Coco Cafe

Great place for sandwich lovers! I am a vegetarian and to my needs there’s a «strictly vegetarian» section on the menu. I have had their sandwiches there consecutively 3 days for lunch and all the three of them were really great. super tasty! Ofcourse everyday different ones :)
From their bread to the basic ingredients they just taste awesome. Guess the of all the best thing is their toaster that makes the bread super crispy and yummy! Well give it a try and you definitely won’t regret it. Highly recommended!

I had the Vegetarian Panini, I asked for mustard instead of Pesto. It had sundried tomatoes, bell peppers, red onions, basil, mushrooms, and was VERY delicious! If your vegan, maybe check whether or not they grill it with butter or onion, and opt for mustard instead of Pesto. But there were a lot of vegetarian and vegan options! And I definitely want to try a smoothie next time!
Oh and there’s seating and wifi just ask for the password! :)

This place has great smoothies (around $ 5). I’m one for fresh veggies & fruits and other than the pineapple, it’s all freshly cut. I ask to add water instead of juice in the smoothies — I like it better that way.
Their salads are good too — their half salad is $ 4.50 I think. I’m trying a panini next time.

This place has become my go to spot for late morning early lunch food. The California breakfast sandwich (which I order on panini bread instead of sandwich bread) has eggs, cheese, avocados, and tomatoes, and its 4.95. Lunch paninis are great (I like the caprese and the eggplant one whose name I forget and the pesto one). I grab a yogurt and a salad and that sustains me at work during the longest dumbest days.
I’m doing a review now because I was looking up their number to call in an order. They are fast. Its three people who work there, so sometimes they can be a little understaffed if someone is out. But they make everything themselves every day or on the spot, all the salads and things in the to go containers, its the same people every day, and they know you and remember people from the neighborhood. They make AWESOME smoothies, i like the one called all the things, or something similar. Its all the fruits and veggies in the house. Delicious, and way less expensive than everything else in the neighborhood.
Thanks Guys!

Great value for the money! I walked in being nervous about the choice because the signage is vaguely about paninis and I didn’t see their ship name anywhere.
Entered into the small, 5 seater café, mostly an upgraded lunch café style with Great Chalkboard Art Menu, great selections of hot grilled panini sandwiches, cold sandwiches, soups, salads, etc.
In the back there are three standing refrigerators with a king’s selection of all kinds of bottle drinks, including three or four kombucha options (which surprised me).
Baked deserts, cookies and donuts look *meh* but are halfway decent. For those in a rush, there’s a chiller with small to go salads and snacks!
They take all sort of credit cards or cash. They all have a smile on their face and are polite. I hear the coffee is good, too, and that in lattes they do the steamed milk in the shape of a heart :)
Will go again!

The sandwiches here are good value at 6.50 for a panini. The panini that I ordered was not a panini at all. It was a roll it seemed like they just toasted before putting on my turkey and avocado.
But if you don’t want to wait in a line at aromas it’s a good option.

Today was my second visit to the café. First time no complaints. I give 3 stars. I ordered a fruit&veggie smoothie that tasted great. Second visit I just wanted a bagel and cream cheese. Red Flag #1 the cashier and bagel maker is the same person. Red Flag#2 the bagel maker doesnt have on gloves or use tongs when getting bagel out the cabinet. Red Flag#3 I see the bagel maker rub her nose visiously and then go to grab my bagel. I nicely told her that I couldnt eat the bagel and walked out. Didnt feel like eating a snot bagel. This visit I give 1 star. Total 2 stars for todays gross experience.

This is one of the best lunch values downtown. Sandwiches always good, and the falafal is very good.

Great place! I ordered a chicken panini every time I made a visit. Honestly, one of the best paninis I’ve ever tasted! For less than 6 dollars, I get this impeccably made piece of heaven that won’t make me feel sluggish after devouring it.
You’ll get the last star when I try your latte! Their latte art is amazing! A lot of their repeating customers showed me pictures on their phones and it’s not the typical designs that you expect.
The owner is one of the most friendliest and humble people I’ve met. The overall customer service is just great.

Drinking the Best Chai Tea Latte that I have ever had! Yummy. Such a friendly Barista — clean place. well organized. Good prices… and did I say. the BEST CHAI TEA LATTE ever! :)

–great service, good stuff
–parking sucks here…

$ 4 smoothie two flavor combination (mango and banana). You be the judge on that. IMO, its too much. Too much for a medium size to go smoothie!

Ratatouille Panini Sandwich, I cannot stop thinking about it!
Just a perfect size sandwich, well balanced, YUM!
I’ll be back, definitely :)

It was a hot fall afternoon. Too hot. I wanted a smoothie and as I was strolling down Franklin St., Coco happened to have a sign out front saying they have smoothies! YES! Just what I wanted, but I ordered an orange, mango, pineapple smoothie and it was insanely icy and the taste was very Eek! Me thinks not.
I think next time I’ll stick to the traditional Jamba Juice for a smoothie…

I’ve been here twice now, and both times I’ve ordered paninis.
Both times they’ve been under-panini’d.
Today was worse than last week, the turkey on my gobbler was actually still refrigerator-​cold, though the outside of the sandwich was nice and crispy toasty.
Last week I got the Ratatouille panini, and the cheese on it wasn’t melted either.
So I guess, the sandwiches are definitely tasty, just not warmed all the way through. prepare to microwave when you get back to the office if you want it 100% warm and melty.
Definitely easy on the budget, big sandwiches, and for me– really close to work.

I am in love with their eggplant sandwich… love it that they have a vegetarian menu… not that I’m a strict vegetarian… just a life style change…

This place is cool. We go here for work all the time. A lot of the guys get the Gobbler cause it sounds funny. I’ve never really had a problem with this place and it always serves it’s purpose. Nothing spectacular, but a good place for a quick lunch.

Coco Café is located in the space that used to be Take 5. The lunch menu focuses on salads, sandwiches (including panini) and wraps. I like that there’s a section of the sandwich menu labeled «strictly vegetarian» (by which they do not mean «vegan», FYI, just «no meat»), and that it has more than one option. Service was quick and friendly, prices are in line with the other lunch places in the area, and it’s very conveniently located. I’m definitely planning to check out more of the items on their menu.
