My family and I have been coming to this Cocohodo location ever since they first opened since my mom's favorite Korean supermarket to this very day is Hannam Chain. I can't vouch for anything else that they serve but their walnut pastries are out of the world amazing. I've had walnut pastries elsewhere but they are nowhere is good as the ones from Cocohodo. read more

For their signature walnut pastries, aka hodo gwaja, it's a 5/5. They are just such a delicious treat. Filled with red bean and walnut, they come out warmed and sold in varying sized packs. The shaved ice on the other hand was pretty basic. Wouldn't come back for that. Mango was canned and not great. It's a small shop with limited space. read more

We've been coming here for many years. It's one to go to if you like walnuts and pastry. The person helping Jenny is very friendly and it's clean inside and in front of their store. You can sit and enjoy some walnut pastry or have a drink, smoothie or shaved ice. They bake twice a day, 9am and 2pm so if you want it fresh order in advance at pick it up at that time. They also have a 20% off on day old walnut pastry "cocohodo". 20 pieces is $15. They also have an 8 piece, 50 piece or more option. read more

I ordered a shaved ice yesterday and noticed the employee was taking orders and handling cash before going back to prepare my shaved ice without washing her hands. I initially overlooked it, but then saw her use her bare hands to handle the confectionery toppings going directly onto my shaved ice. I was uncomfortable accepting the order and asked for the refund. I understood she was working alone and short staffed, but proper handwashing and food handling need to be followed. I was looking forward to having shaved ice on such hot day but didn't work out that way read more

Was eating kbbq next door and noticed their matcha sign outside the store so decided to get drinks here after we were done eating. I got their strawberry matcha. I'm very picky when it comes to strawberry matcha because I've had some where the strawberry is too over powering that I can't taste the matcha. Their strawberry matcha was honestly delicious. I like that their strawberry wasn't too overpowering so I could still taste the matcha. I love that they add fresh strawberry bits inside as well! Make sure to give it a good mix!! read more

Food: 7/10 Service: 7/10 Ambiance: 6/10 Maybe I was expecting the walnut pastries to be more fresh, especially because they were made today. I love cocohodo, so I thought the quality would be better, but it was just so mushy.. I'm still going back because I LOVE walnut pastries, but I'm hoping the quality will be better the next time I go. I did go close to closing, so I will try again. read more

I ordered a green tea latte that was incredibly bitter and undrinkable. The powder was floating in clumps. We asked if we could switch drinks because we physically could not drink it, but the servers were dismissive and rude. I then asked for a cup of milk to at least dilute the powder, but it did not do anything to help with the horrendous taste. Would not recommend coming here. read more

I miss when this location was back in Garden Grove. Thankful I ran into it to reminisce on the amazing pastries! I got the Mini Small Box (12 pieces). These pastries are filled with a perfect mix of red bean and walnuts. Not too sweet and just the right portion for a crunchy and soft bite. It's delicious when you eat it warm and good for 1-2 days after when heated, but nothing beats the first bite. Order the right amount so you can avoid reheating! read more

Came across this unique little bakery while rushing to get home after kbbq since we were on a bit of a time crunch and an hour away from home. But! Decided to take a peek and try this place! Service was quick, we immediately ordered a little bag of 10 pieces as soon as we walked into this cute little bakery/cafe. Didn't have a clue as to what we were ordering but it was interesting enough for us to try! They're basically little moon cakes? That's what I can compare them to. Walnut shaped, red bean filling, and with a walnut inside for extra texture and crunch. Delicious and warm as soon as they give it to you! It definitely wasn't as good the next day but eating it fresh was super delicious! Love that they're also individually wrapped so it's easily shareable. Definitely want to check out what other stuff they have next time we're in the area! IG: @ammysalamii read more

Another Cocohodo review. This location is larger and by the BCD tofu house. After spicy tofu meal, you can stop by here to sit and sip on sweet drinks or get some hiding for the road. Plenty of parking, clean interior and friendly staff. Repeat! read more

These are everywhere so decided to finally give it a try. They sell these pastry balls with redbean and a walnut inside. Hard to believe that one can do a multi location business with those but here we are. The pastries are pretty good actually. Individually wrapped with smallest package of 10 for $7. Ice afternoon snack. This location also sells ices, camaroons, and of course various coffees. Seating available inside and out so pleasant to hang out and snack. Service was friendly. read more

Amazing place,Super friendly. walnut treats are delicious. I will definitely be coming back. I Love this place.

Food 4/5 Ordered the Very Berry Shaved Ice and Strawberry Smoothie. The shaved Ice was very good, I'm usually not a fan of red bean but I didn't mind it in here. Just wish both were a little bit sweeter, but the fruits were refreshing. Ate after KBBQ next by, always room for desert! Customer service friendly and patient. read more

September 2023, Located in a busy Korean Shopping Center. The shop offers a variety items; Walnut cookies, Coffee, Macaron. The original location use to be in the Korean Market in La Palma prior to it moving to this new building. As soon as I walked in the staff greeted me with their warm hospitality. The shop has a few seating areas for the customers. To the left by the register their was a display of package sizes for the Walnut cookies with pricing. I opted for the mini small package that came with 12 walnut cookies. The cookies were made to order so they were warm when i received them. read more

I love these walnut shaped delicacies, and when it's made fresh, fre things can beat this. They have a variety of traditional Korean teas and shaved snow options too. I really wanted to try their pinenut snow ice, but they were out - so i will definitely come back for it! I had Ssang-hwa-cha which is mixed herbal drink, and it warmed me right up. If you like trying unique drinks, try it ;) read more

We stopped by to get some drinks; we ordered the mango smoothie and citrus tea. The cashier was friendly. They were both so delicious and refreshing. They hit the spot as they weren't too sweet. We also ordered some walnut cakes to go and they were very delicious. I would definitely return to try more drinks on the menu as they had a big selection. read more

First time here and we ordered dippin' dots, a couple of lattes, espresso drinks, and their walnut pastries. All tasted good and the younger server was great but we had a strange interaction with the owner... Everything was fine until that awkward moment that the owner told us that we all needed to sit. We were a party of 11 and most of us were already sitting except two of us because we were actually getting ready to leave, but she felt strongly enough about some of us standing that she leaned out over the counter just to tell us that we all need to sit down, like we were a bunch of toddlers or something. I thought that was a bit rude and quite unnecessary... this isn't a table service kind of place and why even talk down in that condescending manner to paying customers?! Such a weird and annoying experience. Rudeness is a hot button for me, so needless to say, we won't ever come back. This isn't a welcoming establishment. read more

Yum! Their walnut pastries are filled with sweetened red bean paste and contain one crunchy walnut inside. They are best eaten warm. Do not wait to eat them as they will get dry! They come individually wrapped, which is nice for sharing. Gift boxes of their pastries are available. read more

The owner reheats the previous day's batch. I picked up some at 10:30am and it was hard. Its not supposed to be hard. These things cost very little to make and yet the owner couldnt be bothered to make a new batch? Terrible quality control. Says a lot about the franchise owner. read more

Very cute little cafe! I've been the restaurants at this plaza several times, and have always seen this place with their large posters promoting their famous walnut pastries. Finally, it was my first time trying them and must I say, they were DELICIOUS. They're walnut pastries with a red-bean filling and served WARM. Small, warm pastries definitely have my heart. I also tried their Affogato, which is espresso shots poured over vanilla ice cream. I've never tried this before, but the concept was very appealing considering I love coffee ice cream. It was creamy and super flavorful. I loved the vanilla ice cream's sweetness yet still feeling very awaken by the espresso shots. Definitely recommend giving this a try! They don't play much music (not sure if it was only that day). Their wifi password shows on their receipt after you've purchased something. Downside is there aren't any outlets to plug in your laptop or anything, so it was hard to stay for long. I usually expect cafes like these to be study- or work-friendly, but this wasn't the case. It appeared like a great study joint, but lacked many things. So, overall, great place to pick up some walnut pastries, but I wouldn't be staying there for too long unless you're just gonna chat with some friends (hopefully they'll play some music lol) read more

I would drive 30 minutes to get some of their delicious walnut pastry...but then today, I read the ingredients written in Korean and behold...the red bean is not from Korea or from United States...I care what I eat and especially with my kids and all. So disappointed in their use of this particular ingredient. I guess it's all about their bottom line. I'm done with this company. Yelp flagged me for mentioning the country source...Oh well, I'll try again. read more

This location is small, however, this delicious Korean walnut party is so yummy! Once you eat one, you'll want to eat another one! You can also buy coffee here to enjoy with your pastry! The people working here are very nice too! read more

Been here a handful of times over the last few years, and I have to say that their quality has gone down. You can tell that they now use a lesser quality of red bean paste and the size of the walnut inside their famous pastries has also decreased in size. The service was quick and helpful but red bean walnut pastry is a total miss now. I hope they can revisit their quality and bring back their original recipe. read more

Always good flavor and nice and clean! Strongly recommend this snack for friends who want to try Korean traditional street food read more

Needed a pick me up with a cheap iced coffee. Since I only had about 10 minuted to down the coffee, I figured I would save my favorite place (stereoscope) and try a $3 house coffee locally. What I expected was a unsophisticated brew, no character, a bit bold and burnt, but I was wrong: Ordered: Iced house coffee, black. $3.00 What I received was a perfectly timed single origin cold brew. FOR THREE DOLLARS!! I can taste the subtle notes of berry and that dance of florals. Great!! Its on par with MADE Coffee's $3 cold brew that they only keep at that price until 11am. Score: 5/5 Service/Location: Very nice girl up front. Excellent customer service. It's clean and packed to the brim with retired people. Score 5/5 Will return for your other thinks!! read more

My favorite spot. Warm walnut pastries, coffee, and friendly service. My life is complete.

Inappropriate attitude of the owner- Bought a large bag and sat outside of the store to eat. While we are eating them, our kids played Simon Says games and the owner said to have the kids sit on their seats. read more

I ALWAYS make a stop here for a post-meal sweet snack whenever I'm visiting CA. Cocohodo's walnut and red bean pastries are freshly made to order. They also serve various coffee drinks that pair well with the pastries. The service is always fast and you can even order them to go! The pastry itself is so unique, I highly recommend trying them out, it's a great way to finish a meal. read more

The ice cream macaroons, whatever. Coffee, whatever. The star is definitely the little pasties filled with red bean and walnuts! They look like walnuts too! I know you can get these at other stores, but these were so yummy! Especially when they were warmed up! The inside was cute but obvi can't eat inside there now. The little walnut balls are a great treat or gift option! The coffee goes well with it too! (Even though it's just regular schmegular) They did have some tables outside though! So if you're lucky, you can snag one and enjoy the walnut treat! read more

I had no idea what this place was about but thanks to Yelp I got to try it. Their main item is a Korean pastry with walnut and red bean paste on the inside. They also sell drinks. Tried the small bag with 10 warm pastries each individually wrapped. I appreciated that I didn't have to touch them with my hand. I uploaded the updated prices for their menu. It comes out to less than 50 cents a pastry. The bean paste wasn't overly sweet luckily. Slight sweetness with a nice crunch from the walnut. Loved the pastry. Goes well with coffee. So glad I got to try it. I would come back again. read more

Small place with both indoor and outdoor seating, quick service, competitive prices in the plaza. And if you eat in, they heat up the walnut pastry for you! The walnut pastries are sold in many different packages, up to 36 count. But you can also buy individual ones ($0.48 apiece), and if you eat in they will heat them up for you. The outer shell is a semi-sweet bread with crushed walnut pieces in it, and the inside filling is a red bean paste. When heated, it's almost like a chocolate lava cake, not as sweet but just as good. They also have 2 types of shaved ice, one based on water (more expensive) and one based on milk. We opted for the later, and I would recommend it. The shaved milk produced a cream as it melted, enjoyable sensation and tasty. The strawberry flavor comes with a thinly sliced strawberry, a red syrup, pink powder, some mochi, and sliced walnut. It was light and refreshing, with the nuts providing a crunch. read more
