Crema's Take

Moka & Co brings authentic Yemeni coffee traditions to Center City Philadelphia with beautifully crafted espresso drinks and specialty beverages like their signature Dubai latte and organic matcha, all paired with enticing house-made pastries and traditional sweets like date cookies and baklava. The inviting space features an upstairs lounge with plenty of seating, making it perfect for lingering over a perfect double espresso or meeting a friend, and the staff—like the warmly praised Alyssa and Dida—genuinely make you feel welcomed. This is the specialty coffee experience that rewards the curiosity of someone who walks past for a week and finally decides to step inside.

Decent amount of sitting room. The desserts were beautiful, but we didn’t try any. We got a Dubai latte (heavy on the milk) and lavender matcha. Both were a bit pricey, but we enjoyed them. The workers did not seem happy to see us but provided decent service.

I have been walking past this gem for a week and a half and finally I just had to go in! What an inviting beautiful space. I was greeted by Alyssa & Dida who were absolutely fabulous. The vibe as well as ambiance are so lovely. I inquired if whether or not there was coffee in the drink featured on the outside a-frame signage. I do not drink coffee and Alyssa asked just a few questions on what I like and she made me the best latte with no coffee! Steamed milk infused with savory spices such as cinnamon and ginger! What I value most is her attentiveness. I had so many questions and she answered each one with such intentionality and compassion. She was not transactional and she made my first time experience memorable. I felt valued and appreciated. I cannot wait to come again! Thank you so much Alyssa and Dida for being such gems!

Beautiful authentic and traditional Yemeni coffees and teas. Adeni chai or mufawar coffee with the date cookies and baklava are especially my favorite. The desserts are all very enticing. The staff is especially welcoming and pleasant. Thank you for bring more culture and selection to Philly. :)

Yummy coffee! Glad to have another convenient center city cafe open!! I tried an iced pistachio latte and it was super tasty! Just the right amount of sweetness. Tons of dessert options available, need to go back to try them! Lots of seating and WiFi too. Seems like it would be a great place to get some work done or meet up with friends!

Best new coffee shop in Philly. My double espresso is perfect every time. Their matcha green tea is organic. Their pastries are delicious and there’s even an upstairs lounge inside with so much seating to have some peace & quiet while getting work done.
