Chococoa Baking Co. & Cafe

I fell in love with the little whoopie pies that Chococoa specializes in 16 years ago when they opened. They are the perfect size! We were delighted to offer them as dessert at our wedding - a classic New England treat, but elevated - dense chocolaty cake with buttercream filling. The owners care about their customers, employees, service and products. Beyond the whoopie, baked offerings and drinks vary seasonally and always provide a twist on something classic - like their new gingerbread with salted caramel whipped cream. A great stop for a pick me up while in the Tannery, and there's always something you will want to bring home.

They offer a wide variety of whoopie pies, and they're on the smaller side which makes it easier to try more flavors! I got salted caramel, espresso, and coconut cream - they were all delicious in their own ways! I can't wait to go back and try more!!!

A great place in the heart of NBPT. My iced mocha was expertly crafted and delicious. There were many gluten free options for my wife. The croissant I ate was made in France! Not the freshest I've had, but still tasty. The whoopie pies are absolutely addicting! I've included several photos of the place to help you get an idea of what to expect. The free parking lot was a bonus for the area.

My girlfriend and I came to Newburyport from boston for her birthday day trip. We ended up at Chococoa because it looked like the most promising pastry shop in the area and we were right! Amazing atmosphere and unique seating. Great location alongside the bookstore and children’s store. And the food was delicious. We 4 whoopie pies to try (red velvet, some kind of lemony one, a maple one, and an OG). They were all delicious but I think the red velvet and lemon shone for me. We also got a chocolate croissant and cinnamon roll and our server offered to warm them up: right choice, delicious! The cinnamon roll was so good and has that glaze that’s almost lemon like. The croissants dough is apparently flown in frozen from France and then baked in shop everyday. Amazing, fair prices for the quality. Our server was very kind. I would come back for sure!

Julie the owner saw me struggling on the stairs (I didn’t realize there was another entrance) and offered to bring up my order. I thanked her but told her I didn’t know what I wanted, so I would need to look. When I got to the bottom the formerly empty dining area filled and I didn’t have my walker so I didn’t want to get bumped. I waited. The shop just kept emptying and refilling. Julie came out of the kitchen a few minutes later and saw me sitting. She asked if I had been helped. I told her I had not. She asked what I wanted and I told her the passionfruit whoopie pie and she rung me up and even gave me an extra. I felt so seen and cared for, and wanted to leave her a review to let her know how much that meant, but then I also took a bite out of the Whoopie pie and was blown away! This is HANDS DOWN the best whoopie pie I’ve ever tasted! The flavor is rich and deep and the ratio of filling to cake is just right. Thank you Julie!!! I will be back!!!
