My friend told me it's decent and I decided to try the napoleon. It was disappointing. Looks good but it was very soggy. My friend had a cherry cake and it was pretty good. Overall I'd stop in again if I needed a break but not for the desserts. Can't say I tried the food. read more

Cafe Cocoa Boulangerie - Plated nicely, if only I could eat with my eyes lol - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

Service isn't great but the location is if you're in the area. Small but comfortable patio for groups of two. Seems to be a husband and wife pair that's running it or possibly a family so service is a bit slow. You have to go in to place your order and you also have to wait and bring it to your table. My smoke salmon and cream cheese bagel was delicious but my tall latte was so so. They have all day brunch, savory and sweet crepes, sandwiches, gelato, French patisserie etc... 3/5 for service 4/5 for food 4/5 for ambience Prices are good. Busy on summer weekends so small line ups. Give it a shot read more

Cafe Cocoa Boulangerie - Smoked salmon & cream cheese - yummy $11.90 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

A beautiful spot for enjoying a coffee and a lovely dessert. Their treats are sumptuous, and range from a variety of cake slices (or full cakes to take out for a special occasion) at a reasonable price (~$3.99--most other places charge over $4 and sometimes over $5 for the equivalent). They also have petit fours, mousses and tiramisú among other gâteries. They also serve breakfast pastries, like danishes, cinnamon and sticky buns and bagels. The sticky buns are gigantic, dripping with nuts and very sticky indeed (you can practically taste the honey in them). Lunch items include quiches, salads, panini and mushroom or seafood au vent--which I saw there for the first time today. Sadly, I had already eaten lunch, so didn't get a chance to try the latter two, but vol au vent is a favourite dish of mine, so I look forward to getting back here soon to try their versions! The interior of the cafe is lovely, with warm lighting and European-style décor--the kind of interior you wouldn't be surprised to encounter in Paris or Budapest. I love coming by here to linger over some food or coffee. In the summer and into the early autumn, they have a patio area outside, with a view of the lake--perfect for sitting, reading and enjoying the ambiance. Weekends are better for the patio experience because there is construction right across the street, which can get a little loud during the week. But even then, it's still very pleasant sitting out. The service has always been cheerful and friendly when I have gone--another big plus, in my eyes. Definitely stop by for a visit, if you're enjoying the walking trails at Humber Bay park or the boardwalk along Marine Parade, just west of the city--it's a lovely spot! A final note: They serve Starbucks' coffee, which may be a deal maker for some and a deal breaker for others. But this place is absolutely worth the visit! If you don't like Starby's then have a tea, or just some dessert! read more

See all

Absolutely beautiful bakery. Must've cost a pretty penny-- every inch of this space has been thought of.. gorgeous floor-to-ceiling cabinetry in dark wood... Live in the building above, so at the end of a walk with dog, stopped by and bought a slice of marble cheesecake. Pure decadence- moist and ooh, so dense. Has charming patio furniture, very European feel. So happy to have a great bakery in the neighbourhood. No more second rate cakes from Sobey's-- Hurray!! read more

A convenient spot to grab a bite and coffee. This place has a lot of potential. However, it seems a bit disorganized. It might just be the placement of the furniture, but there's something that kind of feels ... awkward. Like you showed up and the tables were set up last minute for people to sit. The food is good! But it's not the most comfortable or ambient cafe I've visited. read more

As other reviewers have noted, the space is lovely, warm and inviting. The display cases feature great looking treats. If only the food tasted as good as it looks. I tried a macaron last week and it left a lot to be desired. I really wanted t like this place as the location is wonderful. As the patisserie offers breakfast, we went back and ordered waffles and french toast. Portions are huge and service was quick and friendly, but the french toast was heavy and the waffles tasted like cornflakes. read more

What a shame, food looked like it had been there for days, I watched a member of staff wipe the counter and then use the same tissue to clean the milk and cream that goes in coffee. There is soo much potential but there is nothing in this place that looks like a Boulangerie unless the French are now putting cake in a cellophane wrap and leaving it there forever. You are better to go to the pub opposite read more

Cocoa serves Starbucks coffee, had a nice cup of Pike Place and a great conversation. The cafe is beautifully designed with subway tile, mosaic tile floors and dark panels on the walls. I have not tried the food yet, but it was a great place to meet with someone. read more

Great atmosphere and plenty of options. This little bakery will have me coming back for more with their amazing croissants and great coffee's. If you're in the area on a cold day their hot chocolate is great! read more

This place is warm and friendly, my husband and I have been coming for two years always happy with the service and breakfast sandwiches. We had there Gelato ice cream last Sunday it was delicious. Star buck coffee is aways a great start of the day. read more

Cafe Cocoa Boulangerie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

Can't believe I've been living here for 2 years and this was the first time I had breakfast here! So amazing, the cheese croissant it so flakey just melts in your mouth! And the best part is they serve Starbucks so you can grab a latte and amazing breakfast all in one stop! read more

Worst scone I've ever had and that's sad. They microwaved it without me asking. It was crap to begin with. Heating only made it worse. Get rid of the bad pastries if you want to be legit! read more

I'm giving it 3 stars because it's a little too pricey for what u get. I bought a sandwich and a coffee and I payed 17$ ...they use Starbucks coffee if that's what you like. I don't think I'll be going back for lunch any time soon. read more

Terrible! Went for breakfast thinking that it is virtually impossible to screw up eggs and bacon. Well... I ordered the "Canadian Breakfast" which was described as Eggs, Bacon, Fresh Fruit, Potatoes and Fresh Baked Bread. Simple enough, right? Well, I got greasy eggs, 4 pieces of the fattiest bacon I've even seen, 1 strawberry and 1 cube a cantaloupe, a defrosted hash-brown and a piece of toast. The owner seemed charming and the baked goods looked appetizing, but based on my first experience, I will not be returning. read more

Attempted going 3 times and their website does not properly reflect their real hours of operations, so am not commenting on their foods/drinks...yet On the basis that they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner items, as well the fact they are a cafe in a residential area, they should give strong consideration of extending their hours to stay open until 8:30P Mon-Wed, perhaps until 10:30P on Thursdays and until 2A on Fridays/Saturdays. Especially with the summer months ahead, this would attract more regular clientele from the immediate and surrounding areas, who would like to enjoy a cafe & dolce, after dinner at home or at a friends, as well as after an end of week evening outing. Their current business hours are very limiting for them and potential clientele. Thanks for the consideration Cocoa Patisserie Boulangerie management! Sincerely, MJ Ms D'Meanor Food blogger/Corporate Concierge Specialist read more

The pace is under a new owner, and it has been changed in a very bad direction. The quality of food dropped significantly. They used to MAKE crepes, but now all crepes PRE-MADE. We ordered crepes with chicken . The girl just reheated the crepes , and put inside dry chicken. The taste was stale and awful. After she made crepes for us,she started to swipe the floor all over the place - dust was coming to our plates - what a mess! We live close by and we pretty often had coffee over there, not anymore. -- read more

It looks like the Cocoa Patisserie Boulangerie on Marine Drive has seen its better days... We have been there several times. The quality and service deteriorated over time and went downhill very quickly. The pastry is stale, even though they say it's the same day and fresh. It's not. The service is rude and slow. They also charge additional 20 cents if you want your tea or coffee double-cupped (have never seen it anywhere, really...). We won't be going there again. I gave them two starts b/c they did okay the first time we visited. read more

We just tried to go on Sunday July 19. While I waited outside with our dog my wife went in to order. "Where do I order?" she asked one young lady who snarled "Over There" and promptly disappeared into the bathroom. The unsmiling lady "over there" then proceeded to serve the people behind my wife who she knew. Very rude service. Will not go back. Food looked mediocre. LADY YOU ARE IN THE SERVICE WITH A SMILE BUSINESS. IF YOU DON"T LIKE DOING THAT THEN GO AWAY! read more

Extremely poor customer service. The owner and workers seem very annoyed at all times. The food is overpriced and mediocre. This place has a lot of potential because of its amazing location but it needs some renovations, some more attention in relation to cleanliness, and requires extensive customer service training. read more

Awful. Customer service sucks, food is microwaved, the back counter looks extremely filthy, would NOT recommend!!!!!!

Do not go there - it is nice location and good concept - but change of mgmt transformed great caffe to some cheap service place. For example, today the cashier has packed my cake, took my credit card and managed to bite and chew her sandwich - all of this simultaneously. The other day we ordered coffee and cakes - it was only 2 of us in that place and they completely forgot about us. we finished our cakes still no coffee- cashier and her helper both talking on cell phones. we got our coffees only after we went and asked . I liked going there before this lady and her younger helper daughter took over. They will not see me there anymore. read more

Lovely atmosphere, AMAZING crepes (just had the tuna and cheese crepe) and cute desserts. Friendly staff and dog friendly (there are bowls of water outside). read more

HORRIBLE customer service. Run by a family, this place portrays the miserable life of a married couple. I live in the area and used to visit the place often for lunch and coffee. I put up with the slow orders, wrong orders, inefficiencies for years. Recently, I ordered an iced latte which costed $4.95. I asked to pay by Visa but was told that I'd be charged an extra $0.25. I asked if I could change the order and get a regular ice coffee instead because I had enough cash for it. The woman refused to change the order and told me that the order was already put through. I have been to this place many times and they do not have a digital ordering process. They usually yell out the order. She was extremely rude and I told her I didn't want the coffee anyway. Afterwards, she yelled out, "cancel the ice latte" as if she put the order in the first place. TERRIBLE feedback from other neighbours in the area. Also, the quality of food and drinks is very poor. NEVER going back. They just lost a repeat customer read more

Very hit or miss. Sandwich was supposed to be hot and had a cold sauce on top. They microwave things there. Coffee was old- not fresh- last time I was there and the owners wife rudely denied that and then gave me less than what I paid for the coffee as a refund. Lentil soup is good tho! Owner is nice. They close earlier than the posted time. read more

The food is fresh and always delicious. They went out of their way to cater to dietary restrictions and even called the baker on the phone to find out if an item included dairy when we asked. Some signage would be helpful to direct the flow of traffic. read more

Very pleased with some of the pastries and savoury foods they serve, but was very disappointed with the service from the worker. An older lady with short blonde hair, very rude to a customer, I once overheard. I was sitting drinking their amazing Starbucks latte, and heard her rude chatter in Spanish to someone. Was a turn off really. read more

We were unable to get what we wanted because there was half an hour until closing... so settled for sandwiches from the case. Husbands bread was really hard, and my lettuce was frozen (even after the sandwich was toasted). We got a fruit crepe for my daughter, when she wouldn't eat it and made a funny face we tried it and the crepe itself tasted like raw onions... horrible! (and the strawberries were mushy and old. The croissant for my sandwich was good and the Starbucks coffee was good. Overall not worth it for the overpriced sandwich and crepe. We will not return. read more

Great view looking on to the lakeshore ! They also function as a Starbucks, we had their vanilla latte and mocha ! Exactly like I get it from Starbucks, cups and all with same prices. And they have amazing and cheap gelato.. the pistachio gelato was to die for ! I recommend sitting outside. Not the greatest interior. Service was decent although they could be more welcoming. Overall because of the Starbucks drinks, gelato and the view they have to offer I would visit again. I have not tried their food. read more

This cafe has been hit or miss for me. To be fair, I've only been there twice. The first time was an unexpected hit, the second time was a clear miss. Both of my pastries were totally rock hard and stale. It was the end of the day, yes, but I felt like I got ripped off paying full price for clearly dried up old pastries. I'm of the opinion that pastries in that condition shouldn't even be sold, unless they're being cleared out as 'day-olds'. Meh. read more

I have been to this place a few times. Every time, other than today I have had one of their sandwiches which were decent. A little pricey but ok. Today I went in with my mom and ordered from their all day brunch menu. We both ordered eggs Benedict. Wow! They were awful!! Like un-eatable. As I sit here and write this review I'm on the verge of throwing up. The eggs were hard cooked and the bacon was burnt. The potatoes were cold and stale and the fruit looked like it was sitting around cut in peaces for like a week. I'm thinking that everything was pre-cooked and the girls did a horrible job reheating. Absolutely gross. Also the hollandaise sauce tasted like mayo. I will never ever go back. read more

I saw the blonde lady touching food with her bare hands right after sneezing into her hand. Never going back. .

Had a tuna croissant and veggies crepe here for lunch today. Food was declicious and excellent value. Will definitely come back if I visit Humber Bay Park again. Great pastries too. Wish there is something like this near where we live. read more

Boulangerie cocoa on 58 marine Parade never closed it has always been open 7 days a week since September of 2010, so I really don't know where Jeff got his information from, the bakery has the most amazing collection of French Pastries, cakes,Viennoisserie, Breads, Sandwiches, Paninies,Crepes,Waffles,chocolates and brews Star Bucks coffee. It is definetly a place to try out , it has the most beautiful design, and a cozy cafe atmosphere. read more

I'm surprised by the lower review. Haven't tried any food menu items though. Staff and owner are always pleasant. Only coffee shop on Marine Parade Dr. They offer soy and almond milk. There's a view of the lake from outdoor seating. Usually busy. read more

Nice atmosphere but the owner is seriously rude to customers. Pastries are not baked daily, look one week old. They serve no frills quality Starbucks coffee. Don't waste your money in poor quality and customer service. read more

As soon as I walked in I noticed everything was covered in dust and there where fruit flys everywhere, I ordered an orangina and I noticed it was expired, I went to check the fridge for another one and I noticed all of them where expired! As soon as I got my breakfast I noticed they forgot to put something's on my plate! Wen I did get everything I noticed the watermelons were very dark, the blue berries where mushy, the bacon was drowning in grease, the hash browns where harder that rock, the salt came in little packages that spilled everywhere when you tried to use them, the bread was rock hard, burnt and cold! And worst of all when I put my eggs on my bread and proceeded to cut my bread it was so tough that I sent my eggs and bread flying when I finally managed to cut it! It fell on the floor and the manager picked it up but did not properly clean the floor and left the floor sticky and smelly from the yolk. The only good thing about this restaurant is that they try to brew starbucks ( but not very good if I might add) I would definitely not come back ever! read more
