I was pleased as punch to see that Corey, the veteran barista at the Mojo Cafe, has been spending time at OTBKB. In addition to being on friendly terms with most of the parents, caregivers, children and unescorted adults who drink their coffee at the Mojo, Corey is in charge of weekday lunch at the Mojo when many 4th and 5th graders from PS 321 cram into the Mojo for bagels, hot dogs, and Krispy Kreme donuts. He runs a tight ship: insists that the kids throw out their garbage, act respectfully and settle down when necessary. But the kids love him and seem to treasure their Mojo lunch. Corey deserves to be recognized for his firm and caring supervision of those kids.
Seems that he tracked down the posts that compared Park Slope cups of coffee. I know I told Michael, the owner of the Mojo, that OTBKB-Restaurants found Mojo to have one of the 2 or 3 best cups of coffee in the Slope. So maybe Michael told Corey about the blog. Interestingly, Corey is working out a plan to franchise the Mojo. He’s thinking big and looking for interested investors. This guy has plans…
Hey, it’s Corey the man behind the myth. Yes, all of those places like
Starbucks and Conn Muff have inferior coffee. I also believe they have
inferior staffers as well but hey that’s a matter of opinion. Most
people know me as the guy who’s always gonna try and keep you coming
back. If you have kids they probably know me as well. I am currently
working on a way to turn Mojo Cafe into a franchised
commodity. My only problem is: I dont have the financial resources, but
trust me, I’m working on that. So when you hear about the IPO you better
get on the bandwagon.
Clearly, Corey is a man with a dream. And he’s put in the time required to really get to know the coffee/cafe business. At this point, he’s probably earned the equivilant of an MBA in the coffee business. He’s obviously a trusted employee over there and it would be great if he could leverage this experience into his own entrepreneurial venture. Corey, good luck to you.
To all my friends and customers at Mojo Cafe thank-you for allowing me to serve you and be a part of the community for 6 wonderful years. Remember Corey, Park Slope’s finest barista is still there. I’ll see you on the avenue.
Michael
Hi glad to hear that Mojoise was voted tops for coffee – What a great place – It’s really the epicenter of Park Slope life – You’ve got the moms, the kids, the babysitters, the highschoolers hanging out – It’s an interesting place to be from 8am to 9am weekdays. thanks for the report.
