Mocha Joe's Cafe — Restaurant in Brattleboro

Best coffee shop in town. Eclectic, true to the very spirit of Brattleboro. A great place to read, write, play chess, get work done.

Of course, most of all, it is a fabulous place to enjoy a range of hot and cold beverages. For those of us who want to freeze, they even sell iced coffee and espresso drinks in the winter.

My favorite iced drink is an iced americano. So delicious there is no need to add anything but a paper(!) straw. For hot drinks I either have a few things mixed from the tea selections (which 'loose leaf'), or a soy maple latte as a treat. They make the best in town, in my opinion.

Mocha Joe's also has fresh baked muffins, scones, and other goodies that are made locally and delivered first thing in the morning. The scones are so delicious, I have a struggle to limit myself to just one.

The baristas are some of the most fun and friendly people I've met in town. If anyone who works there reads this, I think you are fantastic!

Mocha Joe's also has a particularly nice selection of bulk coffee in whole bean form, which can be ground to one's liking. The beans are a variety of fair trade, equal exchange, and other things great for the coffee farmers and the environment. They even have a certificate from a provincial (?) government related to coffee agriculture.

Also, great music, great rotating art on the walls, free WiFi, and seems pretty much dog friendly, pet or assistance animal.

Highly,...

Right now there seems to be a employee that likes to do whispering gossip or comments, which changes the whole vibe of the place. Its too bad too because she seemed nice before... God only knows what negative falsehoods shes whispering about the patrons : Its the small girl. I don't know her name so I'm sorry that that's my only way to describe her and I think she stands on something at the register to make her taller.. No clue what negative and false things she is saying but, it makes it very uncomfortable in there.

SHE SHOULD STOP!! also. ..*it *is *happening! It is not my imagination

It's a cool place. I do like it there. I reported that the coffee was undrinkably strong in my previous review, but it's improved I think, and it's good like it was before! Maybe someone was new and they just were doing it wrong.

One last thing : they have room for about 20 people to sit in there and only one of the tables has an electrical outlet, so if you want to charge your phone and that one table is taken, you're out of luck and you're not charging your phone.

One other thing : they always have good art there from local people, so if any artists are reading this maybe they could get there art...

Went in for the first time and asked for an Iced Mocha Coffee. They told me they had no iced coffee but could make me a iced mocha with a shot of espresso...now in my mind I'd assume that's an iced latte, and the price would suggest that as well. After waiting about 10+ minutes (it was busy and they told me it'd be a few minutes) I got my drink. It looked nice as did the other drinks I saw. I tried it and it was awful. I'm not sure if what I got was a mistake or just something I've never bad before. It had almost no notable taste. It didn't taste like mocha, espresso, or even coffee. If I had to guess they made me an Americano but man it was bad. I don't like feeling like I've wasted my money.

Maybe I'll try again in the future. It was small but had a...
