MoKaBe's Coffeehouse

We are MoKaBe's, South City's queer owned and operated coffeehouse, sitting at the corner of Arsenal and Grand right across from historic Tower Grove Park. For years we have been the kind of place where you can settle in for the whole afternoon, whether you are cramming for an exam, catching up with old friends, or just needing a warm mug and a window to watch the neighborhood go by. The rainbow flag out front is not decoration. It is a promise that everyone has a seat at our table. Our coffee is made with locally roasted Chauvin coffee, and we pour it every way we know how. Order a classic latte or cappuccino, try our house Flagstaff with espresso and coffee together, warm up with a London Fog or a chai, or cool off with a Vietnamese iced coffee, a specialty iced latte, or an ice cream shake or float. If you need a jolt, our Zinger and Mudslide have you covered. We serve breakfast and lunch daily, and we take real pride in feeding everybody. That means plenty of vegan and vegetarian options right alongside our heartier plates, plus a rotating case of delicious desserts for whenever you have earned a treat. Breakfast runs every morning until noon, so there is no rush to catch it. Comfort here is not just about the food. We are fully accessible, with ramps, seating, and restrooms designed so that getting in and getting settled is easy for everyone. Out back you will find our dog-friendly patio, because a good coffeehouse should welcome your whole crew, four legs included. More than a cafe, we have always thought of ourselves as a gathering place and a home for community. This corner of St. Louis has room for study groups, first dates, activists, artists, parents with strollers, and folks who just want somewhere kind to be. That spirit is baked into everything we do. Find us Tuesday through Sunday from 8 AM to 3 PM. We are closed on Mondays so our team can rest and come back ready to pour you something good. Stop in, grab a cup of Chauvin, and stay a while. You belong here.
