MOTW Coffee and Pastries

Less glitzy than some of the other ostentatious similar joints in the general area and points east. Found the interior very relaxing despite the onslaught from "notebook jockeys with backpacks" from across the street. Of course, can't escape from the dubious pistachio chocolate combo in myriad styles. Perhaps "dubious" is the wrong choice here. Mrs. Malaprop strikes again, eh? The Croissant was on the larger size category and I didn't quite understand the need to pre-fill it with whatever without any hint (or butter) or description. The Beef Empanadas was short in the quantity of meat but compensated by the presence of two or three green peas. It took ~15 minutes to be served the Americano and the Doppio (in paper cups, huh?) and the serving temperature had dropped several degrees. Of course, expecting a small glass of water to accompany the espresso was dubious on my part. To run a place like this which was three quarters occupied with only two employees is a good barometer of what the owners want.

This was our first visit to MOTW, and WOW! Fatima was so nice and extremely helpful. She even gave us suggestions about which pastries were her favorite. I got the Biscoff latte, which was amazing. Most cookie butter lattes are overly sweet, but this one genuinely tastes like coffee with cookie butter infused. We also had the pistachio biscoff cheesecake and an apple cider donut. This may just be our new favorite coffee spot!

Got the pistachio latte with oat milk and a chicken pot pie empanada. Drink and food were both good. Tons of seating in here. Makes it a great place for a meet up or to catch up on some work.

I was looking for a good place to get some work done and stumbled upon MOTW. This coffee shop is very spacious, offers plenty of seating, and has wifi. Sonia was super friendly and helpful. I asked for her recommendation on a savory pastry and she recommended the butter chicken empanada. It was delicious and I would also recommend giving it a try! I paired it with the oh honey honey latte. This latte is on the sweeter side, so if you don't prefer sweet coffee they have plenty of other options.

I love coming here to get work done. There isn’t too much noise. The atmosphere is aesthetically pleasing. The environment is extremely clean. Every drink and pastry I’ve had so far tastes really good!
