Mokk@ Café & Croissanterie

mokk@ café & croissanterie does pastries seriously. that's the anchor, and everything else follows from it. the café sits on slash pine drive in cary, a suburb that doesn't get enough credit for its food scene, and the regulars here are the kind who come back not out of habit but because the bar stays high. you won't find a rotating cast of mediocre baked goods sitting under glass: the croissanterie half of the name is load-bearing. specialty coffee pulls the room together, but if you're deciding when to show up, come early enough to catch the pastry selection before it thins out. that's not a suggestion, it's genuinely the move.
