Cocoa Cinnamon

I had a very relaxing time here. I ordered an Al Mokha, a pleasing riff on a standard mocha with better-quality chocolate and a bit of cinnamon, and some churros, which are always made fresh and are always fantastic! There is no indoor seating at this location right now, and the outdoor seating does not have shelter from the weather, so if the weather's bad, expect to enjoy your delicious treat in the car. Staff is always friendly and well-informed.

I had not been to Cocoa Cinnamon since before the pandemic began, but when I visited recently, it was just as good as I remember! The indoor seating area is not open, but there is a small outdoor seating area. I went to the Lakewood location on a Saturday during the early afternoon. There was a bit of a wait due to the line inside so I would recommend you ordering online via their website if you would rather not wait. One thing to note is that when you place your order inside, they automatically add a tip to your order no matter the size of the order. The Lakewood location also has a small parking lot, which I really appreciated. I ordered the Caramelo, which was very good! It was just sweet enough (not too sweet) and very rich in flavor. The design was a nice touch as well :-) If you are looking for a conveniently located coffee shop with dessert options, delicious coffee drinks, and outdoor seating, this is it! Whether you are looking for a spot to people watch while you enjoy coffee, spend some time in solitude with a good book, or fellowship with a small group of people, Cocoa Cinnamon is where it's at! I look forward to visiting again before winter.

First of all, the coffee is pretty good, nothing spectacular. The chocolate croissant was mediocre at best. Now for the bad news: no indoor seating, 20% gratuity with all purchases, even coffee pots, the line was long and it moved at a snails pace, the large size coffee is really a small, you need a key to get into the restroom, the music outside is deafening, and finally, masks mandatory. With that said, I usually tip more than 20%, and I’m triple vaxxed, so I get it, but there should be a consideration for those who are vaxxed this far into the pandemic. If any 5 of those annoyances were not present, I would’ve given a better score.
