Cocohodo Dallas Cafe

got the affogato and vanilla so boong for my siblings! mint mojito was alright they put too much sugar in my opinion. owner started cutting her NAILS at one of the tables so minus one for that. food was great but that's weird to cut your nails while u handle food...

Love pleasant surprises as we were nearby and wanted to get dessert with my friends. I’m so glad we tried this place as initially I pointed to the wall which was a mega berry. Let’s say when I saw the price of $18 I was quite shock and disappointed with such a high price. What we got was one of the most delicious ice shaving, multi layered dessert, shaved ice, mung bean paste, condensed milk, mango, strawberry, and random yummy slices of cheesecake. Definitely can fill up four people after dinner or lunch or two if you are really hungry. This dessert place easily skyrocketed to the top three favorite dessert dishes for me

Cocohodo is hands down my favorite spot for a chewy, delicious taiyaki (boonguppang). The texture is just perfect—crispy on the outside and wonderfully soft and chewy on the inside, creating that ideal bite. What makes it even better is the ice cream, which features subtle, not-too-sweet flavors that complement the taiyaki perfectly. Whether you choose classic vanilla or something more adventurous, each scoop is refreshing without overwhelming your taste buds. I also love their other desserts and drinks, which are equally impressive. The variety of options ensures there’s always something new to try, and each dessert is crafted with care and flavor in mind. The drinks, whether refreshing or indulgent, are a great pairing with any treat. The combination of the warm, freshly made taiyaki with the smooth ice cream and a refreshing drink creates a unique treat that’s hard to beat. It’s a great option for anyone who loves desserts that are both comforting and satisfying without being overly sugary. Overall, Cocohodo is a must-try for anyone craving a tasty and well-balanced dessert. The texture of the taiyaki and the ice cream flavors, along with their other desserts and drinks, make it stand out from other dessert spots. I’ll definitely be returning for more!

I loved this place! It's a super cute cafe, and the Bingsu is so good! I think it's the best one I've ever tried in the Carrollton area. I shared the regular size one with my friend and we couldn't even finish it, portions are huge! The staff were super nice too. I totally recommend it if you're looking for some good desserts.

Went on a weekday lunch time. Quiet and dessert came out quickly. Tasted great!

So slow and unapologetic owner and staff. Overpriced ice cream. First time coming here and won't be back. Don't cover your wall with church and biblical references if you are not going to serve your customer kindly according to biblical values.

We stopped by after dinner. Very nice place for a dessert after dinner. We tried the soboong ice cream with vanilla and Nutella, and it was delicious, very light but sweet and creamy. The walnut pastry is their specialty. We had the small box to take home, and it matched well with both coffee and tea. It’s selfservice, and they were fast with the service. It’s on the smaller size, I believe it has about 4-5 tables, so it can easily fill out.

This Cafe is very cute with a nice decor inside the Cafe. The seating arrangement is limited but you will get a lot of drinking options of hot and cold. The items are also reasonably priced. We ordered chocolate ice cream and a lychee Smoothie which were both very tasty. The only drawback would be that it is bit too sweet for my taste! And the containers could be branded instead of generic packaging. Overall, I would recommend this coffee shop.

This is my go to place for ice cream and soboong. The waffle cone is cooked perfectly and has a nice crunch. Texas can be hot so I normally order with a cup. Service is usually speedy but be prepared for a slight wait during busy periods (from my own visits usually weekends during early evening when families stop in). Cute, small but nice vibe. Note: the shop is temporarily closed until June 9th.

To be honest, this has to be the best matcha soft serve I have ever had. It's very potent and not too sweet. Taste very fresh and delicious. 100% recommend coming in and getting the green tea with red bean filled fish. The grapefruit-ade was pretty good too!

Great coffee and dessert shop on Carrollton! They have so boong cones, bin su shaved ice and ice cream. We tried a little of everything and it was amazing! Service was quick and they had ample seating inside.

Solid place to get traditional korean walnut cookie/sponge cake balls and taiyakis. Ice cream was too sweet and not very matcha-y. Staff wasn't very helpful in answering questions (felt like they were trained to take the order but knew nothing about the menu or how to explain things.) Service was slow. Store was very clean. Over all, just stop by and pick up walnut sponge cake balls and nothing else.

Took my foodie kid for a treat . She loved it . No fuss , small cafe . We will be back to try more . The Taro Soobong was sweet , fresh and tasty. If you are a fan of desserts you will enjoy it

This place has amazing ah-boong. The cone was still warm when we got it and the ice cream was really great in terms of flavor and texture. Relatively cheap at $6.50 for a generous helping. Personally, I think this place is better than SomiSomi. Staff was really welcoming and kind.

We came here Saturday night after dinner and it was quite busy. Ordered a black sesame bing su and mango frosty ribbon shaved ice. The ice cream on top of the bing su was a nice tough, however it could've used more flavor. At the bottom it was a lot of ice. The shaved ice was really good, with lots of mango on the side. Wouldn't mind returning to try some other items, their menu is quite extensive.

their custard has a slightly weird taste but the rest of the dessert tasted good. i enjoyed the cereal topping better

The desserts were good but the service was just okay. Felt like they were rushing the customers. Unfortunately the walnut snacks were all sold out for the day so I couldn't try it!

Really nice shop! I like the homey atmosphere this place brings, and I ordered so-boong and I enjoyed it! I would recommend this place if you are looking for a nice treat, I haven't tried any of the drinks here but their prices are fair too

Came here for the first time in 2018, and I've been in love ever since. I love their pastry's. This last time I had their puffed rice ice cream sandwich and it was delicious!

Amazing for a first time! It was very clean, peaceful place. The ice cream with the cookies was amazing, the waffle fish cone is so soft but crunchy at the same time. Highly recommended!

This location is so spacious and clean inside with outdoor seating as well. Everything is fresh and delicious and the ice cream options are always so good! Try the taro and nutella stuffing options, both get an A+

EXTREMELY rude employees!! I actually haven't been here in a long time since the food didn't stand out to me back then. BUT, I came here 2 days ago (on Monday) and a friend had ordered taro and green tea ice cream, as well as the mango fluffy shaved ice. The mango shaved ice was so good, so I came back today 6/1 - super excited to eat the mango again. After ordering with an older lady, we waited for our shaved ice but another employee brought out a green tea one to the window. The employee (guy) looked at my bf and said, "sir, this is yours." We immediately said we didn't order the green tea one. Employee goes to the back to talk to the older lady who took our order (who apparently is the boss), and comes back out to tell us that that IS what we ordered and that they can't do anything about it BUT for us to order another one. No void. No re-make. UNLESS WE PAID FOR A NEW ONE. I told my bf that I'm not going to give money to a place that accused us of ordering something we never, even thought about ordering. I didn't even see green tea on the menu when I ordered! I had specifically said: "hello. Could we get the mango fluffy shaved ice? Oh, do you guys have MOCHI (maybe she heard matcha? IDK, apparently she doesn't speak English which is fine but why are you working the front taking orders then?) No mochi? That's fine! I'll still take the mango ice" The employee asked me to stop being upset with him coz HES JUST AN EMPLOYEE. OK, I understand you don't make the rules. But when I asked to speak to the lady who took my order (she's the boss, right?) that's when he said she didn't speak English and didn't even bother calling her to come out front. I have never left a place this upset and feeling disrespected. I hope they improve their service in the future because this is no way to treat your customers. **LOOK AT ALL THE 1 STAR REVIEWS! Most of them talk about the bad customer service!

Delicious red bean walnut pastries and milk tea! I haven't tried their other items but look forward to returning. They are known most for their pastries which are great on their own or with some tea or coffee. They have read bean and a walnut in them and even taste just as good a day later when they aren't as fresh. You can always ask if they have day old pastries and you'll get a discount. The milk tea was too sweet for me but perfect for my husband.

I love those walnut pastries, the only upsetting thing is they sometimes run out but since I just live down the street, it doesn't matter as I'll just come back the next day to try my luck. They seem to run out in the early evening so just go during the day time if you are in the neighborhood.

Delicious so-boong and the strawberry and mango bingsu was so yummy! They were a surprisingly large portion and they melted quickly so gotta eat it quick!

Love their walnut pastries and the quality of the customer was so nice. I will definitely be returning because their coffee and the inside is very clean

Hubby and I walk in after dinner to find something sweet for dessert. The dining room is a mess with all of the tables dirty and sticky. We ordered the 5 taiyaki deal, but was told that all of the filings have to be the same; otherwise, we have to order individual taiyaki with different fillings. Did not make sense, except the ability to charge a higher price. The taiyaki texture was weird. Not like cake like, but mochi like. The red bean filling was lacking flavor and amount. No good enough to return.

Love love love their taiyaki ice cream. I don't know anywhere else in the Metroplex I can get an ube taiyaki ice cream in Nutella-filled fish cone. There's no pockys or umbrellas that top it (that's only in the window ad), but they really pile on the ice cream if you can spare a few minutes to wait on your fish cone :) The kids loved it and asked if they can come back every day!

I visited Cocohodo for the first time to grab some desserts after dinner, and this place was the perfect Korean cafe. We wanted some snow shaved ice, and this place had just the thing we need. The interior isn't too spacious, but it was still enough for my party of 3, and we ended up ordering the regular Cocohodo Snow Shaved Ice which seemed like it was the signature product. It was the basic bingsoo with red beans, fruits and mochi. The cafe wasn't busy at all when we came (we came towards closing time) so the bingsoo came out really quickly! The size was exactly what we were looking for -- not too big and shareable portions and the shaved ice was good as well. It's not bingsoo that's exceptionally great, but it was still a good tasty bingsoo, and yes... there are cafes who suck at bingsoos. This place was really nice and I do want to come back to check out their walnut snacks as I am a huge fan of those... Can't wait to return!

Goodness this place is sooooo yum. Im to busy stuffing my face and am getting behind on reviews so this will be short: Fish cone with chocolate, nutella, and drizzle. Shaved ice Mango Mascarpone Cheese Latte Puffed rice ice cream Every single thing was perfection. The staff was super friendly and quick and helpful. A must stop.

Located within the same complex as H Mart, Chocohondo is a great place to stop before snagging some groceries. Shop itself is pretty small but has a good amount of tables. Menu is pretty straightforward, and service is friendly. I opted for the cone with Nutella, Oreo and Soft Serve. Took some time maybe 5-10 to come out because they're made to order...which is great. Fresh. Cone itself was a nice thickness, crispy, flavorful, warm but not too warm as to melt all the ice cream. They stuff their shells well here...no skimping with the Nutella. Oreo on the ice cream was standard but a good amount. Soft Serve had a good, standard milky taste, didn't taste ultra artificial and stood up really well to the cone. Overall a 5* review for, great service, executed shell, good ice cream and a better than usual value to cost ratio.

Every time I visit Dallas/Carrollton, I stop by this establishment to pick up a box of walnut pastry to take home to my family with me. Each pastry is individually wrapped and has a big chunk of walnut, which gives it a great texture. If you get some for yourself, make sure to eat it out of the bag asap because it tastes so much better when it's hot!

So out of all places I didn't expect this to happen here... my husband and I placed an order and we're waiting at the ONLY clean table. Once I got my order the guy at the counter ask us to move to the back. No reason, or explanation- I assumed it was because we were two people sitting at a large table. We moved back, but another couple came in and sat in the same place... and he said nothing. So what was it about us that we need to move? We spent $20 here and wanted to support the business however after the lack of customer service I wouldn't recommend this place.

Awesome cafe and one of the only places in dfw that makes fresh hodo cookies! Fresh and warm the mornings and can call ahead to order as they run out towards closing time.

My absolute favorite thing about this place is the soft serve. It's so strong and flavorful, especially in comparison to its counter part (somi) that I have frequented on several occasions this past year. While their ice cream is still super soft, sweet and milky, it's still got tons of tea flavor and provides a good balance that really surprised me. We got the taro soboong with custard filling and Oreo on top as well as the matcha soboong with custard filling and pocky. They were both delicious and I seriously cannot get over that taro flavor. Our cashier was really kind and they have quite a bit of seating hidden inside so you can have a slightly more intimate snack/dessert time here. They also sell gifting tea boxes and several other drinks up front but we had just finished dinner and only had room for some sugar. The only thing I didn't fall in love with here was the taiyaki. I don't know if it was just a one off but it was definitely not as crispy and fully cooked as I am used to in the place I mentioned above. It might be since these aren't being ordered as constantly as other items and the cooking station isn't fully warmed up. Unfortunately, the middle and bottom interior of my taiyaki were gummy/doughy and inedible. I will still return for the soft serve but we will see if that taiyaki redeems itself!!!

The matcha soft serve didn't really have a good matcha flavor. Tasted more vanilla than matcha. I also ordered the walnut pastry and it was horrible! It was sooooo dry, you need water when you eat that. I gave the left over to my boyfriend and he didn't liked it, we threw them away. They also didnt have free water so I had to buy bottle water for $1.50. Overall do not recommend for matcha soft serve.

We love Cocohodo! My first time having Cocohodo was in LA and at that time I only had their pastries. A couple months I had Cocohodo in Hawaii and once again I only had their baked goods. Needless to say their baked goods and drinks are amazing! This review is about Cocohodo's bingsoo! It was my first time having it and it did not disappoint! We got the matcha bingsoo and it was so delicious! The mochi in the bingsoo was literally my favorite part, the green tea icecream was also covered in honey so it was a nice surprise! We had this after eating kbbq, we'll def head there again next time especially since summer is coming!

I got the So-Boong. Chocolate ice cream, custard filling, and Oreo topping. It was made perfectly: my girls loved it. I then got a Kiwi Iced Mojito. That was so refreshing with the little bits of kiwi in every sip.

Somi Somi was closed so we came here, they only let you order one flavor for 5 taiyaki. Whatever all five of them were completely undercooked and gummy. Customer service was not great either.

The Taiyaki here is Lennon, others are Yoko ONO Others are Imagine Dragons, this Taiyaki's BONO Popular with college kids, so watch out for MONO Don't drink Buffalo water, you'll get HASHIMOTO Hope it doesn't disappear like brains and the DODO Hope it doesn't rebrand with a poop in the LOGO Hope it doesn't start selling hot coffee and COCOA Hope that when I'm here, I run into Ice and COCO Hope they let me watch him put his Marco in her POLO Hope that Trump doesn't try to kill CUOMO Hope that hipsters don't try to imitate Perry COMO Tastes so good I have to eat it in SLOMO I pick Taiyaki here like the Giants picked off ROMO If you went without me then I would get FOMO If Taiyaki were a boy then I would be a HOMO The best Taiyaki in Texas is COCOHODO! What to get: Custard Fish! What not to get: Custard in your Fish! Why not: Pregnancy, STD, Infection. Ew: IKR. This place seems to have some sort of a Hoodoo about it. A Coco-Hoodoo. Sort of like a Black Magic side to it. Like Coco-Voodoo. I cut myself on one of their pastries, too. A Coco-Booboo. And also a Mattabooboo. What's a Mattabooboo, you say? Nothing, Yogi. Definitely one of the most amazing experiences we've had in Dallas. I would say that if I had to pick one place in DFW where I would go back to get dessert, it would be here, because I love the disgusted fish so much. I mean "this custard fish", but that was funnier, thanks voice dictation. We've been to another location of Cocohodo down in Katy by Houston, and they didn't have any of the actual Cocohodo products and said that they were in the process of disassociating themselves from the from the chain - so basically not a Cocohodo then. So this was our first real experience of the franchise and it's really excellent. I'm a big fan and we'll definitely be coming back here. The little Walnut things they're famous for? Meh. I don't get it. Like if you like them, then great, but to me, they just taste like something that's been sitting on a grocery store shelf for a year. But the custard fish - oh my goodness absolutely spectacular. So yes - the little baby Walnut things - just forget about them. I mean, we waited so many damn years to try them and they are absolutely not worth your time. I couldn't believe how disappointing they were. They look cute, I guess. Maybe that's the appeal. Superficially cute, realistically crap. But when it comes to the Taiyaki, and I mean the custard fish filled with whatever - oh my goodness this thing is so damn good. I got the custard-filled one and we loved every bite so much that we were very tempted to just go ahead and buy another one and try the other fillings. It's absolutely spectacular. It's worth 10 stars, really. In fact you can't give 10 stars, but it was so good that it's enough to earn 5 stars for this wonderful and awesome little place that is a chain, admittedly, but we have been waiting to try it for a very long time and we're glad that we finally got to do that, here in Carrollton. So if you come from the POCONOS Or closer to HOME, YO If you work at a SUNOCO Or for the fascist POPO Stay and hear my FLOW FLOW About CocoHODO Bring your sis and BRO BRO And I'll hold the line like TOTO Now I've got to GO GO My backyard needs a MOW MOW Then Barbie wants it SLO SLO Because she's a nymPHO PHO And I'd never say NO NO I go down like a YOYO Because I'm such a HO HO And also because YOLO I'm the K-Ci to her JOJO And she's my favourite PRO PRO But keep this on the LOW LOW Lest the rumours GROW GROW Yes, that's her in the PHOTO Pointing her pink TOE TOE But if you go to COCOHODO Wake me up before you GO-GO WHAT

What is it with this place? I used to often visit this place. Last year during one visit, they didn't have Thai ice cream. Another visit, their Taiyaki machine was down. I fully understand machine breaks. Today, I came in at 10:47am for their five fish with custard. I wanted it for breakfast. The cashier told me they don't turn on their machine till noon. If that's the case, what exactly are you selling at 10am? Just drinks? It's not like they have an extensive menu that most items can be ordered before lunch and some after.

This was a cute little shop located in a strip mall with lots of other places. We went here to get some dessert after exploring Dallas all day. It was very busy when we went but we still got our ice cream in a reasonable amount of time. The so boong was about $6 each depending on the flavor you got. Overall I thought it was pretty good and I would come back if I were in Dallas again!

I gave the place three stars because of the customer services. The staff are friendly. But the shaved ice and the so-boong was not worth it. The shaved ice was extremely plain and we couldn't even taste the matcha at all, except for the matcha ice cream scoop on the side. The so-boong for me, personally, was okay, I would rate it a 4/10. The ice cream was too sweet for me.

Not only did they serve people before me and the two other people I went with, they have horrible manners I ordered before like four people and I didn't get my items till way after. Not only that but the guy who is there didn't even let me and the people who were eating finish our desserts and was basically yelling we closed please get out, just interrupted me, it was barely 10:03, we were just about to get up, anyways when he got us off guard. The time before that the girl had let us stay to finish our dessert with no problem. The guy is always so rude. Then I guess he saw we were upset he said "you want a to go box" like sure I'll get a to go box for ICE. Such a stupid suggestion. The desserts are good though, but the customer service sucks.

So good. This took shaved ice to a different level. I never had it with condensed milk. The strawberry one was really good but I'd probably leave out the syrup next time as it was super sweet. The coco original was so good. I loved the red bean and mochi that came with it. Definitely coming back.

AMAZING! Way better than somi somi! We got green tea with red bean filling and chocolate with chocolate filling! I loved it so much! Especially the fish cone! So delicious not too sweet and shareable! Decently priced and very worth it!

If you wish to keep your good mood, I wouldn't recommend this place. The service here is horrible.

A very little shop near the hmart complex but its not too hard to find a seat! They are known for their walnut red bean pastry but I love their new item they got which us the goldfish bread. I also tried the goldfish icecream which was the same chewy inside texture but crunchy on the outside. Very similar to how it tastes in korea. It takes a while for the goldfish bread to come out because they have to make it fresh and all but it is very worth! I just wished they were a little bigger but it's not too bad haha. I got the nutella filling with my icecream which was really good. The custard is my next favoirte then the red bean. The red beans are whole and not complete paste for those who like that, you will like it here. I also heard the sweet potato latte was good but never had it. Will definitely try it next time!

This was our first time in Dallas and we have tried to touch bases on a few spots. This place came up on our search so wanted to try it out. It is a cute little spot in K Town. Inside is very clean. The kids got these cute little Korean juices and ice cream in the fish shaped cones-fun! I got the mango shaved ice and I have to say this was the best dessert I had down in Dallas. I don't know if it was because of the heat from outside, but it was absolutely delicious and they give a lot of it. Service was nice and efficient. Wish they had smiles on their faces , but I can understand a long and very hot day of work. Would definitely come back if in Dallas again.

Love this place and their taiyaki. I always make a point to stop by here whenever I'm in Carrollton, even after full on tons of food. The place is super cute and is a great late night dessert option! I love coming here with my friends and just hanging out. The environment makes it so easy to do so! I always get my go-to taiyaki with red bean filling, green tea ice cream, and mochi toppings. So delicious! The ice cream is creamy and the matcha level just right. The taiyaki itself is crunchy on the outside, with bread warm and soft on the inside. The red bean filling also makes it 10x better! The most delicious treat and the only taiyaki place in DFW that actually has ice cream (that I know of). I recommend you stop by!

We came in a year ago and the man told us that the machines were down for the day and they wouldn't be opening. Okay, cool. He sold us some day old walnut pastries. They were good for being a day old. We haven't been back since until this month. Everything seems to be working okay now. Seems they added more drinks to the menu or maybe I wasn't paying attention the first time we walked in. First time, I got the Taro So Boong with chocolate drizzle. Loved it. 2nd time, shared the strawberry shaved ice with my son. Refreshing and yummy on a hot day. Both recent visits, I got the butterfly tea w/ Passion fruit. Love the tea. Husband tried the salted coffee and the guy warned him it was salty. The guy was right..it was super salty, but good in a weird way.

Also love this place!! Per my coworker I got the tarot, Nutella on the inside, and cereal. I drizzled mine with condensed milk but next time I want to try the honey. I hear the honey is amazing!

A true dessert gem! I always make sure to stop by Cocohodo when I'm in the area. Although walnut pastry is on their sign, the red bean taiyaki is where it's at. Cooked to order, the outside is hot and crispy while the inside is chewy and filled with sweet red bean goodness. The so boong is also amazing if you're looking to treat yo'self. I had the green tea ice cream, red bean filling, and mochi topping. The green tea is some of the best I've had. It tastes legit. The mochi is the colorful mochi that you find at froyo places. The flavors all come together really well. We came around Valentine's Day so they added a cute cookie. The presentation was adorable!

I'm not too sure how to feel about this place. I love their Walnut treats. I'm someone who doesn't really like red bean but these are so so good! Just buy a little and try some for yourself. It's warm and soft and perfect for the cold season. The drinks.. hmm not sure. Its just alright. The Sea Salt Coffee isn't too bad. I didn't want to try any boba drinks from here because that Hmart area is just filled with boba shops. I tried the Fish waffle Ice cream. This was actually pretty good! You can make your own and I believe it was pretty decent price. I don't like it enough to give it a 5 but i don't hate it enough to give them less than a 3. Not bad to just try this place out but I recommend getting the walnut treats :)

Food was okay, service was okay. My friend and I visited around 9:30PM (30 minutes before closing), but we were still served without any hint of unwillingness, which is better than I can say for some other places in the area that inconsistently close the entire kitchen 1+ hours before their actual closing. We each ordered a waffle fish - mine with custard, green tea ice cream, and pocky. My friend's with nutella, vanilla ice cream, and pop rocks(?). Both melted very very quickly, which is to be expected since you hold the fish right in the middle where all the ice cream is. It comes in a little McDonald's small fry-sized bag though that seems to catch the drips decently well. We originally took the fishes out of the bag but then it dripped all over the table, so we had to basically inhale our dessert.
