There are Coco’s bakeries sprinkled throughout the state of California, but honestly, how good is your local Coco’s?
Don’t let the images on the exterior of their buildings fool you; they may advertise juicy sirloin steaks and fluffy strawberry-topped pancakes, but their food is low on the scale of good taste.
The Coco’s bakery and restaurant at the border between Seal Beach and Garden Grove has become notorious (in my own experiences) for their tasteless food. Although the restaurant is very comfortable and homely inside and their prices are affordable, you still aren’t getting what you pay for.
Because of its close proximity to my home, my family has tried Coco’s a few times, each trial ending with disappointment. During my most recent experience, I ordered the San Francisco sourdough burger, which consists of cheddar cheese, sauteed onions, mustard sauce and pickles on sourdough bread, along with a cup of salad. The sandwich was completely tasteless and dry, and while the salad dressing had decent flavor, the lettuce was limp and wilted. Service was efficient enough, but our waitress wasn’t especially friendly.
This experience certainly wasn’t the worst, however. A couple years ago I went to Coco’s for breakfast, and a family member found several small hairs on her bacon. Another time a friend requested a side of ranch dressing, and there were thick white clumps in the dish, as if the dressing had expired.
My family’s latest experience probably put an end to my occasional adventures at Coco’s. It’s tempting to visit because of its many locations and appealing advertisements, but in the end, it just isn’t worth the time and money. If you don’t have tastebuds, Coco’s may be great for you – but if you do, you should probably find somewhere else to eat.
