Popped in for shaved ice and walnut pastry after dinner. There are only 3 shaved ice options (green tea, berry, and coffee) and 3 sizes (small, medium, large). Opted for the medium green tea (~$7) and box of 12 walnut pastries (~7). The green tea shaved ice didn't have much flavor so we ended up mixing the ice cream with the ice. Also could have used more condensed milk -- you can never have enough! All shaved ice also comes with mochi, a few pieces of walnuts, and red bean. Walnut pastries were bite sized walnut shaped pastries filled with mashed red beans and a walnut. Pretty tasty and easy to eat. Cocohodo is located in a shared plaza, near Cham Soot Gol. read more

Berries...berries...berries My heart's desire on a cool night searching the city for a raspberry smoothie. Out with my diabetic hold on my body. I sought to please my berry desires which overwhelmed my mind. I couldn't help myself as I pondered slightly until I saw my specialty listed above. Sitting at the table, admiring the cleanliness of this place, what took minutes, appeared to be so lengthly a time. At last, my desires were quenched as a very energetic smiling employee brought my craving desire.. Off I went into the sunset immensely sipping away every last drop. read more

You have to come at the right time. Sometimes the hodo ghwaja are fresh out of the oven, and sometimes they are still warm, but not so hot you can barely hold them. They cool quick, so keep the bag/ box closed when you aren't pulling on out! If you have a good batch, after you unwrap it, you should barely be able to hold it without your fingers feeling hot hot hot! They let you sample a "cookie" if you haven't tried it before. It has more red bean than most hodo places, which is a place. I like my batter slightly crispier, though. I like how they are individually wrapped in tissue paper. I feel like each one is a present. Also, if I'm sharing, I don't want someone else's hands brushing up against my hodo ghwaja! The cheapest coffee they have tastes pretty gross. The Americana, however, is nice and strong, and has food flavor. It's only a 50 cent difference, so I would rather get a medium bag of hodo to share, and the more expensive coffee. The place is cute enough, but something about the design makes sound echo like crazy. I've seen people with their laptops and textbooks. I do not know how they study in there! I would bring a headset, lol. Overall, it's nice to have an area where you can sit, eat, and sip while you talk and munch on this traditional snack, rather than grabbing them from a street vendor and eating them while you walk. read more

Cocohodo - Individually wrapped Hodo Ghwaja and Americana coffee - Desserts Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

This shaved ice place was just alright, nothing too special. I felt like there wasn't enough flavor or toppings. Once the layer of the green tea flavor was gone it's literally all ice. I think there are better shaved ice places in the area. read more

We got Matcha binsoo. Their shaved ice was rough and bland. Green tea ice cream tasted artificial and mochi was apparently from package. I def have better one from Sul&Beans. I think they should add more toppings on the shaved ice. It was just very disappointing. Also their yuzu tea was overly sweetened and small. It was so sweet that i can't even finish. The place was kind of dead on Tuesday night and now I know why. They should improve flavors on whatever they are serving! read more

Their walnut pastries are to die for!! The concept is so unique and I've never found anything like it anywhere else. They taste soooo good when they're fresh and I could demolish the whole bag in minutes. It's a soft pastry shell filled with a walnut and red bean paste. They generally come in a bag of 10 pieces! Although I'm not a local, I stop by when I'm in the area:) recommend! read more

This 2-star rating is for my (trying to) study experience here. I've been here once before for a get-together with a friend several months ago, and that was when I first got introduced to their tasty walnut pastry and relatively unique drinks. Since then, I've been looking for an excuse to come back and viola, it shows up when I yelped "best places to study in Rowland Heights" so thought I'd give it a try! Well, this was certainly a disappointing experience, primarily because the WIFI DIDN'T WORK! I think it's important that yelpers know this before coming here, spending $10 on a drink and pastries, ready for an afternoon of work, only to find out that they can't. But wifi aside, the walnut pastries we got were also not as good as last time -- lukewarm at best. We bought too many; hopefully the microwave will help once we bring them home. I ordered a yogurt smoothie, not wanting to have caffeine, and it was okay (though a bit pricy, ~$4.50). Probably the best part of the experience, relative to the pastries and the wifi. All in all, maybe I'll come back .... but certainly not to study here. read more

This place a great for a coffee break. The ambience is really chill. The owners are always very polite and friendly. I usually get the sea salt ice coffee and the walnut pastries. I recommend this place much more than any big coffee chain. read more

I came here with my friend after eating dinner. The place was pretty empty when we arrived but a few people came in while we were ordering. The decor is very cute and cozy. My friend and I both got the fruit shaved ice and it was delicious! They had strawberries, bananas l, red bean, and a few other toppings that worked so well together. It took a little bit of time before we got our shaved ice but it was definitely worth it. read more

First timers coming here. On June 15th we came here to try their shaved ice. So this review is solely on this one dessert we ordered. Don't order it. It's the fruit shaved ice. We bought a large, $10. the bottom was full of ice and VERY tiny bit of i believe of strawberry syrup (so faint you can hardly see it). The top only had a ring of fruit around a dollop of red bean and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Other places layer the ingredients so your able to enjoy the flavor all the way to the bottom, but no this place had everything on top and by the time we got to the middle we were just enjoying ice. Oh... i forgot to mention they sprinkled some fruity pebbles on top (not a good idea). Service was nice: the guys behind the counter were friendly. Hence the 2 stars and not 1. read more

Cocohodo - Fruit Shaved Ice - Desserts Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

So I came here on a Saturday afternoon with my friends to catch up, and we ordered: Small green tea shaved ice- pretty good! Nothing special Sea salt coffee- disgustingly sweet :( Walnut pasty- Get this! It's filled with red bean and a walnut. The total was about $10 (I got 3 walnut pastries). The place isn't too big or small, and is decorated very cute! The strange thing about this place was it was crowded with older generation Korean people... My friends and I actually had to sit at the high table because every other table / chair was taken. It's really odd that a place I would otherwise think is for high school students and up to hang out at was filled with 50+ year old people :O The food was just okay... And my friends are I felt a little weirded out with the crowd there, so we ended up leaving. The place is located in a small Korean plaza, but parking is usually not too hard to find. I don't think I will be back :( and if I am, it'll only be to drop by for a walnut pasty read more

Cocohodo - Sea salt coffee, three walnut pastries, and a small green tea shaved ice! - Desserts Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

For some reason I really didn't like this place. The shaved ice was definitely nothing special. I'm only making such a statement because there's way better Korean shaved ice around Diamond Bar/Rowland Heights area. Also for the $ you really get very little so it wasn't satisfying. My friend were super excited to try their walnut red bean pastry but after we sat down to try it, we all came into a consensus that it was dry and not very flavorful. BUT ending on a positive note: This place services dipping dots and the workers are nice. Lastly, wouldn't recommend this place as an ideal study spot. The a/c isn't really blowing and layout is more cafe convo set up than it is for studying. read more

Yes, we are here for walnut pastries. Very addictive. Sometimes, we get Dippin' Dots as well.

This place is known more for their red bean walnut pasties than anything else. Cocohodo is a little dessert spot, I often see people here with their laptops too as it is a pretty quiet spot. They have macaroons, shaved ice, teas, coffees, waffles. Other than the walnut pastries (which you can order in bulk) - this make a cute little gift that you can bring to someones house, their green tea shaved ice - with red bean, mochi, and green tea ice cream topped with condensed milk is really popular. If you want to order the Walnut pastries in bulk, they have it in: BAG ===== Small Bag (9pcs) - $3.75 Medium Bag (15pc) - $5.95 Large Bag (21pc) - $7.95 GIFT BOX ======== Mini box (12pc) - $5.75 Handy Box (15 pc) - $6.95 Mini Medium Box (22pc) - $9.95 Small Box (36 pc) - $15.95 Medium Box (56 pc) - $22.95 Large Box (84 pc) - $34.95 This makes a cute gift for friends or family. read more

Well decorated and can accommodate large parties. However, the place does not have A/C and only 1 out of 5 outlets worked. They had fans going to keep it cool inside but with only one fan on the floor and another fan for the employees, you wouldn't be able to stay cool unless you order one of their shaved ices (i didn't). I did order an iced tea (passion fruit and green tea). it was borderline tasteless. This place is popular with the older crowd, so while i was studying a couple big groups came in to hang out. We were asked to move tables to accommodate them. read more

in the area and wanna try a new place? wanna try a place that has a little of everything? need a caffeine fix? cocohodo is the place to check out! ordered: *green tea latte slush/iced- not bad. on their top ten list of favorite drinks. if you are a fan of green tea latte than i say this is must. i killed it pretty fast. they can make this drink hot if you prefer it warm. *Affogato-serves klatch coffee. i like the fact that it doesn't come mixed already. you get your espresso shot on the side and your ice cream. definitely strong coffee. but oh so good! on their top ten list of favorite drinks. they got lots of little goodies i.e. macaroons, mochi, waffle, tiramisu, etc. so whatever your hearts desires they got it! i felt a little overwhelmed to be honest because i couldn't decide if i wanted sweet treats too or just a drink. they have a big menu. they weren't too busy and the staff was ready to take my order at the counter as i was trying to decide/narrow down my choices but at the end of the day hubby and i would come back. we were happy with our orders. i definitely am a fan and would recommend it to my fellow yelpers! 2 thumbs up! tips: *cash and credit card accepted *shared parking lot w/other businesses *indoor/outdoor seating *restroom is available for customers *they do social media *has more than one location *staff speaks korean *free wifi read more

Who knew walnut and red bean would go together so well? The walnut's nutty crunch paired with the red bean's perfect level of sweetness makes for a surprisingly addicting bite. The best part is that their walnut pastries are always served to you hot and fresh! They still taste really good heated up in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds too. They go great with some hot tea or coffee. Their pastries are so affordable. When I calculate it, they go for about 50-60 cents a piece in the snack bag. I also love that they offer gift box options with a good range of sizes. Their packaging is super cute. Besides walnut pastries, they also sell macarons, shaved ice, and drinks. Their grain latte is really good! I've also tried their yogurt smoothie, which tastes like Yakult. Their drinks are a tad pricey though. The cafe aesthetic is warm and inviting. Great place to chat or to study since they have free wifi. Cocohodo makes a great snack on the go or a gift for someone. I'm craving it as I write this review right now! read more

Maybe because of the Christmas holiday that people were busy shopping that I was able to get here without a line. Ordered Cocohodo's gift sized goodies that also came with free wrapping! Got them really fresh and warm and gave them away for Christmas! This place is clean and very cozy. They also serve drinks and macaroons! Love it! read more

Excellent find. Didn't see too many pictures of the smoothies here so I didn't really know what to expect but boy was I pleasantly surprised. Great portion, very thick & creamy and super refreshing, hella juicy too. Even better is knowing how close it is to where I live. I'll definitely be coming back and perfect timing with summer in the horizon. read more

I'm sorry but I don't like the walnut pastry. It's just not my thing. I didn't try the drink when I was there, so could comment anything on it. read more

Cocohodo - I don't quite get what the hype is about this pastry - Desserts Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Space here is spacious yet there's a lot of people during rush hour and service is not up to par. The desserts gets delivered in a very slow manner. I will not visit this place unless I absolutely have too. Parking is abundant for the most part, but it can be tough depending on rush hour. Price is average approximately $4-6 bucks for drinks. read more

Not crowded here so you wont have to wait long to get your fix of red bean filled, walnut shaped, little pancake treats. We got 20 for around $10. it costs more if you want your little treats in a box (around $2-3 more). The walnut pastries are pre-made so the service is quick and they are kept heated so they'll be warm when you receive them. They also sell drinks/boba and accept cards using! read more

After my hair appointment or eat at near by restaurant with friends & family, this is my go the place for dessert & coffee. Nice clean, quiet, relaxing spot for laptop or chats with friends and family. The owner is super friendly. One time after family gathering dinner at Chinese restaurant I the same plaza, we came here for dessert & spent over 2 hours chatting and needed more coffee so my sister in law went to paid but the owner lady refill the coffees for free happily. We spent good open talk & bonding time. Thank you !!! We'll be back:) read more

I'm not big on walnuts but worth a trying this place.. Cocohodo has a walnut type dessert which is individually wrapped. Dessert is shaped like a walnut consisting of sweet bread with red bean paste and walnuts inside. If they used a yellow sweet bean instead, i'd like this dessert a bit more. Not bad for a $0.33/each served in boxes or bags. read more

Cocohodo - Walnut dessert. Worth a try.. - Desserts Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

This location is quite easy to find. It is in this little Korean plaza and there's plenty of parking spaces in the lot. They have a seating area for you so you can come here and enjoy their well known pastry and coffee with your friends. The walnut pastry- with red bean filling and a piece of walnut in it. It is warm and fresh ( they make it the day of ) and is a very popular snack in Korea. I find that similar to some Chinese dessert with red bean in it (sesame ball) I really like it and I had before in nor cal. The location is clean and the staff are nice. The cashier was recommending their iced tea series and I was thirsty so I opted for a mango iced tea... However, the iced tea taste nothing like mango in it and was just bitter tea with ice.... I shouldn't have gotten it lol. When I mentioned it to her, she said its like that cause it's unsweetened.... But there was really no mango flavor in it whatsoever. read more

I have cut back on sweets significantly in the New Year but couldn't resist stopping in... There was a bunch of Korean housewives socializing and having coffee/tea with these desserts. When I walked in, the two employees were SO focused on what they were doing, they didn't notice me. This sweet but goofy guy looked up and handed me two beautifully wrapped packages and I told him they weren't for me. He then looked around to see who they were for and still couldn't figured it out :o They sell shaved ice, smoothies, organic teas, coffee, and only their signature walnut pastry: pancake/waffle filled with red beans, whole pieces of walnuts and shaped in a walnut mold and then individually wrapped beautifully in a piece of paper. They are served warm and delicious! I just tried one for portion control and no one in my household likes these kind of things :o I just wanted to get a organic hot tea but their really unique lattes caught my eyes... I asked the guy about the Grain Latte ($3.75) and he looked puzzled and said, "it has grains":o He then got the girl and told me it is actually her favorite, explaining it was a healthy drink with grains and beans grounded into a powder and is only lightly sweetened. I knew it was for me and ordered it hot instead of blended. It was truly a delicious and healthful tasting drink with some coarse ground pieces of beans for texture. I think they have a black sesame latte that I will definitely try next time especially since I discovered the BEST place for gel nails next door :p read more

(review of drink only) Nice quiet place :). Me and a few friends came by to try it out on a Wednesday night. It was pretty empty when we arrived (around 8pm). Inside looks very modern and clean which is always nice! The lady helping us seemed a little tired so I assume it must have been a long day for her, and her customer service reflected that. Looking at the menu I decided on getting a black bean slush which came out pretty good. Definitely not that sweet, but it had that dessert black bean taste which was great! They have a good selection of other teas, slushes, and pastries that are pretty unique to a small Korean Cafe. Overall I would only go if a friend wanted to come here. Service :3/5 Taste:4/5 read more

The Cocohodo in Rowland Heights seems to be about the same size as the Buena Park location, but there seems to be double the amount of staff behind the register. Interesting... Maybe, it's because they just recently opened and they're training the workers. Me and my buddies were pleasantly greeted with a loud, "AHN YOUNG HA SAY YO," which is a formal way of saying hello in Korean. Good way to acknowledge our ackward entrance. I didn't ask for a sample because I knew exactly what I wanted. Hodo Gwaja. Mixture of walnut, red bean paste, and dough molded into a walnut shape. Snack Pack - 15 pieces - 5 bucks. These bite size morsels pack quite a punch, especially when they're warm. Personally, I think they're way better when it's piping hot (15 seconds in the microwave) cause they just melt in your mouth. Add a cup of my favorite Nescafe Taster's Choice French Roast Instant Coffee and I shed a tear cause they're so damn good. I buy the snack bags cause they're cheaper but order the gift boxes if I want to make an impression. Bought a gift box for this year's Super Bowl's party and by the end of the night, I was named the MVP. I like the service here better. They're quite friendly and seem to truly appreciate my business. Noticed the usual Korean ajumma's (middle aged women) from church occupying the nearby tables. No difference from the Buena Park location. Rating - 5 stars Cause how can you not like the Hodo Gwaja? read more

My family and I stopped by Cocohodo for some coffee and walnut pastries after lunch last weekend. The walnut pastries were really fresh and good, but I have to say the coffee here is not great. I ordered a hot hazelnut coffee and it was very bland. My husband had the iced hazelnut coffee and that was even more bland, like they just added a bunch of ice to the hot coffee. However, the cappuccino and the strawberry smoothie were pretty good. I'll just have to remember not to get the coffee here next time. read more

This spot took a little while for me to find, but it's in the same plaza as Cafe Bene. It's a cute, quaint spot with a good amount of seating. From what I've noticed, many people order to go so you won't have to fight for a seat. Downside is that there aren't too many outlets so hopefully you're lucky enough to grab a seat next to one if needed. I love the way they plate the drinks. They're put on these wooden trays. I had the ice blended green tea latte which was awesome. My teammate (I came here to work on a group project) ordered the Asian puffs with red bean inside them are they were so fresh! Super light, steamy, and sweet (like I like my men JUST KIDDING LOL). I would definitely come here again to study or catch up with friends over a drink or snack. Prices are reasonable and workers are very friendly. read more

Craving a coffee and they were one of the few open Sunday at 10am. Came in for a drink, and ended up with 5 drinks and a medium walnut pastry box....bc why not it's the weekend! Turns out my wife is familiar with the popular walnut pastries, so points for me. Woohoo! This spot seems local and family-owned. Glad they're open and happy to support! read more

in terms of baked goods Cocohodo ONLY shells out individually wrapped walnut red bean pastries.. but they also offer cafe drinks & shaved ice if you want to sit and chit chat SMELLS GREAT right as you walk in.. they sell day old pastries but the fresh ones are so cheap you might as well get 'em hot.. a snack bag of 9 is just $3! --walnut shaped pastry w/ a walnut in the center of the red bean filling: not too sweet but i guess i'm not a huge fan of red bean filling.. great snack though! I may want to come back for the shaved ice or sweet potato latte, but i'm not a huge fan of the Walnut pastries read more

I went here due to all the Yelp reviews and was pleasantly surprised. We had the coco shaved ice dessert, which was good, but I can't say it was especially great. However, I don't think you can get this type of shaved ice flavor in other places since I heard it's specific to Koreans, but I could be wrong. What I liked about this place is what they are more known for their walnut pastries. These things were really good. I also liked that the service was great and when we ordered the pastries, you can get them gift wrapped at the store. Overall, I really liked the pastries and the service at this place was great. I plan to go here again. read more

Am so glad stumble at this little place, at 1st didn't know what to order and afraid to if I'm not liking it, told the lady at the counter that this is my 1st time here, so she let me take my time to browse the menu a little bit. Was deciding to get a small bag, then there was this ahjussi overheard me and he gave me sample to try. There it was little cute round ball wrapped in a parchment paper, this ball was still warm, with a thin layer of cake outside (imagine deli manjoo but thinner), warm not overly sweet red bean puree and there's big crunchy walnut in it. So good and sooo addicting. Ended up buying a medium box $20 (36 balls) and macarons. These balls can stay outside for 3 days and in the fridge/freezer after. You can eat it frozen (like ice cream) or if you prefer warm, pop these in the airfryer for 10 mins. Definitely will be back for more next time I'm in the area. It has good box for gifting as well. read more
