I visited Mocha Java, a coffee shop that has
been in business since 1995. This coffee shop is located at 3 Eastern Ave in
Dedham, mass. I have never been here before but it was recommended from friends
who had lived in the area. The atmosphere is very relaxed, clean, comfortable
and warm.
Today is a rainy Friday afternoon around 12pm and
there is steady business with a few customers lounging. The baristas are very
friendly, talking to customers along with customers sitting and doing work,
talking with friends and relaxing. The type of customers seem to be mid
thirties to fifties, men and women equally. This might have to do with the time
of day though, as a high school is right near by but kids are in class now so
it might be busier once they get out for the day. As a few customers are
seated, most others are just getting their drinks to go, which seems they might
be on a lunch break.
The shop has a pretty good variety of coffees,
including signature lattes. These include caramel, butternut crunch, love
potion, junior minty mocha and other unique flavors.
