At the corner of Foster and Geer Streets, Cocoa Cinnamon’s original location is the perfect spot to recharge and experience community during a downtown stroll.

Both their indoor and outdoor seating options are great to enjoy a cup of coffee and a locally baked treat.

My husband knows how much I love trying new coffee shops and he heard about this one from a friend. I ordered an iced Al Mokha for take out today and it was absolutely delicious! It has a hint of cinnamon along with the chocolate that is perfect! They have indoor and outdoor seating to enjoy your coffee. The staff are friendly and quick. We will definitely be back!

Very unique place, love to plants, art, covered outdoor seating, dog friendly, new coffee flavors - try something crazy or ask the barista their fav option! This place was packed during a weekday, so plan accordingly. And parking was atrocious! Parking for the coffee shop totally full, park on street and pay then walk. So be prepared! Otherwise, great time! Ham and Cheese croissant toasted and lime espresso drink were surprisingly good 👍🏽

I really liked the ambience and vibe of this cafe, music was great too! I spent almost 10$ on an iced matcha though which is a bit too expensive but I’m sure you can find cheaper drinks!

Had a great experience this morning grabbing coffee and pastry and then working from this location! I got there around 8:50am on a Friday and there were plenty of seats but by about 9:30am the place filled up with other working professionals/students. I had Dr. Durham latte and a morning bun (puff pastry covered with cinnamon sugar). Loved both. I'll ask for my Dr. Durham extra hot next time :) The place has an awesome vibe. Loved the board with community events. Staff is friendly. Good selection of coffee and pastries. Wifi was fast. I'll be back to chill and/or work from here in the future, might be my new favorite coffee shop spot!

Been here a few times and the coffee has always been great. I enjoy the Cubano. Their baked goods are delicious. The pictures of the seating are just the more intimate areas, it’s right at the entrance but there’s more seating when you walk fully in. It can get crowded on the weekends so going on a weekday to spend time in there may be the best.

Amazing coffee and sipping chocolate. Their flavors are so thoughtful, unique, and hand-crafted. I had some type of fall latte which was excellent, but I loved even more the Mexican-inspired hot chocolate with cinnamon and cayenne. I’ll have to try their churro location next time too. Delicious and great service!

I really enjoy Cocoa Cinnamon, so I hesitated to say 4 stars. The drinks are always delicious and creative, with a focus on sourcing ingredients responsibly ❤️ I only take a star away because the line is often long (they take care with making their drinks) and the place is often crowded so it's hard to find a seat. These are good 'problems' to have! I mainly wish there was more room for staff to do their work (it's tight back there) and more indoor space. On a good weather day, sitting outside is excellent for working, socializing, or people-watching. I just wish there was more space.

I just had the best latte of my life from here. The salted honey latte was delicious. I also had the rum cake. They warned me that yes it would be expensive but it was so worth it. The baristas were very kind and patient and informative. I enjoyed the vibe of the cafe as it had beautiful outdoor seating with beautiful plants all around. I love how altruistic this shop is and I will definitely be back! This place is worth a visit.

Love them! The coffee, atmosphere, and staff are awesome! They carry my Brown Sugar Vanilla rum cake, too. 😍😍😍
