Café Mocha sounds like just a coffee shop, right? Well, it’s not! This eatery serves a mean escoveitch fish (yes, you read right, escoveitch fish).

While it does serve a wide variety of coffee offerings, the food complement does not revolve around croissants, sandwiches, bagels and muffins, but well-prepared meals worthy of note. Menu offerings include jerk chicken flatbread, jerk pork spring rolls and pork chops.

Fast becoming the preferred spot for young entrepreneurs in the second city for business meetings and lunches, Café Mocha is conveniently located on the Hip Strip (Gloucester Ave), with a balcony view perfectly suited for beach gazing or sunset watching, positioning it as a favourite for visitors, as well.

“We wanted to create a comfortable spot, with good food that would have an inclusive feel about it; we absolutely didn’t want locals to feel like this was just a place for tourists. So everything that we did revolved around that theme. Our menu prices are in local currency and we have kept the prices affordable, as well,” explained Marlene Wilson-Hacker, owner, Café Mocha.

Now that, Thursday Food reckons, is reason enough to visit!
