They just put patio tables outdoors. My hubby and I took a bike ride today and stopped for cappuccino's and the best cinnamon bun in town. The frosting was amazing, the outdoor tables had a note letting us know they were sanitized. Love this place. read more

CoCo & Blu - Two cappuccino's and an amazing cinnamon bun outdoors in the shade of a tree. Fantastic! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

This cute cafe is perfect for a summer date, quick caffeine recharge, or a breezy study spot. They have a variety of caffeine drink options including tea. My go to from here is the matcha latte with almond milk. The atmosphere is lively, hip, and modern. They also have an outdoor seating area that is very nice and pet friendly as well. This cafe in located in downtown Arlington Heights so be prepared to street park. Next up, I hope to try their lunch options including salads and sandwiches. read more

CoCo & Blu - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

Very busy but service was still very quick and efficient. Banana toast was excellent, coffee is really good.

There are some shady practices at this property. Went for lunch during the week last week & was charged $3.00 per sandwich for extra bacon & avocado...they "forgot" to put the bacon OR avocado on any of the 4 sandwiches. This could be human error, but what was NOT human error is the fact that the employee attempted to steal one of our guest's purse. The purse was missing after our meal & the staff denied any knowledge of how it disappeared. When asked to review the security footage, was told that the cameras don't work. When the police arrived, the purse magically appeared & was told that someone had just turned the purse in (this could not be true because we stood outside the restaurant while waiting for the police). Do NOT trust this location to treat you honestly. Will not be returning and would advise that you think twice before supporting this business. read more

For starters, CoCo & Blu is adorable, very cozy, and had helpful waitstaff. They use bread from Phlour, an amazing bakery in Edgewater, which I love because it's one small business supporting another. I came here on a Sunday recently and had the signature quiche and a bloody. The quiche was pretty good, but not amazing. The bloody was underwhelming. It honestly just tasted like tomato juice with not a whole lot of added flavor. Much to my very shocking surprise, that bloody was $15....I have gotten countless Bloody Mary's in the city for cheaper and with more/better toppings. I just wish I would've stuck with coffee, based on the other reviews and that maybe then I wouldn't have been spending over $30 at a cafe for lunch, only to go home and snack because I was still hungry. Totally bummed by my experience here. read more

Nice atmosphere, friendly people, decent stuff, but $15 for a cappuccino and a bagel?! That's pretty insane, right? I mean $5 for a cappuccino, fine. Maybe $3 for a bagel, fair. But $15?! Come ON! And by the time the bagel came out my coffee was cold. So there's that too. read more

What a great spot! Terrific coffee options (as in high quality roasts from area local places, pour overs and espresso based drinks, etc), and really delicious food options. I had a quiche that was freshly made and wonderful, and my friend had a breakfast sandwich that was also amazing. Service was friendly and inviting. The space is gorgeous--decor is funky and comfortable, inviting for doing work, catching up with friends, and probably lots of Instagramming options. I'll absolutely be back as this offers all the things I want in a coffee shop+! read more

Amazing service and food! The lady at the counter recommended the oatmeal latte and it was very good. I also got the Turkey blt and that was fresh and beyond delicious ! read more

Friendly service, really great croissants, and quality coffee. This is such a cute place!

The atmosphere is comfortable and cozy. The service is amazing and the food is excellent

Came here for a nice Saturday morning coffee with my mom. The coffee was mediocre at best, for $5, I expected better. There is absolutely no flavor in my mocha that's supposed to have dark chocolate ganache. I have no desire to finish the coffee because it tastes like watered down coffee with a hint of chocolate. At this point just go to starbucks. read more

I and my friend went to have a brunch early in the morning, so parking was easy, Foods were fast served and delicious, ambient was old but cozy. I'd love to go again sometimes later. read more

Salmon salad is beautiful snd delicious. Creme Fraiche is divine. My go to for a drink is an Americano with a splash of heavy cream. A rare find for sure! awesome coffee and food and I cannot wait to enjoy evening menu. Love the decor, vibe! Can we clone this for every suburb downtown area? read more

Great atmosphere, but please please keep the cream on the counter fresh. It really belongs in a mini-fridge.

fantastic food, great coffee and coffee drinks, casual atmosphere. Love the French cafe vibe.

I came here for the first time last Friday and was greeted by some very friendly baristas at the bar. Sat down, and ordered a medium coffee (their signature one, the Dollop Berried Alive). It was delicious! Tasted as good as Starbucks' or Dunkin' Donuts' coffees, which are my other top favorites. And actually priced even cheaper than those other places surprisingly too! I think it's $2.25 for a medium coffee there? Compared to other places I've tried like Peet's and Calibre Coffee, I prefer Coco & Blu's coffee, and will most definitely come back here again soon! Highly recommended!! read more

Love the ambience of this place! Only gave 4 stars as they are always running low on pastries if you go in the afternoon.

Absolutely great drip coffee and wonderful service. Tremendous atmosphere. Been here twice from out of State and love it and am very picky about coffee. read more

The place is very artistic. I had a coffee and an avocado toast. They both were pretty neat. The Art work is really cool and I would encourage you to visit this place. read more

They had awesome specialty latte flavors like fireside lattes and oatmeal cookie lattes. We tried the fireside lattes and macarons and both were amazing! The atmosphere is great and they have awesome hours, even on the weekends. We will be back. Great service! read more

What a gem of a place to go for THE BEST ever cup of coffee, pastry or latte! The decor is perfect! Murals all over the walls with adorable furnishings! Perfect for breakfast lunch and brunch! Such a great and relaxing scene to visit with friends and grab a coffee and bite to eat! Service is quick kind and friendly! Don't skip if you are downtown Arlington Heights! There is outdoor seating as well! read more

This is a really nice place to have coffee. Very nice ambiance and nice to have actual dishes rather than plastic cups. However, it is not a place to get breakfast. Very over priced and service is incredibly slow. Coffee is good, food is ok at best and very slow. 40+ minutes for a sandwich that I could've made at home. Ordered a water at the table, which we were told would be brought to us, after 40 minutes waiting for my sandwich I finished eating it before I got water even. Coffee was tasty at least Update: left still waiting for water read more

Fantastic craft coffee. Super friendly staff. Welcoming and clean ambiance. Haven't tried any of the food beyond pastries yet but the menu looks great. Chocolate chip cookies are divine. read more

A great place for a weekday brunch or Saturday morning pastry, but an even better place for a Friday night drink and dessert! Here is their drink menu as of 5/28/2021. They also have a chocolate martini available that hasn't been listed yet, and it's incredible! read more

CoCo & Blu - Drink menu as of May 2021 - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

Really cute place for a quick coffee or to catch up with friends. I would highly recommend this place. Drinks and food were great!

CoCo & Blu is my new favorite coffee shop in Arlington Heights! The people who work there are always so friendly and fun! My absolute favorite coffee is the oatmeal cookie latte also the cinnamon rolls are to die for!!!! They also have fun cocktails at night. Once covid is over I am so excited to finally sit and drink coffee in the cafe--it is so beautifully decorated! read more

Great coffee drinks, food a little pricey but good quality. Huge shout out to staff who protected ALL customers (and employees) today by insisting an unmasked woman mask up. When she refused, rudely saying "it's not the law" (never mind people's health!) they said firmly but courteously, "We follow CDC recommendations and we will not serve you if you don't follow them like everyone else." This was a middle-aged woman clearly trying to intimidate the younger folks behind the counter but they stood their ground and kept everyone safe. This is now my go-to spot. read more

Their coldbrew is on point or should I say on tap? Beautiful decor. Free wifi. Love that a place like this exists especially if you miss high quality pastries and coffee drinks. read more

Great friendly service. Very cute ambience and seating. Good coffee, cocktails, and good food too!

5/5 for whoever insists on playing full taylor swift albums. Found this spot during the pandemic and continue to come back to remote work on days phone calls are light. Love watching it turn from coffee dates in the morning to after work drinks. Also the Avo Toast is *chefs kiss* read more

Charming and wonderful staff. The breakfast here is wonderful, my gyrl loves the Avocado Toast w/Tuna salad and I enjoy their wholesome breakfast sandwich. This low rating is due to a change in their latte (around June 2022), as it now tastes like extra strong burnt roasted coffee. read more

Went there a week ago and the place was super cute and comfy. I got the fox latte and it was delicious

This is a great place, cute ,coffee and pastries are good, reminds me of Europe, so glad this place is here

Overall poor experience. At entry way there were a pile of menus. After my date and I decided on Quiche, we were told they were only served at lunch. Then why have the menu's out? We order 2 appetizers, mushrooms and the warm charcuterie board. It was advertised with warm pretzel bread. We received a cold pretzel and all the items had little to no flavor. Nothing tasted fresh. There were only 5 small mushrooms and were covered with cold walnuts. The entire time we were in, there were flies flying around our table. I did not want to complain in front of my date, but I feel that this location failed on so many levels. Also, you don't receive a paper receipt, so you don't know if you are billed correctly. Lastly overpriced for poor quality food. Never again! read more

CoCo & Blu is an excellent spot in downtown Arlington Heights. Their sandwiches, salads and soups are all great and their coffee makes the atmosphere so much warmer. Highly recommended for a cozy spot to be with friends and family!! read more

Very nice ambiance and great coffee. However, I had a terrible experience yesterday. Visited around 10:10 PM. The closing time was 11 PM. The salesperson told me the business was slow so they were closing soon. The tone was polite and I was offered a take-out. The unique experience I seek at this place is to sit, relax, and enjoy $7 coffee in a mug. I can get good coffee in a paper cup at many places. Somehow, this 'we are closing early due to slow business' experience diluted my impression of this place as a first-class coffee shop. read more

Excellent service, beautiful decor, food is great!!!!! Arlington Heights needed a gem like this. Highly recommended!! read more

What a lovely place! Delicious foods and drinks. Yelp has the wrong closing time. They are open until 11:00

Just tried this place and it's great! Their nitro cold brew is delicious, and they conveniently listed the brand/roast used in case you want to know or buy. I also loved the vintage-meets-modern design. Plus, they were keeping everything very sanitary--wearing masks, outdoor seating only, wiping down tables, and offering order ahead/pickup. I will definitely be going back! If you're walking around the Arlington Heights outdoor dining area or just in the neighborhood, you should definitely check this place out! read more
