I came here for a coffee and a bagel before an evening hike at East Rock Park, and I was happy I came! I had the cardamon and date latte, plus a bagel with labneh, which were both great! I also personally thought it was super cute how there is a tiny prayer room in one corner of the shop. The only suggestion I have is that I personally think the bathroom could look a lot more interesting with some decor and maybe even a little wall mural like in the main room. Other than that, everything was near perfect to me!
We came here for coffee and this place did not disappoint. We got the Americano and while it was dark, the bitterness didn't linger. Staff were friendly and efficient. Nice spacious cafe with lots of students using the space to study.
The coffee is so good. The Resturaunt is clean and spacious. Tons of seating. The baristas are fast and nice. Will absolutely stop in here again.
MOTW Coffee & Pastries is located in New Haven, with additional, but limited locations across the country. Muslims of the World is a beautiful cafe, with a wide variety of tasty specialty coffees and pastries. The inside is ethnically decorated, while they also have some soft Middle Eastern music playing in the background. This cafe also features a prayer rug, behind a private wall, this is a nice touch for certain believers, and I'm sure is appreciated by many. We got coffees and an assortment of sweet treats. I got the Creme Brew Latte. This is one of the best lattes I've had all season. It is lightly vanilla flavored, but ultra creamy and plush. I genuinely enjoyed each sip. We got a Date Cookie, Dubai Chocolate and a Tiramisu Tres Leches. The Date Cookie was soft, with date in the center and crushed pistachios on the outside. This was rich and delectable. The Dubai Chocolate wasn't a favorite, it had a strange crunchy texture and was very sweet. The Tiramisu Tres Leche was exactly what it sounds like. That super, super fluffy, creamy, dreamy Tres Leche that's combined with coffee and chocolate! This is addictively good! We had a great first experience at MOTW, I cannot wait to return!
The honeycomb bread omg so warm and scrumptious. Perfect sweetness from the soft bread, honey, and whatever else was happening on the inside. Delish treat to split with my cafe date. Also tried the yemeni chai and it was smooth and decadent. It's made with evaporated milk and I loved the option for a small size. Chicken empanada was a good train snack but overall eh in terms of spice and flavor. Def a nice savory filler though.
Great spot for coffee and pastries! I stopped in and immediately loved how modern and expansive the space was - a perfect spot to take a break or get some work done. As soon as I saw their homemade $7 Dubai Chocolate heart I knew I had to try it. I've heard that the viral chocolate bar can cost you around $20, so I was excited to try a lower cost option. I also ordered a Pistachio iced latte. The latte was made using a store bought syrup and was good - not overly sweet. The Dubai chocolate heart was delicious - I totally get why the dessert has blown up! Highly recommend Motw, which is a franchise and has multiple locations across the US.
I visited MOTW Coffee for the first time today. I just ordered a black iced coffee. The flavor was above average, but there wasn't enough ice. I was only there long enough to get my coffee, but I noted many of the tables were occupied. It seemed darker inside than many coffee shops. Perhaps that was because the high ceilings and exposed pipes etc. had all been painted black. Service was efficient. 4 Stars
Stopped in for a quick coffee and bit to eat on my way to work. Coffee was well made and good, breakfast empanada was filling.
This was my first time visiting MOTW, and I had a great experience. Clarisa provided excellent service -- super friendly and attentive. One thing that really stood out to me was the calm and relaxing vibe of the place. The coffee was high quality, and when it comes to the food... wow! The chicken and spinach empanadas were absolutely delicious and very well made. I highly recommend this place, especially if you're looking for a halal spot. Great job, MOTW!
MOTW stands for Muslims of the World and was created on Instagram by Sajjad Shah. This page highlighted and brought together the Muslim community. A coffee shop was created from that. There are currently 7 locations. My family and I stopped in for coffee. The place was packed with a cozy and trendy vibe. The service was good. I decided to get one of their seasonal lattes and it was good! Overall, a nice cafe!
What a cute coffee shop! I completely missed this place because I was looking for the sign, MOTW and not Coffee and Pastries. It's quite close to Yale so there are plenty of students in the shop. They have ample board games to keep anyone occupied as well. I came on a Monday, which was also a holiday. Pretty much an extension to the weekend so it was quite busy. The customers are all friendly. Someone was kind enough to move their belongings so that my daughter and I could both sit at the counter. I was trying a refresher flavor that I never had before. It turned out that it wasn't all to my liking. It wasn't terrible, only that it wasn't my preference. It's pretty though. The empanada was warmed up for me and I enjoyed the every bit of it. If I wasn't pressed for time I would have taken another to go.
I came here with my sister to catch up after picking her up from the train station. I had bookmarked this place since I kept seeing it pop up on my feed. It has such a cozy vibe, making it perfect for catching up or getting some work done. There are a few tables and countertops available, plus plenty of outlets to charge your devices. I tried the biscoff ice latte, and it was delicious definitely tasted like a biscoff! I also enjoyed a chocolate croissant alongside it. My sister ordered a latte and refresher, along with some tasty treats. She absolutely loved the famous Dubai chocolate, saying it was crunchy and smooth. I can see why the hype is real and totally worth it! I can definitely picture myself coming here on weekends whenever I'm nearby.

I came here on a Saturday morning and got the graham slam latte($8) with almond milk(+$1) and it was made in about 10 mins. The interior was nice, lots of seating with medium noise. The drink was super delicious with a good amount of sweet and chocolate taste. The Cold foam was amazing!! And the highlight of it was the coffee itself, it was a Turkish style coffee that tasted different from most traditional shops. It was really smooth while also being a solid caffeine source! Overall a great cafe that I'd easily comeback to! Drink(50%): 9.3 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 7.0 Overall: 8.2/10 read more

Stopped by this cafe on a Saturday afternoon and enjoyed sitting down in the air conditioning to enjoy a chicken samosa and a refresher. It's quite spacious inside with lots of tables and a nice selection of food and beverages. The employees were very nice and gave me recommendations on which samosas they liked. It also didn't take too long to prepare in case you're in a rush. I'd come back if I'm in the area again! read more

Loved this coffee shop. I love the vision and purpose and loved the energy. As I walked in I was greeted from behind the counter. I mentioned it was my first time and was welcomed. A sincere smile and welcome. My latte and samosa were both delicious. I look forward to my next visit. I hope to see more of MOTW's spring up in nearby cities. read more
Beautiful spacious cafe, lots of sitting spots available. We saw many students hanging out at the cafe for group study and personal work. Their bakery items are excellent, tried the chocolate muffin that was fluffy and super tasty. Their drinks are well made too. The aroma of the traditional chai floats around the whole floor. Items are decently priced. Very friendly service from baristas. For big orders, they even bring the items to the table. read more

We got a Spanish latte, French toast muffin, and a cheese asiago bagel with basic schmear. The coffee tasted off to me, but I'm unsure if their interpretation of a Spanish latte is different from the west coast, or there's a noticeable difference in the beans used, pending the state/coast. I didn't really enjoy or adjust the difference, but it was nice to have a Spanish latte. The muffin was good, but the sugar crystals on top felt like overkill and were annoying to have to chew every bite. Service was solid, given many, many families were flooding in pre-graduation ceremony. Cute interior, re: photo of the coffee. read more

Finally got around to trying MOTW - Muslims of the world. Came in and tried their Yemeni chai and chai with biscoff. Both absolutely delicious and an authentic cup of chai. Would definitely be back. Service is friendly and helpful when deciding on what to get. Street parking is available but can be tricky on busier days. There is WiFi and good amount of seating. However outlets are only accessible to 3 short tables and along the bar stool tables. read more

I was trying to decide between ice cream and coffee but remembered the great reviews for this place! I loved the inside decor, it was bright, minimalistic and modern, so I was instantly sold. The baristas are super friendly and knowledgeable, which is always a plus. I got the caramel avalanche special, and as someone who loves a sweet coffee, I could not get enough. Their specials menu is definitely worth checking out. The cotton candy cloud was so cute with the blue raspberry foam. They had plenty of outlets and the playlist was instrumental covers of popular songs so it's definitely an ideal place to get work done. Looking forward to to my next visit and grabbing a snack out of their case! read more

We were staying at the hotel up the block, our hotel offers coffee but I felt like being a snob and get a latte instead of drip. Nice looking place as we walked in, nice and chill and nice decor. Wasn't too busy as we came so we were able to find a place to sit and have a little breakfast. We got a few things to try that included, vanilla latte(you get a choice of different milks), iced chai, honeycomb bread and some pistachio pastries. All were good, chai was especially good! I liked the honeycomb bread a lot, not sure what is in it, but it looked like it had cheese inside with a honey drizzle on top, whatever it is, it was good! Prices are a little higher side, barista gal was nice and quick to whip up your order. I'm a mellow dude, so the mellow morning vibes at this cafe was in my wheelhouse. Overall, good morning stop and would come back. read more
Lots of power outlets, it's a good place to study! Free WiFi, nice and air conditioned. It was a great study spot. They also have a photo op wall??? They know how to capture the gen z soul (at least I think so? I'm a millennial and so what do I know?) My cashier was sweet and pleasant. BUT lemme tell you about my pistachio cake. Oh my god. Just like a tres leches cake, it was soaked in some form of milk, the cream on top was decadent but not too sweet or heavy. Perfect with a black iced coffee. I have been craving pistachio cake for about four months, and got my cravings fulfilled in New Haven when I visited Yale for a fellowship. Worth the trip from California (well, if you re in the area, it's worth walking to. Flight prices are unreasonable, so don't fly from ca just to try the cake. I will not take responsibility for anyone's bankruptcy) Thanks for true great cake! read more

#10 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES A new coffee shop is in town!! If you're looking for specialty coffees and Arabic pastries, this is the spot for you! It looks like this company is slowly expanding from Indianapolis to the New England area! They have a plethora of delicious pastries and super yummy drinks. It is also a great spot to study or do work. They have outlets, plenty of tables, and a communal table for studying. I got the date cardamom latte and I was pleasantly surprised. It was not too sweet and the espresso was delicious. Their drinks and pastries are a little on the pricer side though which is why I'm not giving it a 5 star. I would definitely come here again, not my favorite coffee shop in the area but a good new one when I want to switch things up. Note: street parking only read more
Amazing service, food, drinks, and atmosphere. The empanadas are to die for, especially the spinach/feta and beef. I got a coconut vanilla latte and it was heavenly. I love the mission of this coffee shop, I wish it was closer to my hometown. Definitely the best spot we tried on our seven day journey across the country. read more
High-end specialty lattes and Middle Eastern pastries. We tried the date cardamom latte ($6.05 medium) and burma pastry ($4.75). The latte was intriguing, like a sweet chai but with coffee undertones and less spicy. The most popular pastry seemed to be the "honeycomb", a big slice of pastry studded with honey and... cheese? They also have a wide variety of muffins, from a contracted bakery. The interior is spacious with around ten tables and colorful murals adorning the walls. The guys running the counter were friendly and composed in a totally chaotic opening morning. read more
One of my new favorite hangout spots! I've come here twice so far since they're open late for Ramadan. It's been packed (as expected after Iftar), but I've been able to find a table both times. The interior feels very modern and clean, yet the energy feels homey and comfortable. The pastries are delicious. They serve the best baklava I've had, as it's not too sweet. I also tried the lemon muffin, and it was fluffy and light with the perfect flavor. On my first visit, I tried an iced chai. It tasted just like Fruity Pebbles. On my second visit, I got the Biscoff iced latte. I wished the Biscoff flavor was stronger, but other than that I had no complaints. There are a few games like Jenga available, but this is a great place to bring your own and have fun with friends. read more
Great food and great drinks! I was super impressed by the drinks here they reminded me of some I have tried in New York and Virginia. I loved the variety too of lattes and flavor combinations and they also have traditional chai! Their desserts also looked super good. I tried the honeycomb dessert and I was obsessed! The ambiance is super nice I love the decor and a coffee shop that does good for Muslims. I also appreciate the service it was a hectic grand opening for them but they did everything so well. And quick ! I will be back read more

This is one of my favorite places for coffee in New Haven. I always get the Spanish latte which is delicious with a cinnamon flavor. I also got the banana nut muffin which was quite good and large. The space is also very nice and quiet for working. The WiFi speed was 40 mbps up and 300 down. Really like this place and there specialty lattes! read more
