MOKA
5227 University Ave, Madison, WI
Crema's Take
“This Madison espresso bar moves with impressive speed and precision, with a flawless app ordering system that consistently delivers your drink faster than you'd expect—whether you're grabbing a meticulously pulled shot or a smooth cold brew. While consistency varies slightly between locations, the best MOKA experiences showcase genuinely skilled baristas who balance their efficiency with real warmth, especially when you hit the drive-thru and get greeted by staff who actually seem happy you're there. It's become a weekly ritual for plenty of locals who've found it hits that sweet spot between specialty coffee quality and the convenience of grabbing breakfast and heading out.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Drive-thru.
