The owner of Morala is a special woman so it’s no surprise that this is a special place! Amidst a crowd of coffee competition on this strip of Bank Street, Morala really stands out. The atmosphere is cosy Mexican, reflecting owner Miriam Rangel’s home country and its customers are as loyal as they come, often occupying tables on a regular basis. But it’s the food and coffee people come for above all else. Each cup is brewed individually so whether it’s a regular or specialty coffee, the taste is really rich and special. Miriam makes most of her food from scratch with wholesome and healthy ingredients – nothing pre-packaged here. Her baked goods range from super healthy muffins and scones to delicious cookies and bars – some even gluten-free. For lunch, her salads, wraps and paninis are out of this world. There are some special items, like her famous and delicious santo coyote panini, made with chipotle black bean spread.

Miriam came to Canada from Mexico in 1988 and proudly refers to Canada and Morala as part of her family. She has been the owner of 15-year-old Morala since around 2003 and when we asked her if there was anything she wanted to share with our readers, she responded, “I would love to let the wonderful community know how much I do appreciate their support!  I know well that Cafe Morala is an independent, small business that wouldn’t be there without all these great people… Thank you so very much!”

Cafe Morala is located at 734 Bank Street in the Glebe, between First and Second Avenues.
