Monroe, NY's Coco Moka: Small Cafe, Big Personality

Coco Moka is a small coffee shop tucked away in Monroe, New York. The moment you open the door the smell of fresh coffee and deli sandwiches hits you in the face and makes your mouth begin to water. The good thing is the food and coffee tastes just as good as it smells.

The café serves Seattle's Best Coffee. Some argue that Seattle's Best actually is one of the best. It isn't just a name! The café offers a wide variety of cold and hot drinks. A personal favorite is the White Chocolate Mocha. Along with coffee you can also purchase soft drinks, water, tea, and juice.

The menu is what really sets Cocoa Mocha apart and adds personality to this little sandwich and coffee shop. Each sandwich on the menu is named after a town in the area. The Monroe is a fresh chicken salad topped with crispy bacon and served on toasted whole wheat bread. Also try the Tuxedo Club, and the Harriman special.

All sandwiches are made with fresh Boar's Head meat that will make your mouth water and have you coming back for me. Grab a bag of Dirty Potato Chips or match your sandwich with one of the daily soups. The café is always offering something different, but you can usually find broccoli and cheese soup there. Also on the menu is a variety of salads, muffins, and cakes. They also offer fruit salads as a healthier selection.

The café also offers free internet access to customers. To use the internet you need to bring in your personal laptop with a wireless router. You simply turn on your computer and you have high speed internet right then.

Coco Moka has a daily drawing where a customer can win a free lunch of their choice for any day the week that they win. To sign up go to Coka Moka's official web site and join their customer list. You could be the lucky winner! Once you sign up you will also receive an email with their daily specials. The email will tell you what is on sale, what types of soups they carry for the day, and offers daily trivia.

The café's current hours are from 7 am to 3 pm. This sometimes changes due to changes in the weather and how busy they are. I have to say that closing early is the only drawback to Coco Moka. It is nice to sit in a small café at night and hang out with friends. When the café closes at 3 pm, you can only go if you are off work or get off very early in the day.

Coco Moka is a small café with big personality. The staff is friendly, the menu is great, and the food is even better. Whether you are stopping by for lunch or coffee, your taste buds will be satisfied.
