    This place is great!!!! A bit of a long wait time, but I think it is worth it. My family got a bag of Cocohodo pastries and I tried two taiyakis - Oreo and Red Bean! Prices kind of on the cheaper side. Cocohodo pastries- not a big fan of walnuts but provided a good crunch! Kind of tastes like taiyaki just with an extra crunch and smaller. Oreo Taiyaki- tastes good, can't really taste the white Oreo paste part though, but it kind of tastes like a chocolate taiyaki. Red bean Taiyaki- pretty good! It was a good Taiyaki. Taiyaki is hot when you first get them so maybe blow on it or wait for it to cool down, it tastes good either way though. There is seating outside the shop.

    It's the addict thing. When I m visiting S Cali with CocoHodo nearby, I got to check it out and plan it so I can bring back some to the states. This one is located inside the market, way at the back by the Paris Baguette. At the time if visit, we were greeted by elder lady with a sample hodo that was still hot. What a nice gesture. They have bags or boxes and also had signs for frozen and day old and two days old at discount. I did get a large bags of two days old on top of fresh ones for gift. One thing for sure. I always gets stopped at TSA. This time, 4 bags, each containing hodo was stopped for additional inspection. Gripe at TSA. Looks like a large BB bomb?

    There were 5 Taiyakis to this order, but I couldn't wait to try them before realizing I forgot to take the before pic.

    I can still remember when I first tried red bean Taiyakis as a kid, and I've loved them ever since. Unfortunately, not all Taiyakis you find these days are the same, with all the variations of waffle shells.... now with the croissant versions.... and fillings also with different textures and sweetness. I do like their Cocohodos, but when they were at the previous spot inside the Zion market, for some reason, their Taiyakis seemed to have a more cakey texture, and the red bean fillings were a bit too sweet. However, they are now located in the food court section of the store, and the Taiyakis are now pretty darn amazing! ... but it needs to be made to order, fresh and hot off the grill, and eaten soon after. You just need to be careful as the fillings will be scorching hot! I'm amazed at how the Taiyakis are now a bit different than when they were selling them at the previous spot. The waffle is perfectly crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and the filling is actually really yummy! I so love the red bean and custard Taiyakis. Ok, the fillings are perhaps a bit sweeter than I would like, but overall, they're really excellent and so remind me of my childhood days. The elderly gentleman manning the counter was also very nice and was the one who made our Taiyaki order from scratch. It goes without saying that this is my go-to place for the best Taiyakis and Cocohodos in town.

    fish taiyaki (pastry shaped like a fish) in OC! brings back Japan memories when I used to have them. They have 10 different flavors: cheese, Nutella, ham & cheese, Oreo, etc. Today, we tried the cocohodo partry (almond) which is really soft and melts in the mouth. The store inside Zion market looks clean organized. Service is great, nice couple.

    This dessert place is conveniently located inside Zion Market next to Paris Baguette. They offer 5 taiyaki for $9.99 which is a great price for the amount you get. You can choose from 5 flavors: custard, taro, red bean, cheddar, and nutella. They also have some hot and cold drinks like tea and coffee. The service was great, the cashier was really nice and explained that there would be around a 10 minute wait for the items. This was no problem at all since I just browsed the market while waiting. The shop's location makes it very easy to walk around the market and come back when everything's ready. The taiyaki is served a paper to-go box with a handle. There is a lot of seating closer to the food court area, so you can take the dessert home or enjoy it there. Overall, I really enjoyed the taiyaki here and will likely come back for more, as well as to try their Korean walnut pastries!

    The taiyaki here is amazing! This dessert place is located within Zion Market and I highly recommend coming here even if you're not shopping. The service is excellent and the wait is only 10 minutes because the taiyaki is made fresh. I ordered two red bean and three nutella filled taiyakis They were a little crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside; there was also the perfect amount of red bean and nutella fillings added. I look forward to going back and trying other fillings!

    Love the name!!

    Cocohodo is a place you must stop in and get fresh walnut pastry and fresh Taiyaki!! Five flavors to choose! Red Bean, Custard, Taro, Oreo, and Nutella. Experiencing eating it right away when it comes off the grill. WoW!! This place is located "inside Zion Market to the left side where the food court is at". Excellent service and fun spot to take a break! Great ambiance and set so you can see them make it!! A great family business and great people!! Be back soon!!

    They are located inside of Zion market. We got 5 taiyaki for $9.99 (taxes included). Service was fast. It was freshly baked (took 7-8 mins) after we placed an order. You have the options for filling as well. They were good, kind of a little sweet but I guess, it is normal to the most of people. We will be back with more family!

    Highly recommend Cocohodo's Korean walnut pastry (Hodugwaja)! Located inside Irvine's Zion market along the back wall, Cocohodo is truly the perfect place to pick up some tasty snacks. They offer their signature walnut pastry along with taiyaki and even shaved ice. The walnut pastries can be purchased in either bags or gift boxes and in various quantity/size. I picked up the 36pc gift box ($20.50), and it was so nicely packaged. Freshly made every morning, these pastries were still warm in the box. The walnut pastries are bite sized cakes filled with sweetened red bean paste and walnut. The sweetness is just right to pair with a cup of tea to enjoy anytime!

    Very delicious!! Great service! Super fresh!! They baked them right there and they were still warm in the gift box! They wrapped the gift boxes very quickly and they're well presentable!! The most important part is... everybody loves them! My relatives truly enjoyed them.

    The walnut pastries are very tasty. They are not too sweet but the sweetness do get a little overwhelming after eating a few.

I had a brace on my hand, had multiple drinks, and a pastry. Just put the top on for me. Why do I have to go to a second location? Tastes wise, everything was delicious. I would definitely try this place again. The inside was cute and looked like a nice place to socialize or relax with a book. Parking was FULL. I lucked out when I was parking, as someone had just left. People followed me to take my spot as I was leaving.

Ayer Coffee is located in the middle of a Tustin small strip mall plaza. It's a pretty small shop with very limited seating inside and usually a line waiting outside. I came in the middle of the day on a weekday around 1PM where the line wasn't too bad but grew quickly right after I left. You wait outside until you're called in to order with a menu waiting for you at the window. Ayer has a variety of coffee drinks, but I was here for the matcha which they conveniently number in order along with seasonal/special drinks. As always for me, I order the standard iced matcha latte without any syrups. Service was super kind all around. Getting the drink took about 5 minutes. All-around, I can see why people enjoy the matcha, even at the base drink level. The size is a good standard cup for about $7, and the matcha is very noticeable without being too grassy / earthy. It had a well balanced consistency and think it was mixed with solid oat milk that didn't overpower the matcha. Ayer sources their own matcha which they also sell. Overall, came away impressed that it met the hype!

We have been on a hunt to find the best matcha in Orange County and this was officially stop 26 for us, so we take this pretty seriously at this point. My wife ordered the matcha latte with light ice and lavender syrup, and I went with the ube matcha latte as recommended by the barista. Overall the place itself was a very cool spot, honestly the kind of place you would want to post up at and get some work done. The decor and artwork were really different and cool to see, definitely gave the place its own personality. The staff were extremely sweet and welcoming too, made the whole visit that much better. As for the matcha themselves, they were actually pretty good. The matcha latte was nice and smooth with a very balanced taste, slightly bitter even with the added lavender but still easy to enjoy overall. Next time we are probably going to ask for light ice and maybe an extra pump of lavender or vanilla just to cut back on that bitterness a bit. As for the ube matcha, that one was very good too, though mine had way too much ice and was gone in like three sips unfortunately. The flavor of the ube came through nicely and was pretty balanced, though I would have liked a little more matcha flavor since the ube can easily take over. Overall, not bad matchas at all, though not the best we have had on this journey, but still worth a stop if you need something quick and good.

They have a restoration fee hidden under their agreement on line 55 that says you have to pay $1,300 for a 200 sq. ft. space after three months to restore the office to the way it was. Even though I didn't put anything on the walls and there was nothing changed in the office, all I had was my desk. I asked them to reduce the fee since it was only there for three months and not a year and they did reduce it but only by 50%. The fact that it exists at all is ridiculous and the fact that it's hidden is even more sketchy. Be aware if you come to this place because there are these hidden fees that they don't present to you up front. They pass them off as an agreement and not a lease so that they can hide their fees. I also tried to extend my lease by a month even though my office I was in was taken. I asked to move to another office but then they said I had to pay the restoration fee for that office as well, which again is completely ridiculous. If you're gonna charge a fee, make sure it's clear and up front. Don't hide it halfway down a huge agreement. I think this is totally against the California Hidden Fees Act too.
