Friendly and amazing customer service. Great food at a very good price. The patio is very enjoyable with frequent musicians. This restaurant uses fresh produce that tastes so good. My wife and I enjoy this hidden jem as often as we can.
We love to sit outdoors in the summer and the patio here attracted us! We were concerned about Mosquitos since our RV camp had many, but was delighted to see netting on the open ceiling! To get a patio table on a Wed eve was challenging. Thank goodness Trip Advisor reviews recommended reservations, especially for the patio.

Tonight was my hubby's birthday and a friend of mine recently purchased this restaurant so we thought we would try it. I have lived in Lethbridge for many many years and never tried the place. What was I thinking! My God! I had the meatloaf and hubby had the Tequila Lime Chicken. Both were phenomenal. Veggies just right, my roasted... more
A group of us were only in lethbridge for the night and I looked around and found this place. It is a hidden gem, set back slightly from the beaten trail it is a great restaurant with amazing staff, great food and love music that actually is enjoyable! I would highly recommend stopping here if you want a good meal!
When my husband saw meatloaf and mashed potatoes on the menu, he couldn't resist. His dinner was every bit as down-home delectable as it sounded, with the bonus of delicately battered but spicy onion rings. My tequila-lime chicken breast wasn't one of those dried-out breasts you're sorry you ordered, and while not in quite the same league as the meatloaf... more
Let me just say I LOVE this place. During my stay in Lethbridge (3 weeks) I ate here over 5 times if not more. The services great, food was excellent and if you are there for their tapas and wine nights even better. They have imported bears, delicious desert and everything I did order was delicious. They have a patio... more
I ate two meals here during my stay in Lethbridge, one dinner, one breakfast, The food was extremely tasty! Staff professional. service good. On Friday night a nice band was playing and it was a nice mellow sound -- not too intrusive. Seems a popular place and I'd definitely go back when in Lethbridge again.
Our daughter has expressed how great this restaurant is for years. Finally while in Lethbridge this past weekend we were able to enjoy it with her and our other children.
Visitors to Lethbridge really need to look this place up and give it a try its centrally located in the downtown area,
There is a live musician most weekends, which...

We dropped in at this place for a quick lunch meal on Sunday. We were craving for some soup but Sunday is the only day when they do not serve it. Bigger meals are available from 5 pm only, so we went for wraps and Thai salad. Veggie and salmon wraps were really delicious, though salad was not good. We... more
Great restaurant and service. Lot's of people eating, so make sure and get a reservation. Eight people in our party, and they had a table ready when we arrived. Good selection of food, and everyone said theirs was great.
Also had a guitar player in the corner. Not too loud, but very good music.
Just back from a holiday to Alberta to visit our son who took us to this restaurant which is one of his favourites and now one of ours too,.... and so good we went again during our visit. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and very friendly staff serving the most delicious food from an extensive menu and the best... more
Love the food and service. The bathroom could be improved a lot, hard to flush well the toilet, not enough water, in a restaurant is a shame... more
Found this restaurant on trip advisor and decided to check it out. Very impressed by they food sourcing! Nice to find a restaurant that cares about the food they are feeding you! Friendly waitress, excellent food and clean bathrooms! We will be eating here again!
I try to stop in here every time I travel to Lethbridge. My family and I are vegetarian, so we really appreciate the many vegetarian options on the menu. They have one of the best (and messiest) home-made vegetarian burgers I've ever had. They also have vegetarian appetizers like "Tofu Bites" and pastas like "Butternut Squash Raviolli". I've tried many... more
You can either sit outside (in the summer) or inside. The food is very very good, and they even have healthy choices. The service is fast and efficient, and the price is affordable.
Live music, fantastic food, liaisons with the community AND pajama parties??! I had the salmon. It was fantastic.
This historic building is a local artsy hub run by amazing women. I love how they take apprentice chefs from the local culinary program. The food shows it. So nice for such a medium sized town to have an establishment like this....

Excellent food and service. They are conscious about local sources and explain where they get a lot of their food from. Good gluten free selection and tons of different drinks.
Mocha is a wonderful place - cozy and welcoming - great coffee and great food! And tons of vegetarian and gluten free options. I go there often and love it every time!
This is one of my favourite restaurants! The food is amazing and the service is great! Should Try!!!
On Friday evenings there is a band playing live music, great to enjoy, kids were dancing. We also had a lot of time to enjoy, because the kitchen was a little behind, so we had to wait for our food.
Luckily our friendly servant asked them to make the kids menus a little quicker, otherwise we'd have had a problem....

We love going to this restaurant, food is excellent, fresh, good quality, good service, and we love the patio in the summer.... more
We had our son's wedding reception at the Mocha Cabana outdoor patio in September. What a really nice place for the event. They let us add to the decor and supply table decorations which they set up. Nice place settings and little veggie snacks as a welcome. The meal was quite large and very tasty (i had the chicken )... more
Tried Mocha Cabana for a late weekday lunch. Since it was ~3pm, the place was pretty empty. I had a BLT with fresh buffalo mozza and a house salad (~$16, which I think is high for a salad and sandwich). The sandwich was good, but the bacon was a bit on the salty side and I didn't feel particularly full... more
I have never been disappointed by Mocha Cabana! Amazing food, great prices, great service and friendly staff. I'm always very happy with everything I order - and the vegetarian and gluten free options are just great. Love that they use local produce! The covered patio is fantastic.
Often order for staff meetings and they are quick, never miss any items,...

Came to Lethbridge on my own and asked a local for a recommendation. As I was only due to be here for a couple of days I didn't want to take a chance on a good place to eat.
The outside is a bit offputting until you find out that the building used to be as a blacksmiths and was...

I have enjoyed this restaurant a number of times dining both indoors and out. Weather permitting the patio is lovely, inside is quaint and cozy. The menu offers a good selection and there are evening dinner specials. Mocha Cabana excels at desserts and fresh baking - just check out the counter. Service has always been good and the staff are... more
Had dinner here while in Lethbridge. It was a Saturday night and the restaurant was packed luckily we did have a reservation. There was entertainment - a one man band which we did enjoy. We ordered Salsa & the Homemade chips for an appetizer to share. This is not an appetizer I would order again as the chips were greasy... more
Found the atmosphere as good or better than the food. Apparently this was once a blacksmith shop and has now been converted to a restaurant. A charming little place that serves up fresh food and friendly service. They also mentioned they try to source locally for everything possible which was an added plus.
Imaginative menu, fresh ingredients, well prepared. The artichoke dip is to die for - homebaked corn chips make it even better. Lovely cheesecake for dessert.
The choices are by far what sets this restaurant appart from others...especially in downtown Lethbridge. I also enjoy the pastries. uusually we stop there on saturday's and have always been greeted warmly. The foods are prepared just right for our tastes and the portions are ample. The amiance makes this truly a comfortable place to relax and enjoy the meals.
I had lunch at Mocha Cabana on 9th May and it was excellent...a large Greek salad topped with chicken. All of the vegetables were fresh from the local greenhouse (Broxburn) and the chicken was nicely cooked.
The coffee is good and the desserts and cookies are all baked in house and are scrumptious.
The service is always friendly and efficient...

We've gone here about5 times now - and it's always so consistently great. Deserves 5 stars!
Definitely our go to Lethbridge hangout, have to go there at least once every time we're down there.
Excellent choice for an awesome meal!! Food, ambiance, quality is all top notch. I love this restaurant and I am a frequent visitor of it while I am in Lethbridge. They also have an amazing selection for Celiacs or Gluten free diets....likely the best I have ever come across.
We ate supper here. Being vegetarian, was very surprised at the amount of choices available. My tablemates had traditional meals like the squash tortellini and the beef dip, one with a lovely in house salad and the other with the nostalgic home fries. Both looked very yummy. The tortellini was perfect for the senior at the table with a browned... more
The food is better than average, but there isn't much of it, you spend $20.00 on a meal and leave hungry!
The service is good, atmosphere nice and unique, and food delicious. I had their squash ravioli and I wasn't sure about it at first, but it was surprisingly amazing.I have never had a meal here I didn't like, and the cheese cake is the best I've ever had.
Loved the quaint atmosphere of the restaurant and it had a very European feel to it. The service was very good and the staff very friendly. Our meals were all excellent and nice tasting. The restaurant was very busy on Valentine's day and the only complaint I have was the food was not served hot it was just warm and... more
We went to Mocha Cabana for Valentines Day. We had a 7 pm reservation. WE arrived and were seated promptly. The first thing I noticed is the abundance of fake plants and 80's decor. We waited and waited and within 10 minutes we were served, the restaurant was nearly full with people at various stages of dining. 5 minuets after... more
In my opinion it is very hard to find a god place to eat in Lethbridge, especially if you are a vegetarian, and for that I recommend Mocha Cabanas. I like the atmosphere, the food is tasty and the Patio is a delight. So if you are a Vegeterian go here you will be happy.
Nice and friendly. Deservedly popular with the locals. The staff is fast and very helpful. The menu is pretty big, with lots of choices for meat and veggie lovers. If you don't order any other beverage, you get ice water for free.
Been there for lunch and were very happy after having eaten a wrap each!
Intimate setting, personable, friendly staff. Great salads and chicken wraps, soups. Covered outdoor patio with blankets and firepit for cool day dining.
Saturday evening, had a half litre of Argentinian Malbec and the Chef's Prix Fixe menu, available until 9 pm, according to the menu. In this case a trio of appetizers, a Vietnamese-style beef stew and a mango and honey soup with sticky rice dumplings for desert. $42 each before taxes and tip, but that was for three courses - the... more
My family loves the Mocha! It has something for everyone! I love the way the Mocha offeres a variety of choices for vegitarians and people with different types of allergies! They really care about their customers! Will definately be going back!
We love to eat at Mocha Cabana, first of all because the food and the "real cappucino" ( not the sweet stuff) is good and second, because it make us feel like we are in a place in europe (France, Italy, Spain). It's a nice and relaxing place. They have a lot going on to, like live entertainment. Just check... more
best fresh food in the city, Great atmosphere and service! I go here all the time and i have never been disappointed!
I would recommend the Mocha Cabana if you want an outstanding breakfast that out of the ordinary. You can order a basic breakfast, or try one of the chef creations. The Banana Bread French Toast was amazing, very light, and extremely tasty.
I stopped here on my way back to Calgary and tried the Court House Veggie Burger with the yam fries. The burger was pretty good for a homemade burger patty. The portion of yam fries was huge. Perhaps a little too huge!
The restaurant area is pretty large with lots of tables and in mid afternoon it was pretty dead. I'm sure it can get pretty busy with all the university students at peak hours.

My wife and I stopped for supper on Friday night and were absolutely delighted with the experience. The service was very good. We ordered a Thai Chicken Wrap and a Steak. The chicken wrap was very good and my wife said the steak was one of the best she has ever had! The atmosphere was great. A real, live musician... more
This place is chill and very Mellow. The Scrambles are awesome, you can pretty much order anything on the breakfast menu and it's all great. Service is friendly and quick, if ur in the middle of nowhere outside of Calgary, this is the spot.
After a long search for a restaurant in the city center, we found this charming restaurant.
The staff is very friendly, and the food is both varied and original.
A very good discovered, recommended for tourists who want things other than dishes.
Had a great lunch complete with a pitcher of Sangria on a walled outdoor patio.
Would go back and try dinner if I am ever back to Lethbridge.
Great food! Definitely will eat there again, and take friends to eat there as well!
I've been numerous times, the breakfast is soso at best, but dinner is fantastic, especially if you go on weekends for their special chef inspiration meals. Each week it's different and the chefs try to use local ingredients to make unique dishes. The courtyard in the back is charming and it's a great date restaurant!
Wow, the wait was absurd. We were seated quickly, but from then on we sat waiting, in fact, everyone seemed to be sitting around waiting to eat. The food was good, but not great and certainly not worth the wait.
Very good, the food is delicious and always tasty. The only thing that stopped from getting 5 stars is that the food does take awhile to come, even when it's not busy. But overall, I love coming here.
I love having a cute little non-chain restaurant in Lethbridge to frequent when I'm there visiting my parents, especially since, as a vegan, I can actually eat a decent meal. While most of the restaurants in Lethbridge will offer me a side salad, fries, and nothing else, Mocha Cabana offers up delicious fried tofu bites with sweet chili dipping sauce, veganized sandwiches, cheeseless pizzas,... more
Breakfast at Mocha is a relaxing experience. Quiet surroundings, ample newspapers, hot coffee and the most friendly staff to greet you.
Evening dining is prepared by graduates from the culinary program at the College and are tasty. As well you will find they strive to give you a eating experience by putting together dishes you will not find in other establishments in town. Great wine selection...

Excellent breakfast and decor. Historical building good tunes, nice place.
What a fabulous restaurant! Out of town visitor from Edmonton. 8 of us had a great meal in their courtyard Saturday night. Fabulous local organic ingredients in the set meal (pork honey, cheese, produce).
If you're visiting Lethbridge don't miss this restaurant. Great food, atmosphere, service (I think it was Jared) and entertainment (James Oldenburg). What more could you want.
It really made...

Great atmosphere, great staff, great food. All in all, Mocha is one of my favourite spots in Lethbrige.
We dropped by Sunday for a late breakfast - got a nice tour of the patio - which was too wet from the previous night's rain, so we sat inside. Great, personable service. The food and coffee were excellent. I think I paid $30 for a filling breakfast for 2 and I hope we go back to try out supper next time I'm in Lethbridge. Really fresh, tasty food. And good value.
Atmosphere is good, food is good and service is fast,nice size of restaurant and patio is great. Only problem is they should change the variety of rice they are now serving. June 2007. The staff are friendly but not over bearing which is great. Thc chef is cute too.
