Bidra med feedbackWe hired Cocoa Fig to cater desserts at our wedding. We had a series of mini desserts and a small cake. The desserts were delivered and set up by Cocoa Fig staff in a beautiful spread. The cake design perfectly matched the photo we sent in and the strawberry champagne flavor was one of the best tasting cakes we ever had. The mini desserts were a huge hit at the wedding. We ordered the recommended amount based on the amount of people we had at the wedding and the entire table was cleared out by the end of the night which shows how much people enjoyed them. They were very easy to work with and accommodating when our wedding had to be rescheduled during Covid. We would highly recommend!
The other reviews basically summarize it up perfectly. You come here for the macarons! I have been here many, many times over the past 8-9 years and one thing is for certain: they make macaron magic. I've had macarons from other bakeries like Byerly's etc., and they are all garbage compared to these. The cupcakes are hit or miss. When they're moist or fresh they're really really good, but 50% or more of the time they're dry. And with how competitively priced the place is, it's not worth the gamble. Plus the selection is always small compared to other cupcake bakeries. That being said though, their doppleganger Hostess cupcake was amazing the one time I was lucky enough to find one. The cake pops are gross, but to be fair I think all cake pops are gross. The gluten free cake is super yummy. It's basically a pile of fudge. Also, the cookies are delicious. However, they're not any better than other good cookies. But what does it matter? You don't come here for cupcakes and the other stuff, you come here for macarons! Even if they are $2 for just one. They are exquisite every single time. Some of their flavors are constant and always available while others are temporary/specialty. Salted Caramel and Pistachio are my personal gotos of their regular flavors. But my absolute favorite is a specialty one that's not always available: Lemon Blueberry. I don't even like lemony treats usually. It is to die for. Tip, eat them same day for best texture and taste, and the colder the better without actually freezing them. I basically pop them in the fridge for a few hours when I get home. The ones that made it through the car ride anyhow without me eating them.
Wish I would have got a better photo of the cake, the manager/owner ? Was very nice and helpful in finalizing my order and payment.. she helped me order for a co-workers last minute event. I would order from here again! They have a store with food, but for orders like cakes and strawberries, you need to order 48hr before. The cake was delicious! And strawberries stayed fresh!
Cocoa and Fig was a great vendor to work with for our wedding dessert needs. My wife and I wanted cupcakes for our wedding and tried 6 different vendors prior to going with Cocoa Fig. We decided to go with Cocoa and Fig due to high quality cupcakes, amazing classic and unique flavor profiles, and supporting a local business. Joe, the owner, brought us in for a personal tasting where we were able to sample and learn more about the process of making and transporting these wonderful cupcakes. We were sold and had a hard time deciding on which flavors to choose! Also, we had to make a last second change to the delivery location of the cupcakes. Joe got back to us promptly the day of the wedding to make sure the cupcakes made it to the right place. We highly recommend Cocoa and Fig as your dessert vendor for a wedding or get together big or small.
If I had to choose between this location and their primary location by Southdale mall, I would choose the other no doubt. This location has a much smaller selection and the staff is not near as welcoming or friendly. However, the products they do carry are delicious and you can taste the quality in every bite. With going to if you’re having a craving for a macaroon and can’t get out of downtown!
