MochaBlend Espresso Bar

The espresso was excellent. The breakfast sandwich was also very good.
I always try to support the local coffee shops on my travels. They are becoming more scarce as the chain takes over. I'm hoping that I just caught mocha blend on a bad morning. The attitude from the staff was cold, negative, and not welcoming. I was the only customer and watched the backs of both baristas for a few minutes before having my order taken. This was in stark contrast to the bright, peppy welcome I received at the Starbucks, down the street in Troy. Also, oddly, they didn't know what a macchiato was. I will give it to them though, they did a great job making it once I explained what it was. I also received some attitude when trying to pay with a credit card. I did then order a sandwich to meet their minimum, but after paying, the woman that was working with me just walked out of the shop. I was left wondering if there was someone making my sandwich.
In conclusion... I would go back because their espresso is great. Better than Starbucks, no doubt. I just hope I catch them on a better day with a more welcoming attitude.

The food and drinks are good every time. Great place to have coffee and read. The atmosphere isn’t what I would usually gravitate towards but I go often because it’s great anyway

Mocha blend is amazing.
Opens up early, So peaceful! Yummy warm cookies, muffins,biscotti and wraps.

The worst coffee ever. Soup was not a bisque at all. Watery chicken stock with pumpkin chunks. Gross. A wrap should not be put into a panini press. Heated on a grill. This was the worst. Made with yellow cheese sauce. It was supposed to be a ranch chicken sandwich. Nasty. 11 dollars of disgusting food. Do yourself a favor and leave your money in your pocket.

It’s not hard to be nice. And if you’re not going to be nice, then your coffee better be good.

2012 Update: this has changed since ownership changed. Lovely lady but operations are a bit clunky and slow w/o additional hands helping. I'd personally be OK with it closing for a week to do a reset as long as it was announced ahead of time.

I am not a coffee nut but the atmosphere of this place and the taste is mmm mmm good!

The sandwiches are made fresh and come out HOT.

Was voted best coffee, sandwiches, lunch spot, and soups in 2009. Could be in the running for at least coffee and sandwiches this year.

Good food, slightly expensive, but not terribly so. That being said, they lose MAJOR points for being only open until 3PM on most days (the exception being Friday). I hope they'll see this review and consider being open until at least 5PM, as the short hours fails to fill a need in eastern troy for good coffee in the evening.

Great coffee. Nice people.

Best Coffee around all Troy. Nice and quiet enviorment. Very healthy selection of flavors... and the homemade scones are amazing!! Love this place. Highly recommended!

Great food, service and atmosphere! Nice place for breakfast or lunch. Their coffee and panini are the best. You won't be disappointed!
