About MochaBox Coffee

MochaBox introduces the rich traditions of Yemeni coffee, tea, and pastries to the heart of West Asheville. Inspired by the historic coastal city of Mocha—once a global center for coffee exports—our café celebrates centuries-old flavors through authentic recipes, imported roasts, and handcrafted drinks unlike anything else in the area.

More Than a Coffee Shop

MochaBox is a hybrid café offering a full dining menu alongside our coffee and tea program. Guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner dishes—from burgers and wraps to smoothies and fresh-squeezed juices—all served in a bright, newly renovated dining room with two service bars and plenty of room to relax.

Whether you’re curious about Yemeni coffee traditions or searching for your new favorite local café, MochaBox invites you to discover bold flavors, warm hospitality, and a taste of something truly different.

Our Story

We saw a unique opportunity to share the flavors and hospitality of our home region with Asheville’s vibrant food and coffee community. Drawn to the mountain landscape that echoed the terrain we grew up in, we wanted to create a place that honors Yemeni heritage while welcoming all cultures.
