Love the walnut treats just wish the location was much closer. They could make date walnut treats or custard walnut.

Quick, easy delicious desserts! Macarons are yummy! Have the perfect crispiness and perfect creamy flavorful filling! Service is quick and easy and even though the little cafe is small..it is decorated nicely and is clean :) read more

Cocohodo - Macarons! - Desserts Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

We came here to try something different. We tried the walnut pastry and it was ok. It seems to possibly have red beans or walnut paste inside and a walnut. The iced coffee was good. The ambience was nice but very warm inside, it would be a great place to get some Korean shaved iced though. The macaroons looked really good but we didn't want to buy a small box as I am temporarily diabetic due to a third major surgery. Service was great, very attentive. read more

this is a lovely bakery. the owner's son worked very closely with my cousins and me in preparing gift boxes of walnut cookies for the funeral of a very loved member of our family. the owner's son created a tailored message, including an image of cosmos, for the gift boxes, and he also delivered those boxes, in the heat, to the place where we held the funeral. this is a wonderful place with incredibly kind and compassionate ownership. they went out of their way for us. we're so appreciative. read more

Needed to find a dessert spot on a Saturday afternoon and decided to try this place out since they had a variety of options. Arrived to find the place deserted, so we were helped quickly; she was nice, but English skills are limited. Friends quickly ordered sweet buns, macarons, and sesame cookies to go, and a bingsu to share in store. Wanted strawberry, but was sold out, so we settled for Oreo. The reason for the 3 instead of 4 stars is because the store did not have ac (there was a fan in the back) and the bingsu was very pricey for the size. read more

I ordered the combo A, which contains a hot cup of coffee plus 4 walnut pastries. I enjoyed the cafe's warm colors that creates a charming and warm vibe. Service is fast as my order came out in less than a minute. The staff saw my backpack and then informed me there are no outlets in the cafe. The cafe was mostly empty, but small groups of customers came and went during my visit. As mentioned in other yelpers' reviews, the coffee is light and watered down. I would not recommend ordering the coffee here as there is little taste. The walnut pastries on the other hand were great. Just the right amount of sweetness and a fun mixture of textures with the red bean filling, the walnut bits, and the dough. Overall, the coffee is an 1/5 rating, but the ambience and the pastry carried my overall rating to a 3/5. read more

When I saw the sign of this place, I had to pop in to see if it was the red bean walnut shaped pastries I was given as a gift once. Omg, it is! Not too sweet, just the perfect amount of sweetness in a soft walnut shaped pastry. I bought myself a medium sized bag with 20 pieces and it's hard not to eat them all by myself. I bought a bag and my friend bought the other one (I'm not a complete fatty) read more

Cocohodo - 2 medium bags of deliciousness - Desserts Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Cocohodo is a well-known Korean dessert shop in Rowland Heights! Their signature walnut pastries are freshly baked and filled with a delicious sweet red bean paste and crunch walnut bites inside. The pastries are soft, lightly sweet, and perfect with a cup of their Korean drinks or coffee. read more

Believe me when I say, I love to explore new (to me) coffee houses and I had Cocohodo in my radar for a while. I did however expected for the menu to be a little bit more extense. I personally have always thought that coffee shops in particular need to offer a variety of drinks (made w coffee) and not so much focus on other type of beverages. Now, that said they do have a limited pastry variety but this was to be expected and the one on their claim to fame is their famous 'walnut pastry' which was PHENOMENAL. I loved the flavor and if you have been hesitant to try anythibg labeled w 'red bean paste', dont. It is bsolutely delicious. The place is cozy and very quiet despite being in a high traffic area. The guy who took my order didn't quite explain to me what exactly were this walnut pastries (or the girl who walked in after me) but I was still hapoy with his offer. Def coming back read more

Their walnut and red bean pastry used to be better. It now tastes a bit dough-y, not enough walnut flavor. I took my bf here to try it since he never tried them before and he was a bit disappointed. It has been a while since I came back for these (almost 5 years) and something was a bit off with the taste. But my bf's mom loved them; i guess it depends on the person. read more

I love their Korean walnut pastries (hodu-gwaja) because they serve them warm! These pastries are walnut-shaped and contain a small walnut and sweet red bean filling inside. It's the perfect not so sweet little treat. You have the option to purchase them in a bag or box. The box is more presentable if you're thinking of buying some as a gift. There are three size options: small, medium, and large. A medium-sized bag with 20 walnut pastries cost me $13.50. read more

Yummy!! First time trying this place since my friend was raving about it and it was definitely worth the hype! Their walnut and red bean donut is sooo delicious and came warm. It's not too sweet and a perfect gift for parents. Definitely will be coming back! The service was good she was nice and informative. It was pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon read more

We were craving shaved ice and wanted something local so we decided to try COCOHODO this establishment is within walking distance from where I live. They have many menu items but we ordered snowy Bingsoo, which consisted of snow ice texture with dairy and fresh strawberries, It wasn't bad something different. The customer service was friendly and courteous. The structure is medium in size, it's put together nicely with plenty of tables to sit down and enjoy your dessert. There's plenty of parking, the handicapped stalls are close to the front entrance. read more

Pastry is good and affordable. Not served warm like the buena park location, but still taste solid. If you like red bean, you will like this. Coffee is ok. Either too light or watered down or maybe just human error on that particular day. They have other stuff too like shaved ice, macarons, smoothie, and croffle w/ ice cream. Cafe was so empty and sad. Came on saturday afternoon and there was barely anybody. It was pretty awkward to sit around by ourselves but lady was nice and left us alone. We should come back here to support the business! read more

Best Cafe in Rowland heights!!! Korean-owned and perfect seating arrangement. I tell all my friends and family about it! I have gone to many cafes and traveled so many places, and I can tell you as someone who goes to Rowland Heights often, this is the best service you will get in a cafe. Kim, the lady behind the cashier is so kind and sweet . She works so hard and deserves all the love in the world. She told me that she makes the green plum juice by hand, and it is the most refreshing drink ever! The friendly service makes you keep coming, but the walnut cookies have me addicted. I learned about this cafe years ago when I wanted to try something new and get some ice cream. Over time, I started spending hours being productive, hanging out and enjoying the atmosphere. The green plum juice, the walnut cookies, and the macaroons are so good! The WiFi is great and it's very easy to sit anywhere with good air condition! I am very grateful they opened this cafe in Rowland heights and kept the business, I hope they keep getting new customers and everyone tries the walnut cookies and green plum juice. Best way to get breakfast on a budget! And such amazing quality, you won't find this anywhere else! Make sure to give a tip, because they work so hard!! read more

My husband came across this place because it brought back childhood memories for him. He hadn't had the walnut red bean pastries since he was a kid. I'd never heard of it. So he wanted me to try it. We ordered two bags of the walnut pastries. We would've also ordered shaved ice but the cashier said the machine was broken. I was pleasantly surprised when the walnut pastries came out warm and cutely wrapped. I felt like a squirrel opening a little parcel. The pastry is nice and soft and cakelike on the outside and filled with delicious red bean and walnuts on the inside. We brought some back to share at home and they were a hit. read more

Walnut Pastries and Shaved Ice? It's literal heaven. Since I was little, I loved hodugwaja (warm bread ball filled with red bean and walnuts) and never found a place in America that lived up to the Korean expectations, but this place changed the game. The ambiance is very cute and calm which reflects the customer service!! The workers were very very polite. They also have bingsoo (shaved ice) with the walnut pastries as toppings. It tastes extraordinary, trust me! Recommendations: - Walnut pastry Bags - Shaved Ice - Green Tea read more

Pretty decent French macarons. They offer more mainstream flavors, such as chocolate, vanilla, salted caramel, pistachio, lemon, raspberry, strawberry, green tea, etc. The texture is pretty good and the pricing is fairly reasonable. However, I suspect they don't make the macarons fresh here, as I actually saw them taking more out of a big box from the back. Nonetheless, this is a decent option if you're just looking for a macaron fix or are interested in some of their other desserts (which I have yet to try)! read more

Oh my gosh... their coffee is absolute garbage. We ordered iced sea salt caramel macchiato. I don't know what the heck they served us, but it was absolute garbage. Bland. Didn't taste like coffee; didn't taste like caramel; no salt; ice melted and dissolved into the drink. Gross. I should've asked for a theft report for taking my money read more

I'm Coco for CocoPuffs! Hold up, wrong intro. I'm just Coco for Cocohodo and their popular streets snack! Yep, these little hard gems have been around for over a hundred years in South Korea and now here where we all can enjoy them! A fun fact alert! This walnut snack is popular during the cold season and that's a fact! So these freshly baked nutcrackers are sometimes filled with cream mousse and nuts for that added sweetness. So since I was new to this even though I grew up in Koreatown, it was a tasty experience. My tastebuds were confused with the sweet and nutty flavors but passed inspection of this delightful Korean treat. Fun fact alert! Some or many Asian countries revere walnuts not on due to the fact that they're nutritious but because they do kinda resemble brains. True fact people! Hence, the practice of consuming them just before important school exams. Man, I need to eat more of these bad boys because I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed! LoL! The service was on point and took me back to my childhood days in Koreatown were the Nunas were so nice to this bowl cut kid! LoL. So besides the walnut snacks they offer a bunch of tasty goodies and should definitely be explored by your tastebuds And that's my take on this sweet adventure, Peace... read more

This such a cute and tiny space, and their walnut pastries makes it even cuter! On a Friday night, the place was pretty chill and the staff was very welcoming. I ordered the combo B which includes 9 walnut pastries and 2 coffees. I didn't specify whether I wanted sugar or cream with it - so they came out black. Regardless, I came to try out their walnut pastries and I was not dissapointed. I love that their in the shape and in the size of real walnuts. It's most filled with red bean paste and a small piece of walnut. The red bean is super sweet, not bitter at all. And the outside bread is really soft as well. Shared between two people, 9 pastries are perfect. Combo B comes to about $10 and a small bag (10 pastries) costs about $5. Both are a great deal, and I definitely recommend trying out this place. read more

If you are looking for the traditional shaved ice then this is the place. Their shaved ice is literally ice shaved (NOT MILK based). They can make it better if they add some condensed milk to it. Just my thought ;) read more

Cocohodo - Bingsoo (shaved ice) - Desserts Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

I made a remote order from Colorado, but the order never has been delivered due to delay from USPS, which is not a fault from the seller. However the seller would not take any responsibility and blamed me not to take any action to find out how to get the package at my own. Finally the seller refunded the entire payment but also tremendously mocked at me. Update on 12/17/2020 Screen captures of text conversation with the seller were originally posted, but Yelp removed due to privacy concerns. I assume the seller requested to remove the screen captures to cover up their unprofessional manner. read more

I stopped by to purchase a gift box of Macarons . I came 30 minutes before closing time , so they were almost sold out . Luckily they had just enough for the gift box . The service was great.

I do plan on coming back to purchase a treat for myself next time. read more

INSANELY BIZARRE TO THE NEXT LEVEL! Like literally... NEXT LEVEL!!! It was 101 degrees today. I went in to order a drink, planned on sitting down to wait for a few of my friends. The lady refused to turn on the AC, so I decided to leave to find another place that has AC. Didn't find a cafe... So I went back in and mentioned I'll be sitting down with my friends, please turn on the AC, we will all order, she still refused, but brought out her son (I believe it was her son) this man is Korean, in his 20's or early 30's, wears glasses, heavy weight, about 5'10. He kept telling me they are a bakery store and only to to-gos, if that's the case, they shouldn't have tables and seats out for customers. I told them that it's very hot, they should turn on the AC, this man told me there's a cafe down the street, they have AC, that's why they don't turn on the AC. I'm like ok, I'll go there, then suddenly this man said "GET THE FUCK OUT MY STORE!" I turned, furious, and yelled back that they're unprofessional and walked out... Then, I heard his mom yelling in the store, I turned, I saw him RAN OUT THE STORE and came after me and looks like he was going to HIT ME!!! Then his mom ran out and tried to stop him. I am a 5'1 110 pounds female... He started cursing, his mom stood between us and I was TERRIFIED AND SHOCKEd!!! I ended up speed walking away while his mom is holding him back. I called the police but realized the store was closed when we got there. The police told me I can call again and meet them there tomorrow. Unfortunately I do not want to waste anymore time on this loser. Awful place, and awful guy. read more

Food and Latte were honestly okay. For whatever reason they wouldn't let us use any of the outlets despite the store being relatively empty. I would understand if the location was busy, or if we had been there for hours on end, but we had been there for less than an hour. Pastry's are unique, but not anything to write home about and wasn't worth the bad service. Edit: they told me it was because they are afraid of electrocution, I appreciate them explaining why. read more

We had a fair experience here but felt that the operations were fairly stingy with basics like napkins. She gave us one napkin! Really! Now the food, we didn't try the walnut pastry but got the shaved ice. Overall not super impressed, not enough of the condensed milk to seep all the way through to the bottom of the shaved ice. We asked for the green tea but they ran out so we took vanilla. Generally underwhelmed by the dessert. We had three people and the store was empty so we were going to sit at a larger 6 person table. The store owner asked us not too. Fine I get it but generally wasn't impressed with their approach. Very average food, quality, and service but points for cute ambiance and a good place to hang out. read more

I have driven past Cocohodo cafe for years but never went inside. They are in the same plaza as Hanmi Bank, New Garden and Cham Sut Gol Korean BBQ. I went for their macarons but also got their walnut pastries. Good thing I did. I got Earl Grey macarons and the cookie part had a faint flavor of Earl Grey tea, but sadly the chocolate ganache filling over powered the tea flavor. The almond flour cookies have a very soft texture, not crunchy and delicious like Lette. I would say, 3 stars for the Earl Grey macarons. I will have to try their other flavors next time to see if the macarons are worth getting. Now, their walnut pastries are what they are famous for and what my 5 stars are for. The pastries were warm, fresh with red bean paste and walnut filling. So delicious and yummy! Affordable too! I will absolutely return for those. read more

Average drinks, a little above-average shaved ice, average service. My girlfriend and I came here because I was craving shaved ice. We ended up sharing the coco shaved ice which had their special walnut pastry. Food/drinks: both the drinks and the shaved ice itself are pretty average. Nothing too special, and kind of not worth my money. It was yummy, don't get me wrong, but I wish there was an equal shaved ice to topping ratio. Service: service was okay. Was helpful and friendly, but nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, I would go somewhere else. It was good, but with other shaved ice places within the area, I'd like to try others. read more

Cocohodo - Coco Shaved Ice (special walnut pastries on top) - Desserts Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Food taste is reason for low rating. However this place is a nice place to study. Just that being there for the shaved ice I was sooooooo disappointed and regretted not just going to sul and bean. It looks the same but everything in it is just the cheaper and not yummy version of the bingsoo at sul and bean. I got the green tea medium bingsoo. The ice cream on top tasted not like green tea. The spoons and plastic bowls were like from home. Wifi was good. Seats were comfy. Tables were spacious. Didnt feel crowded even though all tables were full. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing but I would come back just to study and try something different. read more
