"Mokafe is a family-owned chain of Yemeni cafes offering small-batch, organic Yemeni and Guatemalan coffee beans. It serves as a community hub for the Muslim community in Astoria, hosting events like Kefiyeh Nights, Muslim Women Tea Time, and a celebration of Arab American History Month. Although initially planned as a daytime destination, Mokafe experiences peak business after 6 p.m. on weekends." - Caroline Shin
