Cafe Mozaki: New Coffee Shop at Library

The trend over the past several years has been for public libraries to offer coffee shops and other amenities to consumers.  I like that trend.  So, I was excited when the Daniel Boone Regional Library here in Columbia opened a  coffee shop but sad when it closed.  One thing that concerned me was that the last proprieter never seemed to have much business and that it would be difficult to find someone to run the concession. For months the area sat empty in the library and I was afraid that the library would abandon the project.  I was delighted when Cafe Mozaki opened.



The Patel family opened up the shop and they also run Daylight Donuts.  I had one of their donuts and it was absolutely outstanding.



Hannah loves their Italian Ices (without the cream) and she had a chocolate muffin for the first time that she was very happy with too.



We had to wait in line to get served and while we were in line five other customers queued up. In this case that is a good thing.  It means that they appear to be doing a good business and there may be incentive enough for them to stay. It helps that prices are reasonable.
