★★★★★4.6(266 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

MOKA is a local Madison favorite that earns serious points for both quality espresso drinks and genuine hospitality, with regulars praising their carefully crafted beverages whether you're ordering a traditional cappuccino or one of their specialty creations. The drive-thru setup makes it perfect for a quick grab, though the experience seems to depend on timing—you'll find friendly, attentive service when the line moves smoothly, but occasional waits can test your patience. What keeps people coming back is the real care that goes into each drink when the team has breathing room, paired with a refreshing alternative to chain coffee culture.

Just left with no coffee after waiting in line for almost 20 minutes. Three employees in the building and only handed out about 5 coffees in the cars ahead. Vehicles behind us left as well. Never had such a long wait at any coffee shop. Avoid this location if you want your coffee in a reasonable time.

I like MOKA. I mainly visit the East Towne Mall location because it's convenient for me. There is always going to be something bad and good about a coffee place. Prices are too high..a drink isn't made to my satisfaction..the Baristas are rude..etc. In my opinion if you are just going to complain about everything don't go out. Every coffee place does their best to interpret how specific someone wants their order to be. Every place does their best to be as pleasant as they can be given some of the rude customers that come through and do nothing but complain about this and that and take no accountability for maybe placing and order incorrectly and blame it elsewhere. Some of the stories I have heard about some customers makes me really wonder what world they live in by their actions. On the flip side I have heard stories of how staff can be towards customers. It works both ways. I purposefully visit the East Towne Mall location because I love the staff and their energy and personalities. All my visits are positive experiences. Love the drinks; especially the seasonal ones they come up with. Maybe once in a while a drink is off or not as I would like it but I am not a picky person and maybe it's just not my taste. I will drink it and tweak it next time or not order it. I have my go-to drinks that I really like and usually stick with. To me coffee is an art and everyone's is different; some alot more complicated than others but that's okay. To me the more complicated it is the more that can be off but to each their own. I love MOKA and especially this location. They try their best and have great personalities that make me want to visit their location. That is good enough for me.

I really like stopping here and getting the same thing but ever so often they make my drink wrong but when they make it right it’s really great. I get a breve miel with Carmel sauce around the cup. But if it’s made with regular milk vs breve it changes the whole drink and becomes too sweet because it’s not enough cream to balance it out. Please pay close attention to the milk preferences especially if there is any upcharge for it.
