All their pastries weve ordered were good and fluffy. Their bubbles teas were decently sized and good for the price. Ordered their chicken teriyaki rice bowl and it was decent but for $7 Ill take it. Lasted me 2 meals.

Frequently visit when in Cleveland. Taro and Thai bubble teas are our go-to’s. We get some desert type baked treat as well. Definitely recommend, and will be back.

So many delicious Asian desserts, beverages, beautifully decorated individual cakes, tarts, mousse, macaron, along with bubble tea, coffees, fruit waters.They offer all kinds of milk breads and crispy little almond cookies that aren’t too sweet. When you enter there is a self-service bakery case with all different types of filled buns, sesame balls, pastry wrapped hot dogs, and my very favorite a curried beef puff which rivals most Jamaican beef patties.Love their Hawaiian and Korean shaved ice bowls.

Great snacks, sweet treats such as shaved ice and beverages like boba tea in variety of flavors. My all time favorite is taro. I came here for their egg tarts.

Great little Asian bakery! They have a good variety of bakery and pastries that I never heard or see before. There bubble teas were going fast but I couldnt pass up the refreshing fresh fruit tea cup. It was really good. It has a slice of grapefruit, slice of orange,slice of lime, fresh pineapple, kiwi and strawberries...i should of bought 1 for now and one for later. I couldnt resist trying there raspberry cheese tarts. Delicious! I need one of these bakeries near me lol ill be back for a bubble tea next for sure. Really nice find in Asian town. They also have food entrees for lunch you can order. Please Note*** they are closed on Tuesday only.

I love the small Asian Bakeries. We dont have these where Im from. This place was suggested and did not disappoint. Large selection of pastries, buns, cookies and patties. The fruit tea is amazing. We didnt have the crazy line everyone speaks of but it was brisk business. Highly recommend a stop here, especially if youre just visiting.

Always very busy, but well worth the wait! The staff is quiet, but kind and quick. The food (buns and Boba) are excellent. I love driving out to Cleveland to go and eat there. Im very excited to try the actual bakery section too- if its anything like the buns, Im sure theyll be fabulous :)

We decided to stop since the Online reviews were good, but customer service was terrible! My daughter is allergic to kiwi, didnt realize this till the drink came, asked about it before she touched the cup, asked to replace it and they refused, allergy information should be obvious and wasn’t

I love koko bakery. I especially love the dry pork bun, but there are so many good buns here like the ham/turkey and egg buns, bacon and cheese buns, milk buns, so much good stuff I love this place.

Review №27

The bubble smoothies are excellent. Other than that, not really my cup of tea as far as a bakery is concerned. I say that because it’s a really small cramped in space and I felt rushed as a new person going in. Just too many people in one tight space and my OCD kicked in. Just ordered the bubble smoothie, but I wanted more food but OCD kicked in and I had to get out of there FAST! I’m sure the other food is good, but the place is just too small.

I crave buns and boba from koko everyday! I live on the east side, but the 30 minute drive there is absolutely worth it. I bet if I ever go to china, the taste and atmosphere would be very similar to koko’s and I would feel right at home:)

Best bubble tea flavors and good food to snack on. Only negative mark is that they only cook food once a day so you have to be there early in the morning to get the best selection which sucks

Feels somewhere between an Asian and a Western dessert shop. Fails to be either and not in a good way. Sure, it feels like a novelty in a sparse Asian town.

Im glad I finally went to Koko Bakery today. Ive been missing Hippo Bakery ever since I moved, but Koko has most every type of pastry/ bread that Im regularly looking for in an Asian bakery. They also have a lunch menu currently featuring sandwiches and donburi, as well as Taiwanese sticky rice. Smoothies, bubble tea, ice cream and shaved ice with a good selection of toppings are also available. My sandwich was delicious and only $6.95; the sweet potato fries could have been crisper, but the flavor was on point; and the pastries are tasty and baked just right. In general the prices are cheaper than I would have expected, but the quality is still excellent. Koko Bakery wil definitely become a regular stop for me when Im in Midtown.

Amazing food! Love the brown sugar milk tea and any of their buns. Get there before noon because after they are out of all most everything. Dont even try going after 3 if you want any buns. The drinks and dinners are still great so go for that in the afternoon.

Phenomenal Asian bakery that also serves food for lunch/dinner. Plenty of pastries to try that will keep you coming back. They also have awesome bubble tea and cheese milk drinks (sounds weird but think of it like a mango slushie with a salty butter beer like topping).

I liked this bakery until today. I ordered a 6-Inch birthday cake over the phone yesterday. I arrived at the bakery and ready to pick it up today. Then, I realized this small 4-people size whipped cream cake with mixed fruit on top costed me $45 dollars. This is the most expansive cake I have heard. Total rip off!

Try their bubble tea, or any other dessert and you wont be disappointed. Ive tried many different stuff there and never disliked any of them. Price is good and taste is authentic Asian flavor--not super sweet.

During Covid, I am staying home as lot, but was excited to get some baked goods and a tasty bubble tea.At 4:30pm, there were only two kinds of bread items in the large case on the left hand wall, with few pieces of each. Along the counter, there were less number of choices in the refrigerated case. I gots loaf of the coconut cream bread and a large tarp bubble tea.Now I may be biased because I was used to the taste and quality of the Kung Fu bubble tea at Kenko Sushi and Teriyaki in Kent, Ohio (I used to work there), I was NOT impressed by the watery and not-so-cold taro bubble tea at Koko’s. There weren’t much tapioca bubbles in the beverage either.The coconut cream bread was delicious. Moist, delicate and tasty. No complaints here.The only other side comment would be that the cashier was super unfriendly and my interaction was frustrating. I don’t think the women understood English well, because after trying to explain that I wanted to pay part of my bill in cash, and the rest on card, she just kept pointing to the card reader, clearly no intention of making an effort to understand what I was wanting to do.Frequently, in Asian food service establishments, the service is terse, direct to the point where it might seem almost unfriendly. That works for most of us, because all we want most of the time is quick, efficient transaction of food and service.But if the product selection is severely limited, and the quality of the bubble tea is compromised, AND an unfriendly cashier, I don’t know if there’s enough reasons to come back again for another unpleasant experience.I usually don’t write too many “bad” reviews, but this one was a noticeably bad day at Koko Bakery 🥺

Came in during quarantine for the first time! I got a veggie and cheese bun, a taro filled bun, and a taro bubble tea. This was the best bubble tea I’ve ever had- I usually don’t like the boba but I drank it all! The prices are very very reasonable- I got two buns and a tea for a little over 5$. The buns were very delicious too, and the staff was friendly and welcoming, I had my service dog in training with me and they were great. I highly recommend this place!

Review №84

Fun experience tasting desserts from an ethnic background different from mine. I like that they are less sweet. Some of them, particularly the cake rolls, are light, fluffy, and spongy. The green tea roll is really good. I also recommend the red bean roll. The dough is more like a flaky pie crust than a bread. I would give five stars if the place was cleaner.

A signature Cleveland hidden gem in the citys Asiatown neighborhood. The best bubble tea in town and a great variety of very tasty bakery items, catering to just about every taste preference. Prices are very fair, especially for a bakery located in a major metro area. Always a worthwhile stop.

I’m not complaining about the food. The food is good; but when my niece ordered a drink and changed her mind, she made it very clear what she wanted, they still made the original drink. I don’t mind the mistake. It was just a mistake but the employee said b@&ch in Chinese when she politely asked them to change the drink not knowing that my niece can speak Chinese. We quietly left.

Unexpected find on Christmas afternoon after dropping friends off at the airport and looking for open coffee shops for a latte before going home. The pastries and buns looked beautiful, but we didnt get any this time. Will be back. It was busy but the workers all had smiles for customers.

I have been going to Koko Bakery for almost ten years now, and I love it. Its been wonderful watching them grow from old fashioned poster menus on the walls to screen menus and get recognition with our local news. I personally love getting the buns and bubble tea the most, but everything Ive ever had there has been delicious. Attached I have a picture of the buns, and I will try to add some of the pastries and cakes later. They also have steamed hot buns, bowls (like teriyaki and rice) and coffee, smoothies, cakes, breads, cookies and more. We got one of their mango fruit cakes for my graduation years ago and it was the best cake Id ever had! The whole family loved it. I have taken so many friends and family here, and will continue to be a customer for as long as theyre in business.
