Description

Open till midnight everyday of the week, MoKaBe's is a South Grand mainstay that tends to be crowded throughout the day, and most nights. Their menu provides a variety of choices beyond the standard coffeehouse fare, including salads and small bites, sandwiches and burgers, and plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. MoKaBe's also offers Sunday brunch from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

2008 | Best Burger (Non-Beef Division)

Every once in a while, just about any vegetarian craves meat: hot dogs, hamburgers, even -- gasp! -- beef jerky. Said vegetarians are thankful for MoKaBe's housemade veggie burger. Sure, lots of joints offer veggie burgers these days -- gritty patties so dry they fall apart with each bite or made with a random mix of grains that taste like a grilled rice cake. MoKaBe's burger is the real deal. While the flecks of carrot may make skeptics smirk, one bite confirms that here the... More »
2005 | Best Coffeehouse

The last time we were in MoKaBe's, in the dead middle of a too-hot Thursday, a couple began an impromptu waltz. He was all feet and good intentions; she added a step-breaking shimmy to the proceedings and laughed. Everyone around watched, giggling into their coffee cups. The midday waltz was a funny sight, but not at all out of place at MoKaBe's, where friends play board games, students pour over Paradise Lost or the Atlas of Human Anatomy, and cute girls flip through free weeklies....

2002 | Best Weekend Brunch

Brunch -- the mysterious meal between the breakfast dessert and the lunch appetizer, the bridge that connects the morning's gluttony with the noon's regret and invites the afternoon's foreboding. And yet, for all its glory, the eternal St. Louis unanswerable: Why the hell is it so hard to get a decent goddamn brunch here Yeah, there are OK places, but where most other cities have an abundance of neighborhood breakfast spots -- and, as we'll all agree, breakfast is the best meal ever...

2000 | Best Scrambled Tofu

It's Sunday morning, and once again your thoughts drift fondly toward soy products. The media is swamped with reports of how this wunderbean prevents or alleviates practically any malady against which it is pitted, and you've been meaning to crank up your personal intake to the recommended "three servings a day" (whatever that is). But there's a small problem with soybeans: They taste like soybeans. That's why we suggest you consume them in the form of Patrice Mari's scrambled tofu. A staple... More »

Every once in a while, just about any vegetarian craves meat: hot dogs, hamburgers, even � gasp! � beef jerky. Said vegetarians are thankful for MoKaBe's housemade veggie burger. Sure, lots of joints offer veggie burgers these days � gritty patties so dry they fall apart with each bite or made with a random mix of grains that taste like a grilled rice cake. MoKaBe's burger is the real deal. While the flecks of carrot may make skeptics smirk, one bite confirms that here the veggie burger has evolved. Onion and pepper add to the subtle yet satisfying burger flavor. Pickles and onion come on the side for those wanting the full burger experience. The burger costs $5.75 and comes with chips, or you can pay $1 more for fries.
