The Cocoa Bean | Bakery, Drinks, Ice Cream

Normally when I want good baked goods I have to make 'em myself, but here tastes just like Mama's kitchen-homemade, fluffy, sweet-- AWESOME cupcakes.

Sarah is a very accommodating and kind barista. More than willing to help me decide on a drink, despite my incessant meandering and reticence. The drinks themselves are wonderful, and of the two times I've been here I found myself continunally impressed. My first drink, the Raspberry White Chocolate, was sweet and quite refreshing, but the plain Ghirardelli hot chocolate is much more my speed, with a wondeful bitterness that worked quite well with the rich, sweet chocolate taste. I will most certainly be returning :)

Terrible. Hot chocolate was barely warm and when I brought the drinks back I was told that she made them the temp she was allowed to make them and just shrugged. I told her they were barely warm and she shrugged again and said “there is nothing g I can do”. Shrugged again and turned away.Flavor would have been very good if warmer than tepid bath water. Ultimately it was the couldn’t care any less attitude. Basically, you paid already so not my problem. And this was after very very slow service lacking any efficiency.I had high hopes but will most likely never be back and will not recommend to anyone.Absolutely nothing redeeming in the whole experience. Would recommend avoiding.

Was genuinely surprised at how soft and delicious the cupcakes were, even at a late

Went here a lot back in college. Loved their Milky Way hot chocolate, pretty much any cupcake (but especially one that has chocolate cake, raspberry jam, chocolate ganache, cream cheese frosting, and a fresh raspberry on top), and their Passion Pit Italian soda. I don’t know how much their menu has changed since we moved from the area about four years ago, but I’m sure they’re still delicious!

The only things I’ve tried here is the drinks. I absolutely love the hazelnut cocoa frappe (you can order the hot drinks flavors and turn it cold or vice versa). I’ve also tried love potion. I love the Ghirardelli chocolate that they use! It’s the right sweetness and “darkness” haha I don’t know how to explain it.

Ugh..was so excited. Only ones in line and still waited 10 minutes for our drinks and ice cream brownies that looked to die for. Well the brownies were as hard as a rock someone legit could have died..very disappointed since I am a coffee and cookie addict. I would have been back but now feel I wasted 22.00..

Their ice cream is very good and I recommend anyone going to this place. They also have Cupcakes and Frappe which I hope to try next time.

I've lived in Rexburg most of my life, and this place has THE BEST ice cream around. Cupcakes were massive a long time ago, but they are still really good. If you are looking for a place to take a date, try Cocoa Bean for sure.

I think this is an underrated place in Rexburg. The Frappes are really good and does not have coffee if you are looking for that. Their hot chocolate is really good too. They have unique flavors compared to many other places that serve Hot Chocolate.

The ultimate brownie and raspberry cheese cake cupcakes are divine! And I looooove their fancy hot chocolates like that white raspberry!! Mmm if you have a sweet tooth this is the place to go!

I got a frappe and a sugar cookie. They were both amazing. I worked here as a baker 5-6 years ago and I'm amazed that the quality of the desserts hasn't changed. Everything is made fresh, from scratch and I remember only ever using brand products like Ghirardelli, Nutella, Torani and real butter. Their ice cream is custom made as well and has cake in it, seriously delicious! They also brew cocoa beans and put that in their chocolate drinks, it's amazing. If you're looking for something unique, I'd recommend you try that. I can't say enough food things about this place.

I personally believe this place is one of the hidden gems of Rexburg. They have so many different items to choose from, from cookies, to sodas, to drinks, to cupcakes, to ice cream, to cake pops! This place is wonderful and so many people are sleeping on it!

I miss the OG cocoa bean but this store is awesome too. Their ice cream is to absolutely die for, its a must try!

My milkshake was just melted ice cream-WAYYY too runny. I could have just microwaved a carton of ice cream to get that.
