Crema's Take

Nestled in Rice Village, this charming crepe and waffle spot punches way above its weight with an unexpectedly creative menu that ranges from French-inspired croques on impossibly soft brioche to savory waffles that feel both comforting and inventive. The rustic, cozy interior practically begs you to linger for hours over great coffee and pastries, making it ideal for unhurried conversations or catching up with friends. Between the playful anime references, thoughtful attention to quality ingredients, and willingness to customize beyond the menu, Coco creates the kind of welcoming, slightly-elevated casual dining experience that keeps people coming back.

This is a restaurant into a whole other world!!! (Yes, like the anime;) The food is like nothing I have ever experienced yet, familiar in the best ways, BUT BETTER!! Just amazing!! I am not a big person to picture food or post--like, ever-- but this was SO GOOD and the ladies there know exactly what to do and the atmosphere is calm and quiet. I almost don't want to tell because I want to keep this special place all to myself but PLEASE don't let this place disappear. They are amazing people and even more phenomenal food. Best money I've spent in years!!! I would pay $100 per plate for these crepes and paninis. Thank goodness it was under $20. And under $50 for a couple on a very fancy date night in it all the extras!! Love, Love, LOVE!!!

A bIt dark inside and the bathroom needs an upgrade but the sweet and savory options and the comfortable and rustic indoor seating area is perfect for catching up with a friend. We stayed for 3 hours and weren’t rushed out. You order at the counter first, get a number, and they will bring your food out to you. There is a free parking lot that fills up but clears out regularly also. Otherwise, rice village public and street parking are available. Food was solid and there are lots of brunch-y options. You can order any crepe at a “half size portion

Great coffee and crepe stop! What a selection. Delicious and fresh. Not on menu but ask for plain with lemon and sugar. French twist on Pancake day from England.

Croquet sandwich on the softest and biggest brioche bread was the best breakfast sandwich I've had in a long time. Maybe ever. We added an egg on top and it was delish! Changing the bread is an uncharted and adding an egg is an upcharge, but WELL worth it. Pumpkin spice latte was super delish! You can also order half orders of crepes which was great for us not wanting to waste any since we couldn't take any leftovers. We got the dulcet de Leche crepe with strawberries. At first, I was a bit disappointed that my bf picked that with strawberries, but it was surprisingly delicious! I bet every single thing on their menus is delicious. Highly recommend this place. The pictures don't do it justice. Also, this is a half order of crepes.

Coco is an excellent spot for brunch! I stopped by to try the apple crisp smoothie and an avocado waffle. The smoothie was delicious, almost like candy and very in season for fall! The savory waffle was amazing with fresh ingredients and an excellent combination of flavors. It was healthy and hit the spot! There are a few tables outside, which were really nice because it was very cold inside.
