    Meun -lots of good lattes and Italian cappuccino is good
    Angelina F.

    Great place for a coffee in brookfield after a walk from the farm market. Asked for a extra shot of espresso in my cappuccino and I taste it. The staff was friendly and the place was cute for Halloween playing coco music in the background.

    Hubby and I came to "Loca Moca Cafe," not because we were insane, but we were early for the nearby Brookfield Zoo opening. It's steps away from the BNSF Metra Brookfield stop. Most patrons are neighborhood residents. This place was quite busy for this Sunday morning for pre- post-church, dog-walking, and early-riser crowds. Coming from the city, I could tell this place wasn't one of those must-visit, or must-worship destination for a "coffee snob." It's just a down-to-earth local community coffee shop that serves good coffee. Their signature "Loco Moca latte" contained white chocolate and coconut. I could use some sweet add-ons in my coffee this morning to keep me energized in the zoo, so it worked for me. However, I was a fan of their blueberry and cinnamon chip scones. I don't personally have much connection to the Village of Brookfield, but hubby often requests the trip to the all-you-can-play arcade place on the opposite side of Brookfield Metra station. Hence, it stand a great chance that you may come back here.

    I had some time between appointments and thought that I'd find a spot with wifi to chillax and sip a beverage. Loca Moca Cafe seemed to fit the bill. Parking was easy across the street - even with copious amounts of snow. I came in, up a few steps, and into the cafe. It was cute and had an independent quality. I quickly determined that this was not a cookie cutter cafe and that my usual assumptions of standard beverages and WiFi might not be applicable here. The menu was pretty broad. There were chilled beverages in a refrigerated cooler, a few baked goods in the display case, and homemade greeting cards on the counter. I intentionally ordered many items to inflate my bill because I needed to pay with plastic. I didn't know if there was a minimum charge requirement for plastic or not but I got my bill to just over $10. I got a bottled water, chai, and green tea smoothie. The chai and green tea smoothie tasted as if they were made from powdered mixes. They were each made with such speed to lead me to that conclusion also. They were okay but I've definitely enjoyed tastier cafe beverages. I set up camp at a small table along the wall and turned on my computer. There weren't any unsecured networks nor did any network have a name applicable to Loca Moca Cafe Inc. Several minutes later I asked the owner if there was WiFi and she handed me a laminated card with the necessary information to get online. I don't know why she didn't suggest that to begin with when she saw me using my computer. I suppose that I'd return to Loca Moca Cafe Inc if I was in the neighborhood and had time to kill but I wouldn't make a special trip.

    I absolutely love supporting local business! Especially cute little coffee shops like Loca Moca Cafe. I stopped in here in between meetings to get some work done. Decided to order the Loca Moca Latte for my afternoon pick-me-up. It wasn't anything too fancy, but definitely delish! Plus it got the job done. I was perked up and able to work onward. There was one other couple in the cafe while I was there. This was nice because it was quiet and easy to focus on my work. However, a little ambience music would have been appreciated so it wasn't so silent. The girl behind the counter was super nice and very helpful. Loca Moca is in a great location too! Right outside the train. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area :)

    This place is great for getting a yummy little something to keep you warm on your train-ride. Also, the name is adorable. The interior is cozy and hip and they sell cute little things like cards and home-made goodies from the community. I like that a lot. I will say, however, if you're in a hurry, this is not the best place to go. There's only one worker (or at least while I was there) and she works kind of slowly. The drinks were also not the most delicious things I've ever had by a long shot. I got the mint latte, and my boyfriend got the candy bar latte. They were yummy and definitely kept us comfy on the train. They were a teensy bit overpriced though. Overall, I love Starbucks and Caribou, but I am always proud and happy to support a non-chain business at any chance I can get. Keep it up Locha Mocha! You guys are great! : )

    Matcha Latte with Almond milk

    This cafe is not closed! Loca Mocha Cafe has relocated across the street from its original destination, it is now located at the Brookfield Metra Train Stop. I really enjoy this cute little spot, before it was a little bit bigger than a whole in the wall now it's in a spacious train stop. The ambiance is great, plenty of seating, don't know about the WiFi though. Today I ordered a Matcha Latte with almond milk substitute. The cup was VERY HOT even with the cardboard sleeve on it & I also had to wait like 15 minutes for it to cool off, even then I still burned my tongue! It was good, I had the drink last winter with a different milk substitute, I think it was soy milk, and it tasted better. Nonetheless, my service was great and everyone around me had a cup of coffee and a smile. Thanks!

    I like that this place is family owned...but I was a bit underwhelmed. I got the mocha and it was average...nothing special. The room is very large with just a few tables...it is a bit odd. Although the wifi worked great I don't know that this is a great place sit and work...it's not a very cosy coffee shop...more like a place to stop for a cup of coffee on the go.

    Weird hours, and not a very good "scene" but it's the only independent option in the area. Very good location though!

It was missing the cream shown on the menu, and I know how it should look since I've ordered before. I understand they may have run out since it was late (around 8:45pm), but it's disappointing that no one informed us. They could've at least explained it to the person picking up the order instead of saying nothing. I ended up paying full price for an incomplete product. -also, at least at the NorthRiver Side location, the sugar level option doesn't seem to be respected. Whether you ask for 25% or 50%, the drinks always taste like 100%. If that can't be controlled, it shouldn't be listed as an option. -as a frequent customer, I used to earn points and redeem them for a free boba, a couples weeks ago I was told that option was no longer available. I really like the drinks here, but overall there needs to be better communication and more transparency with customers.

I like how there are pieces of fresh peach in there. My family members are fans of the mango slush drink. Usually, you order everything at the kiosks, and then they will call out your name. There are a few food options like mini pancakes. Side note: If you spend a certain amount at the nail salon next door (Future Nails) you get a complimentary drink from The Wolf.

We started the process by going to their local headquarters and sampling the different styles. Sam and Kelly were very knowledgeable about all the products and made great recommendations. They provided us with a deluxe coffee bean grinder, a two-station coffee maker, and a two-station espresso machine. We have been open for almost a year now and we have never had any problems with their equipment or coffee products. They do have an emergency technician on call to stop by immediately if we ever have any issues. Lastly and most importantly, our customers absolutely love their coffee and it's one of the reasons why we've been able to be so successful in such a competitive market. Coffee is everything in our business and we made sure we picked the best around. It's always a pleasure dealing with Sam and Kelly from Philosophy Coffee. They often stop by our restaurant just to say hello and check on things. They don't just sell you a product and disappear, they are always proactive and really do things right away.
