Wow wow wow. It's been a while since a bakery/brunch spot has impressed me so and for reasons I…read morevalue: the interior is homey but also like a massive cafeteria, the food is legit and special, and you can just tell the care they put into each pastry and dish. Short rib hash, tender and scrumptious -- who doesn't love a bread mop. But the buckwheat pancake floored me. As someone who always craves earthy and umami flavors, it hit the dang spot. Not too sweet, almost like a cross between a cornbread and a hot cake, fluffy, oh so crispy (presumably from the time spent in a scalding hot cast iron in the oven). And I haven't even gotten to the pastries yet. This is a place you come to to share everything and to wipe the plate clean.

I was super bummed to see that most of their stuff was already sold, but hey, it was noon, and it's…read morejust proof that they make great stuff! The Morning Bun is the best! A crispy shell housing so many layers of chewy croissant-like dough. The Raspberry Fairy is light and lovely, and I enjoyed the muffins and a cookie as well. All delicious, but I think they truly excel at pastry, with all those beautiful layers. I can hardly ever drive to Hollywood, and I'm so happy to have had a chance to stop here. This bakery is clearly among the better ones in a city with a deep pool of talent, and I'd add that morning bun to my best-breakfast list.

Found this place on Yelp and had to immediately come check it out the next day and i'm in love…read more Big, creamy ice cream scoops for $5 with a plethora of amazing and unique flavors to choose from - coco floss was yummy! Also loved the little rice dumplings, curry puffs, chiffon cupcakes, and filled pancake rolls... all for a good deal too. Can't wait to be back to try more things like their drinks, banana muffins, and get more chiffon cupcakes!

I pulled into this strip mall to get dinner from Pa Old and spotted CoCo's storefront. Not knowing…read morethey were at closing time, they still warmly invited me in and I took a quick gander at their end-of-the-day offerings. A few other people arrived just after me, but they seemed to know it was closing. Oops! Once it dawned on me, I grabbed a couple of too tempting items and made my way forward. I was pleasantly asked how I would like to pay and I said whichever is convenient. Of course the register had been closed out, so Apple Pay was handy. I apologized for not being aware and was waved off with a smile and heartfelt 'No worries.' Later at home, the brightly colored tapioca and coconut treats were an absolute delight, but the sticky rice mango for just $10 was an absolute MUST! Now I know, when I'm craving this dessert, I can head to CoCo's - in the MIDDLE of business hours! - to repeat this lovely treat. Parking is easy and free and it's in the heart of Thai Town, so it's legit! I also am curious to see how many more tempting baked goods, hot grab-to-go snacks and desserts are offered during peak hours. Many shelves of unique(to me) eats are well displayed and prices are well marked. It feels like a neighborhood bakery and snack shop, which is exactly what it is. Very comfortable, welcoming, clean and nice. Items are made fresh to be consumed fresh. Don't purchase more than you can eat on the day. I can see where that would be a challenge in the future, but it's a challenge I'm willing to accept. Cheers! "CC"

5 stars atmosphere, 3.5 stars beverages. First off this is a very relaxing cafe to enjoy on a…read morebeautiful LA day. The outdoor seating area is just the right amount of comfy, clean, green, and casual. They do have the vibes set up to feel like a nice place to read. The drinks are a bit expensive as other reviewers have noted. I had the strawberry matcha tonic which was fine, but I think this place would benefit so much from at least one really strong speciality drink or pastries. But either way if you're mostly looking for a really nice area to hang out outdoors with some coffee, this is a good place. I got lucky and got street parking pretty fast. It's mostly residential streets nearby so easy to find free parking, hard to find a free spot.

The garden/library atmosphere was casual, relaxed and inviting. It seems like a place where you can linger over a coffee, book or conversation without getting a stink eye. The biggest challenge was street parking; after multiple laps, we almost gave up. Although this isn't the cafe's fault, it will probably be a deterrent in the future since we don't live in the area.

While my girlfriend and I were waiting for my drinks we got to read about their business owner and short but significant history. This business seems very popular and for good reason. It has creative Viet inspired drinks, some pastries, and other traditional classics. I loved the overall aesthetic. It's very tiny inside but inviting. Their staff were friendly and even were generous enough to ground some external beans for me which was a solid. I'm sold on their product, service, and can't wait to come back! Phenomenal find :)

I tried the Saigon Latte and the Signature Vietnamese Coffee. While neither drink was bad, neither…read morereally stood out to me. The beans seem to be of decent quality, but the coffee lacked the depth, complexity, and bold character that I typically associate with great Vietnamese coffee. I understand that condensed milk is a defining ingredient in Vietnamese coffee, and it's something I usually enjoy. However, I found both drinks noticeably sweeter than I prefer. I don't mind sweetness, but these leaned a bit too heavily in that direction for me, which ended up masking some of the coffee's flavor. That said, the café is located in a pleasant neighborhood and has a welcoming atmosphere. It's a comfortable spot to relax, meet friends, or work. While the coffee wasn't particularly memorable for me, the overall vibe of the place is definitely a plus.

We've been eyeing this spot for a while, and it's quickly becoming our new go to coffee shop in the neighborhood. The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming. There were only two people working, but everything moved smoothly and at a great pace. The aroma of fresh coffee filled the air the moment we walked in, adding to the cozy atmosphere. The space itself is charming, with both comfortable indoor seating and a great outdoor patio area. The couple in front of us recommended the Handles coffee, and it looked delicious, so that's definitely on my list for the next visit. So happy to have a new local coffee spot in the rotation. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu.

The ladies were patient as we asked questions and made our selections. I'm not in this area often but I would come back to grab a drink and get some work done. Seems like a family or community oriented business as people were studying, getting tutoring, and mingling. Looks like they have karaoke and events on the weekend with a small stage, lighting, and big screen t.v. Worth checking out!
