As you know I am always looking for good coffee...being the "coffee queen" and all...So, went here to try one of their ice coffees. We walked in late morning during a weekday and it was not busy. They sell gelato, candy, fancy chocolates, stuffies and more. The decor is very pleasing to the eye and the service was friendly. I ordered a 16 oz. Ice "Pinkstachio Latte:" espresso, pistachio and pink hazelnut cream top iced for $7.50 and it was amazing! Very flavorful, smooth and not too sweet. My daughter got the "Strawberry Dream Matcha," which she also liked. Looking forward to going back to try the Gelato. *Very family & kid friendly *A few tables inside and out front to sit and enjoy your sweets *Street parking and a lot in the back if you can find a spot ~ and that's all I have to say about that...

Visited Cocoa + Cream for the first time on a Saturday evening with the family. This gelato, sweet shop was recommended to us by some friends and a family member. Excellent customer service at Cocoa + Cream. The sweet aroma of chocolate welcomes you as you walk into the shop. This sweet shop specializes in gelatos and chocolates. They also sell candies, gummies and coffee drinks. We bought sour gummy poppers, mocha latte, Coffee with Peruvian Chocolate gelato, Coffee with Strawberry Fudge Brownie and Vanilla Bean with Ube Mochi gelato. Enjoyed the mocha latte as you can taste the espresso without the mocha flavor overpowering the taste of coffee. Delicious flavored gelato as they were smooth, silky and not too sweet. Loved all the gelato flavors. I enjoyed the Ube Mochi gelato however it's not real ube halaya. It didn't taste like real ube halaya. Can't wait to come back and try other gelato flavors and other coffee specialty drinks they have on the menu.

Super cute spot! Got the banana matcha and it was decisions, can't wait to go back and try new lattes and the gelato :). Staff were very friendly and sweet.

The perfect desert shop does exist! Cocoa + Cream has the best ice cream, the best cinnamon rolls, coffee/matcha and on top of it they also sell candy, cookies, chocolate + so many cute and unique plushies/home items. The store is so cute and the workers are so friendly.

Cocoa + Cream Cafe in Toluca Lake is a gem--pastel-themed with a clean aesthetic that gives off a sweet See's Candy type of vibe. From gelato to matcha and coffee, the selections are solid and the whole spot feels fresh, cute, and well put together. I ordered the Blueberry Earl Grey Matcha with oat milk, and the look alone was serving. Freshly prepped, smooth, and full of flavor. Service was quick and everything came out on point. Fire matcha spot--highly recommend for all my matcha lovers.

Found this place on TikTok and saw that they also sell Bakerie Marie cookies (which are really good). Was greeted by friendly faces and grabbed our ice cream to sit out to eat. The people were really nice and gave me a free bday gift of chocolates! Overall it was nice.

The drinks looked cute according to Yelp so I knew it was a must try lol! Honestly don't think I've been to Toluca Lake, ever but what a cute little strip! Small shops around and easily found street metered parking on a weekend, especially with the farmers market that was happening right next door. This place is like Tifa's Gelato but if they went full on Easter/Spring themed lol. The pastel colors make this place really stand out and you can notice them outside since they also have the same colored umbrellas/tables. The place was busy for sure and EVERYONE knew each other! It's like I walked into a small town where all the residents and workers just vibed. It was nice to see and the workers were extremely friendly. I ordered an iced salted maple vanilla latte and despite how busy it was, the drink came out pretty quickly! Delicious and strong, just the way I like it. I didn't notice till after I ordered that they had a pistachio latte so now I have to come back lol! IG: @ammysalamii

Life can be a dream... If you walk into the paradise of Cocoa and Cream... Explore chocolate luxuries like you've never seen... Life can be a dream, in Toluca Lake! Gelato is so tasty... Matcha Oreo and Peruvian Chocolate will never go to waste-y... Greek Yogurt and Mulberry are my flavors of the day-stee... Life can be a dream in Toluca Lake! Walk across the street.... From Trader Joe's, and you'll be light upon your feet... Get yourself a treat.... At Toluca's Cocoa and Cream! Forman's is next door.... Have dinner and drinks and then... Walk over for some more... I guarantee it, that your tastebuds simply soar... At Cocoa and Cream, on Riverside!

It's awesome that they have vegan flavors, and the vegan flavors are quite good. I just wish they had at least one vegan cone option. Ice cream in a cup just isn't the same. The cost of the ice cream is quite high, but I love that even if you get a tiny size, they still let you mix more than one flavor. A lot of places won't do that unless you get a bigger size. The employees are here are super nice and welcoming. The aesthetic inside is super cute too.

What a dreamy spot! Gelato, coffee, matcha, gifts, and goodies all in one place. Great place to grab a gift for someone special or yourself. Like a variety of chocolates, glassware, toys, books, candles, etc But the main stop is for some yummy gelato and/or coffee and matcha. The display case had an abundance of gelato flavors like ube mochi and Peruvian chocolate. They all looked very tasty. Their latte and matcha menu is also extensive and pretty creative. I really couldn't decide on which drink to order. I ended up getting the strawberry dream matcha and it wasn't too sweet. It tastes like a solid matcha drink. Can't wait to try others!

Black Sesame Matcha & Cookies&Cream Gelato
Mitzie A.

Finally got a chance to stop in to Cocoa + Cream. It's such a fun and inviting space. The service was super friendly. Nick was patient with my son who wanted to sample the gelato flavors. We ordered a cookies and cream gelato and a Black Sesame Matcha. My son loved his gelato. The Black Sesame Latte was flavorful. Nice strong nutty black sesame flavor, and the matcha was potent enough to still make an appearance. If you like Black Sesame you would like the drink. First time trying black sesame with matcha , and I probably won't reorde. The matcha flavor was great, and next time I'll try a more traditional flavor.

Visited: 2/26/26 Super cute spot! I really love how bright and inviting the space is without the lighting feeling too harsh or overstimulating. The ambience was great for staying alert while still feeling relaxed. The color scheme and overall aesthetic make it a very aesthetically pleasing place to spend time whether you're hanging out or working. They offer a great variety of options, from coffee to matcha, gelato, and specialty drinks. You can order the drinks hot or iced, and choose between two sizes: 12 oz or 16 oz. They also offer small, free gelato samples, which was a really nice touch. There are four gelato sizes available, and I ordered the smallest size (petite). Gelato: -Mango Sorbetto: 9/10 ($7.25) -Ube Mochi: 10/10 ($7.25) I was absolutely obsessed with the ube mochi! The flavor was rich and the texture was amazing. Their mango sorbetto was nicely tangy, with a strong, authentic mango flavor that came through really well. Their gelato is very flavorful in general, and I definitely want to come back just to try more flavors. Drinks - Iced, 16 ounce: (All 7/10) -Cocoa Blue Matcha ($7.50) -Strawberry Dream Matcha ($7.75) -Banana Dream Matcha ($7.75) The matcha wasn't bad at all, just pretty standard compared to what I've had at a lot of other cafes. I personally wish the matcha flavor was stronger and a little less milky so the matcha taste could shine more. That said, the drinks were super cute visually. I really liked the foam topping, and the spirulina blue in the cocoa blue matcha was a really nice aesthetic and flavor accent! They have WiFi, but you just need to ask for the password. There are about three tables inside if you want to hang out or get some work done, but there are no outlets inside, so make sure your devices are charged beforehand. There are more tables outside if you prefer sitting outdoors. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and accommodating! I was greeted very kindly when I walked in, and they even gave me a free banana dream matcha after accidentally making an extra drink instead of letting it go to waste, which I really appreciated. They also sell a bunch of cute items inside like candles, plushies, utensils, books, chocolates, and other small gifts, so it's a great place if you want to shop for yourself or pick up something cute for someone else. Parking is street parking only, so just keep that in mind. There is also no bathroom available. Overall, I would definitely come back! Great aesthetic, great service, and amazing gelato.

Cute little gelato shop that also serves coffee, matcha, and other sweets. My drink was made fairly quickly and I was surprised at how strong (and good!) it was. Unfortunately the more it sat the sweeter and more milky it became. Next time I would drink it quickly to get more of the actual coffee taste instead of chocolate milk. The gelato looked great as well and i definitely want to come back for that!

The amount of detail put on the display is impressive. Cutest shop

We visited Oakobing for dessert after dining at Hangari Kalguksu nearby just before for lunch…read more Although it was just down the street, we had to pay again for parking since we weren't allowed to leave the respective lots without paying extra. $5 parking just to grab dessert was a bit of a sting but for LA it's to be expected. The place was somewhat small but wasn't really busy for a Saturday afternoon, and we noticed they had some spacious auxiliary seating areas specifically for Oakobing across the hall. At first glance, the prices seemed sort of high for shaved ice, so we opted for sharing 2 of the smallest personal sizes ($8.5 each). It turns out that this size was plenty. I'm not sure how big the regular bowls are, but I think especially after a meal the personal size is plenty for a satisfying dessert for 2 people. I'm assuming part of the large price difference in sizes comes down to the large amount of fresh fruit that comes on their regular bowls. Still, we very much enjoyed our bowls. The ice is shaved almost impossibly thin, and rather than melting into a pool of water almost turns into a sorbet/ice cream like texture, which is very satisfying to eat. I enjoyed how their condensed milk topping was diluted to form a lighter cream that was more sauce-like than think and drizzle-like. It all lended to making the dessert enjoyably light. I would definitely drop by again, especially if we could avoid the parking costs.

I've had their gelatos before, and they have very unique flavors (unfortunately the candle smoked and salty egg yolk is not my favorite because it only tastes smoky to me, but some people really love it so I think you should try it if you have the chance). We went on a hot Saturday mid-day, and lots of other people had the same idea, so we had to wait a little bit for a table. They give you a beeper so you can come back once a table is ready. This time, we ordered the mango sticky rice shaved ice, and it was so good my husband and I were mind-blown. It's fun to eat because you get multiple components on one tray, and you can continually go between eating the mango sticky rice and the shaved ice with mango gelato, mango chunks, and coconut cream. Every part of it was so yummy and refreshing, it didn't feel too difficult to share and finish between two people. They hide mango chunks inside the middle of the shaved ice too, so it's not solely a bowl of ice when you get to the bottom. I will go back again just for the mango sticky rice shaved ice because it is so unique and delicious, but when mango season is over, they stop selling it.

I stopped by around noontime and there were people inside/outside chatting, working, taking pics in the photobooth, etc. The line went by quickly and I had my hojicha einspanner in no time!
