MOTW Coffee and Pastries

"I have tried 2 branches of MOTW in the last 4 days and I can safely say their standards and consistency are the same across any branch. Locally owned by owner Sajjad - his mission is coffee with a purpose to change the perceptions of Muslims one step at a time. The social media has a huge social presence which has now grown into an Indy coffee spot with 5 branches currently and 1 more opening up soon in Chicago. MOTW vibe is spacious, simple and easy. There’s no loud music, no crazy lines and it’s good, fresh coffee quickly at your disposal and productive meetings happening in the coffee shop which I truly liked. I spent a little over 30 minutes and got a lot done, that itself spoke about the ambience. The Americano and date bar needed no introduction. Perfect and absolutely amazing combination. If you haven’t tried MOTW, you definitely should. Also, this is the only branch which has a drive through option for anyone who needs quick coffee in the colder weather days"

"Absolutely love this place and the vibes! Sooooo much better than the “standard chain” coffee shop experience. I will never go to one of those chains again after being here. Love the variety and different options for drinks and snacks. Also love the decor being bright and fresh. Very energizing yet chill at the same time. Try any of their lattes with cardamom. Delicious! They even have a few gluten free options in their bakery section too."

"MOTW Coffee and Pastries was a truly enjoyable experience! The cozy atmosphere provided a quiet and peaceful setting, perfect for indulging in their delectable treats. It turned out to be an ideal spot for working with my laptop while savoring their delicious offerings. The combination of tranquility and delightful pastries made it a fantastic place to be productive. I highly recommend MOTW Coffee and Pastries for anyone seeking a relaxing and scrumptious coffee shop to work from."

"Nice coffee shop in the Castleton area. Ordered a classic chai and a vanilla lavender latte; both good drinks with nice flavor. Staff was friendly but not overly helpful with picking out a drink. They just stared at us while we looked at the menu (at least offer the question of “have you been here before” or “let me know if you need anything” instead of standing right by us at the register or step away for just a moment so we’re not so pressured. And no, we weren’t holding up any lines, the place was empty around noon on a weekday. I know it seems picky but it came off unwelcoming as if we were being a bother. But, the drinks came out fairly quick and ready to drink. Definitely a smaller menu and prices are steep! There’s a good amount of seats to sit and enjoy your pastries and coffee. It’s not a “cozy coffee shop” more of an open industrial feel space. Eveyhting was pretty clean and kept up too. Parking is limited so at busy times it might be tight but most people seem to use the drive thru. Overall it’s not a bad coffee shop but staff, prices, location didn’t overly impress me."

"Visited 3/25/23 The coffee shop was exceptional, bordering on the next level. Their bakery items were simply amazing, with a vast selection that included a variety of muffins in different flavors, such as triple chocolate ice, lemon French, blueberry, and banana nut. They also had other delicious treats like baklava, pistachio nests, and baklava fingers, as well as a variety of espresso, coffee, and tea options. The staff was friendly, and the place was open and spacious, making it a must-visit destination. Although the pricing was a bit steep, it was certainly worth it."
