Cocola Bakery - Delightful Bakery & Cafe in Redwood City, CA

Tasty baked goods and sandwiches but a little on the pricey side for me, so I only go occasionally.

I randomly found this place while looking for breakfast near my work. Everyone seemed to rave about the strawberry croissant. I was a little hesitant because of the price. I think it's like $8? I figured it's Friday, and we all deserved a treat. The place was a little hard to find, but Google Maps got me there. The parking was a little confusing because it's situated between businesses, and nothing was clearly marked. I walked in, and the place wasn't too big. They had 2 display cases in an L shape. It kind of worked in my favor because everything looked so good. I wanted it all . I did well and purchased the strawberry croissants, pineapple coconut pastry, and biscotti. only. I did see a huge double chocolate cookie, but I figured I'd save it for next time. The gentleman who took my order was super nice and patient with me. It looked like they had a seating area, maybe for lunch? I'm not too sure if it was part of the bakery or something else. 1. Strawberry croissant - This is so pretty. It had the pink stripes that people mentioned. It was crisp on the outside, but once you bite it, and you hear angels singing,"Aahhh" . I didn't know what to expect but I had to take another bite to figure out what I was tasting. It was flaky and the filling, I knew it was strawberry but it tasted like so much more. I felt like it was passion fruit or guava with how creamy smooth it was. This was definitely worth it. I did not share mine, I just wanted to savor each bite. 2. Pineapple coconut pastry - Crispy snap when you bite into it. You can taste the fresh bits of pineapple and hint of coconut. 3. Biscotti - This was fresh and you can taste the almond and chocolate. This goes perfect with coffee or tea. I can't wait to come back and try the cheese danish.

Great option near my workplace. Tempting bakery treats and solid cafe menu. Love their croissants! Friendly service. Plenty of indoor seating with a few small tables outside. Limited parking.

I stopped by for a pastry and ordered a chocolate croissant. There was a good variety of pastries and desserts. It was flaky and crunch on the outside. There was a chocolate cream in the middle which wasn't super sweet and had a nice chocolate flavor. The service was quick and the worker was friendly. There was more seating indoors than outside. There's also a station for water, utensils, and sugar. I definitely want to come back to try their strawberry croissants and their other desserts.

I find myself thinking about the strawberry croissant often but I've also become intrigued to try the others! I've recently become a big fan of chocolate and today the chocolate croissant was calling my name. Fantastic crispy chocolate lamination and it is filled with the creamiest chocolate custard and a sliver of solid chocolate. This is another "must get" item! I love a good cream cheese croissant. Super flaky and crispy, with a creamy center! The glaze is a bit sweeter for my liking but still a favorite.

We visited from the Central Valley I always take the time to find places I am glad I found this place! I must say it was a wonderful experience! I was able to sit outside with the pups! It was a really relaxing vibe! I will return when I am back in town! The hydrangeas added such a beauty to it the outdoor tables were the cutest things I've seen! We had the strawberry and chocolate croissant! The service, pastries, iced latte, and cappuccino were excellent! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

This bakery is a short walk away from my office. It's open really early and is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or to grab a coffee. The employees are extremely nice and my favorite baked goods currently is their quiche. They're massive! Parking is a bit hard sometimes so be prepared.

Best bakery in the Bay Area!!! Love love everything and it's easy to order online and then pick up . I highly recommend them!
