Ordered delivery today. I ordered the latte with oat milk and sugar free vanilla, Americano, the mobears, and French toast. Wow. Pleasantly surprised! The French toast is 10/10. Delicious!! The coffee is also really good. We've liked others more but it's good. Love the cute wood stoppers! We will be ordering from mokafe again!! Fast delivery. read more

I love this location because it has a full lunch menu. The food is soooo good and it's so pretty in there for a wfh day/brunch. I came for my birthday and got the cutest biscoff tres leches (pictured). No shame that I finished the whole thing and keep coming back for more. I always get the strawberry mint refresher! Everything that I've tried has been really good: the sunny side egg burger, m tenders & fries, Caesar salad, and those yummy deserts/pastries. read more

Ever heard of a cafe where your food comes out 10 mins before your coffee? And when it does, all they say is "service"? Well, if not, this is the place for you! Not to say that the food is bad (it's mediocre at best but this cafe is the closest to me so I just munch on it) but the fact that the staff here doesn't understand common serving etiquettes is upsetting... bring the coffee out first before the food. Also, how are you guys slower at making coffee than the kitchen? I'm pretty sure there were 3-4 staff members at the front and only one in the kitchen. Please do better... read more

What I can really appreciate here is a fine urban coffee house with a well structured, interesting food menu... Chicken and waffles my kind sir. However, the mandatory 18% gratuity on every check (regardless of party size) under the guise of "providing a living wage" leaves a bad before and after taste. I usually leave 20%+ but how is paying a living wage at YOUR establishment MY responsibility. Charge appropriately for the food and service which will alleviate the need to nickel and dime customers for below the line costs. Today, it's the gratuity, tomorrow its health care and 401(k) matching. I understand restaurant economics are brutal (or so they say) but I'm simply not going to be your silent partner as you limbo under the $3 an hour staffing bar and pick my pockets for your fair share. Like I said, great Chicken & Waffles. read more

The food here was so delicious! I really enjoyed their take on the chicken and waffles. The vibe here was so sleek, clean and earthy - which was great for my friend's birthday brunch. I was slightly disappointed with the service. If not mistaken, I believe our waiter wasn't too enthusiastic and he left without letting us know and we were assigned another waiter. It's a slight knit pick, but otherwise - I LOVED IT HERE ALSO IM OBSESSED WITH THE TRUFFLE MAC read more

I absolutely love coming to Mokafe! The decor, the space, the service! All of it is fantastic. Not to mention the coffee and food too! I've enjoyed the food and coffee anytime I've come to visit & always look forward to bringing friends here with me too! Only annoying thing to deal with is parking but honestly can overlook that for everything else they offer! Definitely recommend this spot! read more

This place was awful. Hostess was awful. Service was slow, sporadic, never back and was awful. Food was ok, wasn't worth the wait and the coffee was awful. Almost fell on my butt leaving because it was slippery and the stairs were awful. Spending $50 on brunch for a on star spot was awful. Honestly, Mokafe the entire experience was awful. read more

5/5 Everything was delicious and well seasoned. Service was excellent and the restaurant had great ambience. My daughter is a very picky eater and she loves the eggs and fries. I saw a couple bad reviews which I have no idea how they got those. Don't listen to the bad reviews and check them out!! One of my favourite brunch experiences. Must order: the burrata salad, Dubai croissant, fries, turkey bacon We got some extra pastries to go to try as well. read more

5 stars for their knafa croissant, pistachio latte, chai tea latte and their kinder chocolate latte. We came here for to dine in at their cafe area. There's another area by the olive trees if you are here to dine in and have a meal. Their pistachio latte and knafa croissant-- I would drive back here for! My sons like their kinder latte and chai tea latte. The pistachio latte is served with pistachio paste which lends a distinctive nutty depth to the drink. Espresso to milk ratio was just right and the drink was still rich with oatmilk. Their knafa croissant is layered with just the right amount of knafa and covered with milk chocolate. There are other items in the pastry counter that looked really good and I'd come back for those to try. The interior is beautiful-- huge but still inviting with its green and brass aesthetic. Our server was friendly. But what made the visit unpleasant was the *WAIT* for our drinks. 35 minutes from ordering to have them placed at our table! 35 whole minutes-- I know because we did metered parking and I was counting our minutes left on the meter. I asked our server twice and he apologized. There were 3 people behind the counter, and 6 tables being served-- 4 with their food already. I can't fathom why it would take that long to make 3 drinks with at least one dedicated barista. As you can see from the photos it was not a busy time at all and the place was almost empty on a weekday afternoon. I'm hoping this is just first week jitters as they just had their grand opening this past weekend. Hopefully this changes, as it definitely affected our experience. I am not taking a star off from today though, would like to give Mokafe to find their footing as the days pass. Street and metered parking. Clean, pretty, and spacious interior. read more

This place has been on my radar for the longest and go to finally go. The service was good, nothing extra. The menu is pretty straightforward. The lattes was good I tried the pistachio and as main entry I tried the Dubai chocolate French toast. If you are coming in for the Dubai chocolate anything make sure to share it with your eating partner it's a lot. It can be overwhelming if you don't have a sweet tooth. Overall the ambience was good very photo ready for your insta. read more

Loved everything what we ordered from crepes to waffle.. amazing presentation.. server was great!

A++++ If I could give them 10 stars, I would. We went today with my family, including my 1 1/2 yo niece and 4 month old son. Dima, the host, was incredible!!! My niece was having a bit of a meltdown and Dima took her and instantly made her feel better. Thank you, Dima!!! Your kindness meant so much. Jacob, our waiter was wonderful! And the food was to die fore -- get the feta croissant and the pistachio latte. We loved everything about this coffee house/restaurant!!! read more

I absolutely loved M by Mokafe. There was a little bit of a wait when we arrived, however the host walked us over to a bench where we could wait which made the time go a lot faster for a busy Saturday morning. Within 20 minutes we were seated. The food was great but the drinks were out of this world. So many choices it was nearly impossible to make a choice. The vibe of the entire place is so aesthetically pleasing. I can't wait to come back ! read more

This place was such a gem! I was looking for a place with good ambiance to do some work, grab a coffee & food, and take a few work calls. The service was so great and food and coffee were delicious! Would definitely recommend and come back to this place. read more

Mokafe Coffee House - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

The vibes here are nice and cozy. It would be a great spot for studying. I'm primarily reviewing their Dubai Chocolate bar- the chocolate was on the slightly smaller side but it was the cheapest that I've found ever since it went viral. At the time we got it for $10/each but it looks like the price went up to $12/each. It's tasty and makes a nice gift- we got it to go. read more

This was the perfect cafe for a Saturday brunch / date in Jersey city. Everything from the lighting to the interior design, the cleanliness, and the music was so fun and inviting! The service was great even amidst being busy. We loved the chicken slider appetizer (10/10!!), it was the star of the show! The iced coffee flight (8/10) would be perfect for coffee lovers (I am truly a matcha girly these days) but wanted to try something new and the pistachio and caramel iced coffees did not disappoint. Everything was fresh and flavorful, pricing was standard for brunch. I will definitely be back! read more

The flat pistachio croissant and baklava were delicious. It paired nicely with our coffee. Everything was not too sweet. Booths are comfy and have a beautiful view. read more

We went here on a Sunday afternoon. A little after 2 pm and it was packed! As you enter you are greeted by the smell of fresh baked pastries. The restaurant vibe was very chill but whoever did the interior did a great design. I was in awe of it the whole time we were having our dessert. So we ordered the lotus flat croissant, the dubai croissant and the coffee flight. I will have to say it was kind of pricy for me but the taste justifies the price point. Overall we really enjoyed the food and will try to go back for actual brunch one day. read more

Came here about six weeks ago for brunch and had a wonderful time with wide selection of items. But came back today. Menu has been paired way back from how it was. They also have gotten rid of table service. You have to order from counter. Which is fine. But prices still reflect a place with table service. There are better places for brunch in Jersey City. read more

Coffee was strong, so good. Sandwich was flavorful, crunchy and delicious. Fries were crisp and fresh! read more

came here with my friends for lunch parking is HORRENDOUS to find, only street parking available and since it's next to the highway and there's a lot of one ways it can be very difficult the space itself is beautiful and i love how it integrates both restaurant and cafe in the same area. the staff is sweet but unfortunately they are SUPER slow my friend apparently was not greeted or given the menu when she arrived and sat there for THIRTY minutes before she was seen. i see other reviews and it seems like this a recurring problem the food itself is okay, i got the chicken and waffles. they do have a brunch and dinner menu so i don't mind coming back to try other items out; however the price point is on the pricier side AND they include an MANDATORY 18% tip which is think is absolutely crazy. if you can't pay your staff just say it but don't make me pay ABOVE average tip for slow / below par service. that rubbed me the wrong way overall, for what it's worth, i don't recommend coming here but if you live around the area & don't have a car and dont mind the wait and paying extra tip because you're ~generous~ then it won't hurt to try it out read more

My experience was so amazing. The food was great! Our server Jacob was so attentive and checked on us often which I greatly appreciated. Will definitely come again. The lavender lemonade is a MUST! read more

Great food, lovely spot and Jacob took great care of us. Will definitely go back soon.

Coffee was decent but extremely overpriced. Was charged $1 extra for each drink bc it was a "16oz" i never even asked for a 16oz and it was most definitely not a 16oz when it arrived. The 18% automatic gratuity is absolutely shameful for a coffee shop. As a barista I was appalled to see the price for the mediocre service. It's like they're trying to rush you out of there. Don't waste your time and money read more

Cute little coffee/ food spot under my building. I love going here to grab a quick coffee or get some work done. They are kind enough to share the Wi-Fi connection and the food and lattes are yummy! They even offered my dog a pup cup when he came with me haha. Highly recommend ! read more

Really cozy but luxurious cafe setting to grab a bite to eat with friends. The brown sugar latte is great, and the Knafa Croissant was delicious. Also shoutout to our server Jacob, he was very friendly and attentive and brought our dishes out very quickly. read more
