I go to MoJo's during the day at least once a week, and the atmosphere is always warm, friendly, and meeting you where you're at. I'm able to get remote work done and/or just sit and chat with friends. The small, cozy, artsy, community vibes continue into the night here with their live events. The owners have a huge appreciation for & knowledge of music, visual arts, and of course, coffee/espresso! Really feels like home and like anyone and everyone is welcome. And really cool to see/hear local artists & traveling artists getting showcased here. Genuine real deal folks here. Picture is of hojicha latte!

As a retired person, Mojo's Cafe and Gallery is a dream come true! First, the place is very cute and the gallery has some incredible artwork. We like to stop there in the morning for a coffee and delicious treats. But the best part has to be the early nightlife and music. We went there for a 7:00 pm show and had no problem finding a close parking spot. They had light fare and sweet treats as well as high-quality beverages, wine, canned beer, and locally brewed beer on tap. The musicians were fantastic and played for a full two hours. Our group had an absolute ball and will be returning with friends. This is a can't-miss new gem for the city of Troy!

This place is an amazing addition to the Troy music and coffee scene. [05/25: edits below - a reflection after a year of consistent patronage] The ever growing collection of art on the walls spotlights New Orleans artist Frenchy, which matches the music vibes. Update 05/25: There are now consistent rotations of local artists on display throughout the shop. Stroll in for free shows throughout the week or catch the occasional exclusive paid event. Update 05/25: Events are listed on their website and displayed in their front window. Mojo's house coffee is a delicious "Frenchy" roast (darker roast) and their cold brew on nitro is a silky chicory brew. They have an excellent selection of espresso drinks, tea, beer, wine, cider, and various other non-alcoholic options. The snacks are unique in comparison to other shop offerings, including consistent gluten-free options. Update 05/25: From pastries to in-house roasted nuts, Mojo's not only have wonderful beverages, but locally made treats too!

Everything about this cafe is incredible. There are a lot of great coffee spots in Troy but this one is by far my favorite. From the staff, to the coffee, to the food/baked goods. I can’t say enough good things about this place. They truly make you feel so welcomed and take the time to get to you know you. I tell everyone about this spot and they feel the same way. Nicely done to the owners and all the staff!

Tonight was my first visit to MoJo’s Cafe & Gallery. There was an acoustic show featuring 3 delightful singers who played beautifully. The music lasted approximately 3 hours, from 7-10 pm & the cover was a mere $10 per person. The room is cozy & warm feeling, featuring beautiful art on the walls which is for sale. There is also an outdoor patio complete with shade umbrellas, seating, and a welcoming ambiance. MoJo’s Cafe is a wonderful space to enjoy hot & cold drinks, yummy snacks, & live music with friends & friends you have yet to meet.

MoJo’s Cafe and Gallery is continuing to evolve from a cozy espresso cafe to an amazing espresso, wine, beer, and cider cafe with top shelf, (and I mean TOP shelf) live music most nights of the week! Niek and Alana, skilled musicians in their own rights, are masters of this journey, connecting with the area's best musicians as well as tapping into the talents of their well curated, nation-wide music community. Beyond the doors of the modest exterior at 147 4th St, Troy, all who enter will encounter an environment filled with welcoming vibes and creative energy. Enjoy the vibrant artwork, the delicious beverages, and especially, the high-quality music, priced at a "song!" Collect your BFFs and head to MoJo’s!
