NAME: najib SUBMITTED: 6/11/2008   LAST VISIT WAS: 06/2008 FREQUENCY: Everybody here knows my name... MY REVIEW: I went there on a weekday in the evening. I was craving a sweet crepe and they are nowhere to be found in Houston. My Chocolate Banana Crepe was delicious. Prices were very reasonable. I will go back soon. NAME: et SUBMITTED: 4/23/2008   LAST VISIT WAS: 04/08 FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: My husband and I have been looking for a creperie that could produce the kind of sweet or savory crepes we had in Paris. This is the first place in Houston that does them right! The batter is light, but flavorfull. You have dozens of fillings to choose from - or you can keep it simple with just cinnamon and sugar. Though we haven't tried their other menu items, you can get paninis and gelato too. This is a cute little place right across the street from the F*ront Porch pub and it stays open until midnight on the weekends. The crepes are reasonably priced - we paid less than $3 for mine! We will definitely return with friends. NAME: Hollow_Leg SUBMITTED: 3/1/2008   LAST VISIT WAS: 3/08 FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: I have been there numerous times and never been disapointed. NEVER. Ya it can be a little bit pricy but the food is worth it and filling. There are many different versions of crepes and this place is the best in town. Sometimes the service is slow but only because they are so crowded, and for good reason. iT IS NOWHERE as slow as they say. Not much parking. Also if you would like and ingrediant in one of the crepes, no problem they can change it for you to your liking.long review short great, give it 5 stars/5 stars, go there it is delightful. (try #5 sweet mmm) NAME: u have to go here!!!!!!! SUBMITTED: 12/29/2007   LAST VISIT WAS: 12/29/07 FREQUENCY: Everybody here knows my name... MY REVIEW: Coco's is the best crepe place in town. It's clean and the crew is extremely nice. The place may have slow service only because the place is small and popular in Midtown, but the wait is not as bad as everyone makes it sound. The manager and crew (especially Achi!) always make you feel at home and will do anything to make your visit as pleasant as possible. Try their smoked salmon crepe/panini and bananas foster for dessert. NAME: HJL82 SUBMITTED: 9/6/2007   LAST VISIT WAS: August/2007 FREQUENCY: Visited 4-6 times MY REVIEW: Very disappointed. Expensive food, mediocre portions. Their crepes were very soggy and tasteless. Will not be going there again. NAME: ra1028 SUBMITTED: 8/12/2007   LAST VISIT WAS: July 16th FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: We discovered this place while driving around the area. I was very impressed with the menu. Everything looked great. Had a hard time choosing. My friend ordered the salmon and cream cheese with capers, etc. Delicious!!!! I ordered the banana and caramel and my husband ordered the strawberry and chocolate. All were extremely good although I thought mine would be hot but it was served cold. Our Cafe Mocha was better than S*tarbucks! I can't wait to go back. Only bad thing was that it took longer than expected to get our crepes. NAME: Marilyn SUBMITTED: 7/27/2007   LAST VISIT WAS: July 27, 2007 FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: I have been there with various family members several times. Always good food and service. Thought the coffee was good too and I'm a strong coffee snob from Chicago. It was also a clean little place. Can't stand a restaurant with nasty bathrooms but theirs are clean. When I tell my family from out of town I had lunch with so-and-so at Coco's they tell me not to tell them as they loved the crepes when I brought them there and they can't get them where they live. Good people watching spot from the tables outside. NAME: Cathleen SUBMITTED: 3/23/2007   LAST VISIT WAS: March 2007 FREQUENCY: Visited 4-6 times MY REVIEW: I ran by this place Saturday morning so I decided to come back from breakfast. My wife and I each had a Crepe, she had Spinach and Goat Cheese and I had Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese. Both were made in front of us and contained more than enough filling without it being overwhelming. We also had coffee (which I thought was quite good). It would be nice if they would purchase a high chair or two but we made do with a 21 month old who enjoyed both crepes as well. All told it was a decent little breakfast for 2 adults for $14.00 with a nice tip thrown in for the terrific service. NAME: John SUBMITTED: 1/22/2007   LAST VISIT WAS: JAN/06 FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: I finnally found a crepe shop in town!! Good viriety for ingredients and friendly service. I would only change the sauces available for savory crepes. Can they do something besides pesto? Anyways, I'll be coming back, and bring friends and family along... unless I find a better crepe place in Houston NAME: coco SUBMITTED: 10/19/2006   LAST VISIT WAS: Oct2006 FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: Banana-nutella crepe was quite good, savory crepe was sad. As mentioned by someone else, am pretty sure they used the same batter for both. Savory tastes MUCH better on a buckwheat crepe (technically, a "galette"); but if you're gonna do it with regular wheat, the least you can do is use a separate, unsweetened batter. Service was terrible; took them about 25 minutes to make the two crepes ahead of mine and then mine. When I ordered banana-nutella as a "build my own", the cashier said I had to order the pre-defined version that cost more; she claimed that "that's how they tell us to do it". Service is too slow to go back for a quick dessert, and the savory-crepe quality is too low to go back for a meal. Disappointing.

I tried the smoked salmon and cream cheese crepe and it was great. I can't wait to try this place for breakfast. Will be back soon! NAME: HREK SUBMITTED: 6/23/2006   LAST VISIT WAS: 6/23 FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: I must have hit this place on a bad day. They served by far the worst coffee I've ever tasted. I'd be willing to give them another chance if the service hadn't been equally bad. Too many good coffee establishments to waste any more time with this one. NAME: Caffeine Junkie SUBMITTED: 6/7/2006   LAST VISIT WAS: 06/2006 FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: The proprietor is the same as Mia Bella's, Cava, and Saffron Moroccan restaurant. I have tried and love Mia Bella's and Cava, so thought I'd give Coco's a try. They have selections of sweet, savory, and breakfast crepes... or you can build your own. I had the #2 savory crepe which was caramelized onions, Moroccan sausage, mozarella, and mushrooms with a sun dried tomato pesto sauce on top. I substituted goat cheese for the mozarella. It was freshly made in front of me. It was yummy... a little on the oily side though. They also have paninis, a couple of salads, and one soup selection (tomato basil bisque), in addition to coffee, tea, Italian cream sodas, smoothies, and gelato. For the sweet crepes, some of the possible selections include fruit, whipped cream, creme brulee, nutella, white chocolate and dark chocolate mousse, etc. For the savory crepes, some of the selections include brie, roasted veggies, roasted red peppers, feta, ricotta, goat cheese, sauteed mushrooms, chicken breast, etc. There's no ambience...its just a small cafe with a few tables inside and out. You order at the counter. I got mine to go. I'll be back to try some of the breakfast tacos and the coffee. NAME: I love goat cheese SUBMITTED: 5/21/2006   LAST VISIT WAS: May 2006 FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: When I went to Coco's Crepes I came shortly before closing time. I ordered a simple egg and ham crepe. It was an egg mixture that was cooked ahead of time and since it was the end of the day it was quite cold so it was microwaved just before serving. When I ate it I didn't find anything particularly interesting about it. Plus I think he may use the same batter for sweet and savory crepes. The gelato however was quite good. Final Verdict: The savory crepes are lacking but it's worth going to for dessert and coffee. NAME: Rennais SUBMITTED: 5/16/2006   LAST VISIT WAS: January/2006 FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: I have been to Coco's several times and every time have tried something different, and have loved them all. The sweet (nutella and strawberries) and savory (salmon, roasted red pepper pesto, veggies, cheese) crepes were delicious. As a frequenter of coffee shops, I thought the coffee here was fresh and made well. They have an amazing selection of loose leaf organic teas as well. I will keep going back. NAME: lourdesbo SUBMITTED: 4/6/2006   LAST VISIT WAS: 04.02.06 FREQUENCY: Visited 4-6 times MY REVIEW: I have tried quite a few crepe places in houston and this place by far has the best crepes. They are made to order with some great choices of ingredients. Coffee seems to have been a second thought in this place as you would assume such a well put together european place would have a high end french or italian coffee but it is not the case..they have some local coffee that is B-grade. No big deal I can get coffee somewhere else, as I came here for crepes and was not dissappointed, just woulod have like to make one stop insread of two but maybe they will get the coffee togerther at some point... NAME: BFlorence SUBMITTED: 3/19/2006   LAST VISIT WAS: 3/2006 FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: I noticed the shop a couple months ago and I was curious so today we took a coworker there for a dessert crepe for her birthday - was not disapointed! The counter staff were cheerful and helpful, but it was a little overwhelming to realize they have a full menu of savory crepes as well as dessert crepes in addition to soups, salad, gelato, coffee, tea, smoothies, cream sodas, and cake slices from sister restaurant Mia B*ella. We had nutella crepes and gelato today and everyone was very happy. Will definnitely be back for a breakfast or lunch crepe.
