This is a great place for live music, especially on a Friday or Saturday evening, even Sunday morning.
If you're going for the Internet connection, I find it frustrating and hit or miss. Baked goods are just so so. If they improved the Internet connection, I'd give it more stars. Right now I'm too frustrated about the Internet to say more about the music.
Great place to get coffee in Shelburne Falls!!! I love their cold water extract iced coffee. It really packs a punch that lasts through the day!
One star missing because there are not enough food options. Would love something a little more substantial then just baked items and bagels.
Ok coffee shop, lousy selection of pastries, very noisy when using their blender. Good music, no atmosphere. Uncomfortable, they still use the furniture from when it was a Subway shop. They have a beer and wine license, but I don't want alcohol in a coffee shop. The only advantage Mocha Maya's has is that it is the only coffee shop in town. Coffee Roasters on the Mohawk Trail is a much better bet.
Review Source:Good coffee, really slow service (but hey, I'd be slower, probably, and scalding customers). Partner threw away the bottom of a mocha, said it was all syrup, but me, I liked it. Unfortunately there were loud, annoying patrons hanging, spouting off at podium decibel levels, but ah well, then you walk down and gaze at the potholes or walk across the bridge of flowers.
Review Source:Mocha Maya's is to coffeehouses what the Bull and Finch Pub in "Cheers" was, allegedly, to bars: the place where everybody knows your name. Â It does an excellent job at everything that a coffeehouse is supposed to do: Â coffee and espresso beverages, baked goods, a wide variety of teas, and a great selection of the cold stuff (you can do a whole lot worse than a lemonade slushy or a frozen hot chocolate on a hot summer day). Â It's got free wifi and a small but eclectic selection of books. Â It has entertainment, from nationally known musical acts to poetry readings to a drop-in Celtic jam on Sundays.
But where Mocha Maya's really excels is the vibe. Â It's a nerve center for people who use Mocha Maya's to connect in all kinds of ways. Â On any given day, you may see a landscaper come in looking for coffee and a couple of guys to work a job for him, a crowd of people just come from a yoga class sitting down for a chat, a couple of telecommuting professionals collaborating on a project, or friends and acquaintances running into each other and stopping to talk. Â Visitors may be surprised at how easily they're drawn into conversation with complete strangers, and end up leaving Mocha Maya's with much more than the coffee that they came in for. Â If you're visiting the area and aren't sure what you want to do, just go to Mocha Maya's and ask, "What's fun to do around here?" Â You'll get plenty of opinions, directions and advice on the area's best -- which definitely includes Mocha Maya's.
Despite their independently roasted, Fair Trade certified, and Kosher coffee, I don't drink the Joe so ordered a smoothie during a recent pit stop off Route 2 in western Massachusetts.
The 100% fruit and non-dairy smoothie was delicious and exactly what I needed for the hot summer's day.
Evident by their MySpace page linked above, Mocha Maya's is home to numerous musicians who play during nights or weekend afternoons. There is definitely enough space, and it's homey space that you would feel comfortable socializing with friends or people watching while enjoying your drink and noshing on a baked good, too.
