OUR CULTURE
Connections through coffee. It’s the MOKA way. We believe coffee is so much more than just a drink, but rather a way to bring friends, families, and communities together, to enjoy each other's company, share experiences, and make memories.
OUR MENU
Our Baristas are well-trained to assist our customers in deciding on their perfect drink. Every drink is then hand-crafted and made fresh using the highest quality ingredients. Each of our locations offer a wide variety of specialty coffee, tea, and espresso drinks. All of our espresso drinks can be made hot, on ice, or blended and can be easily customized for individual preferences.
We also offer a variety of teas, smoothies, and shakes, along with sugar-free and dairy-free drink options. In addition to hand-crafted drinks, we also offer several breakfast and snack food options at each of our stores. We feature fresh, locally sourced bakery items at our stores.
OUR COFFEE
At MOKA, we take great pride in the quality of our coffee. We believe in sourcing, brewing, and serving the best coffee to our customers. All of our coffee is roasted by Landgrove Coffee, a small, family run roastery located in the backcountry of Idaho. They share in our passion for a high quality cup of coffee and enjoy the challenge of sourcing the finest beans available.
