Mokafe - Pastries - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I had passed Mokafe coffee house multiple times and after having had dinner, I wanted a little dessert so I stopped in. It is a long space with minimal seating up front as you walk in and then banquettes off to one side with tables. Opposite this are the counters displaying the goods for sale. They have a wide variety of things to consider, croissants, puddings, fudge and of course tea and coffee. I had already eaten so I only wanted a little something, a dessert so I opted for a chocolate croissant and a cup of coffee. The croissant was more circular than long but was flaky and tasty nonetheless. One thing about this cafe is that it is open late, after most of the businesses in the area have closed. It is pricey and my snack was more than $10. However, in eating at similar places in the area, it seems to be the going rate,. Eating out has gotten very expensive. There also appears to be an upstairs area for seating but I did not explore this option. The dubai chocolate cookie seems to be what people are ordering-the next time I go I will try this! read more

First stop on our trip to NY. My sister and I love flavored lattes and had to try this one. It was very strong with the honey flavor and tasted fresh. The menu selection was so impressive. The perfect stop for working locals and tourists alike. Wasn't as crowded as other shops in the city but still had a clean and calm ambiance. read more

I'm like 95% sure this is the cafe I parked myself at yesterday while I was running errands and dodging my ex boyfriend. The two absolute sweetest girls helped me out yesterday, pointing out the absolute oasis for introverts that is their basement (I think my only gripe is there's no bathrooms down there but you can't really do a whole lot about that) along with their cafe wifi and super clean bathrooms (Again, weird things to point out but I've walked into restaurant bathrooms on 42nd and cried because of how nasty they were, so this is huge for me imho). Their croissants are so well made but they're unbelievably decadent. I'm still kinda kicking myself that I didn't get a plain or chocolate croissant like the barista mentioned but the actual pastry is so unbelievably buttery and flaky you'd think it was a bad first date in 2020. 10/10, would camp out again, and probably get something more normal next time. Thanks, Maria and friends! I appreciate y'all read more

Smooth coffee but interesting i saw it as a Yemen coffee house but unlike the several I've gone to this is more of a dessert place and their default is Guatemalan coffee. Ambiance kinda hip for Times Square area. Velvety chairs and marble-like tables. Cashier was knowledgeable enough? But no idea what sana'ani was. Or rad'ai. Would I go back? If a friend in town was in area and we wanted to grab late night coffee ?! I heard about this place from an IG post. read more

I scalded my hand with the hot tea, yet he said nothing--aside from pouring a little of it out--even though I had paid full price.

Walking in, i was astonished by the ambiance of this cafe. It is pretty big for NYC, & i love the decor & the amount of seating available. They were fully staffed and I felt like the service was amazing. I got the veggie croissant and they added turkey for me. It was so crispy and flavorful. The dream cake was also such a good sweet treat. I love the crunch and layers to it. read more

Dylan had amazing service and was quick on his feet and mad nice 100% recommendations coming here

Everything was sweet and way too expensive! I dont care if it's a 7$ cookies but it must be worth the money! I wouldnt trade Levaine cookies for their hard cookies. Khana brownies in pic, too sweet for my already sweet tooth!!! read more

Beautiful shop and amazing pastries. Staff was friendly and fast. Highly recommended for a quick sit down coffee and pastry. read more

Last week I got delivery from here, as it is so hyped I thought I would try it.. But the croissant was one of the absolute worst in New York; the outside was OK, but the inside was a lump of barely cooked dough. So I decided that French pastry was not their strong point. So tonight, I decided to get their Yemen coffee delivered. I love coffee, and I especially love African and Arabian-grown coffee. I have no idea what their Yemen coffee is supposed to taste like, but this cup of coffee was one of the worst, very watery, and the flavor was very weak and mild. They have the nerve to charge $6.08 for one of the worst cups of coffee in New York. Another overhyped and overpromoted new and undeserving spot. Not even as good as typical service station swill. Watery and weak. Yuck! I imagine that the folks leaving rave reviews for this swill love overpaying for weak and watery nothing coffee. Just another place that shouldn't exist and needs to be avoided. Earlier in the day I had a great cup of coffee from a Greek bakery in Astoria; at least there are a few places to get strong and rich traditional coffee left in New York. But Mokafe is NOT one of them. read more

I tried a hot Spanish latte which was overwhelmingly sweet and had little coffee flavor. This location is spacious and has good wifi for working but the drink truly wasn't worth it. Next time, I would get a simple latte or just a small bite. read more

Met up with a few friends here. There is a lot of seating space and the area was pretty clean. I only had a mint tea but my friends said their drinks were good. We also grabbed a few of their cookies, some of which they heated up. Highlights were their pistachio knafeh cookies which had oozing warm chocolate inside, ube cookie that had some sort of marshmallow-like filling, and the lavender raspberry lemon cookie. Their other desserts looked good as well but we didn't try those. Overall a good place to sit and have a small bite to eat/drink around time square. read more

Mokafe was worth stopping by. A cup of cappuccino and a pesto mozzarella warmed up! Plenty of seating options, dont be fooled by the look of it. They have seating up and downstairs. I cant wait to come back here read more

The food is good but way too expensive and the service is atrocious. The girl who makes the drinks is a raging bitch, makes the orders wrong, doesn't make the orders at all or just berates you for asking why it's taken so long. On top of that she has no sanitation! This was the last straw and I had to actually walk out after watching her cough sneeze and pick her nose without washing her hands and then continue making drinks. DISGUSTING. Truly a shame since the food and drink have potential but it's not worth the drama 40 minute wait and germs being spread read more

The cashiers are very nice and helpful, the prices are also great for the quantity and they have a lot of Dubai chocolate pastries and baked goods. My friend got the Dubai chocolate cake and she rates it a 10/10 and I got the Belgian chocolate shooter and I rate it a 10.5/10. read more

MoKafe on 687 8th Street is an absolute gem! The vibe is cozy and welcoming, with three floors offering plenty of space to relax and enjoy. We brought a group of about 40 people on a Friday night and had an amazing time - there was plenty of room, and the atmosphere was perfect. We tried a variety of treats, including the Biscoff Latte, Pistachio Croissant, Nutella Shooter, and Chocolate Chip Sea Salt cookie, and each one was delicious! The Biscoff Latte was a unique and comforting treat, and the Pistachio Croissant was flaky and full of flavor. The Nutella Shooter was the perfect indulgence, and the cookie was an irresistible sweet-and-salty combination. The best part? The variety of desserts and drink options. There's something for everyone here, and every item we tried exceeded expectations. The location is also fantastic - right in the heart of the neighborhood. Highly recommend MoKafe for a casual hangout, group meet-up, or a solo treat. Can't wait to return! read more

Amazing drip coffee and relaxing atmosphere amongst the hustle and bustle of Times Square. My daughter and I chilled here before our show.

The knafa croissant was super good! I would come back just to get it. There is lots of seating and it is very clean. There is three stories, so it is definitely a good place to do work. The service is also super friendly. read more

I visited Mokafe and tried their Dubai chocolate, and it was very nice! The flavor was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced, offering a luxurious chocolate experience, although it was so sweet I could only have a couple bites. The ambiance of the cafe made the indulgence even more special. Even though it's not trending anymore, the Dubai chocolate is still really good! read more

I asked for no flakes at all on my dubai strawberries flakes at all what did I get a cup full of flakes with no pistachio sauce? I sent it back. Told him to remove the flakes and add the pistachio sauce after I got it he took none of the flakes off and drenched it in pistachio sauce that I couldn't even see any strawberries. or chocolate terrible experience the order taker needs to be better at listening read more

I come here often, live down the block and absolutely love their pistachio matcha. It's now been multiples times they gave me coffee instead of matcha, don't apologize for giving the wrong drink, or take more than 40 minutes to get their drink out for me. No solution either- just ended up paying for a drink I didn't order multiple times. The staff was super rude and dismissive on the few occasions this happened. Frustrating when you spend $10-15 on one drink and don't get decent customer service. read more

Got a nutella croissant, with a smear of nutella on top of it but no actual filling?! Chai adeni was good, nice sized cookies. Cool setting!

I had a great time talking to one of workers, Abraham, who was kind enough to bring a free, amazingly moist tres leches cake upstairs for me. He even sat with me and We had great conversations . The space was very air-conditioned and spacious, perfect for students or curious roamers. read more

After having been disappointed at multiple other coffee shops, I ventured to Mokafe a little hesitantly. I have tried both the hot and iced pistachio lattes here and both are great! I'd say the hot is more cohesive as the pistachio cream dissolves fully. There's more chunks of pistachio floating in the iced version. So so good regardless. read more

Great new coffee place near my office. Glad there's another option in the area for coffee. Their coffee is very good, as are some of their desserts. So far, my favorite is the Yemeni honeycomb bread. They opened last month, so they're still growing their sea legs sort of speak. The staff is friendly and the ambiance is pretty cool. Love the green interior! read more

Amazing coffee house. The pastries were delicious. I love the smashed dipped icing pistachio croissant. It was new and different. The pastry counter was full of beautiful pastries and desserts, I wish I could have tried them all. I also had a coffee. There were not many people there when we arrived, but then started to get busier. The checkout was easy, it was clean and modern. The employees were terrific, since no one was there we spoke to Ryan, the barrister-Great personality, lucky to have a person to have in your business. I hope you can open more stores. read more
