Mocha Mocha Cafe

I am not too familiar with the restaurants on the Danforth. I do love visiting this part of the city. Every block has numerous restaurants. Most offer Greek food and I know many are very good. I was meeting my friend Wendy for a light lunch. We wanted a cafe atmosphere and light food. Mocha Mocha is a popular neighborhood spot offering tasty and nutritious food. I liked the casual warm atmosphere. You place your order at the counter and the food is delivered to your table. Everything looked so appealing and fresh. Wendy opted for a bowl of fresh Fruit with Yogurt. It looked so good and she obviously enjoyed her choice. I ordered Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon.($8.99) The eggs were perfectly cooked. There was a lot of smoked salmon and was delicious. It was a delightful brunch and kept me full until dinner time.

There are many salads listed. Avocado Salad Plate offers half an avocado, mixed greens, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers and egg.($7.95) Warm Brown Rice Salad is a healthy combination of brown rice, black eyed peas, black mushrooms and ginger on a bed of mixed greens, carrots, cabbage and tomato.($8.35)

Many of the patrons were enjoying a sandwich. They certainly looked tasty. Bagel with Cream Cheese and Lox is served with capers and onions.($7.75) Spicy chick Pea-guacamole is served in a pita with mixed greens and vegetables.($6.80)

Crepes offer a delightful nutritious lunch. Vegetable Mozzarella is a crepe filled with eggplant, mushrooms, green onions, peppers, zucchini, mozzarella and tomato sauce.($8.95) Ham, Cheese tomato Avocado is $9.25.

If you want something a little more substantial there are several entrees on the menu. Vegetarian Lasagna is served with a salad and organic toast.($10.25) Tuna Potato Cake is prepared with spicy tuna, potato and vegetable patty with sour cream.($7.50) The East African Chicken Stew is served with rice and salad.($11.50)

The Cookies and Squares are on display at the counter. They looked very appealing. Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt is also popular for dessert.

The restaurant is open from 9:00a.m. until 9:00p.m. It was so refreshing to visit a restaurant with so many choices of healthy lighter fare. We arrived early and the place was comfortably filled. By the time we left it was completely filled. There were Moms with their carriages, business people and good friends like us just enjoying good food and great company.
