Came back for the taiyakis, of course! We got all the sweet options again & this time, the sleeper hit for me was actually the red bean. The buy 5, get 1 free deal is still going. You have to wait a little bit bc they're freshly made but it's worth it. Ambiance & service are good. Plenty of parking available. 10/10 would recommend this place for a sweet treat!
We had read about this little shop even though it's relatively close to our home. We knew they had teas and rolled ice cream, but what drew us in was the taiyaki (fish shaped filled pastries). We opted for the more traditional red bean filling although they offer a variety of sweet and savory fillings. They appear to be a family-run operation and were a little busy when we stopped in but that's okay, we were not in a hurry. We also got a nice matcha lemonade. This is a cute little place and we'd love to stop in again.
OMG their rolled ice cream here at Salt N Cocoa is so amazing. Friendly people who work here and run it. And it's fun to watch them make the rolled ice cream too. They freeze it, mash it, flatten it, and roll it. Worth getting some just to watch them do it. But also for the taste. I got the banana Nutella and it was mmmmmm good. With fresh banana and everything. I loved it. I love everything about this place. Thank you!
Salt N Cocoa is located alongside barber shops, nail salons, and quick tailor shops in this fairly upscale strip mall. There are a few tables on the sidewalk, but today, the seven 4-tops inside are handling things well. They make ice cream filled pastries, but I had just eaten and only wanted WiFi and coffee for some writing. The cortado was made quickly and served immediately. It was thick, frothy and tasty, and my view out the window of the parking lot was sunny and therapeutic.
Great tasting BoBoa drinks, rolled ice cream, tayaki. Everything house made fresh upon order. Friendly staff and family business. The coffee ice cream is freshly pulled espresso shot mixed with cream. And the drinks you can replace cow milk with oat milk too. We haven't tried the soft serve but I'm sure they are good too. Many flavors to choose from.
We stopped here for dessert and was blown away by the variety of drinks and treats offered. We saw a variety of patrons here, with their kids, so we knew they were doing good business here. The menu ranges from coffee to boba tea, rolled ice cream, soft serve, and housemade fresh taiyaki. We ordered a couple drinks, an iced lavender cloud latte and dragonfruit lemonade. We also ordered a custard and Oreo cream cheese taiyaki and matcha rolled ice cream. The taiyaki was hot and fresh, soft, and the filling was not too sweet! The Oreo cream cheese tasted like a delightful Oreo truffle in a pancake. It was so good! The matcha ice cream was okay. It was very cold but the texture was a little on the flaky side. Otherwise, everything was delish and we enjoyed the vibes and variety.
Fabulously smooth soft serve with hot fudge sauce was divine. This is the medium size cup, and it's not just ice cream with some fudge sauce. She layered this baby with perfect ribbons of hot fudge, taking several minutes to create an ice cream dessert you won't forget! This place is a keeper! I haven't even scratched the surface because I cannot resist the soft serve! The rolled ice cream looked worthy of a celebration! The Tatakis beg for another visit. What a fun little place! Great service, exceptional desserts.
I came here with my family to try out their rolled ice cream and taiyaki, and we were not disappointed! We ordered their mango rolled ice cream, which was tasty and had a nice smooth consistency to it. I got a taiyaki stuffed with red bean - the dough was just the right texture of crispy and chewy and the amount of filling was perfect. The space is small but clean, the service was very friendly and prompt, and parking was easy.
I was very disappointed with the service my friend and I received today. As first-time visitors, we had a few questions, but one of the owners found my inquiry about the rolled ice cream versus soft serve amusing and laughed in my face. It felt extremely rude and unprofessional. That should have been my cue to leave. After finally getting clear answers, we placed our orders--I got the Oreo cookie soft serve in a small cup. The portion of cookie topping was a joke; they used a tiny teaspoon to sprinkle powdered Oreo dust on top of me cream (pictured), yet charged an extra 75 cents. My friend had the same experience with her order. The amount of crushed cookies was nowhere near what was advertised on their menu (also pictured). Between the poor customer service and lackluster product, it was not worth the money. I definitely won't be returning.
Clean, bright interior that's really nice to sit with a group of friends or study in. They have some crayons and paper for kids to doodle on, and it's super cute that they have drawings pinned up on the wall. The lady at the register was super nice (not just to me but everyone who came in). She said welcome and hi when I came in, smiled, was attentive, and her attitude literally made my day. I ordered taiyaki (one classic red bean and another blueberry cream cheese). It was cooked really well, the dough was perfect (not raw as it can sometimes come) and filling was delicious as well (not too sweet). What a gem, will definitely be back!!
Amazing as always! Customer service is great and the employee even offered to remake my Nutella taiyaki if it was too dark for my liking - which it wasn't. Their rolled ice cream combinations are tasty but the made to order taiyaki truly takes the cake. Nice and crispy on the outside that gives away to warm and gooey Nutella. It is smoking hot immediately but hard to wait, hence the vanilla ice cream! The space was nice and bright, clean, and welcoming. They have redone their seating to include a couch which is very comfortable and can comfortably seat different parties with space in between. Always a treat and can't wait to be back. read more

Relaxing visit with my aunts coffee, mango rolled ice cream and Kashmiri pink chai with pistachios. Soft soothing music and bright clean store. Some pastries available but we came for ice cream read more
This rolled ice cream and bubble tea place is a small strip mall joint. Ordering a green tea ice cream got me a strong, pure tea flavor, with some esoteric and interesting toppings, such as little mochi bits. It made for a dynamic flavor experience that maximized the value of thinly rolled ice cream. I didn't want a bubble tea on top of that, but I bet they're good. read more

Hubby and I came here after a nice dinner on a Saturday evening. We were both wanting something sweet so when searching on Yelp we came across Salt and Cocoa. Soooo glad we did! There was only one couple here. We told the young man behind the counter it was our first time so he explained the whole menu to us. I opted for the banana Nutella rolled ice cream with the red bean taiyaki. Hubby ordered the matcha rolled ice cream with custard taiyaki. Omg. These were amazing!! My ice cream was a sweet treat for my mouth. And that taiyaki was delish!! The red bean inside was hot while the fish shaped waffle was crispy and warm. The store was very cute with drawings from school children on the wall and colored stools and tables. Both ice cream roll ups and 2 taiyaki totaled up to almost $21. I'd love to come back again and try another roll up. This dessert was the topping on our date night! read more
A new option for rolled ice cream is now open in Durham: Salt n Cocoa at the Hope Valley Commons! This ice cream and coffee shop has only been open for a month but is dishing out some tasty, high quality rolled ice cream along with filled taiyaki (takes 10 minutes to make), very cool! I tried the mango rolled ice cream which was awesome and some hot from the oven, taiyaki (fish-shaped pastries) filled with red beans, deelish! Very unusual offering here in the Triangle, the family that owns Salt n Cocoa is from SF and trying something new here as a business. Cool spot, definitely worth a visit! read more

Salt N Cocoa is a hidden gem serving up cute desserts. We ordered the Red Bean Taiyaki and Matcha Rolled Ice Cream. The taiyaki was made-to-order and was filled with hot red bean filling. We were pleasantly surprised by the strong matcha flavor in our ice cream, which gave a nice earthy taste to our ice cream -- perfectly pairing it with the sweet taiyaki. The prices at Salt N Cocoa are also very reasonable! Salt N Cocoa definitely lives up to its high ratings and makes some great desserts in the Durham area. read more

I've been wanting to try the taiyaki at Salt N Cocoa for a while. I finally got a chance to today, and it exceeded expectations! My boyfriend and I got the Oreo cream cheese, red bean, and custard taiyakis, and all were a hit. The fillings weren't too sweet and the taiyakis were stuffed the the brim. The outer layer was satisfyingly both crispy and chewy. They were also priced very well. Moreover, the interior is cozy and clean, and the people preparing the food (the family that owns the cafe?) were quite friendly. This will definitely be a place we will be frequenting! read more

If you're looking for a TASTY treat, Salt n Cocoa is for you! Their taiyaki is fantastic...the fish-shaped waffle filled with your choice of custard, Nutella, Oreos and cream, blueberry and cream or red bean paste is unbeatable. If you buy 5 taiyaki. They give you a 6th one for free! The owners are so nice and work hard to make your treats as you order them. 10/10 would recommend Salt n Cocoa. read more
