This café originated from a roaster's basement, which explains why coffee is the top priority here. Their specialty is house-made espresso blends tailored to perfection, along with rich filter coffee. However, the café's popularity means that getting your Saturday late-morning coffee fix often involves a wait in line.
Besides praising its coffee, Moja is rich in other aspects as well. Abundant bakery is available for a brunch or quick snack. Traditional croissants, bagels, scones—both sweet and savory—as well as chaussons, brownies, tarts, turnovers, and cookies are all worth trying and hard to choose from. Vegan sweet options with unique flavor combinations will also catch your interest!
To impress you even more as a coffee lover, imagine: the roaster will meet you right there, in the open space of the cafe. It is always so relaxing and exciting at the same time to realize all the magic is actually happening here!
