Mango Bingsu
Jo P.

Cute place, it was packed but by time we left all the tables were full. Has a lot of variety on the menu. I enjoyed our snow ice, a very shareable portion.

I've been wanting to try bingsu for a while, and this place satisfied my craving! It is definitely large enough to share between 2 people. The mango was ripe and sweet, mochi was nice and chewy, and the vanilla ice cream on top was quite flavorful. The snow ice itself had less flavor than the vanilla ice cream, but when all eaten together it was really delicious. They've got quite a few tables inside, there were several groups here on a Saturday night. Would come again if I were craving bingsu and in the area!

Ham and cheese sandwich
Ninah P.

Came here for the first time to do some studying. I wasn't too sure if it would be a good study spot since I hadn't been before but it worked out nicely. There's a good amount of tables and outlets nearby. I went in the late afternoon on the weekend and it wasn't busy either. The drinks were refreshing. I got the lime mojito and would definitely recommend. I also tried their ham and cheese sandwich. I wish they would have updated photos or a description of the food items. I didn't expect the sandwich to come with mustard and pickles (two things I don't enjoy too much). I would want to come back and try some of their desserts next time though!

Nice walnut desserts with walnut inside and different flavors red bean, Nutella, cream cheese, hot dog. I had only tried the original red bean but today I tried the other flavors and they were all good. Maybe not the hotdog haha. I got a gift box to give a friend of mine. I also got the matcha latte with oat milk and it was good, kind of small size. Overall a really nice cafe to hang out and the walnut desserts are really good.

We were feeling snacky so coffees, 21 cocohodos and a vanilla ice cream were ordered. Everything was made well and we got to see the process of them making the walnut pastries. It was nice to try it again~

Today I was just looking for something new and simple to satisfy my usual matcha green tea craving on a Saturday morning. Downtown San Mateo didn't work out due to the congestion and protesting, so I end up in this part of town. A random pick seeing the good reviews and I am not disappointed so far. Right next door to Han Kook market on El Camino. Plenty of parking and as soon as you go inside, you are greeted by spaciousness and calm vibe with light K-pop in the background. I thought their menu was interesting, but I was just focused on getting one item and ended up with hot Green Tea Latte for $5.45 Staff that assisted me said my drink was composed of matcha green tea powder + vanilla powder and sprinkled with some sea salt in top. Not a bad concoction! I'll definitely be back for more because my small cup was gone like the wind. I like how there's plenty of small square tables for two and a few round tables for 4+ seats. A plus that they have a small hallway that leads to his and her bathroom. Only downside of this place is that their electrical outlets are far and few so bring your laptops charged or portable chargers if you plan on staying here longer! Overall a decent find today and recommend everyone to stop by here!

Interior

This place stinks, literally. The sewage smell permeates the entire restaurant especially in the back near the bathrooms and kitchen. Despite the stench, the place appears clean and well decorated. The staff is friendly and seems to work hard. O feel bad for them needing to breathe that all day long. It's gross and probably bad for you. The berry bingsu came out quickly and was actually very good. The ice was nicely sweetened and the fruit was fresh and sweet. The ice cream, I suspect, came from the Costco freezer. I'm going to let you look at the picture and see if you see what we see. The berry waffle took a while but wasn't worth the wait. The waffle was kind of undercooked and had minimal flavor. The whole thing had too much whipped cream and a watery sweet sauce. It had the same ice cream as the bingsu. I may go back for the bingsu if they fix the ambiance and stench.

Our family loves Cocohodo!! We haven't been here for a minute now since we longer live near Sunnyvale. We love eating their walnut pastry. The adults loves the original which comes with red bean filling, and the kids loves the nutella flavor. So good..perfect bite!! We ordered the large bag which comes with 21 pieces, and it's always gone within a day. We also ordered the Mango Bingsu and it was so good!! Refreshing and delicious we devoured it. It was so good. Love how the service is quick and the staff are friendly. I love how there are plenty of place to sit on and enjoy your walnut pastry and Bingsu. They also serve coffee If you want.

We came here for some post dinner dessert on a hot day and it really hit the spot. The shaved ice was a manageable size! Normally they are just waaay too big. They had good flavor options and it tasted great! It was end of night so they didnt have many walnut pastry options left. But the ones we had were delicious. I would try to get there earlier in the day for fresh ones!

Spacious tea store, clean and nice. Service was fast. Staff is very nice to let me try a cocohodo because it's my first time.

Mango Shaved Ice
Chinmay S.

Nice cozy dessert place serving shaved ice and unique walnut shaped pastries with red beans, Nutella and other fillings. We had the Mango Bingsu. Pretty decent serving size although may not be commensurate for an almost $18 dessert. We enjoyed it but some pieces of mango were hard and lacked flavor. Overall, pretty good. Service was quick but TBH lacked warmth - probably because we came 20 mins before they closed for the day.

Elsie Y.

Friendly service and the berry bingsu was good. The waffle in the ice cream waffle item was undercooked and overpriced for the quality. There are plenty of tables and the space is modern. However, the foul sewage smell permeating this space makes dining here unbearable. They need an inspection to figure out the source, better ventilation, and an air filter.

Grain Latte
Jonathan L.

It has been a long while since I've dropped by this location. It's surprising because usually I'm in this plaza to shop @ the Korean grocery market. This time around I ordered the hot grain latte. It was cold outside so I figured something hot is good. The temperature was ok. It was more like between warm and actual hot. They also have these cool walnut shaped hotdog bites which I enjoyed very much. Long ago I remember trying the sweet version with red bean paste in it. But I find the hotdog one more delightful! It is also a nice place to be able to sit and have a chat with your friends and family. There are people but there wasn't super crowded or anything. I would definitely comeback again for all of the above. :)

Do these need to be refrigerated? Trying to see if I can take them on a plane back home to Hawaii

The red bean and Nutella ones definitely don't

Do they have wall outlets?

Yes. Lots of outlets there.

Does Cocohodo offer milk alternatives such as almond or coconut milk? Thanks,…

Yes, they have soy milk available! It costs a little extra, but the option is there.

Is this place quiet enough to have a relaxed conversation, even when it's busy?

Night is a bit more busy and a little more noisy but good enough for a conversation.

After randomly browsing Yelp and found this place, we happened to be nearby and I decided on an…read moreimpromptu visit on a Saturday afternoon. The place was situated in a quiet plaza just outside of Lawrence Expressway. There's ample parking but it doesn't feel like the location is suitable for a cafe where you can picture sitting inside looking through some big windows facing a busy pedestrian walkway. However, once I stepped inside, I was surprised at how zen and peaceful the decorations were and how fitting it was for a cozy and quiet cafe hangout. The cake shelf was surprisingly busy. And this is where I took one star out because the lines were confusing and the staff skipped me to talk to the group behind me while I was clearly the next to be helped. Luckily another staff member came out from the back kitchen and jumped in to help. The staff spoke fluent mandarin. I was interested in their box cakes. A few of the yelpers raved about their soy milk cake and luckily they had one out for sampling. It was covered with lots of cream and the cake layer was soft and moist, but it was still slightly too sweet for me and I felt that it lacked the tofu kind of soy flavor. Then, I spotted on their menu that they have a black sesame matcha box cake, and black sesame is always my favorite, so I asked for it. They had the last one left! The staff said she had never tried it so she couldn't tell me if it is less sweet than the soy milk cake. Since it was the last one available and I already sampled the soy cake, I decided to give it a try. I am happy that I did. The cake was filled with matcha mousse and tasted light and aromatic with the jasmine kind of matcha flavor. It is definitely less sweet. Unfortunately, it doesn't have as much black sesame as I'd like. But overall, the cake flavor is the kind that I like, subtle, moist, and not too sweet. $38 for a box cake of 4x4 is a bit pricey, but I'm glad that I gave it a try. The cakes were freshly made and tasted best the same day of purchase. They also recommend refrigerating the cake and consuming it within a day or two.

My review is based solely on the preorder and pickup experience for the seasonal persimmon…read moredesserts. I kept seeing posts about whaT's More cake's persimmon cakes, so I decided to give them a try. I preordered the persimmon molten cake and the persimmon crepe cake through their website. The online ordering process was smooth, and both cakes were ready right on time for pickup. Unfortunately, the persimmon molten cake was disappointing. While I appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet, it was very mild in flavor. It tasted more like a simple sponge cake with a persimmon filling in the center, and overall, it felt quite underwhelming. In contrast, the persimmon crepe cake was much better. Each layer had persimmon cream and jam, which gave it a stronger and more pronounced persimmon flavor without being overly sweet. Overall, it's a cute cake shop worth checking out if you're looking for unique flavors in the South Bay. Parking: Plenty of parking available in the lot.

I wished it had more toppings or something inside that was sweeter, but mostly it just tasted like chalky cocoa powder. Not very sweet and not in a good way. I usually wouldn't get this flavor and would get fruit so maybe that makes the difference. Was it the worst? No. The shave ice part was delicate and the portion was what you would expect. But I wouldn't attempt any chocolate ones again if I did come back here. It's lacking something. As for the inside, it's a spacious place with plenty of seating which is nice, although the music feels a little loud. The service is pretty straight forward here as you can order from a kiosk or up front, and there are screens that show which order number is finished around the restaurant. The bathroom was clean. Overall, wouldn't say it's bad but I'm not sure if I can recommend.

Incredible quality and ingredients…read more Delicious and perfectly sweet. None of that American style sweetness where you feel like syrup is jamming your throat.

Is Izumi matcha worth the hype?…read more I have been to Izumi matcha over ten times at this point and remember first trying it in their original location in the silver creek area of San Jose before the matcha boom. Prior this place was unique and delicious, and really hit a spot. I believe that now with the various matcha spots around, it may not have as much as of unique selling point. Their tornado matcha is good and sweet, and is a great dessert however in my personal opinion, their traditional drinks are not standouts. Last week I went with a friend and ordered a matcha oat latte with a double shot, and while I tasted the matcha, it was grainy and didn't really have any depth. I wouldn't say I would avoid going here, for a matcha option and to get caffeinated for the day. It is still an option but I feel like it wouldn't be fair to say it's worth driving over 30+ minutes here. As a note too, this location can get extremely busy in terms of parking! The plaza is popping with heavy hitters. Service was fine as they do the self service kiosk with pick up being less than 5 minutes (no big lines), and the store itself is small with no seating outside but plenty of plaza seating outside.
