Reviews for Coco Espresso, Bistro & Bar in Chapel Hill, NC
Beautiful space, delicious food, but minuscule portions and very pricey. The space is truly beautiful and we love the... atmosphere. The good: The food itself was delicious and even our non-plant-based friends loved the flavors. And while the staffwas slow to give us our orders, they were friendly. The bad: everyone in our party of six agreed that we could have easilyeaten twice to three times the amount of food we were given. The bowls that we got were not even half full. Some of us ordered asecond lunch and those of us who didn’t, left hungry to the point where we made another lunch at home. We’re notparticularly big eaters but truly the portions were that small. In all fairness, maybe that day they didn’t have enoughingredients and so they spread them amongst us? In addition, everything was pricey. But I think it would not have bothered ustoo much if the portions had been normal portions. I think I would come back for a drink and snack, but not for lunch. Maybebreakfast is better, or maybe dinner offers better portions that relate a bit more to the price. Read more
Went here for breakfast today and was pleasantly surprised. We had the samoa cookie latte, blueberry scone latte, bagel... breakfast sandwich, and the chipotle breakfast sandwich. The lattes were delicious and not overly sweet! The sandwiches wereexcellent as well. Will be back! Read more
Atmosphere is great, staff is friendly, lots of food options! Lots of students and the seating is kinda crammed together. I... ordered a matcha latte which was a really bad “matcha mix” kinda thing. If you know, you know. Wouldn’t recommend. Alsoordered a “wild mushroom and arugula toast” which was yummy, but pathetic for $12-$13 price point. $3 side of fries wasgood though Overall a nice place to come and do work but I wouldn’t go there for the drinks / food Read more
So thrilled to have discovered this gem on my recent trip to Chapel Hill. I found my happy place. ???? As a gluten-free vegan,... a way of life that has now offered me great relief from arthritic pain and inflammation, I finally walked into a beautiful,inviting space where my food was mainstream! I felt so validated and excited. The menu was appetizing no matter what your foodpreferences were. Bravo Coco ?????????????????? Thank you! Read more
Highly recommend this place for breakfast carryout. I've been here a few times and it has always been absolutely delicious. I... grew up vegan in the 1980s so I know a thing or two about plant-based eating. I had the Smoky Chipotle Bacon & Egg sandwich andit could not have been better with real meat or otherwise. I also got a side of fresh fruit which was generous and actuallyfresh. I saw a review that was less than stellar and sympathize with the poster. Hopefully that was just an off day. I will beback.

absolutely incredible plant based food and coffee! so happy to have this option around chapel hill. the food was BOMB ???? they... have a ton of food and milk options. (they don’t have cow’s milk; i see people complaining about this, but it’s really notnecessary for a good cup of coffee). definitely going to be repeat customers. Read more
This BEAUTIFUL cafe just opened in The Gwendolyn office building, off 15-501. The coffee and drink offerings are extensive,... from brown sugar cinnamon lattes to Mexican spiced hot chocolate, housemade shakes to cortados (equal parts espresso and warmmilk). And soon, a wine and spirits bar will be added for evening enjoyment. Its vegan-friendly menu includes pastries(muffins, cookies, breads) and assorted milks (almond, macadamia, coconut, soy, cashew), with plans to include full menu itemsin the coming weeks. I love the floor-to-ceiling windows that let in ample natural light, and the hanging plants that add a POPof green and make the eatery smell like a caffeinated forest, :-). I think an entire wall folds back, too, allowing a screenedin breeze to filter through. This will be so awesome come Spring. There is ample seating -- inside and outside -- to safelygather with others while social distancing. The outdoor tables each have their own umbrellas and overlook the historic GlenLennox neighborhood. Also, great customer service! The team explained unique menu items, like hot mushroom lattes, and shareda few of their favorites, as well. Read more
Coco is a comfy, spacious place to go on a cold day! We got hot cocoas but were surprised to learn that they don’t sell any... dairy, so there’s no milk! We had to get soy milk. We got 12 ounce Cocoas and our total was about $10. I recommend offeringmilk to people who want it. I like the ambience, but it’s unfortunate that they only offer vegan products. Read more
