A small cafe serving French and Japanese-inspired pastries has been making big waves in the local foodie scene.  Choco Coo Cafe is a cute and quaint cafe located in Coquitlam and their desserts are decadent and Instagram-worthy.  I was invited to attend a media event organized by Instagrammer @sk_foodoholic recently where I got to sample their delicious desserts and learn more about their story.

Choco Coo Cafe’s kitchen is lead by Chef Henry, a Parisian-trained pastry chef who has worked at numerous fine dining establishments.  Their pastries are freshly made in-house every day and uses high quality ingredients.  For example, their popular matcha desserts are made with a premium matcha imported from Japan.

  • Napoleon
  • Matcha Mousse
  • Strawberry Cake
  • Chocolate classic

Their cakes are light, moist, fluffy and not overly sweet.  I quite enjoyed the flavours of the red velvet and strawberry cakes.

The raspberry macaron sandwich was absolutely adorable in terms of presentation.  The crispy outer shell of the macaron was on point.
