Breezeway Coffee (Formerly Cafe Moka)
7416 Waverly Walk Ave H3, Matthews, NC
Crema's Take
“Breezeway Coffee strikes an impressive balance between serious espresso craftsmanship and genuinely welcoming hospitality, with baristas who clearly care about making each visit feel personal rather than transactional. The intimate, thoughtfully decorated space tucked into a Matthews shopping center punches well above its surroundings, offering everything from meticulously pulled single-origin pour overs to creative seasonal drinks that justify lingering for hours. Despite some mixed first impressions from skeptical visitors, those who stick around discover a cozy haven that's become a favorite for both specialty coffee enthusiasts and laptop-toting regulars seeking real community.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, laptop-friendly.

I visited this cafe on February and tried their El Salvador Finca San Luis pour over. The indoor decor was so cozy and I spent about 2 hours there doing my coursework that day. Also tried their apple cider loaf and blackberry creamy smoothie (a bit too sweet for me) and all of…
