Mocha Express

For a more peaceful, quiet and classy experience with your screaming children, go to Chuck E Cheese. If party time for you and your toddler consists of lots of other screaming children and mediocre coffee, this place is for you!

OH THANK GOD!!! Finally someone figured out that not all of us can do dairy or soy!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for adding coconut and almond to your milk options… you are WONDERFUL!!!
Add to this the play area for the kids, the free wifi and computers that can be used, ice cream, non-​coffee drinks and snacks. It is a pretty well rounded coffee shop if I do say so myself.
Note though… if you don’t like you coffee drinks sweet enough to make your teeth cringe you probably want to ask for half the syrups or sauces. The drinks, otherwise, are FAR FAR too sweet. Honestly, it doesn’t much make sense financially for them either… they could do half the syrup, save themselves some money and charge extra to those who want it that sweet. *shrug* But who am I?
Anyway…totally worth it all for the coconut milk mochas! WOOT WOOT!!! Sooooooo happy I live so close!

I love going here because of the play area. It’s not the cleanest play area in the world, but if you are a germ-​a-​phobe you should probably not take your kids here. I saw crackers spilled on the floor inside the little play house one time I was there, then I came back 2 weeks later and it was still in there. Unless kids spill crackers in there daily, it isnt cleaned very often.
The drinks are good, I have gotten coffee there and also a shake. Both tasty.
I do have to say that the parking sucks. There aren’t many spots out there, and most of them say «Market» and the assholes from the market yell at you if you park there. So just so you know, don’t park in the Market spots unless you are going to the market. But don’t go to the market because those assholes don’t deserve your business. lol.

I love to meet up with my sister and chat as we admire our two boys getting carried away in their own imaginary universe. My youngest child will see me pulling up to Mocha Express and state, «Yeah, mom’s getting a café!» He already knows that mommy time means his time to play. They have a wonderful play area for toddlers to unwind while mommy does a little unwinding too!

The reason to go here, as far as I’m concerned, is the children’s play area. They have a low-​walled off area that contains a playhouse, train table, puppet theater and lots of other toys. There’s seating around the outside for parents to sit. There’s also a children’s table outside for them to drink their child’s hot chocolate and snacks.
There’s also computers/​internet access, chairs around somekind of fireplace. The service is friendly, but not real speedy when I’ve been there, but it hasn’t been a problem for me because my toddler was otherwise occupied. I’ve only had hot chocolate and mochas, which were fine, but I’m much of a coffee drinker. They also seem to have a wide range of milkshakes/​ice cream.
