Part of the MOTW Coffee & Pastries chain — see all 25 locationsMOTW Coffee & Pastries is a mission-driven coffee shop chain that evolved from the viral "Muslims of the World" Instagram initiative to build physical community spaces celebrating culture and connection. Founded by Sajjad Shah, the "Muslims of the World" page started during a time of high anti-Muslim sentiment to share humanizing personal stories. The entire food menu is certified halal, featuring savory items like butter chicken or beef empanadas and sweet Arabic pastries like baklava and pistachio birdnests.
Staff has given verbal assurance of halal status. MOTW Coffee & Pastries operates as a fully halal cafe chain where the entire menu of specialty drinks, pastries, and savory food is 100% halal.
Bright and spacious cafe. Clean and lots of seating. Peaceful vibe. Great for meeting a friend or getting some work done. Expansive menu - coffee, chai, tea, muffins, and pastries. So far I’ve tried the lemon mousse, chicken empanada, and chamomile tea - all delicious ! Will update as I try their matcha and honeycomb bread.
