Coco's Coffeehouse & Cafe at 170 Richardson Crossing in Arnold offers a welcoming, unpretentious spot for coffee lovers and casual diners alike. Tucked into a shared space with a hair salon, the café manages to carve out its own cozy atmosphere despite the unusual setup. Visitors pulling in might initially miss it — the storefront is subtle — but stepping inside reveals a warm environment marked by friendly baristas who readily share their knowledge of the menu.

This café is well-suited for those who appreciate craft coffee with options to customize, including specialty brews like protein coffee, alongside excellent tea lattes made with care and creative house-made syrups. While coffee is clearly a highlight, the food menu deserves attention too, featuring breakfast and lunch choices that balance locally sourced ingredients with imported specialty breads. People have praised sandwiches that combine familiar flavors with fresh, thoughtfully selected components, making it a solid spot to grab a satisfying meal alongside your drink.

The vibe here is relaxed but attentive, attracting a mix of locals looking for a laid-back stop on a morning drive or a casual midday break. The minimalistic plating and neat presentation add a subtle touch of craft to the experience without feeling pretentious. Seating accommodates both dine-in and takeout guests, making it flexible for quick visits or leisurely pauses during the day.

Given its approachable setting and varied menu, Coco's feels like a practical choice rather than a destination solely for coffee aficionados. It works well for those who enjoy discovering new cafes along the way, people who prefer tea as much as coffee, and anyone wanting simple, well-made meals in a calm environment. Morning and early afternoon visits may offer the best chance to enjoy the full range of offerings and the friendly barista interactions before the afternoon rush.

Long-time coffee house enjoyer, first time here. I am delighted! As I was pulling into the lot, GPS noting the coffee spot, all I could see was a Salon store front. I almost turned around. So glad I didn't. I walked through the front doors and straight into a welcoming space with amazing vibes! I was greeted pleasantly by two baristas who warnly welcomed me and shared the menu and suggestions. They have an extensive food and beverage menu. I opted for a garden bagel sandwhich and Maple Daze hot latte. I found a seat, a comfortable bench, with a view of the door. I witnessed a couple customers curiously look at the door, questioning-like me- is this the place? I also overheard a customer say he was here because of a referral. A friend sings their praises, and I can see why! My order was brought to me. The maple daze, perfect temp and brew. The addition of the salt elevated the profile. Excellent start! The sandwhich came moments later. Fresh ingredients and delicious cream cheese spread! I am so glad I walked into salon doors to find this perfect coffee spot. Enjoying life 1 sip, 1 bite and 1 small town at a time. Explore everything!

If you haven’t been in a while you should check out Coco’s new menu! I don’t drink coffee but love tea and Annie makes amazing tea lattes! I had the Jasmine Breeze, made with jasmine mint green tea, homemade cardamom agave syrup and milk. It was fantastic!!! And the food is delicious too: I had the Vegiterranean sandwich; super flavorful and delicious bread too! Annie is a sweetheart and you can tell she puts her soul in what she does!

Hidden gem, a friend stumbled upon and told our friend group about it! The food was a pleasure to enjoy! Plating was minimalistic and clean! The slices side fruit fresh. The staff was very friendly and helpful! Coffee was Kaldis brand and made with embellishments of my choosing, Del-icious! I ate in and will definitely bring my spouse back here! Appreciate the craftsmanship of the food and the calm friendly atmosphere. Compliments to the chef!

You can dine in or take out but this place has an amazing selection of breakfast and lunch items. Locally sourced and specialty breads imported. I will absolutely be back here before hitting Arnold Starbucks.

I was driving through and stumbled upon Coco’s and it was a pleasant surprise! So many delicious food options, the coffee is amazing and I was even intrigued that they offered protein coffee options! If I’m ever driving through again I will definitely stop here. I also think it’s such a cool business colab that they share a space with a hair salon. It is done in such a way that everything is seperate and the decor is very modern and beautiful.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hidden Gem in Arnold! A friend of ours stumbled upon Coco’s Coffee House and Café and quickly shared it with our group — and wow, what a find! This place is truly a hidden gem. The food was absolutely delightful, beautifully plated with a clean, minimalistic style. I especially appreciated the fresh sliced fruit on the side — such a thoughtful touch! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the chai tea espresso latte, which was served at room temperature. When I asked if it could be heated up, they kindly explained they don’t use a microwave, but had another way to warm it — and they did just that! I really appreciated the effort and care. I dined in and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I’m already planning to bring my ladies’ lunch crew of five here for one of our weekly meetups. Thank you, Coco’s, for sharing your talent and hospitality with the community. We’ll definitely be back!

I had a great time at Coco’s Cafe! The concept of combining a hair salon with a coffee shop is super cool. The avocado toast was fantastic—one of the best I’ve had—and the cappuccino was decent, though a little on the weak side. The staff was friendly, but I did find myself a bit confused by the tipping system. There were three different tipping options on the screen, but honestly, the service didn’t feel like it warranted anything extra. Obviously I tipped but…It’s a small space, not busy at the time, and the girls didn’t do anything beyond what you’d expect. I’ve been noticing this tipping trend everywhere lately, though—where you’re asked to tip even when the service doesn’t feel exceptional. It’s becoming a bit much. Still, I really enjoyed my visit and will likely return!

Very good food and coffee, coffees are not very sweet so if you like sweeter coffees make sure to request it (I love bold coffees) Got the pork Cuban with pickles and sweet and hot mustard. Very good will come back to show friends this sandwich and cafe
