The team work hard to make the café stand out, as Owner Andres and business partner Jason are keen to highlight. “To set ourselves apart, at Cocoa Moon Café we have established two major points of interest in our location. Changing and upgrading the look and feel of the cafe has been a great success as our regulars and locals look forward to seeing what changes have occurred within a month. We have also worked out that as an addition to our regular, standard menu, and have introduced an international feel to it e.g.: French, North Africa, Mexican, etc, with our all day breakfast being the focus. Also, to compliment it we offer International Dinner banquets that change monthly, last weekend of the month, with a country in mind, e.g.: (September: Spain, October: Moroccan, November: Italian).” Operating in such a fast paced, trend influenced industry, the café has to work hard to stay ahead of the latest developments, as Andres explains.
