Crema's Take

Moderena is a neighborhood cafe that's quickly becoming a community gathering spot with an impressive espresso program and standout house-made desserts that locals compare to dedicated bakeries. The cappuccinos are expertly crafted, and the thoughtfully curated atmosphere—from the design and music to the overall vibe—makes it the kind of place where you'll want to linger over your coffee and pastry. This is still early in their journey, but the care they're putting into both their drinks and their role as a local gathering space is already evident in how warmly the neighborhood has embraced them.

I tried Fata and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors are rich and perfectly balanced, and every bite was so satisfying. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting to try something authentic and tasty—you won’t be disappointed!

Stopped by this neighborhood spot for the first time. I was surprised at how good the coffee menu was, and the cappuccino was fantastic. To my surprise, in addition to the standard breakfast sandwich selection, they had a selection of African dishes. I went out on a limb and ordered the Kitca and was not disappointed. I will absolutely visit this establishment again.

I decided the randomly try this community cafe and had a wonderful experience! I really liked the design, atmosphere, music, and coffee! This is very much the kind of cafe I would imagine every neighborhood should have! Even though many customers and staff were of the same/similar ethnicity, I felt very comfortable and the service was so friendly and welcoming! The coffee was also fantastic and the music was perfect for a chill cafe! The cafe and more impressively, the bathroom, was super clean and nice! I would love to work from my laptop here on some days, play board games with friends on a Saturday morning, and grab a coffee any day of the week! Plus, they’re open till 9pm!

I love desserts. Sadly, most of the time I am disappointed with those bought at a store or in a restaurant. These compare with La Baguette in Oklahoma. Moderena, is excellent. The desserts are fabulous. They are not too sweet and melt in your mouth. I have tried the gelato too. It is delicious as well. I will be returning to try different things.

We are so excited to have this little Cafe in the neighborhood!! Right now they are just having their "soft grand opening" so they do not have their full menu posted yet. The two times we have been here, each person was so friendly!! Their fruit tarts were very good and their vanilla cake was delicious. We can not wait to taste their coffee and see what the full menu has to offer. We are definitely routing for this business and wishing them much success in the area.
