The best coffee in Goa!!! If you are into coffee and looking for a good flat white or cold brew, MO’s is seriously the best place! It is consistently good, never burnt, smooth and latte art is on point. They also serve delicious artisan food and desserts are very unique. Chicken sausages are to die for! Do try their apple pie and chocolate sea salt cookies for dessert :)

A hidden gem in the heart of Fontainhas! A great place to spend a rainy afternoon in Goa - enjoy a cup of great coffee with something sweet, I bet the breakfast’s awesome, too, but we didn’t get the chance to try that out. The indoor’s AC’d if you prefer that but you can sit on a terrace in the shadow (under the roof) with a lot of greenery and enter a local production shop from there. Definitely recommend

Mo’s Café is truly a hidden gem in the heart of Goa! Tucked away in a quiet corner of the central city, this cozy little spot instantly charms you with its warm atmosphere and thoughtfully designed aesthetics. The space may be small, but every detail — from the décor to the lighting — has been curated beautifully. The coffee is absolutely top-notch, rich and aromatic, perfect for a peaceful morning or an afternoon catch-up. And the food? Simply outstanding — not just in taste but also in presentation. Every plate that came to the table looked like a work of art and tasted just as incredible. Whether you’re a local or a traveller, Mo’s is the kind of place you’ll want to keep coming back to. A must-recommend for anyone looking to experience soulful food and great vibes in Goa.

This is more than a cafe, it’s a community. I am seriously in love with this cafe. The food is out of this world delicious, and all made with sustainably sourced ingredients. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and will make you feel welcome. I have been three times and have had the Spicy Mushroom Soba, the Egg Salad Sandwich, the Classic Breakfast, and the Mango Coconut Chia Pudding. Everything was divine. You cannot go wrong here
