Architecture

The architecture of the building exudes a cozy charm of hardwood interior, harmoniously blended with a sleek solarpunk aesthetic. The exterior features large windows that invite natural light to flood the space. Inside, the warm-toned walls are adorned with custom-built shelves overflowing with a mix of knick-knacks, artful decor, and an extensive collection of books that beckon to be explored.
The tables scattered throughout the main area are designed with the reader in mind—generously sized to accommodate not just coffee cups but also open books. Along the perimeter, smaller tables provide a cozy setting and are thoughtfully equipped with cubbyholes in the walls, a perfect place for books.
Sparsed throughout the upper loft above the barista's counter are a few thoughtfully placed Bakewell tart-scented candles, their sweet, almond notes melding with the aroma of mochas and freshly brewed coffee. These candles contribute to the café's warm, welcoming atmosphere, enhancing the sense of tranquility that envelops the space and encouraging customers to linger a little longer.

History

The owner of the café envisioned a warm and inviting space where patrons could enjoy the comforting embrace of a delicious mocha alongside the delicate sweetness of mochi. After an extensive search, she discovered a charming location that possessed the perfect blend of ambiance and potential. With great enthusiasm, she purchased the property and embarked on a transformation, carefully designing the interior to reflect her vision of a cozy retreat.
In addition to her passion for mochas and confections, she harbored a deep love for literature. To share this with her customers, she created a small library within the café, adorning the walls and each table with a diverse assortment of books. This collection invites patrons to lose themselves in a story while enjoying their treats.
Moreover, she fostered a sense of community by encouraging her customers to participate in her unique initiative: leaving behind a favorite book for others to discover. This exchange not only added to the café’s charm but also cultivated a welcoming atmosphere where conversations about literature could bloom over steaming cups of mocha and delectable mochi delights.

Trivia

Mochi's Mocha is named after a fellow Anvilite, Mochi, and was created as a punishment for making a dad joke at Nulcheck, who responded to their joke with: "That's it, I'm adding "Mochi's Mocha" as a place in my world. Your punishment for that joke is being a part of my dumb thing."

The name initially came from Nulcheck's phone autocorrecting Mochi's name to "Mocha," and he mentioned it sounded like a good name for a cafe.
