    Came in on Wednesday around 5PM and was helped right away. We sampled several of their unique flavors like Rosewater and Turkish Coffee but ended up getting a scoop of Hazelnut Chocolate and Pistachio. The ice cream is definitely a bit different from what I'm used to as it is Mediterranean style. It's very stretchy and it melts in your mouth but I don't think I'm used to the texture. It also didn't give me the "wow, this is super good" type of reaction. As for the flavor, the Hazelnut Chocolate was flavorful, delicious, and strong but the Pistachio was the opposite. The ice cream itself was very mild and I think adding pistachio was actually the only thing that made it "pistachio". Other than that, the staffs were nice and I think it was still worth a try. They also have clean tables and a lot of parking spaces.

    It's so good! A must try. I've never had ice cream this smooth and creamy and fruit forward. The pineapple is to die for. And the scoops are huge! Nice staff. Outside seating. All around great place.

    The summers here are hot and humid, and ice cream is always welcome during these times. We had the hazelnut chocolate flavor and pistachio, and it was not bad, but it wasn't as creamy and thick as I had hoped it would be, and the pistachios did not taste very fresh nor did it have that strong of a pistachio flavor. The hazelnut flavor is strong and decent though, I actually enjoyed that flavor more. There's seating indoors and outdoors, and you can try samples before finalizing your flavor, there are some more interesting flavors such as Turkish coffee and some other fruity flavors.

    I got cookies and cream, pomegranate with chocolate chips and vanilla in a medium cup for 8$. I enjoyed sampling different flavors before making my order and there's plenty of clean seating. It's quiet inside and the staff is attentive and quick. Would come back! The texture of the ice cream is amazing and stretchy. Very filling as well.

    Great ice cream and unique flavors! I'm not a huge fan of the stretchy texture ice cream but the rose water flavor was pretty good! I chose the lemon mint and vanilla cone for myself. It was amazing. Super strong flavor, very tart, but the vanilla balanced it well. The cone tasted fresh. There were two men helping our group tonight and they were very nice and helped us with samples. Would definitely come again!

    Super unique turkish ice cream/gelato spot! I never knew a place like this existed until a friend pointed it out. We got a medium ($8 and can get up to 3 flavors) and got the Hazelnut Chocolate, Pistachio, and Rosewater. I personally really liked the Rosewater - it's got a refreshing, sweet floral taste to it. The Pistachio doesn't have the typical almond-like flavor, but rather something closer to real pistachios. I honestly think the flavor got lost in the two stronger flavors that we had in our cup, but the employees said that Pistachio was their most popular flavor... There's a sign that says no samples, but we asked prior to seeing the sign and they were willing! I feel like $8 for a medium is very fair pricing, and the stretchiness of it makes for a fun consumption experience! I would definitely come back to try some of their other unique flavors

    Stopped in during the evening after dinner. It's your typical creamery with a few outside and inside tables. Ice cream was flavorful and texture was perfect! Customer service was good.

    They have gelato, Mediterranean ice cream (stretchy) and slushees! They have a good variety of fruity and chocolate flavors, including other unique ones like rose water. I enjoyed the cookies and cream Mediterranean ice cream (one of the few with a mix in solid). They offer two samples so you can make sure you like the flavor you pick! My boyfriend liked the butter pecan gelato best the Mediterranean ice cream is soft and delicious! A unique dessert for ice cream lovers.

    Came to Booza with a friend to try traditional Palestinian ice cream! They have different types of frozen delicacies like gelato and sherbets but the booza is on the far left. I tried the Turkish Coffee flavor, pistachio, and sweet cream. I opted for a small cup of the sweet cream and Turkish Coffee--delicious! If I'm in the area I will definitely return

    lemon and rose flavors were both good the rose was the best. the lemon flavor had a harder more thick/solid consistency than the rose one. the pistachio flavor was also tasty.

    Turkish coffee & Pistachio w Ashta in waffle cone!

    I visited Booza after seeing a post abt them online. I was fascinated by the history and curious to try this type of ice cream! The shop has a clean modern aesthetic and has great seating area. They had an array of gelatos and ice creams, staff were very kind and friendly. I tried a few different flavors and decided on Turkish Coffee and Pistachio w Ashta. The ice cream was unique and different than any I had before, it's creamy & not too sweet. I also loved the flavor of pomegranate chocolate gelato I will be having that on my next visit! A cultural experience I recommend :)

    Pints for purchase
    Lili S.

    Booza is tricky to rate because one flavor was excellent and the other was subpar. The big draw to Booza is their Palestinian stretch style ice cream. Personally, I was not impressed since the stretch didn't look appetizing and the ice cream just hung off my spoon. Perhaps the consistency affects the flavor? The pomegranate chocolate chip sorbet was delicious, however. It melted quickly and was light and refreshing. Booza has pints available for purchase in a freezer and you can place online or phone orders for pints to be shipped. You are limited to two samples per customer. Their trash can was very cute. Overall, I won't be returning and am sad to report it was just a so so experience.

That alone made the experience feel thoughtful and welcoming. They are also open late, which I loved. I had already dined in the area, so this ended up being the perfect post dinner treat. I have been here before, but it had been a long time, and it was great to return and enjoy it again. The ambience was warm and inviting, and the overall environment made it easy to relax and enjoy the moment. I ordered a kid's cup, and it was honestly the perfect amount. Anything larger would have been too much for me, so the price point felt very fair for the portion and quality. I also tried the macaron and the tea. Both were fine but nothing standout for me. I have had better macarons and better tea elsewhere, and as someone who really appreciates good tea, it was decent but not something I would go back for specifically. That said, the gelato alone is absolutely worth returning for and even making a drive for. The space itself is very small and cozy, more of a boutique style spot. It is ideal for individuals, couples, or very small groups. Larger groups may prefer to enjoy their treats outdoors around the plaza and then move along, as this is more of a grab and go or short stay kind of place. Overall, I would definitely be back. The gelato is truly the star here and well worth it.

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.

This was my first time coming here so my girlfriend and I ordered a fee items to get the full experience. We both ordered a beverage, i ordered a Vanilla Chai and she had the Caramel Cococcino. Both were very good. As for food, we ordered a Chicken Breakfast Sandwich(pictured), Cinnamon Roll Crepe (Pictured), Dulce De Leche Crepe with Almonds and Strawberries (pictured), and a strawberry cheesecake crepe (not pictured but looked like a normal crepe with powdered sugar). My favorites were the strawberry cheesecake and the cinnamon roll. My girlfriend's favorite was the Dulce De Leche and the strawberry cheesecake. Neither one of us cared for the breakfast sandwich too much, not sure if it was the wheat bread or the flavorless chicken. A couple of days ago we came back to try a couple of white mocha's and the breakfast sandwich again but with the Moroccan Sausage. We have determined-the breakfast sandwich will not be ordered anymore. But again the drinks were good. Overall, we will be back. The staff is nice, the drinks are good and so are the Crepes.
