Cocoabeans Bakeshop And Cafe

Excellent food and treat options. Great location, beautiful decor. My go to for all things gluten free. My favourites include the morning glory muffin, date bar and the chicken salad. And of course, an Americano with almond milk.

I don’t have any gluten intolerance but momma does. I came here and grabbed her a few treats for her birthday and she was very happy. Will definitely be back.

The staff are welcoming, friendly and very easy-going. It felt like talking to friends. I dined in with my sister, who paid for me via gift card. I had the Chicken Tenders entree with an Iced Americano(dairy creamer, added hazelnut syrup), and sister had Today's Special, which was a pulled-pork poutine, as well as an Iced Americano(non-dairy creamer, added vanilla syrup). We also grabbed some Peanut Butter, and Chocolate chip cookies. The food was stellar. Its kind of a stereotype for gluten-free food to be a little lackluster, but I, a gluten enthusiast, enjoyed it whole-heartedly. The entire meal was incredibly well-seasoned, and came to us piping hot. The chicken tenders have a dry rub on the outside, so don't expect something like crispy fried chicken. The fries were out of this world. Crunchy on the outside, soft, pillowy potato deliciousness on the inside. Seasoned and herbed to perfection. The portion size was medium-large, but they also offer snack-sized portions. The atmosphere is really lovely. The only vivid colours you see are a light green back-wall, as everything else is a wood/brown tone. There is lots of natural light, and 2 lights by the counter. For people with sensory issues, I would say maybe bring some headphones, because they do have speakers playing music. The only reason I rated this 4 and not 5, is because parking is incredibly limited. It was difficult to find parking on side streets, and it accounted into a fair bit of walking. The door is also a bit narrow. For those reasons, I believe someone who has/needs mobility aid(s) may find difficulties. They do have accessible seating, and an accessible patio.

Went for a light dinner, checking the place out for a visiting relative with celiacs. On the whole it was pretty good. Had burgers and chicken fingers and their chocolate cake for dessert. The buns were very good, I have no problem with gluten but usually can tell the difference when I have gluten free foods. These buns were great. The breading on the chicken was delicious, crunchy and tasty. The cake was a bit heavy in texture, but still rich and chocolaty,. Saw a pizza on our way out and it looked pretty good too. On the whole, I found it a bit expensive since I don't need to avoid gluten, but for someone who needs to avoid it this is a great place. I would cheerfully go with someone who needs it and look forward to taking our visitors there.
