Speciality coffee brand Mokafé Coffee House has bolstered its US presence by opening a new store in Queens, New York.

The Queens venue offers guests a coffee range prepared using single-origin speciality beans sourced from smaller farms in Yemen and Guatemala.

Mokafé co-founder Alvaro stated: “The grand opening ceremony was a jubilant affair, marking the commencement of an era where coffee is not merely a beverage but an experiential delight.

“Mokafé Coffee House unfolds as a sanctuary where the soul of coffee, steeped in the terroir of Yemen and Guatemala, is meticulously curated into a diverse range of brews.”

The chain also offers freshly baked goods such as sandwiches, croissants, muffins and cookies, and the Yemeni delicacy, sabayah, paired with Yemeni tea, adeni chai.

Mokafé Coffee House co-founder Luis stated: “Queens deserves a coffee experience that transcends expectations. Mokafé Coffee House is not just about brewing exceptional coffee; it's about creating a space where the soul of coffee mingles with the spirit of our community.

“In the heart of Queens, Mokafé Coffee House stands as a testament to Mokafé's dedication to sourcing the finest beans, creating unique brews and fostering a coffee culture that resonates with the diverse palates of the people of New York.

“Mokafé is more than a brand; it's a journey through the rich traditions of Yemen and Guatemala. With their coffee house in Queens, they have made this journey accessible to one and all."

Adoption of robotics in foodservice is at a nascent stage

The role of robotics is less sure-footed in the foodservice sector. Automating kitchens and meal service is less easily done with robots than automating warehouses and production lines, although this hasn’t deterred start-ups’ efforts to automate burger flipping and meal delivery with robots and drones. Robots improve profitability in the long term but have high up-front costs, so investing in robotics is not without risks.
