The space is so different but so cool compared to what you see out there today. If you’re looking for high quality coffee and tea and excellent customer service this is the place to go!

Wonderful experience. We stopped in while visiting from out of town and the staff were polite and the owner even talked to us about the city and what was going on. My girlfriend loved her latte and the smoothie I had was AMAZING. No need to look further, this is a perfect spot to just sit and chat while enjoying excellent beverage and service.

Ended up with an extra hour in my schedule and thought I’d check Mahala. Had an international coffee and great conversation in a fun relaxing environment! Love all the variety in our area!

Hidden Gem!!!!!
I almost hate to leave a review because I want this place all by myself.
Seriously though this isn’t your average coffee shop. It’s the real deal. If you want great service and a great atmosphere, give it a shot you will not regret it!!!!

Today I experienced Mahala Cafe Bar for the first time. I was meeting to catch up with a friend and was looking for a coffee house with comfortable seating with an atmosphere conducive to private conversation. We were happy to find that all of our needs were met.

Our (quite inexpensive) mocha lattes were carefully and expertly served and the espresso flavor was rich but not overly bitter. The physical accommodations were clean and arranged in a way that allowed its single room environment to still provide entertainment (pool/electronic darts/large screen sports) as well as private conversation.

After three hours of conversation my friend and I left thoroughly satisfied with our experience.

The coffee and espresso is absolutely delicious. The owner is so friendly, and the vibes are so cool. This is such a safe place for coffee lovers like myself! They are open until 10pm and the prices are fantastic. There is even a kid area, 10 out of 10.

Excellent espresso and hard to beat their service and friendliness! Though Mahala has been around for 7 years or so, it is not well known. But it should be! The couple times I have been for espresso left me knowing I need to return 👌, and I’m looking forward to trying their Turkish coffee! Also, they clearly strive to make this a place where slowing down and taking time to socialize is encouraged, and that starts with how they treat you when you walk in the door. Head over there and bring others with you! It may look or feel different from your neighborhood coffee shop, but don’t let that keep you away!

I needed a place this morning with great coffee. Mahala Cafe Bar exceeded expectations! Their authentic Bosnian (Turkish) coffee is just what you need to start your day. The owner was there and is the nicest guy. He truly cares about his establishment and your experience and while there. I will be making this my coffee spot whenever I’m in town.
