Mokas Coffee & Eatery: Celebrating 20 Remarkable Years

This November, Mokas Coffee & Eatery proudly celebrates its 20th anniversary, marking two decades of exceptional coffee, delicious food, and a strong connection to the community. Originally starting as a single café in Salina, Kansas, Mokas has evolved significantly, now featuring four locations across the state and expanding into new territories.

The Growth Journey

Since opening its doors in 2005, Mokas Coffee has experienced remarkable growth. The transition to Mokas Coffee & Eatery in 2024 reflects their evolution from a coffee shop to a comprehensive dining experience, offering not only expertly roasted coffee but also freshly made breakfast and lunch options. Under the leadership of Jason Ingermanson, President and CEO of JRI Hospitality, the brand has embraced the importance of community engagement and culinary excellence.

“To us, Mokas has always been more than just a coffee shop; it’s a gathering space for friends and family,” says Ingermanson. “Our menu has expanded, and so has our commitment to quality and hospitality.” With the love for made-to-order meals growing, the new identity captures the essence of the Mokas experience.
