MOKAH COFFEE BAR::
Enjoy a delicious blend and partake in catechism at Mokah Coffee Bar on Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm and during events. The intimate and cozy design scheme is that of a 15th century monastery basement with dark woods and leathers giving it a warm and cozy feel. We only serve Fair Trade coffee that has never been freeze-dried in a warehouse somewhere near Seattle. We also feature pastries, smoothies, exotic loose-leaf teas, soda, energy drinks and coffee shakes with enough caffeine to warrant a warning label. MOKAHCOFFEEBAR.COM
Why Mokah?
1.We’re not just another coffee bar. We’ve got a 1,100-capacity concert venue (Live At Mokah), a spacious art gallery and “The Lounge†featuring community gatherings for acoustic sets, indie showcases, spoken word, movies and much more. Pretty cool!
2.Free Wi-Fi. (Not that “force you to sign on with a provider and pay $7 a day†junk that should be banned in all coffee venues!)
3.All of our coffee is 100% Fair Trade with some of the most tasty and unique blends found anywhere.
4.You’ve not had loose-leaf tea until you’ve had Mokah’s loose leaf tea. Our house brand, “Monk’s Prayer,†will change your life.
5.Atmosphere. Where else can you find the genius fusion of orange vinyl and velour wallpaper?
6.Proceeds go right back into the cultural center to enrich the community. This means you!
