Here's a more natural, human-sounding Google review (cleaned up, correct spelling, and grounded in…read morewhat's actually said about them online--strong coffee, pastries, and genuinely warm service ): Moka & Co. is hands down one of my favorite spots in Mesa right now. Everything about it just feels right -- the vibe, the people, and especially the food. You can tell they actually care. The staff is super welcoming and generous, not in a forced way, just genuinely good energy from the second you walk in. Food-wise, they don't miss. The honeycomb with cream cheese inside is insane -- sweet, rich, and something you don't really see anywhere else. The Dubai chocolate latte is a must-try too, super smooth and indulgent without being over the top. The beef samosas are perfectly crispy and packed with flavor, and the chocolate pistachio croissant is easily one of the best pastries I've had in a while. Honestly, every time I go I end up trying something new and it's always solid. You can tell they put real thought into everything they serve. Definitely one of those spots you keep coming back to.

It was newly renovated, had a nice seating area in the front, which is where we sat. The iced coffee is so good, with many selections of extras such as vanilla flavoring, oat, soy or coconut milk for those of us who cannot have dairy. The lady who took my order was super nice, friendly and helpful. Aside from the sidewalk outside, it is handicap accessible, if someone holds the door open for you to come in with your wheelchair. It wasn't loud and the place was nice and sunny. The coffee was just as delicious as I remembered from 3 years ago. We will definitely be returning for coffee because the ambiance, the coffee and the service were excellent.

I also want to give a shout out to Max and Sydney. They were incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming. I wasn't sure what toppings or dipping sauce were used in the photo I saw, but Sydney knew exactly what I was talking about right away and helped me order it. Thank you, Sydney! The café itself is pretty spacious, very clean, and wasn't too crowded when we visited, which made it a nice place to relax and enjoy our dessert. Overall, we had a great first experience and will definitely be coming back!

I wasn't really sure what to get so I ended up going with the Wife's Special Latte, which was around $7. It had an almond and white chocolate flavor to it. The latte was more on the almondy side, which I honestly prefer. It was about medium sweetness for a latte but overall not bad. They did have pastries as well as matcha items, which I would try the next time I am around here. The service was quick and friendly.

I'm glad they're on the permanent menu. It looks like they also have a rotating seasonal menu as well. Between the two, I would probably favor the berry cobbler with espresso.

The baristas were really nice and the drinks came out pretty quick!

Nice shop. Plenty of seating. Excellent coffee. Good M&M cookie…read more Running errands with my son yesterday, wanted to try this place. Got the M&M cookie - plenty of MM's and chewy, very good! Son had vanilla Late' said he liked it. I had cappuccino - excellent. An actual cappuccino. So often you order a cap and it ends up being a late w/ 12 ounce of milk. Coffee was bright/fruity. So great product. Three stars for service. Greeted by a guy with that indifferent boutique coffee shop attitude you experience in so many boutique shops. I don't need my hand kissed or the barista to bow down to me, but just act like its not effort to put a smile in your face. I am spending $20 + for a couple of coffees and cookies. There's a reason so many of the chains, and some smaller businesses, have gone to "Welcome in" and "what are you up to today." I appreciate what they're trying to do - they want to offer a friendly experience; but it actually bugs me, because it comes across as disingenuous. However, all you have to do is say "Hi - what can I get you" or something like that and make it sound like you mean it. I guess what I'm saying is, act like you like your job. The lady who served the coffee was great at the end. Maybe its just me. I'm a boomer and just can't figure out why so many of these coffee places have act like there's nothing to be happy about. Might have been an off day, so may try again - again, great product.
