Cocola Bakery - San Jose

Better prices than Starbucks- so go here instead for your coffee/desert fix. I like the iced mocha and Raspberry Chocolate Mousse cake. Forget the apple turnover, over priced and I can make you one. Fresh.

My guilty pleasure after shopping at santana row!! The cakes are beautiful and tasty…But the things I love the most there are the pastries! Creme Feuillette, Chocolate Brioche, napolean slices, and almond croissants (with custard inside! are a few of my favorites there. I usually buy the pastries to-go and will heat it up very briefly later on in the toaster oven, it’s the best!! Oh, and their sandwiches are very good too. There’s always a line on weekends, it moves fairly quickly but there is always that ONE customer who has questions about every single piece of cake. As far as beverages, I always thought their coffee is JUST OKAY. I don’t usually order tea there because I don’t think it’s worth 2 dollars for a cup of hot water and a tea bag.

I really enjoy this restaurant. The prices are actually reasonable for the quality of food you get, especially compared to the high costs of other places at Santana Row. If you’re in the area, you should definitely check it out!

As the previous reviewer mentioned, the prices here are quite reasonable, especially considering the overall high costs at Santana Row. The small cakes are around $4 each and are about the size of a two-inch round cake. The desserts are enjoyable, but they don’t give me that “OMG!!!!” feeling when I eat them. I think they could use a bit more flavor; every cake seems to have a similar taste of whipped cream and cake. However, they do look beautiful, especially the yin/yang shaped green tea cake. Perhaps their other baked goods are better than the cakes.

This is likely the best chocolate croissant I've ever tasted. The location is fantastic, right on Santana Row, where you can enjoy the sight of some impressive cars passing by. Honestly, there are some stunning vehicles that come out at night. The only reason I can't give this place five stars is that I'm not much of a coffee or cake fan.
