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.

We were fortunate to move to town on MOTW’s opening weekend and it has remained one of our family’s favorites! The quality of the coffee and food is unmatched for the area and has us coming back time and time again. The staff is always super kind and courteous. All of that being said, I wish the owner would provide more support for their staff especially on weekday mornings. It’s simply too much for one person which results in long wait times despite the efforts of the one person working. I’ve noticed the lightbulbs above the bar have needed replaced for some time, the tv menus are rarely working, and the bathroom simply needs more attention (again weekday mornings). We love this place and will continue to come in but only if we have plenty of time to wait. To the owner, you have such a wonderful place and business please don’t let it be the forgotten middle child of your shops!
