Just steps from the bustling Boulevard Anspach, Moka is a charming coffee bar that has become a cherished spot for both locals and visitors in Brussels. Established in 2015 by Anne-Audrey and her barista friend Fernanda, Moka offers a warm and inviting atmosphere where patrons can enjoy expertly crafted beverages and delightful homemade pastries.

Beyond coffee, Moka's menu has expanded to include a selection of local beers, notably the Illegal beer brewed by their partner, Axel de Ville. This addition makes Moka not just a coffee spot but also a place to unwind with a quality Belgian brew.
The interior of Moka exudes a retro charm, with colorful tiles behind the counter, vibrant paint on the walls, and a touch of greenery from hanging plants. Creating a relaxed environment perfect for savoring a cappuccino or enjoying a beer.
For those with a sweet tooth, Moka offers homemade pastries daily, with their carrot cake being particularly mouth-watering.
