Minus two stars for not allowing a tiny sample of their gelatos. How do we know we will like it? So we buy it because we *think* we like the flavor but once we hate it, I wonder if we can change it? I bet if more people asked to change it they will finally allow us to sample. The pastries are not too bad. Got a croissant and didn't hate it. The workers are very friendly tho, some are generous with the scoop, but a few times they were not. I guess it's a hit or miss. Get two scoops instead of two single scoops and ask them to separate it. More for your buck. read more

Located inside Pechanga Casino in the Food Court with lots of seating. Caffé Cocoa offers an impressive variety of treats including gelato, smoothies, acai bowls, and gourmet desserts. I consistently enjoy their hot matcha latte paired with a warm cheese danish...it's a satisfying and reliable choice every time. The service is excellent; the staff members are consistently friendly and helpful. It remains my favorite spot for a quick caffeine treat whenever I visit the casino. read more

Caffe Cocoa is located at the Pechanga Food Court. They are open 24 hrs a day and serve coffee, tea, blended drinks, sandwiches, gelato, açai bowls, and other various sweet treats - ALL VERY YUMMY!! This place always has long lines but goes pretty fast. Service is 99% awesome. Everyone seems to have a sweet tooth when going to Pechanga... that, or they need caffeine to stay up while playing on the adult arcade machines! We've tried almost everything here. Gelato is soooo good, I really like the strawberry gelato!! Açai bowls are bomb!! French macarons are delectable (expensive af though)!! Red velvet cupcake is delish and big enough to share. The real winners here aside from the gelato, are the Thai tea and Matcha smoothie. The Thai tea has that robust flavor and not overly sweet. The Matcha smoothie is bold and has a delicious matcha taste and is also not sweetened excessively. Overall, a really great place to grab a variety of quality sweet treats, coffee and smoothies 24/7 while at the Pechanga Resort!! Check it out when you're in the area!! read more

Call it a Crap-ffe! Either this place doesn't know what flavor is, or I'm dead and can't taste anything. Having just dined where I was tasting some stuff, I knew I wasn't dead... Frozen Water... that's how I would describe their coffee gelato. I was with a work group and we wanted something sweet after dinner, so we went to the food court at the Pechanga Casino only to be disappointed with what we got. I don't know how they did it, but they managed to serve coffee beans with the gelato that had absolutely zero coffee flavor. I love crunching down on a nice roasty-toasty bean, but eating one of theirs was like a chewy flavorless garbage bean. Did they soak these in milk for like 3 years or something? Did David Blaine stay here and magically remove flavors? Someone else ordered the chocolate gelato and had the same experience. Garbage, crappy gelato. I don't even thing it was gelato... Ice Milk would make more sense. I've had better ice cream out of those cheap ass little cups in elementary school. Maybe the ice cream truck on the way to the old folks home broke down here. They did have these little chocolates too, and I got the cherry one and it had zero cherry flavor. Pathetic, but pretty is the best way to describe this tiny abomination of candy! I'd skip this place for anything sweet while you're at Pechanga... What a terrible experience... yuck! read more

Decided to give this place a try after the other one was a huge fail. So glad I did the vanilla freeze was delicious not too sweet and had a great taste to it . The cheese danish was also good. Staff were also very nice. read more

Caffe Cocoa is a cool spot for coffee and other desserts at the food court at Pechanga. The drink selection for coffees, teas, smoothies etc are pretty extensive. The coffee here is actually quite good. I liked the Hot Mocha and have tried the Taro Latte, which is one I recommend. Service here can vary as the it's the one spot for coffee, drinks and desserts. Sometimes the lines can get long. They also offer milk substitutes. Overall, if you're looking for dessert and drinks this is the place for it at Pechanga. FYI, the price range is up there since you're in the casino. read more

I RARELY give 3 stars BUT, it just had to be done. My PARTY people which consisted of my HUBBY aka BIRTHDAY BOY & MONSTER oh pardon my MOTHER IN LAW was trying to order a DOUBLE SCOOP of GELATO but, separated into 2 cups AND they could not do that because it would be considered 2 single scoops! FYI a SINGLE SCOOP of GELATO at the CASINO PRICE of course is $7 and a double scoop is $9.50.................................................................................. So we said NEVERMIND... The lady helping got so frustrated that she threw the cups onto the ground! EXCUSE ME but, why would someone get mad at a request that they could not fulfill? Shouldn't the customer be mad? Instead we just said NO THANKS... BUT WAIT! My PARTY PEEPS were so determined to get the DOUBLE SCOOPS of gelato separated so they tried ordering again at the CASHIER so... The SOLUTION: They gave us an empty cup and a double scoop of gelato so that we can separate it ourselves! Bravo!! GENIUS::rolls eyeballs:: The spoon by the WAY was WAY too DEEP! SERVICE: Miserable and moody! The COFFEE: better at Starbucks! As the JOKER would say: Caffe Cocoa WHY SO SERIOUS????????????????????????????????? The DARK KNIGHT music plays in the background read more

Inside the Pechanga resort & casino. Once you enter front the main entrance by valet take a right. The food court will be there. Plenty of tables clustered together. Great for large groups. Welcoming staff and great service. Gelato, truffles, cookies, cakes, croissants, muffins, bagels, cinnamon rolls, scones, danishes, Acai bowls, coffee, smoothies and more! So many tempting delights it was hard to choose. Thank you friend! Enjoyed a peanut butter cookie and iced americano. read more

The worst iced coffee I could ever order $7.50. Regrets. Tasted like coffee grounds and water. I also got a double scoop of gelato $9.50 - banana and pistachio. Banana was bad, tasted very artificial. Would not recommend. Pistachio was a little better but also not that great. read more

Sweet tooth is in full force--no wonder I'm diabetic! Anyhow, the name of this place needs to be corrected to Caffe Cocoa. As you can see from the signage there are two "Fs" not one. Hope Yelp corrects it. Their desserts and coffee here are top notch. Everything is presented in a delectable way that it's hard to make a choice. I kept vacillating between the Tiramisu and the Pistachio eclair. I'm so predictable and a creature of habit I chose Tiramisu again. Hubby got the Brownie Ganache. Our desserts hit the spot! This is our go to for our sweet tooth! Service was warm, friendly, and quick! This place and the entire food court are kept in good order and very clean. There are many tables available since it wasn't crowded. Lighting is a bit subdued and it's rather quiet save for the sounds of the slot machines nearby. read more

We felt like having a late night sweet, so I was gonna get a cookie, until I saw the caramel apples - and what sold me was that they slice it up for you if you'd like. So we got an apple with chocolate, caramel and peanuts - which was a great choice! The apple was delish! It was so good, I'm taking one home with me to share with my kids! Before we left the casino, I picked up a banana, mango, peach smoothie which was so good! It's a blend of juices, plus fresh banana and ice. (I'm pretty sure it's non-dairy - I had asked the lady but she wasn't 100 percent sure). They also have other sweets - truffle chocolate (which is kinda spendy), gelato, and baked goods. I haven't had a chance to try these - it's usually so freezing cold in the casino, so gelato doesn't appeal to me at the time, and the baked goods look a little dry. So I was happy with my choice of the chocolate caramel apple!! read more

My husband needed a jolt of energy for a long day at the casino, followed by a birthday party. A shot of espresso was the answer. This is the perfect spot to grab that or any other drink for energy. He enjoyed his espresso shot. I love Gelato and just had to try some. The lemon cake flavor was out of this world. I'd definitely check this place out again next time I am at the casino. read more

I stayed at Pechanga this past week and was in a mood for desserts! I was walking around and spotted the Cafe Cocoa. I ordered the Mango tart and Pistachio Eclair. Both were good and fresh. I like the mango tart very much, it was delicious. The Pistachio Eclair colors were vibrant colors. It looked cool. I almost didn't want to to eat it lol. The desserts were around $7 each which is not bad. I ended up using my Easy Dine credits from Pechanga and didn't have to pay a penny. Great perk to have. The cashier and staff was very friendly and talkative. I definitely recommend giving this place a shot read more

If you're coming here because you can't find a Starbucks, I suggest you look elsewhere. They don't have much of a selection to choose from and what you may want, they may not have. I tried the Thai Tea and Double Scoop Gelato, the Mocha Freeze and Vanilla Bean flavor. I got the Thai Tea because they did not have Milk Tea. According to the employee, they do not even make Milk Tea. They just have it on their menu just to have it. They also do not have Matcha Milk Tea or Taro Milk Tea. They just have Hot Black Tea and Thai Tea. The Thai Tea tasted warm, and it had a coffee taste. It tasted like Thai Tea Coffee. I threw it out after drinking 1/3 because I was genuinely disappointed. The boba however, it was perfectly warm and chewy. The Double Scoop Gelato was a decent size, but it was pretty good. I'm unsure what the texture of gelato should be, but it was very sticky. There were a few ice cube shards, but they actually complimented the gelato. There's nothing much to say about the Vanilla Bean and Mocha Freeze flavors, they taste like any regular Vanilla and Coffee ice cream. The staff are very understanding and very kind when I tried ordering a bunch of drinks that were not available. They were able to explain how they don't make some drinks and how they have some things on the menu just because. read more

I'm a Starbucks fan for sure but this place is pretty legit without a drive thru. Their mixed coffee frappes with whipped cream give any Starbucks a run for their money... Their pastries are good too! I like their blueberry muffin, it's much better warmed up, so be sure to ask for it! Their staff work diligently and are super friendly. Don't forget to tip! When I win, they win too. karma I'll be back soon for my caffeine pick me up when I start my blackjack or poker grind. Good luck everyone! read more

I've had four flavors of Gelato over two visits and three of them were fantastic; Peach, Pineapple and Pistachio. The Tastumi missed it for me but for many it would also be very good. Two scoops for six bucks in reasonable. They are located in the Food Court and there is a lot of table space there. I'm no gambler and just found this place while walking around getting entertained watching people losing. read more

My husband and I visited the food court on Sunday 9/2/2023, at about 10:45am. I just wanted to commend on the 2 ladies who were working there at that time, especially the one at the register. There were about 3 or 4 people in line before us. Although we were starving and couldn't wait to order, I noticed how patient the lady was with each customer, answering questions, putting in the orders quickly, getting the transactions done as swiftly as possible, with energy and enthusiasm, smiling and welcoming. The lady who worked behind prepping the food moved around efficiently too, quickly picked up and warmed my husband's croissant to perfection, ready as soon as our transaction was done. I commend them in particular because they are NOT young twenty-something year-olds you'd see at places like In & Out. They both look like they're in their 50's and beyond. Respect for their professionalism! read more

I got the last available fruit tart of the day with the last of this week's dining credit. It was very good looking through the case, but average upon consumption. The fruit was not ripe, but the custard and crust were pretty good. The bf tried their gelato, which he enjoyed. The flavors were a bit too sweet for me, and too creamy. He was given generous portions. The service was friendly and fast. Definitely one of the better options in this food court. read more

Chocolate truffles? Brownies? Marshmallow squares? Gelato? Sugar-free chocolate mousse? Danishes? Cakes? Eclairs? Muffins? You have a sweet tooth? Yes, this place is for you. I got the sugar-free chocolate mousse the first time and 2 scoops of gelato in a waffle cone the second time. The chocolate mousse was creamy and somewhat rich considering it's free of sugar. The rocky road and ultra chocolate gelato provided a cool treat for the hot weather that I'm not used to. Right when I decided to get 2 scoops instead of 1, my guy rolled his eyes partially whilst shaking his head because I ordered more than I should have but you know what? I know you love me no matter how messy of an eater I am and no matter how much of a pig I really am. I love you, Kevin T. read more

I used to grab the snicker doodle cookies from the coffee carts that were all around the casino floor. One day, they were out of those cookies, but the barista was nice enough to tell me to walk over here, since they bake them here and deliver them to the carts. Surprise! Surprise! They had my delicious cookies and much more. In addition to the snicker doodle cookies, which tastes like sugar cookies with cinnamon, they have chocolate chip, peanut butter, and oatmeal cookies. They have all kinds of cakes, from read velvet to cheesecake. They also have gelatos in many different flavors, from pistachio and peach to french vanilla and strawberry. In addition to all that, they also have various hot teas, coffee, hot chocolate, apple ciders, and Boba teas. read more

Is Caffe Cocoa overpriced (like the rest of the food court and restaurant offerings in Pechanga)? You bet it is! But, if your sweet tooth is acting up, then this is the place for you. Every time I've gone to Pechanga, I always keep passing the pastry and ice cream counter, relying on my willpower to get me through. However, when I went to meet up with my girlfriend yesterday, and I saw her sipping on an iced green tea with lychee jelly, my willpower went out the window. Kat and I split one of the scones, and I ordered an iced green tea with lychee jelly for myself. While the scone would've tasted better with a hot beverage, the iced tea was quite delicious (not used to seeing the lychee gel in strips as opposed to the cubes I've had in the past, but it was still good). The pastries range from $2.95-4.95, and the drinks are roughly in the same price range. As I mentioned, Caffe Cocoa is a tad on the expensive side, but at least it's worth it. There's lots of stuff here that I want to try - especially the eclairs and ice cream - so it appears that my willpower may have to be suppressed a little longer next time I'm at Pechanga. read more

The line are usually pretty long but it goes kind of quick but sometimes people are paying with some type of reward points. read more

I came looking for a sweet drink since I was craving one late at night. My boyfriend and I got the strawberry smoothie with whipped cream and the thai tea. Definitely pass on the thai tea; it tasted as if they had put too much creamer, yet lacked the expected creaminess of that. The strawberry smoothie was actually really good though, we would get that again if we came back. Three stars because of the smoothie, the line moved fast, and the guy who took my order was nice enough. read more

I came here with my sisters after a long day at Pechanga. I'm glad the reopened this location as it was being renovated the last time we came a few months ago. We wanted dessert and did not want the same thing! I got the brownie ganache which was excellent! It was $5 but well worth it. It was large enough to share and so tasty. My sister got the red velvet cupcake. She said it was soft and delicious! The only reason why I'm taking a star off is because my sister didn't enjoy her gelato. She got mint chip and the first time she received it, it had a piece of hair. She then asked for another scoop. This one looked fine. As we walked back to the room, she found another hair. Needless to say she didn't enjoy her treat. My other sister and I, on the other hand, would recommend the other treats. read more
