The first place we have to visit when we go to Newport. Great coffee, baked goods and breakfast sandwiches. Staff is friendly and fun. The best is their outdoor patio to enjoy your goodies. It is a one of a kind.
Great restaurant! All 10 of us loved our food. I had the Mokka French Toast, it was so scrumptious. Our waitress, Karrie was great and her infectious good nature made our day. I highly recommend Mokka Coffeehouse.
Great coffee fun outdoor space to drink itGood soup
I am a local and went here with hopes to have a chill, good vibe to start off a Sunday morning. Looks can be deceiving - Mokka Coffeehouse has a very negative environment. There are so many rules - no box if you’re eating outside (or you will get “sprayed”???), no bathroom, no laptops, no phones... the list goes on forever. I thought this was a coffee shop not prison. The exclusively female staff were beyond stressed, hostile, and impatient. This may be a result of the chef (who is the only male employee working) screaming at the staff about order tickets. Ladies quit your job!! You’re better than that!!! The entire time I was in the vicinity, I was overwhelmed by negativity. The coffee was mediocre and there are many other places that you can get better service and better coffee. I have never wanted to write a review about another business - but given my experience it only felt appropriate.
Great cortado.Great breakfast sandwich.
Good coffee but the staff needs customer service training. Pretty obnoxious for the prices. Also noticed a lot of signs with rules about weird things, it’s a coffee shop that feels like a DMV
Amazing!! The soy latte was large and delicious. The almond croissant was out of this world. The outdoor courtyard is beautiful. I cannot wait to visit here again the next time I am in Newport.
Good coffee.But very weird atmosphere with angry signage everywhere directed at the customers. I understand that serving the public is difficult. Owners and staff of all restaurants and shops have to utilize a very complex and demanding skill: interacting in a friendly way with customers, even those who dont always act correctly (and perhaps gently correcting them with a smile....even when you dont feel like smiling). Mokka has chosen to address this challenge with scolding signs instead. It is one approach. However, to me it feels unfriendly...and Im guessing it is only partially effective, and also succeeds in turning off potential repeat customers who dont feel welcomed into the space.This is just my personal vibe -- Im sure many others wont be bothered by the signage. And the coffee was good!
Not very friendly staff. Every corner you look is a sign on some rule they have. No restrooms, no laptops, please don’t eat here, please don’t touch, don’t eat to go food here. I was there for five minutes and felt like a toddler being told NO 100 times lol. Food was fine if that matters.
Excellent breakfast sandwiches!! Madi is an awesome barista, staff was very friendly :)
The food and coffee are EXCELLENT! Great spot to grab a bite to go or to enjoy it in a lovely garden. Lovely staff. Excellent service.
Beautiful outside seating set up.. friendly staff and outstanding coffee.
Great food and coffee. The courtyard is very relaxing.
If I could leave no stars I would. Terrible customer service, 0 hospitality towards guests. Owner was very dismissive; what a disgrace! Coffee was ok but they don’t yell at you at Starbucks. No phone, no lab top, no being a human being in 2021.
Love this place, very cozy. Delicious food, coffee. Reasonable price.
Was in Newport for the weekend and stopped here for coffee. The staff was standoffish and acted bothered... overall weird experience and coffee wasnt great. Really wanted to like it because it was a cute spot.
My wife and work remotely and decide to get a coffee and get some work done on a beautiful Saturday morning. We bought coffee and began working outside. We were told to leave after 30 minutes of sitting down because were taking up space and our computers were plugged into an outlet. If you are looking to get some work done or maybe charge your computer while you drink coffee, don’t come here.
Great place with friendly staff. The courtyard could use more shady spots.
First time we was there, you can eat you can drink you can set but you can’t use restroom this make no sense, close the tables and do just make drive thru
Awesome breakfast sandwiches!
Super quaint coffee shop with lovely patio outside. The atmosphere is charming. However, they don’t have oat milk (which every espresso bar should offer now) and their hours aren’t accurate online. Please get oat milk to keep up with us alternative dairy seekers. My latte was decent.
Love the egg sandwich and vanilla latte not like these chain coffee places..
Nice, cozy and good food
Coffee is mediocre. Staff and owner are unbelievably rude.
It was horrible the people were awful and rude. And none of the followed COVID-19 procedures. The weren’t even wearing masks. The coffee was so bad.Will never be going here again.
SO CUTE!! And delicious :)
I really enjoyed my ice house and my bagel at this place and I wish they had longer hours especially on Sunday but I loved there outside seating area.
The staff werent very friendly or welcoming. The space was cute and the offerings diverse but was turned off by their attitude.
Best coffee and quick bite to eat in Newport hands down!! This is no Starbucks and thats a good thing! Real coffee made fresh from people who know what coffee is. Its a coffee shop that focuses on the actual product instead of providing a place for hipsters to hang out and write their novels or screenplays. Stop in and let Jack, Trish and the rest of the staff take care of you. You wont regret it. Just put the cellphone away before you walk through the door. 😉☕
Best coffee and a variety of yummy snacks and baked goods. I come here at least twice a week. The beautiful outdoor patio will leave you with a tranquil and relaxed feeling.
Great gyro
Amazing! The vibe and all! We had the pleasure visiting this coffee shop while vacationing in Greece last year. I love the city of Athens. Submerging yourself within the culture is everything. I Purchased a ton of goodies. Coffee, coffee and more coffee! I am now looking to them for many of my coffee desires. I am a total coffee snob. I love to grind and brew my coffee and espresso...I make the time for it each day. I never have to worry about a coffee origin I simply turn to their website and they offer some of the best including some geisha roasts. Forget the gentleman‘s name but I had the pleasure to meet him as well that day. He travels the world, hand selecting the beans. They have a great selection in there coffee shop with traditional brewing options and souvenirs as well. The place was packed when we were there. Family owned and operated I will definitely visit each and every year:)
During our vacation to Rhode island we would wake up every morning and walk down Thames street to Mokka Coffeehouse. Its cute outside seating and its lovely indoor ordering area makes a trendy location. I also loved how they are very dog friendly. Will definitely return when I come back to Newport.
Love this place. So eclectic and the no phone policy is the best. Plus amazing coffee and a wide variety of flavor shots.
Delicious food and coffee and cool sculptures outside to enjoy while eating on the patio
Very good cappuccino with fresh beans. One of the best I drank in the USA.
Very rude help! We bought coffee and pastry had no idea they were closing at 3:00. We sat down outside to eat and they said we had to leave, they were locking the gate. We were picking up our stuff and they were saying you have to go now! The gate closes on you at 3:00, bunch of jerks.
Great Lil spot off the path. Great food. Would be excellent if they could reduce the single-use plastic. Especially for dining in.
While a Covid is happening and I get it having people walk 5 blocks to go to a bathroom when you serve drinks and food doesn’t seem right.
Real italian style coffee made with attention to detail. Get your morning cup here with a muffin or a croissant
Very nice. Great coffee!
Beautiful spot, great food, attention, local, menu, everything is like handmade... great spot to visit
Very trendy place, great loose leaf tea and coffee selection, doggie friendly and interesting antiques on display. A spot to be in the morning!
Very good breakfast items and tea. Very friendly service.
Great cold brew.
Yes I like it here, but the owner seems more dog friendly than kid friendly which is weird. Except for their hatred of toddlers I reccomend Mokka to others ;)
The Icehouse is better than any iced coffee Ive ever had!
I am eating here with my dog and this is an incredibly dog friendly place. The food is great and the staff is very kind.
The nicest and coolest coffeeshop in Newport!
Perfect cortado, but signs, signs, everywhere therere signs. I guess in a tourist town you have to post no cell phones at the counter, no climbing on the statues in the courtyard, no electronic devices on the tables, etc. but I cant say it did anything for the ambiance.
Fresh delicious fair prices. Great coffee. Well worth the stop
Regular coffee was smooth and tasty; ham, swiss, egg sandwich hit the spot!
Very chilled place to get coffee. Various books and magazines to read and a TV on quietly in the corner. Nice and relaxing.
Best iced latte ever!!
Tasty coffee and delicious food
A nice small coffee House with a good feel. It is almost feels like a hipster den but without the filth.☕🙊
A good place for coffee in Newport. Great outdoor space.Update: Far too many signs added.. no laptops etc.
Wonderful locally run coffee shop with plenty of breakfast and lunch options. They care deeply about their product, service, and their customers.
I loved the look and feel of this place. I wanted to give it 5 stars but their iced coffee was really weak.
Very weak espresso drinks. When I explained this to cashier she was so incredibly rude and charged me for an extra shot. This was fine, but she was bad tempered and went so far as to slam my change on the counter. Poor customer service with bad tempered counter girls. Drink was still awful even with extra shot. No apologies- just psychotic attitude.
We went here for breakfast one early morning and it was absolutely delicious! They have breakfast sandwiches that you maybe wouldnt think of! For example, I had no idea what to order so I sat down to wait and let my fiance order for me.The sitting area is all concrete. And by that I mean concrete statues of animals, people, tables, concrete benches, are all around for you to just sit on and have breakfast. It can get extremely crowded and you may find yourself sitting with other couples eating your breakfast. Be aware that they allow dogs in this area. So youll not only be sitting with another couple, but another couple and there dogs. Which is fine with me since Im a huge dog lover! And no, there not service animals.So I ended up getting an egg and cheese BLT and it was delicious. It was on a bulkie roll and they put your egg, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and a bit of mayo on there and it was delightful. Absolutely recommend eating here. The prices are fair as well. I paid about $5-$6 for my sandwich and was full after my 4th bite! Well worth it! And GO EARLY! you will NOT get a seat if you dont!
Wonderful and friendly staff - great advice on both coffee and ways to enjoy visiting in the quieter winter months :)
Looking for a cup of decent espresso based drink? Then avoid this place like a plague.Here they dont even have a coffee grinder for that. Instead, they use some stale improperly preground coffee. What a misleading name for such kind of cafe.
Great coffee and breakfast.
Very good mocha and bacon, egg & cheese bagel.
The ice House is one of my favorite coffees in town. The food is eh, but the court yard is nice to sit and have a coffee in.
Went because of my friends raving. I could not be more satisfied. Such a great atmosphere with great coffee
The hours listed on Google Maps and the Facebook page are not correct. The biggest problem being the shop is closed on Tuesday. Of course my wife and I went on a Tuesday.
Great food, great coffee and an excellent staff. Highly recommended!
Strong coffee with limited food selections. Unique location.
Awesome breakfast sandwiches
Great coffee. Atmosphere pleasant. Courtyard interesting.
Exceptional coffee shop...everything youd want ....
Coffee fine.Staff not particularly friendly.Setting unique.
Very nice cozy little coffee shop and Id like to think of myself as a bit of a coffee fanatic :)
The best coffee in Newport with a few wonderful specialties. Try the Icehouse - iced coffee with espresso and topped with cold foamed milk. They have THE BEST dirty chai latte. They use a brewed chai tea rather than a sugary mix from a carton - youll never want to get one anywhere else!The owners are very friendly and while they used to take cash only, they now accept credit cards.
Cute out of the way hidden Gem!!
Fast and friendly service. Food and coffee was great
Great little niche in a convenient location!
Good cofee.Not a lot of seating plsces.
Enjoy your sandwich & beverage at one of the vintage tables or swings.
Great service and beautiful space! The outdoor seating area is beautiful
Cosy little coffeeshop with an unique mediterranean patio. Its dog friendly and have some treats in a jar next to the sugars&sweeteners.
Super friendly staff, good coffee, local indie spot....will be back
Loved it!!
Nice coffee, amazing mediterranean snacks, cosy atmosphere.The place has beautiful outside seating with a porch swing. They make regular coffee and espresso, latte, cappuccino, etc. They have small fridge with mediterranean snacks: tabouli, grape leaves, amazing hummus, pasta salad, etc. that are very reasonably priced ($4 or so). They warmed me a pita to go with the hummus too.
Excellent Coffee with the tastiest and freshest beans in town!
Cutest coffee house ever!!
Best cold brew, coolest courtyard around
Cool atmosphere and great selection! My new go to place for coffee
Cant believe some of the reviews said they had good bakery items, they just had couple of muffins and cookies...other then that coffee selection was decent
Great coffee, great food, great prices
A local favorite. Dont go if you are not a fan of expresso drinks.
