Come for the patisserie, stay for the hospitality. Miss Evette is the loveliest, she made our morning and was so thoughtful and sweet and friendly--give this wonderful woman the biggest raise! She is 100% the reason we will be returning.

I'm literally standing inside right now. Not sure why it claims it's closed. Nonetheless, the barista was sweet and very helpful. I walk by here all the time. It was great! I had a red velvet cupcake.

Loved this place! Their gelato is delicious! Short visit here but had a great time. It's a cute store inside the Ritz Carlton Hotel. Recommend the double chocolate gelato. We were able to sample it before buying. Their macrons are delicious too! We had 6 different kinds and they're made in-house. Great experience.

I liked the location & blue outside couches drawn me in. Had coffee w almond milk & dark chocolates since vegan options were limited but woman assisting us was very sweet & helpful. Great place to take a break & people watch.

Fantastic macarons- very delicious and absolutely beautiful! I love the colors and the glitter, as well as the unique flavors. There's also a lot of fancy cakes and drinks to pick from. The best thing is that this cute little dessert place is open until late.

After watching a show on the arena, we were craving some sweets and stumbled upon Bar Cocoa. The little coffee and cakes shop has a variety of coffees, cakes, gelato, etc. The prices are a lot more reasonable than I expected, knowing that it is connected to the Ritz Hotel. I ordered a pistachio gelato and an apple macaron. The small gelato was really big, even for the small size, If I had known i would probably have asked for two flavors. The gelato was good but not amazing, I got tired of it half way thorough, which is a problem I don't typically have with Gelato. My macaron was not great either, it was kind of crumbly, my companion had the raspberry one and that was great, I think the apple cream was not as good as the raspberry jelly. My favorite part was being able to hang out in the fancy Ritz Carlton hotel while eating ice cream.

Very cute and cozy little coffee shop/bakery. They even have gelato. Prices are very reasonable and the two gentlemen working were very nice. Though we did not get any desserts they all looked amazing. We were in the area in a cold day and googled the best hot chocolate near us and this place came up. My husband and brother both got the hot chocolate but I got a small cappuccino instead. The hot chocolate (because of course I still had to try it) had a very smooth and creamy texture. They loved it! It also had like a cinnamon flavor in it. It wasn't your basic hot chocolate, it was definitely elevated. The cappuccino was pretty standard. Once ordered there's a little hall that takes you down to a seating area. There a restaurant there but also some couches in front of a fireplace. It was super nice!
