Coco Bistro & Bar

I found CoCo when looking for Vegan options before arriving in town. This restuarant did not disappoint! Everything was exceptional! Staff was friendly and professional, restuarant was clean as well as the restroom. The food was so good we returned for breakfast before leaving North Carolina! I definitely recommend!

I’ve been a huge fan of Coco for about three years now, and it just makes me so HAPPY knowing there is a place in Chapel Hill doing everything they are doing!! When I first started coming here, I thought it was simply a beautiful contemporary spot with amazing food and a few vegan options. And it is all of those things, but I had no idea the entire menu was completely plant based until years later. As someone who is vegan, that was the best surprise ever! The food is seriously delicious, it is good for you, and it takes less from the planet. There is something really special about eating here and knowing you are supporting a bigger mission without even trying :) A lot of that comes from the owners, Steve and Tamara Lackey. They care so deeply about the community, the environment, and the people who walk through their doors. You can feel their values in everything, from the way they source their food to the way they treat people with genuine kindness. Coco is one of the only restaurants I know that manages to be family owned, sustainable, health forward, beautiful inside, and still have the kindest and most welcoming staff. It is truly such a rare combination! And you do not even have to be vegan to love it 😅 Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner. I always tell people Coco is like four restaurants in one because each menu has its own vibe and flavors. With all that said, thank you Coco for everything you bring to this community. I recommend this place to everyone!!

As a former vegan food blogger who has tried so many vegan restaurants, this place is ONE OF THE BEST brunch places I’ve ever been to!! Non-vegans couldn’t tell that their egg was plant-based! The food was divine and I highly recommend to anyone! Can’t wait to come back and try the other menu items.

My husband and I stopped in for a quick bite and loved it. I had the blueberry scone latte and the whipped feta & fig toast. I would love to come back and try more of the menu!

The decor is very modern and clean, and the servers are very polite. However, the menus are often inaccurate, the food can feel very mediocre and the servers aren't completely informed about ingredients, or the sanctuary that own the restaurant. The menus containing mistakes is the biggest problem. It can be misleading or confusing when the title says one thing and you receive another, or when the description doesn't match the title. Overall though, it is an interesting spot. As a vegan, it's nice to have a whole menu to myself. I'm keeping hope, as I haven't experienced any of the dinner items or what this restaurant is like at night. Maybe it's different from the brunch experience.
