Moka Bros

Beijing

LoginSave

A Beijing original, Moka's hipster combo of brunch food, Edison bulb lighting and subway tile walls muralled by Plastered 8 has seen this mini-chain extend to Shanghai and Chengdu. Wraps, salads, power bowls and smoothies offer respite after a heavy night on the Peking duck. Equally adept at coffee and cake, Moka's 4pm to 8pm happy hour also makes it a decent place to start your night.

Breakfast is served until 10.30am. This is the original location; another good branch is located in the Place shopping centre.
