Mokas Coffee & Eatery
1344 N Veranda Dr, Wichita, KS
Crema's Take
“This Wichita spot surprises visitors with genuinely solid coffee pulled from an automatic machine and a thoughtfully designed space that works equally well for a quick caffeine fix or a leisurely breakfast meeting. The kitchen shows real care with house-made pastries and breakfast sandwiches that consistently impress, though the experience can be uneven depending on staffing levels. It's the kind of neighborhood cafe where an avid coffee traveler from bigger cities finds themselves pleasantly caught off guard.”

I ordered a latte and an orange-cranberry muffin. The coffee was surprisingly good, especially considering it’s made on an automatic machine. The muffin was nice as well. The place has a cool design and a pleasant atmosphere. The staff was friendly and welcoming.
I had a wild idea in the middle of the night to get breakfast for my office. So I placed an order at 6am for 12 bagel breakfast sandwiches to be picked up at 8:15. I was sure the employees weren't happy when they got to work at 6:30. 😁 I received texts to confirm my order and giving me a 10min window to pick up my order. I arrived a few min early and they were bagging up my order. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The entire process was very easy and everything came out exactly as ordered. The food received rave reviews from my coworkers! I highly recommend the Mokas on Veranda on E Wichita.
The coffee is good. I just get plain coffee with cream. 4/5 for coffee. The food is gas station quality for breakfast. I've tried the croissant breakfast sandwich and the avocado toast. It was pictured with a fried egg and when I got it, there was no egg, so it was just my error and not asking for a fried egg on top. My son had the chocolate chip scone and said it tasted like a hint of blueberry. I would be willing to try the lunch to see if it's better than the breakfast.
I'd consider myself an avid coffee fan, frequenting cafes in various big cities. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food at Mokas. I ordered the sandwich and soup combo and a snowflake latte for a reasonable price. The BLT was delicious. It was well-toasted with crispy bacon but still light on the palate and not overly salty/oily. The broccoli cheddar soup was creamy and satisfying. Finally, the snowflake latte was silky smooth with a mild sweetness and peppermint flavor. I will definitely visit again when I return to Wichita.
The restaurant interior is nice. The food was alright. We had breakfast burritos. The employees could use some help. There were hardly any customers. Our food was done and we could see it in the window. At least two people behind us got their orders of coffees/drinks before our food was delivered. I'll give it a second chance, but wasn't too impressed.
