One of the most popular coffee shops with more branches in Barquisimeto is Moca Coffee. I was able to visit one of their stores, and I was surprised by everything that defines them as a specialty coffee shop from Lara. I have repeatedly commented in this blog that the state where I live is an autochthonous producer of coffee. That is why there are many coffee shops, but few specialty coffee shops, and Moca Coffee is one of them.
I visited the branch of Moca Coffee on Streets 21 between Streets 9 and 10 in the city of Barquisimeto. This part of the city is known for having several attractive restaurants and commercial businesses.
To live my experience as a taster of Moca Coffee, I was accompanied by my uncle and brother. Mainly, there we would taste and eat a dessert, but we would also talk about work issues.
Moca Coffee stands out for having a warm-toned façade; its logo is even brown and has a coffee cup. The usual cup that everyone who loves this beverage uses, but with its own commercial identity. I love the isotype and typography of their brand. It can be seen on the façade as well as inside the store.
Upon entering, the first thing I found was a wall decorated with coffee cups cut in half that decorated the coffee shop in an incredible way.
I must first describe the interior design of the premises. The first thing is that the design stands out for incorporating several elements. You can notice the delicacy of the modeling and the small details. Even the technological elements are very well positioned. Everything is very neat, you can impeccably notice that it is a coffee shop that wants to convey its splendor and the desire to provide its customers with a unique experience.
I loved one of the walls in a pastel variation of turquoise. Something I also appreciate is that all their furniture is different. The chairs like the tables are not the same; but they all match perfectly, generating a unique visual appeal.
The lamps are also very well positioned. On the table, you can find a flowerpot with an artificial plant (it would be better if it were real), and an almanac with a QR code to scan the menu.
This paragraph I want to dedicate to the table where I sat. I had never seen such a unique decorative element in a coffee shop. Each table at Moca Coffee had a perforated rectangle in the center, which allowed it to be filled with roasted coffee beans. Each customer in this coffee shop could play with and touch the coffee beans in a very vivid way. This was precious to me and caused me to completely fall in love with their concept.
In addition, the centerpiece was very delicate. Every detail was unique, and sent a clear message: Welcome and enjoy a wonderful experience.
In the almanac with the QR of the menu that I mentioned above, there was a page that said: From the Farm to Your Cup. Evidently, every bean they serve is cared for and processed with great care. Amazing, right?
On the menu I came across a house specialty coffee called Mocao which was brewed with Nutella and cost 3.40 USD or HBD. Of course, I asked the waiter to prepare this one for me. Additionally, I ordered a Nutella Cheesecake with Oreo for dessert, which was 6 USD or HBD.
My brother ordered a Moca Toddy according to the menu: espresso coffee that is emulsified with toddy and cream milk. This was one of the options I wanted to try, but I opted for the Mocao. The Moca Toddy was priced at 2.90 USD or HBD. My uncle was undecided; but in the end he ordered a Cappuccino, which cost 2.60 USD or HBD. All of these coffees were large size.
Our order took approximately 10 minutes. I must highlight the impressive presentation of the Moca Toddy they prepared for my brother. It was beautiful, looked just like it did in the almanac on our table.
In my case, the presentation didn't stand out much because of the Nutella, I didn't like that detail. I think the barista felt pressured because the order was already 10 minutes old (besides, the owner was on the premises); however, that detail did not overshadow the taste of the Mocao at all. I must say, its flavor was unique. Plus, it didn't feel cloying or too sweet (no need to add sugar).
In the case of the Nutella Cheesecake with Oreo, its flavor was delicious. The presentation of this dessert was impeccable for me. Beautiful, I could tell they put a lot of care into the dessert I ordered.
Having the coffees and the Nutella Cheesecake with Oreo on the table was incredible. It all looked very aesthetic (everything was charmingly photographic). A synergistically foodie and coffee moment for a person who loves this kind of thing.
The service and the products were wonderful. The taste of the Mocao is unique, you can feel the refined taste of the specialty coffee, and, together with the Cheesecake, it is a perfect combination.
The total of my bill was more than 15 USD or HBD, which I paid in Venezuelan legal tender. Of course, I headed to the cashier, who surprises you with an amazing decoration.
I recommend visiting Moca Coffee, tea will be served in an expended way, and you will taste a delicious specialty coffee. Their desserts are impressive and the decoration of the coffee shop is designed to live the best experience.

Una de las cafeterías más populares y con más sucursales en Barquisimeto es Moca Café. Pude visitar una de sus tiendas y me sorprendió todo lo que los define como una cafetería de especialidad larense. He comentado en éste blog de manera reiterada que el Estado donde vivo es productor autóctono de café. Por eso hay muchas cafeterías, pero pocas de café de especialidad y Moca Café es una de ellas.
Visité la sucursal de Moca Café en la carrera 21 entre calles 9 y 10 de la ciudad de Barquisimeto. Ésta parte de la ciudad es conocida por tener varios restaurantes y negocios comerciales atractivos.
Para vivir mi experiencia como degustador en Moca Café fui acompañado de mi tío y hermano. Principalmente, allí degustaríamos y comeríamos un postre, pero también conversaríamos sobre temas de trabajo.
Moca Café destaca por tener una fachada en tonalidad cálida; su logo incluso es de color marrón y posee una taza de café. La usual taza que toda persona que ama esta bebida utiliza, pero con una identidad comercial propia. Me encanta el isotipo y la tipografía de su marca. Puede verse en la fachada como también en el interior del local.
Al entrar, lo primero que me encontré fue con una pared decorada con tazas de café cortadas a la mitad que decoraban de manera increíble la cafetería.
Debo describir primero el interiorismo del local. Lo primero es que el diseño destaca por incorporar varios elementos. Se puede notar la delicadeza del modelado y los pequeños detalles. Incluso los elementos tecnológicos están muy bien posicionados. Todo es muy pulcro, se nota de manera impecable que es una cafetería que desea transmitir su esplendor y el deseo de brindar a sus clientes una experiencia única. >
Me encantó una de las paredes en una variación pastel del color turquesa. Algo que también valoro es que todo su mobiliario es diferente. Las sillas como las mesas no son iguales; pero todas combinan perfectamente, generando un atractivo visual único.
Las lámparas también están muy bien posicionadas. En la mesa se puede encontrar un matero con una planta artificial (sería mejor si fuera real), y un almanaque con código QR para escanear el menú.
Éste párrafo quiero dedicarlo a la mesa donde me senté. Nunca había visto un elemento decorativo tan único en una cafetería. Cada mesa de Moca Café tenía un rectángulo perforado en el centro, lo que permitía que estuviera llena de granos de café tostado. Cada cliente de ésta cafetería puede jugar y tocar los granos de café de una manera muy vivida. Esto para mí fue precioso y causó que me enamorara por completo de su concepto.
Además, el centro de mesa era muy delicado. Cada detalle era único, y enviaba un mensaje claro: Bienvenido y disfruta una maravillosa experiencia.
En el almanaque con el QR del menú que comenté anteriormente, destacaba una página que decía: De la Finca a Tu Taza. Evidentemente, cada grano que ellos sirven es cuidado y procesado con mucho cuidado. Increíble, ¿cierto?
En el menú me encontré con un café de especialidad de la casa llamado Mocao que era elaborado con Nutella y costaba 3.40 USD o HBD. Por su puesto, le pedí al mesero que preparara éste para mí. Adicionalmente, pedí de postre un Cheesecake de Nutella con oreo que Valia 6 USD o HBD.
Mi hermano pidió un Moca Toddy según el menú es: café espresso que se encuentra emulsionado con toddy y leche cremada. Ésta era una de las opciones que quería probar, pero opté por el Mocao. El Moca Toddy tenía un precio de 2.90 USD o HBD. Mi tío estaba indeciso; pero al final ordenó un Capuchino que costó 2.60 USD o HBD. Todos estos cafés eran de tamaño grande.
Nuestro pedido tardó aproximadamente 10 minutos. Debo destacar la impresionante presentación del Moca Toddy que prepararon para mi hermano. Era precioso, se veía igual que en el almanaque en nuestra mesa.
En mi caso, la presentación no destacó mucho debido a la Nutella, no me gustó ese detalle. Creo que el barista se sintió presionado porque la orden ya tenía 10 minutos (además la dueña estaba en el local); sin embargo, ése detalle no opacó para nada el sabor del Mocao. Debo decirlo, su sabor era único. Además de que no se sentía empalagoso o demasiado dulce (no es necesario colocarle azúcar).
En el caso del Cheesecake de Nutella con oreo, su sabor era riquísimo, estaba delicioso. La presentación de éste postre para mí fue impecable. Hermosa, se notó que pusieron mucho esmero en el postre que pedí.
Tener los cafés y el Cheesecake en la mesa fue increíble. Se veía todo muy aesthetic (todo era encantadoramente fotográfico). Un momento sinérgicamente foodie y coffee para una persona que ama éste tipo de cosas.
La atención y los productos fueron maravillosos. El sabor del Mocao es único, se siente el sabor refinado del café de especialidad y, junto al Cheesecake es una perfecta combinación.
El total de mi cuenta fue más de 15 USD o HBD que pagué en moneda de curso legal venezolana. Por su puesto, me dirigí a la caja que te sorprende con una decoración increíble.
Recomiendo visitar Moca Café, té atenderán de manera expendida y probarás un café de especialidad delicioso. Sus postres son impresionantes y la decoración de la cafetería está diseñada para vivir la mejor experiencia.

Hi, guys. Thanks for this. :)

I really liked the decor of the place, it's very eye-catching, it's a place designed to enchant the senses from the moment you enter. It seems that the drinks and food met your expectations.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us.☕
Happy day.
It is a charming place. You enjoy it from the moment you enter. The decoration is beautiful and the small details surround you. The dessert and the Mocao were delicious.
Thank you for stopping by.
Oh damn that cake looks beyond delicious! $15 sounds quite pricey to me, but with that kind of treat in front of you, who could resist? :)
The Cheesecake is 6 dollars, the overall bill was a little over 15. In Venezuela all prices are referenced to US dollars. But in general it is worth it to enjoy and pay for the experience there.
Thank you so much for this. It is always lovely to share every experience with you.
A cup of coffee for the whole team.
The place looks wonderful, especially for its aesthetics. The food and coffee look even more fantastic... P.S. I need to go to a coffee shop, you've made me crave it hahaha. Cheers!
The cafeteria is very nice. It would be a good option to go, it is always good to disconnect.
