Cute little patisserie shop in Santana Row. It's right next to Best Buy parking lot. On a good day it has nice chairs outside to sit as well. Service was good. I have only had the banana hot chocolate l which was quite nice and sweet. They have one vegan option which is the chocolate hazelnut pastry. It looked so good hoping to try it sometime in the future. read more

Cocola Bakery - Strawberry croissant - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

I've been to Cocola several times and always enjoy the pastries and coffee. I have tried different flavored croissants, all of which were delicious! The pistachio croissant is my favorite! The coffee is such good quality, my favorite being the Mocha Bianca. There is an abundance of cake slices and whole cake options as well. The options are so well designed with lots of detail in every slice. There is outdoor seating behind the bakery and staff are extremely friendly. I really enjoy stopping by Cocola in the mornings and highly recommend checking then out! read more

I visited Cocola Bakery on Sunday, 11/5/23, in the evening time. I wasn't able to try any of the baked items during this visit. However, I opted for the Cookies & Cream - Organic Ice Cream. The ice cream was so delicious and tasty! I loved how it was freshly made in-house. I even kept the cute container. I will be returning to this bakery to try more things. read more

Decent bakery in the Row. It's usually always busy. I found it to be subpar every time I went and tried something new. This time I got the mango passionfruit Bamboo mousse dessert which was pretty good. I don't love the drinks here for some reason. Also tried the chocolate croissant which had wayyyyy too much chocolate cream inside that it weighted it down. Cute place to grab desserts or a coffee while shopping, but gets way too packed inside. Limited seating inside, most of the seating is outside. read more

This is a cute looking bakery in Santana Row, next to Straits Restaurant. They have some savory options I didn't try. They mostly have pastries out. We came to this spot after dinner because it is open until 11 pm (and until 12 am on fridays and saturdays!) which is a big pro when so much closes early nowadays. - I had their take on a pumpkin pie, which included a vanilla bean ganache layer on top as well as a chocolate crust. It wasn't bad by any means but I feel like it wasn't anything special, especially for the prices of these desserts. The crust was especially firm and could have been softer. I feel like it could be because we got our desserts near closing time and they'd been out all day. the pumpkin part of the pie also lacked some flavor- i feel like Costco's pumpkin pie has a little more flavor than this. the vanilla ganache layer was delicious though. - my mother had a mango dessert which i tried- it was better. Service: Our items didn't need to be prepared, so they came fast. Nice staff. Ambiance: Nice setup, clear view of pastries, seating was a bit crowded but Santana Row always has crowds- so this wasn't really a detractor for me. I definitely want to try a different pastry from here someday, but overall, I feel like the pastries here aren't super special. If i was to come here again, I would come earlier to see if the quality is better. read more

I've been to this bakery twice, and both times the experience was so shockingly bad that I feel obligated to finally speak up. The manager here ( wearing glasses) is consistently rude, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. She has twice forced my group to get up and move from a table that we had every right to sit at. We were not blocking anything, not causing trouble, and the table was placed there by the bakery. If customers aren't allowed to sit there, then don't put a table there. Instead of addressing us politely, she yelled at us in front of everyone, saying "your group needs to move, you're blocking the way," when we absolutely were not. The tone she used was hostile and unnecessary. What makes this even worse is that this is not the first time she has treated us like this. A couple months ago, she did the exact same thing to my mom, who is handicapped. She made her move from the same spot--yet the group before us sat there without any issue. The double standard is impossible to ignore, and honestly it felt discriminatory. I never left a review back then because I hoped it was just a bad day. But today, coming back with a group of friends, she behaved the exact same way again. Same attitude, same rudeness, same disrespect. Clearly, this is how she chooses to treat customers. No business should allow a manager to speak to people like this. It's rude, it's unwelcoming, and it shows zero regard for customer service. After being treated this way multiple times, I can confidently say that we will not be returning--and I hope future customers are aware of how poorly people can be treated here. read more

Everything here is amazing. We walked in and were immediately greeted and asked if we'd like anything from the pastry case. They had so much we took a while, but they were very patient with us. I ordered the eye of the tiger and then a banana mocha to go along with it. After ordering, even though it was a little bit chilly and early in the morning, we enjoyed the outdoor . I loved the pastry it was like a soft sponge almond cake with a delicious chocolate center. The banana mocha was also delicious. She could taste the bananas and the chocolate and the coffee, which I appreciate when you could taste all the flavors in a coffee drink. read more

I ordered 3 mini cakes for pickup a few days ago and everything went smoothly. They don't put glue or anything sticky at the bottom so all the desserts shifted around slightly as I was walking back but it wasn't too bad. My caramel chocolate mousse didn't really come with any roasted cocoa nibs on top - maybe they ran out? All of the flavors were spot on and accurate to what's listed on the website - they were all delicious! read more

We ordered the caramel chocolate mousse cake and it was delicious! The caramel is tasted in every bite and has a good balance with the chocolate mousse and breading as the bottom layer. We also ordered a chamomile lemon tea. The service was efficient and the staff were friendly! The space has a lot of natural lighting, and perfect to enjoy some tea/coffee with a delicious dessert or pastry! read more

Cute spot. Definitely a treat yourself sort of place. I came for the strawberry croissant but they didn't have it so I settled for the strawberry cake. It was lovely. I felt like I was in a little French cafe. It was yummy, light and indulgent. If I ever return to San Jose, I will look for the strawberry croissant:) read more

If you're in Santana Row and looking for something sweet after dinner, this is a great place! My dad has been buying me the chocolate muffins from here ever since I was a toddler. The ham and cheese sandwich is also super good for lunch or a quick snack! Came here Saturday night after having dinner at yard house and got a few desserts! The passion fruit cake was so tasty and refreshing. Definitely had great flavor. The chocolate mouse was also really good and loved the different layers / types of chocolate in it. The hot cocoa was also super cute!! They made adorable designs in them!! Love this place and will continue to frequent here. The service is decent and love how late it stays open! read more

At Cocola I got the Rouge slice of cake. The Rouge cake felt very soft and light. The cake was delicious. I loved how it didn't taste too sugary, but still had great flavor. It tasted very balanced when it came to sweetness and flavor. The service was excellent. The worker was very polite. The inside is beautiful! The decor and the theme is amazing! I would definitely recommend!! read more

This place has really gone downhill. Ordered a bottled water for 2.98 and a sparkling water for 4.30. was told that my drinks would be ready on the right side. Waited 5 minutes and wondered how difficult it was to pull two cold drinks from their refrigerator. Clearly more difficult then I realized so I had to ask the cashier to do me a favor and get me my drinks. They make the same pastries they made 10 years ago....I'm surprised they have a place in the mall as well. Just a matter of time before they bite the dust. read more

Great for macarons and patisserie items! Open till late for an after dinner dessert and croissants are good too.

Super cute and aesthetic cafe! I got the almond, strawberry, and chocolate croissant, the Rogue and the banana hot chocolate. Unfortunately, the banana hot chocolate just tasted like regular chocolate which was disappointing. I really like the almond croissant but the chocolate one is ok. read more

Very nice and sweet place in the heart of Santana Row! It was my first time discovering this place. The first thing I've noticed is the facade as it's a French designed cafe. When I came there was no line, but 10 minutes later it got very busy. The staff was friendly and super fast. I had cappuccino and 3 layer chocolate mousse together with cheesecake passion. It was delicious! As a chocolate lover I loved chocolate mousse better - not too sweet, and the texture is soft. You can sit inside (the siting places are limited though) or find a table outside and enjoy the busy street with people passing by. The design is very European. I love tables and chairs - very authentic! Overall it's a bit pricey, but together with delicious desserts and good coffee you get the unique experience and it's worth the price. ! They accept different kinds of payment except amex. read more

Normally, my family and I are loyal customers of Cocola, but last Thursday's experience was absolutely unacceptable. My mother placed an order that included the Vanilla Milkshake Tart--recommended by one of the staff. On the way home, she opened the package--only to discover that she was given the wrong dessert. Regardless she hasn't had a bad dessert experience from Cocola, and hungry so she took a bite and after another bite, she was forced to spit it out as she began feeling unwell. When we opened the box, and looked online, we found that she had been given the Le Sultan cake, which contains hazelnuts--an ingredient she is severely allergic to. This is not a small oversight; this is a dangerous and negligent mistake that could have resulted in a trip to the hospital, or worse. Food establishments have a legal and moral responsibility to handle orders carefully, especially where allergens are concerned. Cocola completely failed in that duty. What made this situation even more appalling was the response when we called to report it. We were met with indifference, no manager was available, and the only "solutions" offered were for my mother to drive all the way back while actively struggling to breathe or to leave a review online. That level of disregard for a customer's health and safety is outrageous. I have also called multiple times since then and I keep being directed to a voicemail instead of being able to speak with management This experience was not just disappointing--it was reckless and unsafe. Cocola needs to take immediate responsibility, retrain staff, and implement serious safeguards. Until then, I cannot in good conscience recommend this establishment to anyone, especially those with food allergies. read more

After hours past 10pm on a Friday is hard to find a decent place for a coffee and dessert. We were close by proximity in Santa Clara and saw that this location was open till 12am. Santana Row is a large place but were able to park by Olin and walk to this location. It was open and had a few tables available. We had ordered a few pastries and a few Coffees at the Coffee bar. My Lemon Tart was the perfect balance of tartness and not too sweet. My Almond milk latte was also at a perfect temperature. The people were super friendly and helpful. We wound up getting a few desserts to go and a Ham and Cheese croissant. We actually had the HC croissant the next day and it was still flakey and very good. It was a perfect place to end the evening with a little sweet and not too potent coffee evening night cap. read more

After years of going to the row I finally stopped to by pastries to take home. I chose the strawberry croissant, elephant ears, and a lemon scone. The lemon scone was way too crumbly and fell apart which I think means had too much butter. It also had an artificial aftertaste. Husband had the strawberry croissant and he said he never had anything like it. It had a strawberry filling woven in and inside the croissant, but it wasn't a lot and was only in the center. The elephant ear was huge, larger than a traditional palmier or a Mexican pan dulce 'oreja'. The layers of phyllo were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. I didn't try the coffee but as the only pastry shop on the row, I see why it is popular. Are they the best? No, but location is everything when a sugar craving hits! read more

Been coming here for YEARS, most often with a large group of friends. There are two managers, and either/or is always there. They are both incredibly rude and unprofessional. Seems like every time we're there one of the two is aggressively speaking to customers. If customers are sitting down at a table to try and decide what they want to order, or if part of families/groups are at a table while their friends/relatives are in line ordering drinks/desserts, one of the two managers always seem to come out and yell at the customers for not having drinks in front of them. SHAME SHAME SHAME Cocola...your store is in SR, your products are not cheap, so please refrain from hiring staff that is both accusatory to and unprofessional with customers. read more

We ordered a lemon tart and caramel chocolate mousse - so delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. Their coffee is great too!

I was taking a quick trip to Santana Row around late afternoon while waiting for my partner's haircut appointment to be done and I came across this place after getting my coffee. I just wanted a quick snack since I didn't have anything in my stomach and this place had delicious goodies while I was on the way out! Although the prices were on a bit out of my budget, I can tell that the quality of their pastries are worth the price. I decided to get a cream cheese croissant because I wanted something simple and dense. This was definitely the softest croissant I've had that came with a center filling! I was afraid that it would be too crunchy or dry for my liking, but that was not the case. After coming across this place many many times being in santana row, I'm confident that I will come back and try their other delicious pastries. read more

Recently went back and tried their Rouge cake which was great! But pretty pricey for the portion. It had a thin layer of cake that's similar to lady finger topped with a thin layer of meringue. The thickest layer was the yummy yummy cream around the fresh strawberries. This is the best item I've had here. Also, tried the pineapple Danish with coconut cream. Was also good. The regular apple tart was just ok. read more

This feels like one of the establishments at Santana Row that has still been there after many years. I give a 4 star rating because I don't consider it exceptional, but it is good enough to be going back. One plus (or maybe a minus for some) is that they allow dogs inside ! So that was fun to bring my family's dog in today. The servers seem pretty efficient in moving the line along. There is not much indoor seating, but there is plenty of outdoor seating. I personally really like their outdoor seating furntiure, as it gives me the 'en terrasse' vibes in France. It's been a while since I have actually purchased more of their pastries, but this morning I got a keto bite, which was small but $6. It tasted okay, but I wish I would have asked them to heat it up. Their chai drink is not anything notable, either. It also feels a bit crowded during the weekends, as this place is very popular. I think it could be fun to go one day on a weekday morning when there might be less people and order a drink 'sur place', as well as a pastry that is warmed. read more
