Mocha is the place the coffee/chocolate mix is named after, on the Red Sea. But according to my dictionary your word has made a moccary of the query as it isn't there...

The Italian in me sparked a little brain cell to spell it the way I do "Moka", which is odd since we Italians don't really use the letter K very often.
There is a 'Caffe Mokary', a coffee-shop in Venezia, Italy, but I suggest it's just a company name.

Mocharia ar Mochary. Like Pizzaria or distillery. Not an "official" word but a slang moniker.

Do you have a site for that, WAM? Because it did occur to me to check both of those words, and I found no specific references.

As I said. Not an official word. Just a slang. Google serves up NO hits.
It is like needing gasoline and saying that you are going to the gaseria or gassery. (Not to be confused with Gaseteria, an actual Gasoline Corporation.)

Even colloquial language nuances have some sort of point of origin.
