Cocorico French Bakery & Cafe

Visiting Nashville for work and typically try to look for local bakery/coffee shops while traveling. This bakery has one of the best almond croissants I have ever had. Absolutely delicious! I grabbed extra to take back with me and my husband who flew in today was just as amazed as I was at first bite! Thank you for your hospitality, great service and a delicious pastry!

Wonderful Mediterranean quiche, croissant, kouign-amman, and cappuccino for breakfast at Cocorico!. The quiche was creamy and the crust baked just right. I’ll order it again for sure. The croissant was well laminated and baked. I would have preferred a little more butter and salt and perhaps a bit more French brown during the baking but those are personal preferences. The kouign-amann was just the right level of sweetness. I couldn’t eat it all as I was already full having devoured the quiche and eaten from the croissant but if that had not been the case I would have easily had it all. Will definitely bookmark this bakery cafe for my next visit to Nashville.

Maybe we came at a less than optimal time, but we thought we’d have the pick of the litter on a Monday at 8am. The pastry case was a lot smaller than I expected, so the amount of sweet selections suffered. We did purchase the almond and chocolate croissants, and they were good, but I was hoping for glazed fruit atop custard tarts, eclairs or napoleons, but alas, there were none. The cappuccino was good and the French hot cocoa was ok, but not as memorable as Monmartre. Even the baguette was ok, but not as good as what you could purchase at any Lee’s Sandwiches. Pricey and underwhelming…

We stayed at the Virgin hotel, which is basically across the street from CocoaRico and I happen to have stopped in as I was walking by. The bakery and sandwich place is really great with perfectly made sandwiches and baked goods and they also offer drinks as well. My experience was that it was the last day I was in Nashville in the last 20 minutes the restaurant was open, and I was bound and determined to have this one particular sandwich that looked so delicious to me. I just had to have it. I called the restaurant and long story short, the employee Aicha answered my prayers! I couldn’t get it delivered because it was too close to closing time, but she made sure that sandwich (the LAST one in the store) got to me at the Virgin Hotel. This employee gets 5 starts!!! The sandwich I got was a

cute little french owned bakery in music row district! was so excited about the french onion soup sandwich but i’m sad to say it was a lil underwhelming. May I reccomend marinating the meat in actual french onion soup for flavor? i think that would really bring it to life. Chocolate croissant was good, staff was so friendly and coffees were good too!
