My friend and I ended up at Mokafe because he had been looking for a place to get a cup of Yemeni tea. He had tried it at a friend's mosque and he says he's been chasing that high ever since. We figured we'd try to get some at Mokafe. It wasn't too difficult to find street parking, but the cafe was surprisingly busy for a late Sunday night. We placed our order for Adeni Shai, Dubai Knafa Brownie, and a Lotus Biscoff croissant. Everything was delicious. I have never had Yemeni tea before so I didn't have a bar to measure it against. I really enjoyed the tea though my friend said it wasn't exactly what he was looking for. I feel like it could've done with more spices but it still tasted very good. The Dubai Knafa Brownie was excellent. The brownie by itself was nice and moist with the perfect texture for a brownie. The Knafa set it over the top with the crunch and pistachio flavor. I'd definitely get this again. The Lotus Biscoff Croissant was good, but I liked the brownie more. It was about an average croissant but the Biscoff spread added some nice flavor to it. I think it could've used more though. It was buttery and flaky; pillars a of what a croissant should be. However, I'd try another pastry before ordering this again. The place is clean, they play great music, and the service is prompt and friendly. Mokafe is a wonderful Coffee House and I'd love to come back.

The decor is very nice and modern. It's very coffee cafe welcoming like. The staff is nice and accommodating. I tried the lived pistachio latte and it was so good. When I was in dining I had the sahlab and it was so good. If you're in the area recommend this place!

Recently, Dubai chocolate has become a trending favorite, and I've been on the hunt to try it. Finally, I found it here--alongside the intriguing Dubai Kunafa Croissant, which feels like a close cousin to the Dubai chocolate. The croissant was absolutely incredible! Its crunchy kunafa layers, pistachio filling, and perfectly balanced chocolate coating came together beautifully. It's indulgent, decadent, and dangerously delicious--truly "evil" in the best way possible.

A total vibe! I love that they offer unique flavors with ethnic touches that you just don't find in everyday bakeries. I really like the decor too, including the olive trees and green colors. Also, Saif (I hope I am spelling and remembering his name right) who works here is such a class act. Really makes the experience totally wonderful! I will visit again.

Came here to satisfy my sweet tooth cravings. Love their wide selection of pastries and drinks! I especially enjoyed the pistachio croissant and the chai. Their viral Dubai chocolate is a MUST TRY!! It was busy on a Saturday around noon but staff were efficient. Tables opened up faster than expected and the ambiance is so inviting and cozy. The perfect place to catch up with friends over a delicious pastry or two. Only wish there was a location closer to me because I would visit much more often!

I've been wanting to try this cafe's lattes for a while now and finally stopped in this past weekend with my husband. It was extremely busy and for good reason! Their menu items range from coffees, teas, lattes to sandwiches, cakes and pastries. We opted for some lattes and desserts and after seeing how good the refreshers looked we got two of those as well. We got the following menu items Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso Latte Pistachio Latte Strawberry Cucumber Mint Refresher Pomegranate Refresher Lotus Shooter Banana Pudding Shooter Pistachio Tres Leches The pistachio latte was the star of the show. All four drinks were delicious but the pistachio latte was hands down the best drink we got. None of the drinks were bogged down with ice like some places do to give you only two sips of drink. The pistachio spread in the drink was so good that I could eat spoonfuls of it if it was a possibility. The strawberry cucumber mint refresher was my favorite of the two refreshers. It was extremely refreshing and the flavors paired well together, they put mint leaves in it which was the perfect balance to the strawberry cucumber flavors. The Tres Leches cake was moist and delicious. It had the perfect amount of liquid in it so that the cake stayed moist in the fridge even 3 days later. The Lotus shooter could have used some more biscoff cookie crumbs at the bottom of the shooter since there was a lot of biscoff spread on the top but other than that it was scrumptious! My husband got the banana pudding shooter and he enjoyed it more than he enjoyed the other two items because he doesn't like overly sweet desserts and the Lotus shooter was definitely very sweet. The cafe is super cute inside and their seating is instagramable as are their menu items. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Paterson!

Food: I was hesitant about getting the buffalo chicken sandwich considering it was around 10 AM when I arrived. However upon receiving it, it was nothing like I thought it would be. It was delicious and filling. It was perfect for breakfast. The iced chai with hazelnut syrup was so amazing, my mouth is watering as I write this! Service: Service was great! Everyone greeted us upon arrival and was helpful when we ordered. They forgot to bring my friend her tea however offered her a free refill for the mishap. Ambiance: this is a great spot if you want somewhere to go for a quick bite or just to sit and talk. I would come here whenever.
