    Cocoa tree is one of the best cafés in Kochi. I’ve tried many dishes and everything is exceptionally good. The prices are on the higher side. Great ambiance and service. Perfect place to hangout with friends and family.

    Stepped in for a quick bite. The ambience took me back to cafes in the Bangalore area. They have done a great job in keeping the place aesthetic. I loved the menu but could only order the fried squid. It was crispy on the outside and perfect inside. Would like to come back and try out the other options.

    Great ambience and even better food! I tried the loaded mac 'n cheese with chicken and it was soooo tasty. The cheese was not at all overpowering and just the right amount. Even thought of having seconds, it was that good. We also had the chicken frankfurter pizza, which was decent. The passionfruit lemonade was great. And we had the chocolate overload and creme brulee for dessert which was a great combination. The creme brulee was really light and offset the intense chocolate flavour of the chocolate overload. The ambience was really good, and the service was also great. They also have wide variety of pastries and other desserts. A little on the pricier side but the quality of the food makes it all worth it. Will try to visit again!

    Excellent outlet with a wide variety of dishes. Milkshakes and pastries were outstanding.Pasta was ok, but the pizzas ordered made up for it. Sizzling brownie and hot chocolate were the best from the items that we tried. Parking is tricky as it's in a crowded area. The staff is helpful and friendly.

    A good place to visit. I love the ambiance, interiors, and overall arrangements inside the restaurant. Selective options in the menu but well prepared/presented- lots of cake options. Considering the prime location, it’s good to include some focused dishes around vegetarian and healthy types. A not-so-exciting part of the place is that they won’t provide wifi, and it’s a perfect place to meet over work meetings or working away from home with lunch. I hope their staffs are more friendly and smile more! ( Maybe the masks😉). Please do visit, and I will go again.

    Every time I find myself in Cochin, this is a particular place that never disappoints, their food, service, and ambiance are truly exceptional. The Lasange Bolognaise they serve there surpasses any I've ever tasted at countless other restaurants (and trust me, I've explored many). It is an absolute standout in terms of flavor and quality. The overall customer experience is nothing short of incredible. Even when I found the peanut butter banoffee shake a little too sweet, they promptly adjusted it to my liking. They also offered to replace it with any other shake from their menu. This level of generosity will definitely bring people back to this place again.

    Amazing vibe. Must go visit for the ambience and the variety of desserts... And the desserts taste good.. We ordered pastas and cottage cheese sandwich.. the pasta tastes good but could be a lil creamier.. paneer sandwich was amazziiinngggg.. Totally happy with the place.. Servers could be a lil more knowledge trained..

    All in one place.. from snacks to main course this place is suitable for all types of get togethers with enough time to relax and have a bite.. relatively high end place, within which you'll find people from teenagers, families to businesses and celebrities opting this place for chilling out to professional dining meetings. Food overall is good, and the charges are mainly for the ambience and coziness of this place i feel..

    Wonderful place, amazing food. They maintain seats with social distancing. Cocoa Tree maintains its quality from sometime and would recommend this place. They have ample of seating, so it's suitable even for big groups. May find it bit costly, but it's worth the quality of food and ambience. If you're lucky, you can spot a celebrity snacking.

    Coco tree has always been the OG cafe in Kochi. It continues to maintain the standards. If you are a seafood lover you must try their Gordon's prawn spaghetti. It is packed with seafood flavour. You can also try their chicken parmigiana. The wikd mushroom pasta is a good option for vegetarians. For drinks my favourite is the chocolate excess milkshake. I also tried their lime and mint ice tea. Cream brulee is a very light dessert after a heavy meal.

    It was an ok experience for us, nothing exceptional. Went for a dinner on Valentine's day, around 9:00 PM. It wasn't very crowded at that time. We ordered Chicken ceaser salad, CT Club sandwich, BBQ chicken sandwich, and a couple of drinks. The food was decent. But the service let us down. We had to wait for a long time before someone came to take the order. There was no customary checks in between to make sure if we were alright, or if we need anything else. And finally, at the time of clearing the dishes, nothing was asked, like if we needed to order anything else or how was the food was etc. I'm pointing this as you would expect this in a place like Cocoa Tree. I'm not sure if I'll visit them again. Peace ✌️

    Excellent place for coffee, tea plus snacks. They have a full lunch, dinner menu too, but I didnt try that as I visited during late afternoon “coffee” hours. My group ordered Assam tea, Cappuccino and a bread pudding. All the items were very good. Only gave 4 stars as parking is a pain at the location. Otherwise a highly recommended place in Kochi.

    A good place to dine out with friends and family. Good dessert options available. I tried Alfredo pasta and Carbonara pasta for dinner, both were not up to my expectations. Anyway service and ambience were good.

    One of the best places to have pastas, sandwiches, cakes and everything continental. Food always tastes wonderful here . Service is top notch. On the pricier side of the spectrum though. But I would say it is value for money when you consider the quality, taste , presentation etc. Things you should try for sure are 1) steak and Onion sandwich. 2) Stroganoff 3) lasagne 4) cheese cake . Only down side is that there are not much dedicated parking space available to the restaurant. There are plenty of places to park nearby though.

    Cocoa tree cafe Ambience is good. Food tastes good. Not many options for veg. But still the few available options taste good. Price is upper side. Pricier than other best cafés in Kochi. There are enough street parkings. Try for one time.

    My wife and I had dinner with her friends at Cocoa Tree. We had a pretty good experience. For starters, we had Asian Style Dragon Wings. For the main course, I had a Pulled Pork Burger which I liked quite a bit. The others had Butter Garlic Prawns and a Chicken Fiesta Pizza both of which they liked. I also had a Cookie Monster milkshake which was as expected. One issue we had was that the items were not delivered in the order you would expect. The wings were delivered after the pizza and so on. Apart from that one issue, we enjoyed our dinner. The service was quite good. Overall, the dinner more or less as expected which was good.

    Had lunch from Cocoa Tree and loved the overall experience. Loved the ambiance and the Christmas decorations inside the cafe and the staff were very polite and friendly. We had a pizza, hot chocolate and a cheesecake, all of which were really tasty, with the standout being the cheesecake. The prices are on the higher side, but definitely worth the cost for the quality and taste.

    This cafe offers a nice atmosphere. This eatery serves a wide variety of foods, including pizza, shakes, cakes, pastas, sandwiches, pies, and more. Despite being little costly, it's a great spot to hang out with friends.

    An average cafe with a pricey menu. Customer service was not as expected. I ordered a lemonade without ice but it was served with ice, I told them the order was without ice, the one who served me the same took it back and removed the ice cubes and served me the same.(it was cold enough) Finally on repeated requests I got it replaced.

  • 4/5 Firas Mohamed A. 7 months ago on Google
    Went in to have desserts. Ended up having a full course dinner. Items are a bit pricey and their quantity a bit on the lower end. However, the taste and quality of the food was worth all of it. The dessert, sizzling brownie looked so yum. But lacked the punch somewhere. Worth a try though.

  • 3/5 Pratibha N. 7 months ago on Google
    We had the lotus biscoff cheese cake, chocolate excess cake, fig and honey cake. They were all ok. But they seem to have lost the old taste.

  • 3/5 Liya E. 7 months ago on Google
    The food is good but maybe not upto the price. This is was my go-to place during college days for cheesecakes. Only cheesecake’s taste remains the same, rest not upto the level of its price. But the ambience is good.

  • 5/5 Arun R P. 8 months ago on Google
    This is one of the best cafes in Kochi. The food tastes really good and the desserts are awesome too. I really love their mudslide and sizzling chocolate brownie. The sandwiches are also good. Also the ambience is good that you can spend time there with your friends. Overall it's a good experience

    First of all excellent ambience it is very calm and quiet and peaceful environment. The food served was also top quality and extremely tasty and fresh. The service is also very good The service staffs are friendly and helpful. Parking is a little bit problem during peak time. The place is on the first floor and they have decorated the whole stairs with posters which is a nice approach The restaurant is air conditioned. The first thing is the menu is available by scanning a QR code which is placed on every table. And there are places for groups to sit together and enjoy the food. The price is a Little bit expensive but the service and food quality covers that.

    The ambience is good and best for hanging out. But the food is not that good. Ordered burgers and felt it lost the taste and was a bit old (yeah stale and frowsty).

  • 4/5 vigneswar j. 1 year ago on Google
    A great place to hang out with friends. Does not take much time to get the food ready. The cold coffee gets a special mention, one of the best. Their spiked potato wedges were great.

  • 4/5 Ashik S. 1 year ago on Google
    Have been to the Panampilly Nagar Cocoa Tree many times over during the past decade, trying out many of their dishes. Have always found the place well kept, courteously staffed and the dishes mouthwatering. Had their Pulled Pork Burger this time and was delicious as expected. The only problem I’ve ever faced here was that the place can get noisy when fully packed. But then the seats are good, the AC is comfortable, and the food, as I said before, mouthwatering.

  • 3/5 Reema G. 1 year ago on Google
    Buffalo chicken wings:5/5 ! Finger licking good! Crispy chicken burger:2/5 for the price 340-360 it could have been much better. It was an below average burger and dry. Lotus biscoff cheese cake: 4/5 a decent cheese cake. Butter garlic chicken: 2/5 was not of my liking. Didn't like the flavour of dried shrimp unfortunately. Service: 5/5! Great service and exceptional interiors with good vibes and good music.

  • 5/5 Nishant K. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered the st.German,the tiramisu,chocolate jar and the baked yogurt. Balance of flavour in all the things we ordered were on point. Would definitely recommend the St.German although the portion is just enough for one person (we tried to share and ended up having to order more💀) Loved the food!😸😻😸

  • 5/5 Ashish S. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a lovely place to have some piece of cakes and desserts. Used to visit from college days where there are no many spots in kochi to hangout. A good range of pastries and cakes they offer and taste extremely well. You can order cakes for your loved once without a second thought.

  • 5/5 Alida Anna W. 2 years ago on Google
    Had Chilli cheese fries, lasagne bolognese and alfredo chicken pasta with garlic bread. Enjoyed it.

  • 3/5 Joel C. 2 years ago on Google
    Had their Lasagna Bolognese, chilli cheese fries and the legendary Mudslide! The lasagna was good but the chilli cheese fries were mediocre, not like what we had a few months back, which tasted way more fresh. The fries tasted abnormal and somehow did not reach cocoa tree standards. The service was also likewise. All that aside, the star of the show was the Mudslide! Enjoyed to the very last gulp. A definite must-try! Ambience was as always Supreme!

  • 4/5 Harikrishnan.S 2 years ago on Google
    One of the most famous Cafés in Ernakulam. 2 joints located in Panampally Nagar and MG Road. Easy to locate. Decent parking space availability. Cosy ambience. Continental cuisine and variety of pizzas are available at the Panampally Nagar outlet. Desserts are just mind blowing. Overall, the food is of top quality. Very friendly staff. An ideal place to sit back and relax with some good food.

  • 4/5 Amal E. 3 years ago on Google
    Good food and high end appeal. But prices are too high. Passion fruit mojito was not as expected. Cold Coffee was a bit more bitter. Got a complementary dessert also.

    This is my second visit at the panampilly cocoa tree and I sure love it. The pastries, cakes, shakes and all are truly amazing.

  • 4/5 Sudharsan H. 3 years ago on Google
    A quaint, laid back and calm cafe atmosphere. Coffee and pastries were delicious. The lotus Biscoff wasn’t that great rest were all good. Service was very good. There was sufficient car parking. The restroom were clean and tidy. It’s definitely an ideal place for a date.

  • 5/5 aparna b. 2 years ago on Google
    It has dine-in options now.. good ambience and delicious food.. their service is excellent

  • 4/5 Asish E S. 2 years ago on Google
    A very nice place to have continental dishes and the ambience is amazing here. The pizza was not the best but okay. The continental dishes we tried were very tasty especially the lasagne. The parking is a little bit problem. The dine in area is good for small groups of 5. I think it can accommodate 40 people at a time while following covid protocols.
