It is one of the great coffee shops with outstanding views. The good thing is they have indoor and outdoor seats in which some people would enjoy the Spring when taking their coffee break. However, it somehow centered in a traffic street. People may conceder, planning ahead of their visit. Nevertheless, their cold coffee drinks are unusual, as they are one of the best I ever tasted.

Limited offering. Coffee product was great. Milk steamed perfectly. Would like more dessert options- had assumed more were available.
This place is small, but the food is packed with flavor. I’m a huge fan of the breakfast croissant and the coffee is so smooth and refreshing my wife put me on, but I’ve been the one to make an excuse to have breakfast here every chance I get! With many restaurants packed into the Mosaic, this one is placed neatly in the middle and adds to the diverse richness that is the Mosaic District.
Other than the name there isn’t anything mom-and-pop about this spot. Mom-and-pop shops are single location businesses having mom and pop on the premises operating the daily business. Though the space is small it is in the heart of high traffic, upscale, Mosaic District. It appears to me Mom & Pop has an excellent gross sales per square foot ratio. Good for them (owners). I have passed by and passed up trying their product until late last week checking it out of curiosity. I was not particularly impressed by their coffee. The croissant I ordered to go with the coffee was, in my opinion and to my taste, outstanding. It was fresh, flaky and buttery. All goods and services in the MD are pricy which is largely driven by real estate values. That component of overhead factored into pricing hits you in the receipt. Though I think Mom & Pop is over the top in that department. It is fair, I believe, to compare M&P with nearby Le Pain Quotidien, located in the same real estate cost zone, a short walk from M&P and also serving similar fare in the same quality ballpark. The price comparison for my identical order at LPQ is 24% less. I particularly like the Mies van der Rohe/Bauhaus architecture of this small shop.
I'm officially a convert to Mom & Pop for coffee! They make a mocha that rivals any other coffee shop I've tried. Rich flavor and smooth texture make for a happy customer. Perhaps my only critique is that the drinks do require patience, especially when visiting on weekends. They get quite busy.
