“ Delicious food people would love to come back for more with good service and with family and friends Even delivery to enjoy at home to ”
“ What a beautifully modern cafe! I was mesmerized by all the delicious looking desserts in the window but I came here after stuffing my face for dinner down the block so I was really only looking for a nice warm drink. We ordered the adeni latte and the ube latte. The adeni latte had a rich and deep flavor, as well as a sweetness creaminess from the foam on top. I was a little bit disappointed in the ube latte but that could be because I ordered something less traditional. The ube flavor was a bit lacking and not a sweet as I would've hoped, but they did have simple syrup on tap so that was awesome. I was able to adjust the flavor to my liking ended up much better afterwards. I'd definitely be interested in trying some of the sweets or pastries they have the next time I stop by. I also noticed some other tables with some teapots of various teas so I would love to try that as well. ”
“ The biscoff latte is a game changer! Also got a baklava croissant which was such a cool flavor! Ambience is nice and relaxed. Will definitely be here again. ”
“ Mokafe is a Yemeni coffee shop and cafe with amazing cheesecakes, specialty desserts such as be bites, and traditional Middle Eastern cheesecakes. We could not resist coming here twice. You order, and they serve you by a number; after you order they bring the coffee and desserts. We found the be bites with honey to be excellent, with a certain amount of honey baked in. Try the exceptional Yemeni coffee as an alternative to drip coffee. Though they offer free wi-fi service, there is easily enough seating to accommodate a huge crowd of visitors. The cafe itself is adorned with traditional Yemeni and Middle Eastern architecture. There are even hookah pipes on display on the walls. We found the employees to be helpful and knowledgeable. Just a few steps away from Little Egypt, you should stop by and sample what they offer. Unlike other specialty bakeries, they are never short on pastries and breads. ”
“ Amazing chocolate. Great drinks!! Perfect service!! My family and I had the chocolate bars and Pistachio Latte, Matcha Latte, and Iced Chai latte. Everything was perfect! Ellie made us feel so good with the service! Will come back again!!! ”
“ I wanted to try the Dubai chocolate bar (thanks TikTok) and since my friend lives nearby, we decided to check this place out. The cafe was cute with a lot of seating inside. I bought two Dubai chocolate bars (milk chocolate, shredded phyllo, tahini, pistachio paste). They also had white chocolate, dark chocolate, nutella, and biscoff flavors as well. I liked that they keep the chocolate bars refrigerated so they don't melt. The Dubai chocolate bar was delicious, the shredded phyllo was crunchy and buttery. Service was fast and friendly. Their croissants and crackling drinks seem popular as well, I definitely have to try next time. FYI - if you pay cash, there's a discount. ”
“ I came here to get the very popular Dubai chocolate bar. Since k came during my lunch hour I decided to also get a turkey & cheese sandwich. The sandwich was delicious and a very generous size which was super filling. I never had the Dubai chocolate before so I have nothing to compare it to. The bar cost $10, the chocolate is very light and had a nice crunch to it. The pistachio filling was light but I didn't get much of the pistachio taste. ”
“ I've been to Mokafe multiple times and have enjoyed getting something to drink while studying for a bit. I've enjoyed some sweet treats here as well. I didn't love the Nutella croissant, but I enjoyed the red velvet cake and the various drinks I've tried, especially the hazelnut latte (I'm having some trouble adding pictures to my review but I'll update once Yelp is less finicky) The service is also great--one time they made me a drink and it was a bit lukewarm so I asked id they could heat it up a bit more and they did it right away which was great. The atmosphere is nice as well for catching up with someone over a bev or getting some work done. They even have a dedicated quiet space which is very thoughtful. ”
“ Nice spacious Yemeni cafe. The tea and desserts here are pretty good and not too sweet. Staff are friendly and there are plenty of seats for enjoying some food or working. They have no problem with people staying for a long time. There is even a small outdoor area in the back. ”
“ Drove 45 minutes to this Mokafe twice in 4 days from Long Island- was definitely a hike but worth it. This review is solely on the 12 "viral" Dubai pistachio knafa chocolate bars that I purchased from here during those 2 trips. Thanks to Tik Tok & FB, smh. My daughter and I really wanted to try it once, and now she is obsessed with them. The pistachio cream combined with knafa inside tasted rich, crispy & creamy, and reminds me of Ferrero Rocher or Bueno but with pistachio instead of hazelnut. The staff are friendly, and the cafe itself looks very modern & nicely decorated. Besides the chocolate bars, they also have a variety of drinks (coffee, tea, refreshers, lattes), pastries, desserts, and sandwiches. Omg everything looked so good... Back to the chocolate bars- they make them every morning, and there's a white & milk chocolate option. When you pay with cash, there's a cash discount, and each bar comes out to $8.71. Overall, I think it's really good and lives up to the hype. Must try! ”
