Moja Coffee
Related entries in Coffee Reviews, Vancouver coffee
We’ve spent the last few weeks enjoying our coffee from Moja Coffee in North Vancouver. Originally a roaster, Moja Coffee recently opened a cafe (M-F 7:30am – 3pm). The space is gorgeous! Simple, modern, comfortable. The location is a little odd for a cafe, so hopefully you’ll go out of your way to check it out.
I’ve had about a dozen or so Americanos from the cafe, as well as two batches of coffee beans for our home. This past week, it’s been a daily staple for us as our home renovations have forced us out to for food & coffee each day. Everything we’ve had has been great (scones are tasty too). Americanos have all been perfect – smooth, flavorful, creamy & lovely.
Now that we’re further away from many of our “standard” cafes, we’ve been buying a lot of beans from JJ Bean. Which got a little repetitive after being used to trying new beans all the time. Moja Coffee offers us that variety back.
The handmade level-operated espresso machine is the jewel of the cafe. That’s the only picture I have to share for now – despite all the times we’ve been to Moja, we’ve been in a rush without our camera! Hopefully we can fix that some visit soon.
Moja is the roaster behind the coffee at Raincity Coffee, as well as many other coffee houses, restaurants & hotels.

Hi Dave – as far as I know, they continue to roast. The roasting facility is behind the cafe, you can see right in.

Moja coffee is the bomb. BTW, it’s a “lever” operated machine. It’s a Victoria Arduino “Athena Leva” machine, which is fairly unique around here.

They’ve recently chopped one of the group heads and their shots are pulling even better.
Ask for a ‘flat white’, and you won’t be happy anywhere else!
BTW, They’re actually located at 1412 Rupert Street (corner of Rupert at Harbour), behind the Canadian Tire.

You step inside this cafe and immediately your nose is tickled by the smells of freshly roasted coffee and delights of the Thomas Haas baked goods. The cafe holds a master piece of an espresso machine: La Victoria Arduino. It is quite an amazing thing to look at and better yet, the espresso that falls like syrup! I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good cup of coffee. Maybe ill see you there.
Ps. Store is open from 7:30am-5:00pm Mon – Fri
Opening on Saturdays in April with a brand new patio!

Is the coffee served here all Certified Fair Trade? (I’m sensitive since viewing NVPL’s DVD “Black Gold.”)
