I was pretty impressed. I was getting a little discouraged because the longer I had to wait for my dessert fix, the longer I kept staring at the sample they had next to the cashier that when the dessert actually came, the first thing I said was "ugh, the large is pretty small" although my mind was focused on how delicious it looked. This was my boyfriend and I's first time here and we opted for the green tea bingsoo plus one order of the croissant fish thingy- nut filled (I actually disliked red bean strongly until today, during my visit here)! I guess you could consider this place somewhat life changing? To start off, the green tea bingsoo really looked delicious, as well as very aesthetically pleasing. After snapping some photos, I dug in and upon my first bite- WOW the shaved ice was super creamy, yet fluffy, but still had so much flavor to it. I've tried many shaved ice places but this one definitely takes the crown for being the best. Don't underestimate the size of the large. We were somewhat struggling to finish the large (and we barely ate anything all day). The traditional fish snack (with a modern twist, since it's in croissant form) is not what I expected. It was not as flaky as a croissant but was more like the Korean pastry that is about a foot long and twists gradually and somewhat flaky. Delicious, nevertheless. It is freshly made so you have to wait about 15 minutes for it to be made for you. Will definitely be coming back in the very near future to try the other bingsoos + various flavors of the fish pastry! Green Tea Bingsoo Large (~$10.00), Nut Filled Taikyaki ($3.50) read more

Pretty solid desserts with a good amount of selections. There were drinks, takoyaki, ice cream and shaved ice. The shaved ice and takoyaki is the thing to get. Stay away from the ice cream, reminds me of the ones you get for free from buffets read more

Went in 45 minutes before closing time and got turned away because they were already cleaning up. From experience, I understand it takes time to clean, prep, and close up shop, but I think 45 minutes is way too early to turn customers away. If you're going to close that early then change the hours! read more

I want to give it 5 stars but croissant taiyaki machine is literally not working 50% of the time im there. But it doesnt stop.me from going love the nutella and biscoff one. The blueberry cream is not my cup of tea... i hope they create more flavours soon! read more

Cocohodo - Desserts Near Me - Flushing, New York

I was a bit disappointed at the spot others called the "best bingsoo" :( The cafe itself has really cute decor and friendly workers but the bingsoo was just okay for me. I got the green tea bingsoo which came with their signature walnut pastry, green tea icecream, mochi, and assorted nuts (almonds, walnuts). The ice was shaved nicely but the bingsoo as a whole was very average tasting. I can't put my exact finger on why, but I was really disappointed. I personally prefer Cafe 1 of a Kind's bingsoo. My friend bought a large bag of their walnut pastry and gave me one, and although I thought it was tasty, it didn't really taste like anything special to me. It was lukewarm and slightly cold in the middle :( It would've been a lot better if it were fresh and warm since I believe they use a machine to make the walnut pastry. I saw a lot of people who really enjoyed their dessert so I would definitely give it a try, but don't expect to be blown away. read more

This place is known for specializing in a korean pastry that is filled with walnuts and red bean. In my honest opinion i think the hodo pastries are way over priced and doesn't seem fresh to me. I understand each hodo pastry is made the same day at the store but i feel like it is dry and lacks red beans. read more

Cute little coffee shop that's relatively unknown. The place got cold every time the door opened and the coffee was subpar. Would not go back unless I'm desperate considering there are so many other places in the area. read more

I've had both the walnut pastry and their taiyaki. First time I had the walnut pastry it was nice and warm, just made but second time around it was already cooled down quite a bit so it wasn't as enjoyable. But the croissant taiyaki is what gets a solid 4 star. So good! If you've had the crossaint taiyaki from Taiyaki NYC then you have to come here to compare bc while that one is flakier this one is more buttery and comes in more varieties. Even though the size is small, and a tad pricey ($3-3.50) I'd still come here. Getting a smaller size just gives me reason to order more than one. Flavors I've had: Biscoff - if you love cookie butter this flavor is for you. Has plenty of cookie bits. Mochi - literally a red bean mochi stuffed inside. There's plenty of sticky mochi inside to enjoy. Sweet potato - you can get it with or without cream cheese. I opted without and it was good, not too sweet and has walnuts inside. Nutella - it's nutella, what else is there to say? Even my husband who doesn't love sweets is a fan. I'll definitely be returning to try the other flavors. read more

Small Oreo and original shaved ice along with the biscoff and Mochi croissant taiyaki. I had to order two taiyakis instead of one because the machine makes two at a time. The mochi has red bean in the center. Large ice coffee and 5 grain latte. So good!! Definitely would come here again read more

I came here for the croissant taiyaki and left a little disappointed. All these Yelp pictures made it look super yummy and irresistible but it's mediocre. It was very hard and the filling was minimal. It's a good concept if executed well, maybe I should experiment and make it at home... hahaha. I got the one with red bean filling and to my surprise, it did taste like red bean, I was excited about that. The place was very cute but not too big. When we got there, it wasn't too busy so we found seats immediately. The place started to fill up quick and people were standing around waiting for seats. I do want to come back and try their walnut snacks and shaved ice. I hope they won't disappoint. read more

One of the best Bingsoo places indeed! Came here around 9:30 AM because I was craving Bingsoo for breakfast. Really liked the ambiance of the place! The small potted trees lined against the shelves on the wooden walls instantly made me feel relaxed and happy. Since it was my first time here, and it was pretty early in the morning, I decided to get the original Cocohodo Bingsoo to go, which is $5.95. 10 minutes later, the Bingsoo was ready(yay)! When I peered into the bag, I noticed that there was ice at the bottom to keep the Bingsoo cold. I was so astonished because I only see that kind of stuff in Korean dramas, LOL. I was so hype that I just couldn't wait to eat it at home and quickly dug in. There were two of the signature Cocohodo walnut pastries to complement really rich helpings of mochi, sliced almonds, chopped walnuts, and red bean paste. A scoop of vanilla ice cream was placed in the center of the bowl to complete the masterpiece. The layer below that is mainly snow-like shaved ice, but that did not affect the taste at all. Ah...so good! FYI, the shaved ice here is nothing like that of Snowdays. The shaved ice at Cocohodo is more compressed and grainier like real snow, while the shaved ice at Snowdays is more light, fluffy and broken apart. read more

Cocohodo - The Original Cocohodo Bingsoo to go! - Desserts Near Me - Flushing, New York

I am so sad to be updating my previous review. I suppose nothing lasts forever. In this case the nothing is cocohodo's bingsoo (shaved ice). They have DRASTICALLY reduced the size of their large bingsoo. This apparently happened couple of months back. ALL of the pictures you see here with the plates being used for their bingsoo are no longer any useful. DO NOT TRUST THE PICTURES OF THEIR BINGSOO'S IN CERAMIC BOWLS. Their large bingsoo's are now served in a metal container similar and slightly larger to the metal "bowls" they use for their smaller sized bingsoo's. They seem to try but of course you just cannot get the huge amount of shaved ice and toppings you used to get. It's physics. That's just how volume works. It's a bit bigger than the smaller counterpart. Putting it into a high and narrow bowl has also made it much harder to eat and share now. What a shame... The only reason this isn't 2 stars is because they've recently imported those square Korean boo-ng uh bbang (aka taiyaki) that's pretty popular these days in Korea. I highly recommend the nutella and biscoff fillings. The taiyaki itself will be pretty sweet no matter what since they just douse it in granulated sugar. So understand what you're getting into when you buy one of these. They are super sweet. Ughh I'M SO SAD! read more

This place is small, but because it isn't super popular it was very easy finding a space to sit and chit-chat with friends. The walnut snacks that they sell are pretty addicting and delicious (there's red bean filling in them). The little pastries are pretty unique and can be bought in gift boxes to bring to others. The coffee (I only had regular hot coffee) tasted like any decent coffee brew would taste. The decor of the place is very modern and cute. It's a very cute space where I would bring a few friends to catch up without having to fight for a seat or stand there awkwardly, hovering over someone until they left, haha read more

the shaved ice was pretty good. We got the matcha flavor. We arrived around 8:20 and was told that we had to give back the tray at 8:45. When we received our shaved ice, it was close to 8:30, so we have 15 minutes to basically inhale the shaved ice as quick as we can. And exactly at 8:45 they asked for our tray back. It made me a little said that I couldn't finish it in peace, even though they closed at 9. The two workers really wanted to go home, I wished they would just let us finish our food, which a few more minutes would've been nice. I am disappointed in the customer service but food was okay. read more

We ordered the tayaki with ice cream and with nutella inside. It has a texture of a crispy croissant and is very good. It takes about 15-20 minutes to make. I ordered the misugaru latte which was a bit salty and wasn't that good. It would be better if they dont wrap their red bean walnut cakes right away since it gets soggy. If they leave it out for a bit before they package it, the outer shell would be crispy and tastier! read more

i loved how it looks just like a walnut! The inside of it was filled red bean paste and a walnut. It was not too sweet, which i liked about it. You can have them packaged in a giftbox or in a bag. Every one of them were individually wrapped. Its a small little shop that just sells this pasteries and drinks. read more

I came to Cocohodo with the wrong expectations. My friend said go to cocohodo for shaved ice. I was craving shaved ice. But I was craving Taiwanese style shaved ice. So when that friend and the bf and I shared a large green tea shaved ice, I was taken by surprise when 1. I couldn't mix flavors 2. I couldn't pick toppings and 3. there was matcha powder on the ice. There were sliced almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, two pieces of walnut pastries, mochi and some green tea ice cream. They also gave us a side shot glass of (I'm guessing) condensed milk. The consistency of the ice was great. Very soft and pillowy. The flavor was a bit milder than I prefer. The walnut pastries were pretty good but I was not a fan of all the other nuts. Overall, it was refreshing on a hot day but was not what I was hoping for. read more

Love this place. Came here on a wkday right before it closed at 10pm for shaved ice. It was delicious! We got the black sesame with red bean shaved ice. Yummy! Totally not what we expected. We thought it would taste something like snowdays. they used black sesame powder over the shaved ice so its not as sweet. We saw a lot of other ppl ordering their different desserts. Must come back to try the other flavors shaved ice!! I think they are known for their walnut desserts. The only con is that its kinda pricey. A large shaved ice cost you around 11 bucks! read more

Cocohodo - Coco shaved ice - Desserts Near Me - Flushing, New York

No idea why this place doesn't have better ratings. It's a nice, clean, and cute little cafe with amazing shaved ice. Their cocohodo shaved ice is the best. It had everything I liked in a shaved ice all on one plate: red bean, walnuts, almonds, ice cream, their walnut/red bean ball, mochi, and incredibly light and fluffy shaved ice. I will bet you $100 that you won't find any other place that makes their ice as fluffy as theirs. It had the right amount of sweetness with condensed milk drizzled over the toppings. I suggest getting the large because I think the small cup sized option will look very, very lame compared to the large plate. It is worth the few extra dollars. I haven't tried any other flavor but I bet they are just as good. I would eat it everyday if I lived nearby. read more

I love the walnut pastries. We first received a small box of them from some neighbors and my family and I were immediately hooked. I've been frequenting this store at least once every week ever since. When you get them warm is absolutely the best. I've had their tea only once (regular green) and it was okay but they're star player is definitely those small walnut goodies. So you would imagine how bummed I am about having to give this place only 3 starts because of the service. Reading the other yelp reviews I can tell that I am in good company. For a store that only has about one real unique marketable product, it acts like it has a lot more to offer. I've been to store in the mornings, right when they open (which is the best time to get the warmest and freshest walnut pastry) and have had decent customer service, there were mostly guys working in the morning as opposed to usual girls behind the counter. But all the other times I've been the girl, particularly one, behind the counter is just rude. This is not some place where you need to strike up conversation with every patron - most people are in and then out within 5 minutes. So the least you could do is treat each customer with at least a satisfactory amount of respect! Such a shame... read more

This place is my go to dessert place after having dinner from one of the many restaurants across the street. Their new menu item taiyaki is aamaaaazing. Crispy, crunchy, flaky, with the the perfect oozy filling (my personal favorite is mochi). The bingsoo here is delicious, and not overly sweet. All the grains they add give it a nice texture while eating. read more

Cocohodo - Peach bubble tea, and green tea snow - Desserts Near Me - Flushing, New York

Cute concept - bringing a specialty snack to an area that has lots of repeats. Their main attraction - the red bean walnut cookie - is good. But, not any different from all of the others I've had. Be it another bakery here, or even in South Korea - I really don't think this basic snack can be done terribly wrong or amazingly right. So what they've really got here is a great little space, good design and marketability for a pretty straight forward product. Cocohodo wraps these little bites individually and offers beautiful packaging. I can totally see the draw of buying a box of these as a gift. But ... I worry about specialty places like this because people's cravings are very much seasonal. While I might enjoy a warm toasty walnut cookie in the winter, I doubt I'll think much of it come summer. And because of that, I understand shops try to offer other items - such as ice cream, coffee, teas, etc. But then, that specialty factor is diminished, and the menu continues to become random and generic. So while I think this will work for a little while - I'm going to predict that Cocohodo may fall victim to the same old korean cafe fate we've witnessed one too many times here in Flushing. read more

This dessert place was very good. Their walnut balls were awesome. Reminded me of when I was a kid. However, people who work there weren't very friendly.

Bingsoo is good. Service is usually fine except when this teenage/adolescent employee is working. He is rude and clearly an unhappy soul. The other employees gladly, if not politely pack the bingsoos in ice and spoons. This one kid employee (with the forever scowl) is lazy and unwilling to work. You have to pull teeth to ask for a spoon. He even said- I kid you not- "get it yourself." I would if it weren't behind the counter you jack. Dear owner- train/teach this kid that in this era, customer service is everything. But bingsoo is good. read more

Nice and quaint little cafe/pastry shop that offers a variety of drinks and desserts. Mostly known for its walnut pastry, it also seems to be popular for its bing soo offerings. Got the Strawberry Bingsoo (large size) which is good to share among 2-3 people. They have a few flavors, as many gravitate towards the green tea version, it seems that all of them have their own unique appeal. While the toppings are minimal in comparison to some other bing soo places around the Flushing area, the flavors are very good. The Walnut pastries are very good too, as it is a waffle shell (shaped like a walnut) with a red bean paste with real walnut filling. If you let the waffle get a little stale (the shell will get harder) it will feel more like a real walnut! Definitely recommended for a visit. read more

The girl that works at the counter at cocohodo was extremely rude to us when all we did was order. When we went to pick up our ready hodogwajas she handed it to us with a huge attitude. Not cool. We were trying to be nice too. I would understand IF it was that we were giving her a hard time but we made a very basic/simple order with no unusual requests, and we didn't bother her - still, it was as if we had sinned her very wrongly. It's a shame because the hodogwajas were pretty tasty and our drinks were good too. I urge the manager to re-evaluate their staff. read more
