Coco's neighbourhood coffee shop

cocos neighborhood coffee shop is super quaint, a great place to do some work (although quite busy), and all the staff are super friendly. PLUS the breakfast sandwich and scone were PHENOMENALLLLLL !! the apple cheddar rosemary scone was actually so incredible, it was the most wonderful combination of flavours. the outside was crunchy and crusted with deliciously salty cheddar, while the inside was bready and soft, but not dry. the pungency of the cheese was beautifully complemented by the AROMATIC and FRAGRANT and sage-y rosemary, and all the savoury flavours were balanced by a subtle, but sweet and bright undertone from the apples. the only thing was that i wish they could’ve warmed it up for me. also, the angel breakfast sandwich was just as delicious and something that you MUST get — it’s definitely one of the best in toronto. the biscuit is super soft and mushy and warm and comforting and had melted cheese all over it. the bacon was smoky and crispy and savoury and salty, and it was lying on top of a thick, soft egg frittata. i absolutely LOVEDDDD the sauce they added — it was described at hot honey butter, but it tasted more like an aioli or sweet mayo to me , but it was a really amazing tangy sweet-ish kick to the slight oiliness and savouriness of the biscuit and bacon. i also tried their big cookie, which was pretty nOrmal i would say?? like it’s really well made, but it wasn’t revolutionary. it had a crunchy baked exterior and a chewy soft (but not underbaked) centre, and it was very much LOADED with sweet chocolate chips. i loved pairing it with a warm, frothy cup of milk.

A café in Little Italy decked out in plants, pastries and doilies, Coco’s is best known for its cable-knit latte, more-chocolate-than-chip cookies, and breakfast sandwiches. It’s packed every time I go and deeply loved by locals. But what truly earned Coco’s its cult following (and keeps me coming back) are the whimsical, intricate, seasonal, Alice in Wonderland tea-party coded weekend specials What I tried: Cortado (my go-to) * Excellent balance, dialed in perfectly * Strong and moderately sour with light cherry notes—pairs especially well with pastries Knotty Pine (maple syrup, cedar, rosemary) * Rosemary is the dominant flavor, giving it an unexpectedly savory edge, so personally, this was more reminiscent of roasted pork / porchetta than a winter forest,Not bad though, very unique drink and I’m glad I tried it Blackcurrant Banana Opera Cake - Banana almond jaconde, blackcurrant buttercream, espresso ganache, black sesame dacquoise - Jaconde: like a slightly lighter banana flavoured pound cake - the nuttiness of the black sesame complements the roasted flavour of the espresso ganache beautifully - Best when you let it come to room temperature : buttercream turns luxuriously creamy, jaconde hits peak moistness, both coffee and tart berry notes are amplified - More creamy than sweet—best paired with tea Butter croissant * Thick, more brioche-like interior * Lightly buttery and very moreish Earl Grey shortbread (Earl Grey) * Extremely tender and buttery with a subtle Earl Grey flavour * Light, fluffy crumbs that melt in the mouth, not hard or crunchy at all, fantastic texture Cranberry Bundt Cake * mildly spiced and warm flavors, punctuated by bright pops of tart cranberry, softens in both flavour and texture when warmed up * Pumpkin Cinnamon Bun * Soft, squishy bun filled with spiced caramel and topped with tangy pumpkin cream cheese * more complex than regular cinnamon bun * transforms into a completely different beast when heated up: crisp outside, fluffy inside, allowing the spices (clove, nutmeg, cinnamon) to fully bloom , so good Goat Cheese Cheesecake topped with Sour Cream, figs, sugared sage, honey * Silky and thick, almost like soft-serve * Initially you just taste the tangy creaminess, then the cheese sneak up on you , but the goat funk is mellowed down enough to be surprisingly enjoyable even for goat-cheese skeptics(me) * crust has very strong honey-graham flavor, dulling the sharpness of the cheese without erasing it and balancing out the tang * Sage is a marvelous addition and I wish there was more than one piece. *Its herbaceous, earthy, slightly bitter notes—alongside the fresh figs and sour cream—help balance the cake's overall richness Battenberg (Rose & Pistachio cakes with apricot jam and homemade marzipan. ) * Pistachio cake is hitting,:moist, buttery, boldly flavored and dotted with nut pieces * Rose is softer and restrained * texture is like a moist muffin with more air * Apricot jam adds brightness and the marzipan isn’t overly almond-forward * Grows on you; unique and quietly addictive Earl Grey Gianduja Cake (cake to go ) * Soft, moist Earl Grey cake with pronounced tea aroma and lightly sweet honey buttercream * Gianduja is really good! thick,strong, not too sweet , without the chocolate or the hazelnut overpowering each other or the cake * The first few bites are dazzling, though I’d recommend sharing—gets rich quickly Till next time

As a cake enthusiast, cocos closing is devestating. Their cakes are unmatched as are their other goodies. I've attached a few photos of some of their various goodies I've tried throughout the year.....you will be missed cocos. Hope you come back to this neighborhood in some capacity in the future. We all love you here.

I love discovering little gems, and I think I may have stumbled upon one today. The space is so charming, warm, and inviting. The coffees are very reasonably priced, but it’s the treats that really steal the show - everything looked so delicious I was practically drooling just looking at them. One peach cookie in particular caught my eye. They looked like real peaches and the details blew me away. I’ll definitely be back to try it. It was quite warm inside, so we were glad to retreat outdoors with our cold brews. While indoor seating is limited, there’s plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy.

We were warned by reviews here that this little coffee shop gets busy so we went early for a breakfast and had no problem getting a seat (There are not very many), but by the time we were finished, the lineup was out the door and people were sitting outside in the cold. The staff are friendly and the place has a great friendly atmosphere. They serve drinks and food using cool old plates and cups and it is decorated with 'retro' dishes. The breakfast sandwich was delicious as was my wife's scone

Absolutely amazing spot! The kindest workers on the planet! Super cozy atmosphere, with plants that are well loved! When I went they played my favourite album on repeat, and when I said I was getting a drink for a friend they made it extra hot so she could have a warm drink when I brought it to her!

I came here specifically to try the chocolate chip cookie and I'm sad to report it's not a good cookie. Especially if you're a chocolate chip cookie enthusiast. It doesn't really have a robust flavour profile or superior texture. Just hard crunchy chocolate chips, sweet as the only flavour profile. BUT everything else about the cafe is great. I tried the coco caramel latte which had a wonderful subtle background flavour of nutty coconut. I would recommend even if you don't like coconut usually. The ambiance is also very cozy. Was a bit hot in there though. Overall would recommend!

Coco's is and will always be the best little neighbourhood cafe in Toronto history. Unimpeachable in every way. Nicole, Liam and everyone who has worked here created something truly special.

Quintessential neighbourhood nook with lovely people and lovely baked goods. Stopped by and got: - Battenberg Cake: spongey and fruity, with a delightful marzipin crust - Goat Milk Cheesecake: decandent and hefty, with perfectly warmed blueberries to top I can see why this place is so popular. You and your tummy feel warm and fuzzy after a visit.

Busy and good coffee shop! Sunday mornings are busy. The workers are hopping. The coffee is good. They have one specialty latte, called Cable Knit. It's basically pumpkin, all spice and a bunch of other spices thrown in. It tastes Christmasy or good for Fall. I'll probably stick to a cafe latte, flat white or cappuccino next time. The chocolate cookie is good and full of chocolate chips inside and outside! The employees are all very nice. It's a good solid coffee place. Nothing spectacular, but very good lattes

Gotta love me a BBC (Big Brown Cookie, DUH) Coco's Neighbourhood Coffee. shop (668 College St) Has to try this humongous cookie out, the amount of chocolate chips is INSANE. Lowkey wish I had it fresh, as this was a little dry for me, I did visit around noon. Maybe it'll be fresher in the morning so let's hope I can get my ass up for this

Came here for a quick latte. I got the latte with soy, enjoyed the drink but pretty similar to lattes you would get elsewhere. Really loved the ambiance in the store, feels like you are in an old house with trinkets. The staff were really friendly as well.

There it was, in the window, the most tantalizing Nanaimo bar I'd ever seen. It called out to me. I approached. There was a little window there, with a little opening in it, big enough for tiny magic tricks. But the sun was so bright, it glared off the window, blinding me. Squinched, squinting, I caught a glimpse of the wizard's hands, a belt loop, faded fabric. They nimbly transferred the jewel into a small paper satchel and nudged a smooth rectangular box towards me. I conjured my divining card, waved it above the box and the treat was mine! Oh, the heft! When I got home, I wasn't sure where I'd been. I'd never seen this place before. It had appeared out of nowhere, like magic. I looked at the bag for a clue - and there it was, the proof - a stamp. Coco's.

Really good almond croissant and cortado. I think they do javas blend. Very friendly workers. Will try the angels breakfast and some sweet desserts for next time for sure!

The best baked goods, coffee and service in the city! Absolutely love this friendly shop run by awesome people who make delicious treats. The owner also makes stunning birthday cakes. Highly recommend!
