    Simple delicious food for reasonable prices. I had the chicken wrap and salad for $12 and it was yummy. I added the salsa for $1.50 and it was worth it. The table by the front seems to be the only place for a stroller but considering how narrow the place is I am just glad it fit!

    This place has potential but is not quite doing it for me yet. This is unfortunate because their coffee and espresso are great but a few things are lacking:

    1. No wifi. I get that cafes don't want to attract laptop lurkers but they could set a limit if that is their concern. Why not fill up your cafe during the day when most people are at work anyway...?

    2. Flies. I took my mom there for brunch a while back and these flies just kept circling our table. Not fun when you are trying to enjoy your meal.

    3. Service. Yes, the staff is friendly. They might even be overly friendly. BUT, one of the owners (I think) tries to up-sell me all the time. Crazy for a coffee shop! I just want my coffee. If I want to have a cookie or come back for dinner, I will make that decision.

    That is really it for negatives. They have a nice back patio for the summer and one big bright table at the front of the cafe. Never tried their gelato but apparently it is homemade so that is a plus. Thus far, CocoaLatte is just A-OK.

    Great little find - fresh tasty food - quick and easy.  Friendly, personalized service.  Find their hours very strange and as a result have walked by many times only to find they aren't open.  Good little cafe to have on the strip and worth stopping in if you need a lite bite.  In the summer their back patio is cute....

    I love CocoaLatte! What a cute little cafe! What a cute name!

    Drop by for a Sunday lunch/brunch on a sunny day. The restaurant is quite busy but we have no problem to find a table either inside or outside at the patio.

    We order the Breakfast Burrito and a Tuna Sandwich Melt with Beet soup. The ingredients they used here are nice and fresh. You can even watch them preparing in their small open kitchen area.

    Though the portion is smaller but I think it is perfect for a nice quick meal without overeating. At least I feel like I have a healthy meal when I eat here.

    The Chai Latte and Cafe Lattee where both nicely made.. The only thing I don't understand why the Chai Latte is served in a paper cup and half of that is milk foam?

    The waitstaffs here are all so friendly and upbeat with such positive attitude.

    I will definitely be back and have a coffee when I am in the area!

    I met an out of town a friend here on Family Day monday so it was probably more crowded than usual. Despite my aversion for crowds I found the experience pleasant and would definitely return. My breakfast bagel was well-made and tasty; a good balance of egg, bacon, tomato and toast. I just wish it was bigger. My americano was also enjoyable but also wished it was a bit bigger.  Maybe I was just especially hungry that day.  

    A great addition to the neighbourhood.

    Good food quality and service.  Prices are very reasonable, likely they can do it because portions are small.  I got one piece of toast (ie. should be two) with my omelette.  Charged full price for a coffee refill, there should be one free refill if you are eating an "entree".
    I'd go back, but just keep the above in mind.

    A small rift in the lute, as P.G. Wodehouse would say.  I found CocoaLatte's basic breakfast unsatisfying.  Was there too little butter on the toast?  Was the breakfast too small?  Were the slices of chorizo simply not doing it for me?  Maybe it was all those things.  Nice and light, but not the experience I'm looking for on a lazy Saturday morning.

    I mean, there's no getting around it; the portions are small. There!  I said it!  The prices are still very reasonable, the food is fresh and lovely, if not overseasoned, and the service is wonderful.  However, you can drop in for a sandwich midafternoon without much worry about spoiling your dinner.  This is probably a good thing - big portions are unhealthy and can be downright gross.  However, it does feel a bit Spartan if I show up hungry.

    Still a lovely place!  I'm looking forward to dropping in for an afternoon snack and a cup soon.

    I've been here both for breakfast and lunch. They have a nice little patio out back where you can sit in the sun, and a four seater at the front of the restaurant where you can watch people walking by on St. Clair Ave. There are also some seats inside, but frankly, it's a little stuffy and loud.

    The service is always friendly, although it can be a bit slow. The food is delicious and fresh, just the right amount so that you're comfortably full, not stuffed and not still hungry.

    For the non-dairy folks, you can get lattes with soy milk. You can also get milkshakes made from their selection of gelatos, something I'm definitely going to have to try next time. Mango gelato and soy milkshake? I say yes!

    Great little place that has improved the neighbourhood after the St. Clair Ave. construction finally has finished. Well priced and delicious sandwiches and great coffee make this place pretty special. They also serve a small selection of gelato. Best thing is conbining gelato and coffee in one. If you live in the area you owe it to yourself to visit the nice people at CocoaLatte.
