    Come here all the time when I'm in the area. Can register with clover for points! I love the range of flavors for creamy versus fresh paletas. The toppings are a great bonus too! Can mix and match depending on the flavor profile you're wanting! I love it here.

    Paleta was amazing. Huge huge variety. I got the gansito with almonds half dipped in chocolate. My husband got the abuelita one. They let you try their paletas. I want to try their fruit ones. They offer a free agua Frescas if you tag them and the lady was a bit rude when we got ours. They weren't that friendly or inviting. Just there to do a job. The interior was beautiful and nice. There's outdoor seating.

    Love this place! So many options and different combinations to get, it was hard to decide. Love that you can try samples! They also have some snacks and fresh made agua fresca, which I sampled and it was very good. The people who work there are really friendly and helpful. Everything I tried or got was delicious. I will be back when I'm in town, glad my mom lives so close!

    The ice cream bars were delicious. And there was a nice assortment of toppings. I really enjoy the white chocolate drizzle. Seating is limited, thus only four stars instead of five.

    This paleta bar was amazing. The service the lady gave us was exceptional, she explained all the flavors, options, and menu. She gave my 3 yo a tasting and for my one year old we ordered fruit with a fruit paleta and it was just right.

    This is the best spot to refresh and cool off in this crazy triple digit heat! Exceptionally clean, beautiful work and tasty delicious treats! On the expensive side, but you get the full experience! Not too many places to sit, but if you come early you have the place to yourself!

    The place to go if you want something refreshing fruitwise, traditional sweet of vanilla/chocolate assortments, fruit bowl, or savory snacks. I think its nice you get to try samples of the Paleta Bars. 2 paleta bars for $12 (seems a little high to me, but with location and inflation in general everywhere) My friend enjoyed her Chamoy Paleta with fruit Mango (not spicy) I like the watermelon paleta coated with chili seasoning and drizzle with some chamoy and with fruit mango. Maybe next time easy on the chili seasoning. My friend sampled a aqua fresca Cucumber lime and she said it was good. Definitely will be back to try that next time.

    The Agua Fresca is so delicious! Service was great! Definitely try this if you are looking for a sweet treat!

    Yum!!!! This place is perfect! We got 2 cucumber lime agua frescas and two Paletas. One milk chocolate dipped in chocolate with sprinkles and one watermelon with chamoy and taijin. We loved them!

    I saw this place on the localish coverage on one of the news channels. Localish covers popular food places in the city. So I had to try it and I am so glad I did. I got the cookies and cream paleta bar covered in milk chocolate drizzled in the dark chocolate and covered with peanuts. My friend had the Reese's and chips ahoy cookie paleta bar. She thoroughly enjoyed her dessert so much we kept talking about what we had and how good it was on the ride home. Lol We plan to go back soon. The dessert was not overly sweet and the additional topics are perfect if you like to try a variety of things. The staff were friendly and let you try samples if you are indecisive. I highly suggest this place if you are visiting or you are looking for a nice dessert.

    it's cute inside but dirty as hell from all the toppings flying everywhere. They have good music too and it was super empty when we went. it's good but i mean it's just too expensive in my opinion. a single paleta costs like $7.50. don't get the cracker dust tho i almost choked on it LMAO but a solid paleta it was so creamy

    My lime pallets fell on the floor so maybe that was a sign lol. It looked delicious though! The watermelon juice was very refreshing.

    Coco's is located in Midtown downtown Houston. Consequently, Yelpers should not be surprised the…read moreparking is mostly in paid lots, just like in every major city in the US--Cocos does not deserve to lose a star for this as in some reviews that brought down their average. You may order online, in shop through a tablet, or with a person at the register. We used the register because we did not see the tablet and did not want to order ahead online. The ladies who helped us on our visit were very nice. You get a number and they call it when your made to order food is ready. We did not have to wait long. There was medium to low noisy ambiance. It was deserted when we arrived, but they have relatively loud background music. While we were eating it got pretty crowded. Mostly a lot of young people in the middle of the day on a Monday. The inside is small, seating both inside and outside are limited and close together. One lady was studying with her laptop, but there are no plugs. The breakfast sandwich is customizable. We got it on a croissant and with sausage. The eggs had a unique texture and the sandwich a unique flavor that we could not place, but both were very tasty. We also wanted a crepe, but we split the sandwich and it was sufficient. We also got a small mocha and a decaf, both were ok to good. We would definitely come back again and recommend that you give them a try for a crepe or sandwich. It is sad that a few Yelpers brought down their average to 3.8 stars due to petty and unjustified complaints such as having to pay for parking downtown. Other complaints are not the business' fault such as periodic homelessness--it is a downtown area in the US, other cities have far worse homelessness than Midtown Houston and we saw none on this visit. Additionally, complaints about takeout orders are mostly petty. Takeout is never as good as eating at the restaurant and so customers should adjust their expectations rather than dock the business stars. Nearly every recent Yelp review for this who ate at the restaurant gave 4-5 stars for food quality and customer service. Like most of the restaurants in this area it is a pretentious yuppy style place with specialized food. Although not usually our type of place (we like down to earth hole in the wall places with good food or taco truck type restaurants), Coco's is a solid 4 star restaurant for the type of place they are and they offered a 5 star experience on our visit. Again, recommend you give them a try if you are in the mood for crepes or sandwiches.

    New to the area and this was my first experience!! Food was delicious and service was great…read more Seating both inside and out but keep in mind it's a small environment. I had the smoked salmon panini and the peach lemonade both so good! I can't wait to go back and try the crepes
