Great cafe with lots of selection and wonderful service. Conner was super friendly and took our order. We shared a breakfast plate with a smoothie. Very good food and portions for a reasonable price. Highly recommend this place as it also supports the local community and integrates those with development disabilities into their program.

Stopped by here for a quick brunch to go, and it was a very pleasant experience. Service was great, they were friendly and quick with our food. They also had a wide range of options to choose from! I had a breakfast bagel and Caramel latte while my husband had a breakfast wrap. Both tasted great and were very filling.

Read some good reviews and came to check it out for myself. They’ve set up and excellent order-in-front, pickup-out-back system, and the food came out quick given how busy it was. The food was all very fresh and tasted great, the soup was amazing!

Great food. Loved our west coast eggs benny and farmer’s breakfast wrap - the house made maple sausage was fantastic. Great hash browns, and friendly, flawless service. Lots of sunny outdoor seating!

My partner and I came here for the first time today and can honestly say that it's such a lovely little place to eat at. Everyone working today was friendly and welcoming (I believe Connor was at the counter) and when I asked to have an item taken out of the dish, it was agreed with no fuss. The food came out quickly and tasted delicious, we ordered the smoked salmon bagel and a coffee. Thank you to everyone at Coco Cafe, we will be back!

Oh man.....this place along with the staff was amazing. We got in early and couldn't check into our hotel yet and we were hungry so we took a drive to find some food. Came across CoCo Cafe. Amazing food and prices right!! The staff was very friendly! I'd definitely recommend to stop here if you are ever in Cedar!
