The atmosphere is okay. The music and fans are a bit loud. It's not much of a relaxing sit down vibe. Service has been okay. Food wise, there's a good selection of macarons and gelatos. I've had most of the gelatos, and out of the ones I've tried, I like black sesame & strawberry cheesecake the post. The Old Fashioned Taiyaki - Has been undercooked multiple times now. I received undercooked taiyaki 4 times in a row with the inside being extremely gooey and inedible. When cooked well, it's really good but unfortunately it hasn't been consistent. Coffee Affogato - It was okay, the espresso is a bit more harsh than it should be. It might be a bit burnt. Is coffee ice cream but tastes better than a typical "coffee ice cream". The espresso on top of the vanilla ice cream makes the taste better. read more

When looking for this place on Apple Maps it shows as Sweet Churros & Ice cream but on google maps it shows as Cocohodo - I was craving churros so my husband brought me here after dinner in wood ridge. Parking is hard to find, we had to park 4 blocks away. Churros are SO GOOD! Served to order hot and warm - very fresh and so yummy. We were full from dinner so we didn't get ice cream or soft serve - just the Oreo churro ($7). It was so good we got a regular churro to take on the ride home. :) the churros only take 5 min for them to make and fulfilled my craving! Love love love. Place is clean and there is plenty of seating. The ice cream looked nice and they have a display for boba toppings, prepacked dessert cups and bottled drinks. read more

Went for the churros. All the churros. They make them fresh when you order, so obviously the fry is perfect. Don't be afraid of the marshmallow-- they put on just enough to make the texture interesting. Also had a boba milk tea which was great. Tons of other desserts as well which I hope to try some day. read more

I needed to satisfy my sweet tooth, so I chose Cocohodo in Pal Park because they have an extensive dessert menu. But maybe it's too extensive for its own good... It almost feels "all over the place," if you know what I mean. It's like they're trying to be a coffee shop, bubble tea shop, bakery, juice bar, Asian dessert store, and gelato/ice cream parlor all at once. One of the most popular items they are known for are sweet churros. The thing is, their churros are not that sweet (which may or may not be a good thing depending on your preference). If you're expecting them to be on the level of authentic Mexican ones, they missed that by miles. I ordered the original churro (cinnamon sugar) with taro soft serve ice cream ($8). I give them bonus points because they made the churro fresh, but once I took a bite into it, I was disappointed. It was incredibly bland and wasn't coated enough with sugar and cinnamon. The taro ice cream was way too icy, so icy that I could literally see the individual ice bits. It was nothing like the consistency of ice cream, soft serve, OR froyo. Service is just okay. I wasn't greeted and the employee seemed a bit stand off-ish. A smile and a "Hi, how are you?" or "Do you have any questions about the menu?" goes a long way. They have so many other things on their menu, so maybe you can find something that you would like. But overall this was just a very average experience for me. read more

Came in here for desert after getting some food from down the road. The Churros were great. Had the marshmallow combo and all in the combo impressed. Place was clean was clean and well-lit. Will return to try other flavors. read more

Pretty nice little ice cream shop with a host of other sweet items to chew on. I took the family here and the ice cream was definitely a hit. The texture of the ice cream was actually pretty good and they give you a decent amount for what you pay for. The interior is fairly simple, it's just a place to grab some quick desserts. Nothing special or splashy but it gets things done. I don't know what else to say other than this is a great choice if you want dessert after a gigantic Korean bbq meal nearby (which is exactly what we did) and it hit the spot! read more

They have a good selection and the sizes are definitely bigger than what you would typically think of as a small, so you're getting your moneys worth. The original yogurt soft serve was delicious and we also got birthday cake (but it tasted more like cotton candy). They did have some additional specialty items in their freezers that I would definitely come back for! read more

I came in to get dessert and was not disappointed! Their churros are made fresh and taste delicious. It was warm and I would definitely recommend. We also got the blue lemonade. It was really aesthetically pleasing. It tasted like a regular lemonade. They have many other desserts that I would love to come back and try! read more

Cocohodo - Churro - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

I tried out this cafe only because it was late at night and many other cafes were closed or packed - I didn't have high expectations so I was so shocked when I ordered the taiyakis and they came out so fresh and sooooo good! The original one (I ordered it with cream) took a while to come out - but it was almost like a mochi on the inside (and crispy on the outside)!!! I went back and ordered some more!! I also tried the walnut pastries - they're super cute and have red bean and a walnut in them! The churro was fresh as well and I do recommend getting the taro and matcha soft serve - loved the flavors! Will be back for more taiyakis!! read more

Needed a mid-afternoon caffeine fix, so i dropped in to get a drip coffee but was tempted by all the sweets options. Wanted everything.... The walnut pastry, the taiyaki.. but then those fridges w all the glass jars just kept beckoning to me, and I succumbed to temptation and got an espresso crème brûlée. Still in theme w my original intent of getting caffeine right? Service was 5/5 excellent and efficient, lots of seating but I took it to go. Devoured the espresso crème brûlée in the car and OMG sooo good. Perfect amount of sweetness, so creamy delicious. I'll be back. read more

Cocohodo - Espresso crème brûlée and regular drip coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

Solid hodo gwaja (walnut pastry snack)! Recently picked up a bag of 30 to go--they were solid. Each piece only had one walnut but overall it was fresh. If you eat them when they just come out, they are so good and you can probably go through a whole handful by yourself. Will have to try the churros next time! Haven't been there since it was Red Mango as well. read more

Cocohodo - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

This Cocohodo is way different than the other location I've been to (in Closter). I had high expectations and felt very underwhelmed. The pricing and flavors for their croissant taiyakis are different also. At this location you get two smaller ones instead of one large one per order. Unfortunately, the four croissant taiyakis that we got did not taste at all like croissant and didn't have the light glaze on top. They were unsweetened and flavorless waffles - like eating a saltine without salt and also very dry. Hopefully the day we visited was just an off day because after my experience in Closter, I had been raving about Cocohodo and the amazing croissant taiyakis to everyone! Might try again if I'm in the area - maybe their specialty is the churros. read more

We came for dessert. Sad that there isn't much seating anymore because of the pandemic. So you can't really hang out. There are four very small tables outside. We ordered the ice cream churro with green tea ice cream. The churro was very good to our surprise. Made to order. And tasted perfectly soft. And not too over saturated with sugar. The ice cream was a bit too watery. I guess it was soft serve ice cream. But a little too soft and turned to soup really quick. Eat fast! But overall a good place to come to after a late dinner. read more

Cocohodo - Ice cream churro - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

Wowwww. Their pistachio cake looks sooo cute. I got the peach tea which was just a loose leaf tea, but it was so fragrant. Loved it. They also sell NYC macarons in cute boxes, churros in ice cream, and several selections of bubble tea. I guess they aren't doing the soft serves anymore. They still have the hodos and the fruit breakfast acai bowls. There's only outdoor seating. read more

Even after reading some reviews I wanted to give this spot a chance. A friend and I visited on a weekday night cause he was craving some sweets. I got an order of a churro with some marshmallow and coconut on it. My friend got a plain one with a vanilla and matcha ice cream. Like the reviews said the ice cream tasted off. It was sour and really tasted like it has gone bad. My churro was okay. Not freshly made. His was though and it tasted pretty good. Really just a lot of execution issues. Has potential but I don't know where things are going wrong. read more

Churros dunked into Taro or matcha flavored ice cream. It's their own take of New Orleans beignet and coffee, I suppose. The ice cream serving is a bit too small for the size of the churros, taking away 1 star. read more

Cocohodo - Churros and taro/ matcha flavored ice cream. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

Uh, I used to come here to pick up frozen yogurt. And then they started selling lots of other stuff like taiyakis, churros, keki cheesecakes and some snacks on the side like a deli. I've tried taiyaki, outside is crispy and nice but there barely was any fillings... whether it's green peas, red beans or cream, they are so stingy, there's barely any filling inside. Also, they are pre-made and keep them in an oven so it's not fresh. Churros are nice though. All their stuff is overpriced but I thought it was okay. And then I saw they were selling the tiger sugar milk tea. I've been to the authentic tiger sugar milk tea store in Flushing and was pretty impressed so I decided to give it a try in Jersey. Huge mistake. For a small black sugar milk tea, I paid $5.88.. it was tiny.. I saw the server making it, it was just pre-made tea with milk and they put some syrup which is like melted bobas.. and that was it. Is this really black sugar milk tea? I don't know. I could've gotten a meal at fast food restaurants for that price. Also, this place gets really noisy and loud. Like really really loud.. read more

Cocohodo - A small $5.88 black sugar milk tea that's just milk and melted boba.. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

I had a bubble tea craving at night and wanted to try a different place from my usual. The black sugar milk tea was ok, I just tasted milk and sugar for over $6 Soo might not be going back read more

First time I went here, I didn't know any better. Second time was because Gongcha a couple of doors down had no seats, and I remembered Cocohodo as being spacious. Then it finally clicked! It's empty because it's overpriced. And they've gotten part of my order wrong both times. I overlooked it because everything still tasted good and service was really friendly, but it's not enough to come back. My total today was $19 for just one bubble tea, one coffee, and one churro/soft serve combo. And they sell hair dryers, flat irons, and brushes by the sugar and milk. Huh? read more

Cocohodo - Rainbow churro with taro/matcha soft serve - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

With the multiple opportunities to grab a sweet treat in Palisades Park Cocohodo comes in as average. It's a very clean and simple spot to hang out with friends and relax - I was extremely excited to try the Churro Ice Cream after seeing all the pictures on Yelp - it was delicious and worth the trip! The churro itself was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and seasoned well with sugar and cinnamon. What they call ice cream was actually fro-yo - I was also given the option to choose my flavor which was nice, so I ended up creating a mango fro-yo with a Churro on top. read more

Cocohodo - Churro Ice Cream - Mango flavored Fro-Yo - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

Good cute little desert place in Palisades Park. Good for going to after one of the nearby restruants to pick up something sweet. The coffee affagato is nice, the ice cream mixed with the coffee is good but the espresso wasn't the best. It tasted burnt and harsh. The tayaki was pretty good but nothing too special. Music is a bit too loud but thats an easy fix. read more

When we are in the mood for churros we travel all the way here they make them in the spot. Great fresh tasting churros. The coffee was also delicious read more

I ordered strawberry bubble tea and they gave me syrup and water and it tastes disgusting.. it's not edible "drinkable" and I called them all they told me was request a refund off uber eats and they told me the strawberry bubble tea is not tea "it's syrup and water our recipe is different" Customer service is trash At least they told me the truth that it's not even tea and that it's only syrup . This is a scam do not order from here . My review is a 0 or a negative . GROSS . read more

Ordered churros through Uber eats. Honestly you could save your money by just going to a pretzel store and getting it coated in cinnamon and sugar. I suppose it is visually aesthetic though and will make you feel *fancy*. Easy to eat, moist inside, texture confused my parents haha. Anyway I always wanted to try these and now I can say mission accomplished. read more

Cocohodo - Churro box of four - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

Also known as Sweet Churros! Absolutely love this place! It definitely satisfies my dessert cravings and my love for variety. There's bubble tea, gelato, a wide assortment of frozen desserts, Mochi, pastries, tayaki fish cakes, and of course fresh made churros. I got the churro with rainbow cereal and melted marshmallow and loved every bite! The crunchy caramelized cinnamon sugar and colorful cereal topped with gooey marshmallow creates the perfect juxtaposition to the warm chewy inside of the churro. Makes for quite an epicurean adventure. Also a very aesthetically pleasing dessert perfect for photos. The croissant tayaki fish cake with custard cream filling is also fantastic for those who prefer a more buttery flaky texture. All freshly made and served steaming hot. Can't wait to try more of their desserts! read more

Cocohodo - Rainbow cereal churro with melted marshmallow- must try!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

Worst customer service ever. Today(1/15/24) there was a very rude, unprofessional female employee working at the counter. If she doesn't want to work/service customers, she should've stayed at home. I wouldn't be coming back because of her. There are many other dessert places in Palisades Park to go to instead of this place. I'm telling everyone that I know not to go there because of HER. The owner should be present at the store if they want their customers to come back. read more

My favorite place to get churros! They sell large churros that at 9 to 10 inches long and a churro box that contains 4 pieces of 5 to 6 inch churros. The churros have a nice crisp to the outside but melt in your mouth. Cocohodo also sells Red Mango frozen yogurt and a small selection of other baked goods. The cafe is always very clean. read more

Best dessert spot in all of Palisades Park hands down! Love their churros and ice cream! Everything they make is quality!! Will be coming back regularly! read more

Let's start with the good: The service was friendly and the place was pretty clean. Well...that's it for the good. Are you wondering about the product they're serving? The answer? Zero stars. The headless fish body ice cream cones that the flavorless soft serve was pumped into was stale and chewy. Just awful and difficult to eat. Two stars for service and cleanliness. ZERO for thier wares. Drive by this place. read more

pretty good other than the fact that it wasn't warm hence i docked off 1 star. we also got custard which was so good. the dough was like mochi . i got the lychee mojito which was really refreshing since the baked goods were so sweet and heavy. would love to come here again and try their churros and soft serve read more

Went there to get late night ice cream and munchies. I tried their matcha ice cream and it was alright. I regret not trying Taiyaki...

Hodo is a small, individually wrapped Korean walnut pastry, shaped like a walnut and filled with a bit of red bean paste and (surprise!) a walnut. You can get it in the bus, in Korea. Here, it's a bite of nostalgia for transplants and a source of fascination for enthusiasts of the culture like me. However, it's not what we came here for specifically. I wanted to try Cocohodo's infamous Bing Soo; a milky, fruity, soft-flavor-pearls-that-burst-in-your-mouth-y shaved ice desert that I was promised, would blow my mind. The $13-dollar multi-person treat did not disappoint at all. The fruit (pieces of mango, strawberry and blueberries) was fresh, ripe and sweet. The ice cream mixed with lightly shaved ice was silky and refreshing. Every ingredient in it danced beautifully with each other. And the thing is huge! The experience was way worth the 15 minutes that it took to get prepared. We also ordered the Hodo and a delicious churro/ice cream combo that no kid should grow up without knowing. I'm already dreaming of coming back here but this time during the day, when I can accompany everything with a coffee. read more

I would love to give this place a 5 star. The food and drinks are great but there's just one thing about this place that sets me back, the attitude that I receive from the cashier. Today, I simply asked her about the flavor of the macaroons and she just responded "just tell me how many you want" with a very rude and annoyed tone, when paying, also the same tone .... Which is not the way to go for the hospitality industry. Usually the man that takes my order is very polite. So maybe the females should learn a little. Also one more thing I want to mention, while waiting for my order, I witnessed the pick and choose. Depending on your race, age and style, their tone will change. You will be treated differently, they make it too obvious. read more

I secretly come here every time I'm here. Wait... I spilled the beans. Get the ice cream.

The fact that it's always busy is a great sign. read more
