklava. read more

I almost fell off their green plush velvet cushions when I saw that the Dubai Pistachio Dream dessert was $15.60, yes you heard me loud and clear, it's $15.60. I am kinda of rich but not Fort Lee rich. The Coconut cake was $8.84. I was unfazed by this price because of the $15.60 one. We also got a huge slice of their pistachio baklava to bring home. They gave out generous sample cookie pieces on the counter. I ate my fair share to compensate for the prices I paid for these goodies. Their 3" thick cookies are sinful and delectable. I don't want to know how much butter they used. Not going to lie, the pastries and desserts here are absolutely fantastic. Not too sweet and the flavors came through. I am becoming a huge fan of Middle Eastern sweet treats. My friend and I got a Biscoff and French Toast Latte. Neither flavors came through. If you serve Biscoff latte you should incorporate it into the drink. So imo the coffee is meh. It's all about the desserts. Very limited seating but we were lucky to nab the last two seater in the back. read more

I def need to go back and try their coffee since they advertise that they are coffee house. It was late in the evening when I went so I didn't want to get a coffee because I value sleep, so my friend and I got cold matcha drinks - one blueberry and one honey strawberry. They were not good. Not even okay. My friend didn't even finish hers even after hours after our yap session. We also got an order of the pistachio rolls and it tasted like nothingness with some sugar. No pistachio taste. No texture. Just a pasty texture of sugar. We each took a bite and threw it out. But one thing good that we tried was the pistachio tres leches. It wasn't amazing but it had a bit more pistachio taste as advertised but not a strong pistachio taste. The cream on top was good! I know that tres leche is soaked cake and you should expect some sogginess but it was really soggy compared to a lot of other tres leches cakes that I've had that still had some kind of structure despite being soaked in milk. But I'm a sucker for tres leches cakes and pistachio, so I was still content with it. I do plan to give this place another chance because I've been to their Queens location and their desserts and coffee were good there. So, I definitely have to go back to try their coffee at this location and maybe a croissant, which looked good, too. So, if you do go, def don't get the matcha drinks if you are a matcha snob (in a good way because you know good quality matcha). If you just love anything matcha and are not picky, maybe you'll like it? And don't get the pistachio rolls. Unless someone can convince me otherwise. FYI: -They do offer free pup cups for your fur babies. -When you order, if you are dining in, they give you a number sign for your table and then they bring you your order. -There is one bathroom. -There is seating but not too many. When it's nice weather, at least you have the Fort Lee Common area to sit. -They close late on Fridays and Saturdays at 11:00pm, which is nice. read more

seems like there are two yelp pages for this cafe but this profile has a photo of the outside and inside that matches what I saw on my visit today. there are two sets of doors that open outwards into the park right next to it!! so you're inside but feels like you're sitting outside :) there are so many pastry options that look so good! we just stopped in because my partner wanted coffee. he got a spanish latte. i looked up the ingredients after the first sip because its that good, and now i'm writing this review from the park just outside so i dont forget this spot. i saw a lot of google reviews mentioning the other lattes so wanted to make sure this one got some love. def recommend the spanish latte!! read more

Not yet open as of this writing, but it sure looks nice! Located in a new building adjacent to Fort Lee Commons. I count 5 coffee shops, maybe more, within a 1 block radius! Looks to be open soon. Check it out when it is! read more

Love this new cafe. They are open pretty late and offers a very nice selection of baklava and tiramisus. The coffee/latte selection is also very delicious and plentiful without being too overwhelming. Service is also good enough! The inside vibes are green and the booths are pretty comfortable! Maybe perfect for a small group of 2-3. read more

New cafe in the heart of Fort Lee, next to Fort Lee Commons. They have many specialty drinks. I tried a pitashio coffee drink, it was good, but a little pricey. It is priced for the Fort Lee area. They had a variety of pastries and snacks available. Next time I go, I'll try some snacks. It just opened at the end of August, so they are still getting used to the routine. Service was served with a smile. It had a nice, open space feel, as all the windows open to the point, making it feel like a patio. Nice, clean restaurant; I recommend checking it out if you're in the Fort Lee area. read more

I am glad that they opened up a new branch here in Fort Lee and a bit nearer to my area. Anything with pistachio name it and they have it. Their tres leches and dubai chocolates are heaven! We usually walk in the nearby park/plaza and grab snacks/coffee after a short walk with my dog. The ambiance is clean and cute, the staffs were very welcoming to dogs and offered a free puppy cup which my furbaby enjoyed as well. read more

Cappuccino is good. Drip coffee is bland and watery. The ambiance is very good. People are very friendly.

I paid almost $25 at this place and they tried kicking me out after i was there for a while. If im a paying customer, i should be able to stay and enjoy as much as i want. these people do not have any hospitality. the food was so mediocre, which isnt surprising considering that this is an overhyped chain. read more

Really nice ambiance. Cute cafe. Food and coffee was excellent. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu

I have been here twice now, and the first time, I had a simit that was stale. This time, I had Dubai croissant which was lightly toasted and divine (despite being very messy to eat). Coffee was strong and good. The cafe is clean, great seating with outlets, WiFi, and a gender neutral bathroom. My only complaint is that the techno music is way too loud and makes the place feel like a club. If you want a quiet cafe to pop and do some reading or quiet work, this isn't it. read more

Absolutely delicious pastries and tea, refined atmosphere. A great place to people watch!
