    Nice place to grab n go or go on a coffee date. Ordered the Banana Hot Chocolate, it was good. The service was great & fast. Park in the garage & walk. Check it out

    While walking down Santana row, this is such a cute little bakery to check out. I found out that they update their decorations in their desserts seasonally. I had gone during Halloween and they had so many cute desserts, I wanted them all. I went recently and service was very fast so know what you want. Im a suckered for chocolate so really can't go wrong with anything there. Their mango mousse is Devine as well.

    Good spot on Santana Row to grab some ice cream, a pastry, or beautiful dessert. Staff was nice, coffee was fine. Plenty of seating but I was also in at about 9 am. Not many options for protein unfortunately

    Amazing favorite spot I visit to get my #1 Palmier and Bamboo Very comfortable place to come and seat and eat to enjoy a peaceful time. I do recommend Cocola Bakery to all.

    Come for the pastries, desserts, and drinks, and not so much for the service. Not very pleasant staff, IMO. Santana Row stuffiness, perhaps? Like I need them more than they need me as a customer. We came here basically because they were open late for a cafe. I'll save the calories, money, and grumps the next time I have a craving.

    Fruit Tart
    Vania B.

    Ordered their whole fruit tart for Thanksgiving, and it was ok! Even though the description says it has a raspberry mousse, it was actually mango (I should have taken a picture of the yellow inside)... At least it tasted delicious! The frangipan and butter crust tasted dense, but at least the flavor was there. They also misspelled Thanksgiving and the writing was a bit sloppy. For an $80 fruit tart, I expected better. I normally like Cocola's cakes, but this may be a pass in the future.

    This is a cute lovely cafe for some pastry and quick rest after strolling in Santana Row. My friend and I got the strawberry croissant, apple tart, orange soda and a chai latte. I love that their croissant is crispy and flakey, unlike some cafes where croissant looked good but was too soft and soggy. The latte also come in a huge mug!

    Non-edible decorations on Napoleon.

    Very disturbing experience at Cocola Bakery. The Napoleon pastry was decorated with a pink square piece with the cafe name on it. I assumed it was edible -- maybe chocolate, sugar paper, or a wafer decoration. Instead, it turned out to taste and feel like dense cardboard and was completely impossible to chew. This is honestly dangerous. Someone could easily choke trying to eat it because it is placed directly on the dessert with absolutely no warning that it is not edible. I have never seen a bakery put non-edible decorations on pastries without informing customers. This is irresponsible and unacceptable. Very disappointed. Would not recommend.

    Plenty of options and quick service. We got the cheese danish and enjoyed its flavor, drip coffee was good as well. Plenty of outside seating options and cute atmosphere.

    Caramel chocolate cake on left 7/10. Banana Chocolate cake on right 1/10
    Shannon C.

    It's an okay bakery. Everything is really cute looking but not everything tastes that great. One of my favorites though is the pineapple with coconut cream pastry. On this last visit I tried the banana and chocolate cake and the caramel cake. The banana cake was horrible and I would not recommend that to anyone at all. The caramel one was okay and probably really good for someone who loves caramel. It's a nice little treat if you're in the area. Service can be a little slow but it's not bad if you're not in a hurry.

    My husband and I were passing through Santana Row yesterday and we decided to browse Cocola Bakery to see what pastries were offered. This is a very quaint and beautiful setup. They have available seating inside as well as a large seating area outside their store Front. The variety of pastries and cakes are colorful and so elegantly shown. I believe they also offer affogato options for nice days like yesterday and hotter days during the summers. When we walked in, we were automatically welcomed by the staff/baristas and asked if we needed help or had any questions. After browsing their whole selection of pastries, I noticed the pistachio almond croissant and told my husband that it looks delicious and pistachios are a thing/trend right now. He also noticed there was only one left so he said it may be super popular. So guess what he decided on? Haha yes we bought the pistachio croissant. To my surprise, it was not overly sweet but you can taste the pistachio cream inside the almond croissant. The almond taste of the croissant was also perfect. We didn't get a chance to order a coffee with our pastry so when we come back.. we will definitely try a latte or maybe the banana hot chocolate everyone is craving about when we were there. The only thing I suggest is offering Matcha (ceremonial grade, of course) on their menu: Iced and Hot with options for Strawberry or Regular (it's great to see sugar free options for syrups as well) but I know many cafes won't have too many sugar free options except for sugar free vanilla syrups. But if they had Matcha .. I would've definitely ordered an Iced Matcha with light strawberry syrup. But we will be back for sure as this place offered a pastry that was great to eat.

    Was walking by santana row and stopped here for some Quick drinks. Nice selection but heavily overpriced on the tarts and sweets etc. it is santana row so *shrug* , drinks are normal priced though, nice seating outside and indoors as well

    Stopped by Cocola at Santana Row right at opening on a Saturday. No crowd at all, which made it a relaxing start to the day. I got a hot mocha, the flavor was average, but the portion size was generous and the price surprisingly affordable for Santana Row. Tried the mushroom croissant and was really pleased. it had a nice savory umami flavor. Also had a pistachio croissant, which was decent but tasted like it wasn't made fresh that morning. Pastries are on the pricier side and the quality is average. Service was fast and the baristas were friendly. Outdoor seating was lovely, and there's plenty of parking, but it's only free for the first two hours.

    I don't know why it's taken me so long to review this place, but three words: BURNT ALMOND CAKE…read more This family-owned bakery has been around for a long time and is considered the oldest family-run bakery in Silicon Valley. They're best known for their famous Burnt Almond Cake, though they also offer a variety of other pastries. Personally, I come here just for the cake. They sell it by the slice or cupcakes, and they also have whole cakes ready to go. If you're looking for a custom cake, though, be sure to place your order in advance. Whenever I'm in the area, I always stop by to pick up a few cakes to bring home for my family, but I can probably eat a whole cake to myself lol. Their prices are still surprisingly reasonable, which makes it even more worth the trip.

We ended up getting three burnt almond cake slices (2 vanilla 1 chocolate) and some brownies. The brownies were pretty good, balanced sweetness and chocolate flavor without being overwhelmingly sweet and I enjoyed the walnuts, but it was a very fudge like texture and I prefer my brownies to be slightly more cake-y and airy. If you like fudge brownies you'd like these. My issue was the burnt almond cake, both vanilla slices were on the dry side. The chocolate slice had a hint of chocolate otherwise tasted exactly the same. The almonds and cream were fine, I would've preferred stronger almond flavor. Was meh. Price is good at $5 for a hefty slice. If I'm in the area maybe I'd go back, otherwise it was about the same as a Safeway cake slice.

He explained that they are a small batch bakery. All the pastries, behind the glass, looked amazing and were decorated so beautifully. I decided to get one Lemon-Raspberry Meringue Tart and one Mix Berry Vanilla Creme Tart. Mr. Manaois boxed up my selections and helped me at the register. They also gave many varieties of hot beverages, sweet and savory scones and sweet and savory croissants. There are also a lot of different pastries. This would be a great place to have a small relaxing breakfast. There are several places inside to enjoy your goodies. Both desserts, that I purchased, were so delicious. My favorite was the lemon raspberry meringue tart. The tartness of the lemon-raspberry filling worked so perfectly with the delicious sweet meringue. I will definitely come here again to try other items.

Customers usually come in, grab what they need, pay, and head out, which keeps things moving smoothly. One of the best things about this bakery is the incredible variety of pastries and breads. Whether you're craving something sweet or savory, there's plenty to choose from: melon pan, loaf bread, dinner rolls, chow mein bread, spaghetti bread, sweet potato bread, crab and roe bread, tomato bread, apple pie, and so much more. Don't skip the refrigerated section either! They carry fruit sandwiches, tuna sandwiches, fried bread, donuts, somen noodles in a cup, and other delicious grab-and-go items. They also offer rice balls and drinks that can be ordered at the register. If you're in the area, definitely stop by and give them a try. Small businesses like this deserve our support!

    Clover Bakery & Cafe is a small Japanese-style bakery and café that feels like the kind of…read moreneighborhood spot you randomly discover and keep coming back to. We walked into a cozy, compact space with shelves filled with freshly baked breads, pastries, and prepared foods, all arranged in a way that makes you want to browse slowly even though the shop is small. The atmosphere has that simple, welcoming feel reminiscent of the small bakeries you find throughout Japan, focusing more on quality and variety than on a large café setup. Seating is limited, so it is better suited for grabbing something to go rather than spending a long time inside. The biggest draw here is the combination of Japanese baked goods and savory items. The bakery selection offers a great mix of sweet and savory options, with classics like melon pan standing out for its crisp sugary topping and soft interior that stays light without being dry. The curry bread and croquette bread are also popular choices, both feeling comforting and freshly made rather than overly sweet or greasy. The bakery items are reasonably priced, which makes it easy to pick up multiple things without feeling like you are spending too much, and the variety means there is always something new to try. The onigiri selection is what really makes Clover stand out compared to a typical bakery. They offer a variety of rice balls with fillings like spicy tuna, tuna mayo, and unagi, making it a great option for a quick breakfast or light meal. The rice is well balanced and the fillings give each onigiri a different personality. The spicy tuna has a nice kick that comes through without overpowering the rice, while the unagi adds a sweeter, more savory flavor that works especially well with the slightly salty rice. The onigiri are a practical, satisfying choice for anyone looking for something more substantial than a pastry. Beyond the baked goods and onigiri, Clover also has drinks, sandwiches, and desserts including cakes and other pastries. The strawberry cake is a nice lighter dessert option, and the overall menu gives plenty of reasons to visit whether you are looking for breakfast, a snack, or something to bring home. The offerings feel thoughtfully selected, with enough variety to cover different cravings without making the menu feel scattered. Service is friendly and efficient, and the small size of the shop adds to the charm. Since it has become a popular local spot, some items can sell out during busy hours, so arriving earlier gives you the best selection. Parking can also be a little challenging during peak times, but the quick grab-and-go style makes the visit easy to manage. Clover Bakery & Cafe is a great stop for anyone who enjoys Japanese bakeries. The combination of fresh breads, affordable prices, and unique savory options like onigiri makes it feel different from a standard bakery. It is the type of place where it is worth picking up a few items and trying a mix of everything, leaving you with the sense that you have found a little neighborhood gem that delivers on both quality and variety.

Husband called them around 11am and they said they were in the middle of making their strawberry cakes so they could add our order in for a same day pickup at 4pm. Pickup went well and the cake was so cute and it tasted great! Like the Chinese bakery strawberry cream cake with a moist sponge cake; not too sweet, just right. Might sound basic but it was done very well. Would 100% recommend. I don't know prices for cakes nowadays but I didn't feel bad paying about $60 for a cute and tasty cake (6", strawberry cream cake). I wouldn't bank on same day pickups, I might've just been very lucky they were in the middle of making their cakes but it wouldn't hurt to try calling early in the day if you're in a pinch for a solid cake.

Izumi seemed perfect given the fact that there are a good variation of sizes that could be bought. Not everyone is a matcha lover and our family tends to gravitate away from cakes, we appreciated the smaller options. The Kyoto Matcha was purchased. The design was simply but had a slightly fancy feel to it- exactly what we were hoping for! There was strong scent of matcha coming from the top drip design and we couldn't be more excited for our matcha bae. Fast Forward: The cake is super soft, fluffy, and oh so very light. The cake in itself was not super sweet- very typical of Asian cakes. The matcha flavor was unfortunately too mellow for us. 3 stars for the cake in itself but the rating is bumped up to a 4 because the presentation is so cute! Matcha wasn't what we were looking for but we may be inclined to try other flavors in the future.
