We ordered a cake for our small wedding event- it was beautiful and delicious! When I saw what we got for the price I was in disbelief. They were so great over the phone and called to confirm a detail about the order a few days ahead of time.

I've purchased brownies, cupcakes, sweet balls, etc here a couple of times. They've always tasted fresh and great! Also, the server who works there is very friendly! A very good spot to try some American pastries.

3 years ago I was looking for a good local cake spot for my boyfriend's birthday. When I purchased - a custom chocolate cake with: - chocolate mousse, - vanilla buttercream, - and cookie pearls... I was not expecting that it would become an annual tradition! My boyfriend loved that first cake, saying it is the best birthday cake he has ever had. Since then, I have been ordering the same cake from Cocoa Bakery every year for his birthday and it does not disappoint. This year, I threw my boyfriend a birthday party. His guests independently said Cocoa Bakery's cake was the best birthday cake they have had as well. Thanks Cocoa Bakery for the consistency! This year I also decided to ask Cocoa Bakery to decorate the two cakes I ordered. I didn't know what to expect after they said they could match my proposed designs...but what I received was beautiful and so fun! Yes, my boyfriend is an adult man haha, but I love going all out for him with a theme or two...and Cocoa Bakery helped accomplish my visions!! *Note: if you are planning to ask for a decorated cake, please reach out to Cocoa Bakery and give them a 2 weeks heads up min. ALSO when I went to pick up the cakes I found out they just started doing UberEATS...the snacks they have there look delicious so I will definitely be ordering from them for a casual snack too!

Located in the heights, at the intersection of Congress st and Central Ave, had this place in my bucket list for a while! The ambiance is good and the service is good, the barista was pretty responsive which I liked. Coming to the food, I ordered signature hot chocolate and quiche. The signature hot chocolate seems to be made from dark chocolate, it was a bit bitter than expected and overall it felt okay whereas the quiche was creamy but the quantity seemed less compared to the cost they charged. Overall, they have some good pastry options but it's on the expensive side. Definitely worth a try once!

I went here for a treat and something to drink with my husband. We enjoyed the lemonade a lot. It wasn’t to sweet or sour. The vegan cupcake was okay, it was to much cocoa for me personally but may be perfect for others. My husband had the Oreo cake truffle and though it it was good. The atmosphere it’s self was very inviting and the customer service was top tier !
