If you're craving premium desserts, and willing to pay premium prices, Choco will satisfy your sweet tooth.
Food:
I've been here a few times but this review will focus on the 3 things I order last: chocolate roll cake, Dubai cheesecake, vanilla latte.
I'm not big into roll cakes but tried the chocolate version based on the cashier's recommendation (she said it's one of the most popular). It was soft and moist, and while I was in love with it, I think roll cake fans will be impressed. The Dubai cheesecake was delicious! The outer chocolate layer was thick and tasty while the inner cheesecake was firm and creamy. It didn't have a tremendous amount of pistachios or filo (essential ingredients in Dubai chocolate), but still just enough to qualify as Middle Eastern inspired. Last but not least, the vanilla latte was a solid coffee. The barista went out of her way to make it with condensed milk because I mentioned my Dad (who drank it) preferred Vietnamese iced coffee. Not quite the same, but their drink was still satisfying, according to my Dad.
The Setting:
The store is neat, clean, and nicely organized. It's not the biggest, so don't expect to find space if you come with a large party to hang out. Most people order to go, but it could serve as a nice place to study or a cozy hangout for a couple.
The Drawbacks:
Oddly, they had an empty drink dispensing machine sitting on top of a counter beside the guest tables; that space could have been used to house things like more napkins, sugar packets, utensils, condiments, etc. Also, the day we went, the espresso machine was down, so I couldn't order any drinks that I wanted. And then biggest drawback are the prices. Everything has a "luxury tax" in the sense that you're paying anywhere from 50 cents to $2 more for an item simply because this shop is in a nice neighborhood of Anaheim Hills. Go to a bakery in Fullerton, Orange, or West Anaheim and the prices will be lower and more affordable for the same desserts.
The Service:
Fortunately, the two employees were incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Truly A+ customer service!
The Conclusion:
If you want a wide variety of quality desserts and drinks, and you're willing to pay a premium for them, then Choco will deliver the goods.
