A 12 oz caffè mocha carries about 95 mg of caffeine, mostly from its espresso with a little extra from the cocoa, matching a standard cup of coffee. The chocolate brings around 28 grams of sugar to the cup.

Espresso + chocolate; caffeine from espresso plus a little from cocoa.

Will Caffè Mocha affect your sleep?

From 95 mg, a mocha needs roughly five hours to fall under 50 mg, so a lunchtime one is usually clear by bedtime. An afternoon mocha may still register, and the sugar can add its own restlessness.
