What is LOKL cafe?

It is a point of departure and also a destination, powered by amazing coffee and incredibly delicious food.

You come to a cafe to be there, but also to go someplace else:

a conversation,

a good book,

a song or a podcast,

a daydream,

a new day with destinations of its own.

In order to be a destination, it must have a few things:

Great Coffee

Great Food

Great Vibes

Great Folks behind the Counter

And then, to be that Point of Departure, it must have all of the above and more. It must have something special, something hard to describe from the outset, something rare though it is often taken for commonplace.

And what is that thing?

Trust.

Trust that our coffee is the best, our food is excellent and authentic, our interiors, music, seating, and everything else that makes up a cafe, is chosen and arranged and placed to create an atmosphere where the mind is free to roam, the conversation can wander, the book can have its unexpected second act, and the day can change entirely in tone.

You trust us with your coffee, and that is a trust we take extremely seriously.

Craving something sweet? Our cookies and pastries are the perfect match for your daily coffee fix. ☕🍪 From our iconic chocolate chip walnut cookie (seriously, it’s legendary) to a lineup of mouthwatering treats, we’ve got something to satisfy every sweet tooth. Come visit us at Lokl Cafe in Morristown and taste what makes us the best in the game. You won’t regret it.

Happy Barista’s Mom’s Day! ☕💐
Behind every great latte… is a mom who taught us how to stir things up with love (and maybe a little sass). Today we’re celebrating the original brewmasters — the moms who fueled our dreams and made sure we wore clean socks.
Swipe to meet the real MVPs: the moms behind the magic at LOKL 💛

When Yianni and I started LOKL, it wasn’t just about coffee — it was about creating a space where people could begin something meaningful.
We’re not just business partners—we’re like brothers. LOKL reflects what we care about deeply: real connection, great food and coffee, and a place that feels like home.
Together, we’ve traveled to the mountains of Colombia, shared stories with farmers over cups of single-origin brews, and hand-selected the beans we bring back to Morristown—not because it’s trendy—but because it’s real.
Every detail at LOKL — from the espresso in your cup to the playlist playing in the background — is something we’ve touched, tested, and chosen with purpose.
This café was built on trust. And every time you walk through our doors, you remind us why we do this.
Thanks for being part of the story.

🍨☕ Affogato: Where Coffee Meets Dessert

When hot meets cold, magic happens.

Our affogato is made with freshly roasted LOKL espresso poured over a scoop of our original vanilla gelato—smooth and creamy.

It’s bold. It’s sweet. It’s the perfect midday pick-me-up or after-dinner indulgence.

One scoop, and you’ll understand why we’re obsessed.

☕ Your Coffee. Your Moment. Made by LOKL. 💛

At LOKL Café, your barista doesn’t just make your coffee—they make your day.
Every drink we serve is crafted with care, using our original recipes and the highest quality specialty coffee beans.

But what is specialty coffee, really?

It’s coffee that’s been grown with intention, hand-picked at peak ripeness, processed with precision, and roasted to highlight its natural flavors. It’s graded 80+ points on a 100-point scale—meaning it’s among the best in the world.

And we don’t stop there. We source direct from small farms, roast for character, and train our team to turn those beans into your perfect pour.

Whether it’s your morning cortado, your go-to iced matcha, or a seasonal creation—we’re here to make every cup (and every visit) a little brighter.

✨ Because you deserve more than just coffee. You deserve LOKL.

🌄 Back to Colombia – More Than Just Coffee 🌿

We’re heading back to the heart of the Colombian mountains—on another journey to source the finest specialty coffee for LOKL Café. But this trip is about more than beans and brews.

Over time, Colombia has become a second home. What started as a search for exceptional coffee turned into something far more meaningful: real friendships, unforgettable stories, and a deep connection to the culture and people behind every cup.

This adventure will take us to new farms, familiar faces, and high up into the lush hills where passion for coffee runs generations deep. We're proud to bring a piece of that back to Morristown—fresh, direct-trade coffee rooted in community and care.

Follow along for behind-the-scenes moments, farmer stories, and the beauty of Colombia, from the fields to your cup. ☕🇨🇴

From Mountains to Mugs ☕🐴🇨🇴 ➡️ 🇺🇸

Did you know the journey of your cup of coffee at LOKL starts high up in the Colombian mountains?

There, in the heart of coffee country, skilled farmers hand-pick each ripe cherry. But here's the twist—many of these farms are so remote, the only way to transport the coffee down the mountains is by mule. Yes, real-life four-legged legends carry sacks of beans along narrow, winding trails—like they’ve done for generations.

Once the beans reach the village, they’re processed with care, exported with love, and make their way all the way to our café in Morristown, NJ.

So the next time you sip on your favorite brew at LOKL, remember: a mule helped make that moment happen. 🐾☕
