About us

Mama Koko’s is a cafe and bar space where we honor home as existence within one’s authenticity and where we gather with the family that we have chosen.

This reflects the true story of how Mama Koko became affectionately regarded by so many as "Mama Koko."

Specializing in culinary fusions of deep Black South classics, West African street food, and Caribbean flavors, Mama Koko's recipes represent her life's cultural crossroads. This is home-cooking: simple ingredients, seasoned & spiced right, served tapas style so you can enjoy a taste of it all.

Enjoy lively libations as we toast together in the spirit of Mama Koko's infectious "Joie de Vivre" (joy of life). Whether having coffee, champagne, or cocktails, there are plenty of adventurous stories, plot twists, hearty laughs, juicy whispers, deep questions, and enlightening wisdom for us to share.

Mama Koko's culture of hospitality is simple but sophisticated, homely while haute; avant-garde yet accessible. Here we revel in the treasure chest of history, art, spirituality, philosophy, music, radical thinking, and pleasure affirming our rich dynamism.
