    We had heard good things about the hot chocolate so we decided to stop by. We had been told that hot chocolate flights were offered, but we didn't see any sign of that here. It's possible we could have missed it. We each ordered a hot chocolate, they do have several to choose from. The drinks were hot and rich. I think if you're looking for something a little different this isn't a bad choice. The chocolate treats are pricy. The "gourmet smore" was prepackaged and $5. The marshmallow was the best part of the treat, very fresh and a wonderful texture. The dark chocolate turtle was good, but not overly impressive.

    Overall, the café provided a welcoming and a well-lit vibe. The pistachio iced latte was enjoyable and had the right amount of sweetness.

    I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place. It used to be a regular spot for me when I frequented the area. Anywho, my daughter was there and asked if I wanted something. Ummmmmm yeah!!!! Duh!!!! Lol! I requested a haul but they only had two of my items left: chocolate chip cookies and banana bread. I had forgotten how good they were and now I fear I am in trouble as I am wanting more already. If you haven't checked them out, please do.

    It's been years since I was in Chicago and stopped here. I was thrilled it is still going! Good drinking chocolate is a special thing and theirs is excellent. Of course all the other drinks, food, and chocolates and chocolate bars are, as well. They had these adorable breakable chocolate dreidels with Hanukkah chocolate shapes inside them this year. So cute! Service is friendly and informative and helpful. I got some drinks to take back to others and they have carriers for that! This time, I had the Mayan Magic and it was the perfect amount of spices. Lovely space to sit and sip.

    Very cute shop. The place we were going to have breakfast was closed for a private event. I remembered I bookmarked Coco.& Co on Yelp and it was less than 2 blocks from our hotel. Hot Chocolate was wonderful and rich. Quiche was very good. Husband said his croissant was ok. He said it wasn't very chocolate. I think he was expecting a chocolate filling. I thought it was a very good start to the day.

    Cute coffee shop. We just ordered lattes and they were average. We couldn't really taste the expresso much in the lattes, they were pretty weak. The open tables were also dirty and unfortunately the staff was busy dusting the shelves instead of cleaning off the tables.

    We stopped here for hot chocolate and coffee on a chilly afternoon in Chicago. The drinks here taste well made, and you can tell that they source high quality ingredients. I ordered the pumpkin sliced latte, which had a great pumpkin purée flavor, which was not lost in the coffee. It was definitively one of the better pumpkin lattes I've had in the city. We also ordered one of the drinking chocolates, the first option, the classic one, with whipped cream on top. It was delicious and not too sweet. This was also very satisfying, especially on a cold day.

    TLDR: My. New. Favorite. Cafe. I stumbled across this little gem on my way back from lunch with a friend (gotta have dessert!) and I'm SO glad I did. With a name like "Cocoa + Co." you'd think there's gonna be a hot chocolate on the menu--but that's where you're fucking wrong bc they have SIX TYPES of "Drinking Chocolates". So go ahead and tell your mom that you're staying hydrated the next time she asks you if you're adulting. As soon as we stepped foot into Cocoa + Co. I knew there was no turning back; I was going to be stuffing my face until I was sick...and then some. We ordered the sea salt caramel chocolate brownie, the dark chocolate peanut butter bomb, chocolate macaroon, and some Halloween chocolates. Listen, I try to eat a balanced diet of fats and sugars, okay? But if I had to choose one dessert to eat for the rest of my life, then that deliciously decadent sea salt chocolate brownie would easily be one of the top 3 contenders. No. Doubt. Just try it! I dare you to tell me you've had a better brownie. As for the other desserts we ordered? Just as tasty but I'm a brownie bitch thru and thru, ya know? Needless to say, I will be back again. And again.

    The drinking chocolate is so so so good, definitely worth the hype. The 8 oz is the perfect size. I also got a 14 piece box of the bonbons. Some of the flavors were interesting and something I hadn't tried before but I preferred the less wild flavors.

    Lunar new year pastries - so unique and yummy!

    We have only tried the drinking chocolates at Cocoa + Co, and they were delicious. Our favorite was the Mayan Magic with almond milk.

Decent amount of seating, serving as a solid space to study or get work done. Black Sesame Matcha Latte - while the black sesame graininess settled at the bottom expectedly, the matcha was clearly whisked well. There were no clumps of bitterness to be found. Despite sugar adjustments, this was still very sweet so I'd classify the spot as more desserty rather than strong matcha or a cafe. Though I'm happy to be proven wrong with their regular matcha in the future.

I wish I was able to travel with one of their cheesecakes but they require refrigeration. Anyhow the cheesecake itself was delicious super light, fluffy, and honestly felt like biting into a cloud. I had the salted egg but they had several flavor options that I would've loved to try if slices were available. The texture is what really stands out, and the flavor was unique and interesting in a good way. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it taste like, but it was sweet, but not too sweet They only sale but I consider a personal size but it's definitely enough to share with two people, maybe even three depending on how much of a sweet tooth you have. My only downside like others is the price. Paying around $19-$20 for a small cheesecake felt a bit steep, especially since they don't offer slices. I really wish they had smaller portions available so you could try different flavors without committing to a full cake prize. They package it very well and they also serve you a cute little fork set and a knife for cutting which I think is contributes to the price. The shop itself is very cute with chic décor and a lot of Asian-inspired artwork, which adds to the overall vibe. Customer service was friendly. When I visit Chicago again I'd definitely go back the texture and taste alone make it worth it but I do hope they consider offering smaller portions in the future.
