Morochas Cafe

Arepa vegana is so good! Gluten free too gives you great energy and absolutely delicious. Also good coffee and espresso here. This is my first google review and honestly this place was too good not to share!

very delicious food. I will come again

Handmade, really good. The guy working there was so nice. Great spot!

i had the best time going to Morochas Cafe! Honestly, the BEST empanadas I’ve ever had. It was almost an addiction. I’d order one empanada de carne, next thing you know, i was on my fourth one! Esteban is so friendly, and very attentive. I also tried his passion fruit juice and arepa de queso, which was delicious! Can’t wait for the next time i visit NY, so i can eat the gummiest empanadas.

Cannot wait to go back! I had a pabellón arepa, a chicken empanada, a beef empanada and a passion fruit juice. The pabellón arepa was too good! I don’t really eat arepas (I’m a bad Venezuelan, oops) but I couldn’t resist because pabellón is my favorite. The shredded beef in this arepa was great, it wasn’t tough to eat and it was full of flavor. The empanada, which was actually a pastelito is made in the oven. I told the owner, Esteban, that they are pastelitos, not empanadas, he told me it’s easier for non-hispanics to have an idea of what the item on the menu is if described as an empanada which made sense to me. The chicken in the pastelito is shredded, these pastelitos are pretty darn tasty! I wasn’t a huge fan of the beef one but it was alright too. I’m definitely looking forward to more chicken “empanadas” haha. The passion fruit juice is always a fave for me because it reminds me of back home. Very refreshing I really enjoyed this little restaurant. They recently celebrated their first anniversary, I wish them many more ☺️ The owner is super friendly, so Venezuelan. There is limited seating, only about 3 stools and a table by the window, which I guess is fun for people watching :p I love that they show some of their menu items on their Instagram, I hope they add more photos and videos. It’s always helpful for people who are trying food from another country for the first time to see photos. Oh! There is also a lady who makes custom cakes and cookies here, Sweethaze cakes but I did not try any of them. Very pretty cakes, you can check them out on Instagram Vegetarian options: There is a vegan arepa on the menu.

The Gato was a seriously delicious little arepa. Such a cute cafe with really lovely service.

Esteban and his food is amazing!! Delicious delicious Venezuelan food.

Amazing. Live in the area so came back this afternoon and the owner is so sweet, he’s extremely talented and the food is truly divine. The empanadas and arepas are both amazing, and so is the tea that he recommended to me. :)

Love the arepas here, they're made fresh and a good size. Just one is filling, my favorite is the Reyna.
