Came inside on a cold windy night for some hot drinks and a dessert, and it hit the spot perfectly. I got a great recommendation for an herbal tea with mint chamomile and rose petals, and my son got a hot chocolate wish it was rich and delicious….and the freshly baked warm homemade chocolate chip cookies were divine.

Came in on a cold winter day hoping to get warmed up by some delicious cocoa.

Before we ordered, we received a few odd looks from the servers that made us wonder “are we doing something wrong?” Service was overall unfriendly (as other reviewers have stated) I try to be overtly polite and jolly in cafes, and I felt like they were annoyed by the presence of a customer.

We order a Mayan Magic with espresso and a “rock the casbah” which is cocoa with 18 morrocan spices. They were out of the latter so we got two Mayan Magics with espresso. The drinks were delicious, but the whole time we wondered “does this even have espresso in it?” We were charged but didn’t taste it nor feel any caffeination afterwards. We were afraid to ask because they had been unfriendly.

Last note—the ambiance leaves much to be desired. Uncomfortable seating and super echo-y

Did love the music though.

Nice little place! Everyone there is super sweet and makes great drinks, the hazelnut latte is the best I've had! The chocolate is all phenomenal and fairly priced for the quality.

Really big fan! Definitely a chocolate lover’s go to place. I always recommend this as a stop to people in the old town and Lincoln park areas. I like perusing the chocolates to see if there’s anything in stock. Plus, as you can imagine, the hot chocolates are 🔥🔥🔥

Overall, the café provided a welcoming and a well-lit vibe. The pistachio iced latte was enjoyable and had the right amount of sweetness.

Cocoa + Co is a chocolate lovers dream come true! I can always count on their milk chocolate turtles and ultimate chocolate chip cookies for a decadant and delicious 😋 experience. I wish I knew where they source the pecans because I've never tasted better. It's especially nice to stop in the winter for a cozy cup of cocoa. The only thing that could make this place better is an assortment of white chocolate. I always have to make my own white chocolate cocoa and import white almond bark from Italy. When white chocolate is offered here, it's seasonal and topped in candy came flavor, which ruins the experience for me. The staff is always warm and welcoming even during the holiday rush. They have indoor solo and group seating. Parking on the street here is hard to come by, but there are parking garages nearby.

I work in the neighborhood. Proximity makes it easy. The baristas are a joy to visit. A quirky team but fun to chat with. Drop by, say hi, get coffee and pastries and chocolate. Quality cocoa. It's in the name. You can't beat it. Enjoy!
