Review Summary

Reviews describe Cocoa Locale as a cozy bakery where cakes and cupcakes are beautifully crafted and consistently tasty, with flavors ranging from chocolate and orange cardamom to vanilla rose and coconut lemon; textures are tender, sweetness is well balanced, and many describe a homemade quality using high quality ingredients. The shop is warm and welcoming, the owner is described as sweet, and the atmosphere feels special and almost cinematic. Some notes mention that portions can be small for the price, that the shop is cash only and operates on a first come, first served basis, but overall the cakes are seen as affordable for celebrations of any size and worth the visit.

Been a huge fan for over 15 years. Best cakes, cupcakes, key lime pie & brownies in town. Try it!

The holy grail of cupcakes! Best I've ever tasted - & I've tasted a lot. Moist cake, heavenly frosting. Not to be missed.

The absolute best. I had these cupcakes at my wedding ten years ago. & moved away from Montreal- but whenever someone goes to Montreal, they bring me cupcakes from there. I am so lucky. They are the best- the perfect ratio of icing & cake, the perfect texture of cake. I'm eating one now that has been in my freezer, saved for a special day. You've got to find out for yourself how wonderful these are. & the gal that makes & sells them- she's lovely.

This bakery is phenomenal! Every time I get their chocolate cake, I plan to take a picture-but I never make it in time because I devour it too fast! It's just that good. The cake is so rich, moist, & irresistible, it's impossible to wait. If you're looking for the best chocolate cake in town, look no further.

Not only is Reema absolutely adorable but her cakes translate her love for life! I love that through the years she has stayed faithful to her style & palet! She loves making life a little sweeter & you can tell. I'm particularly fond of her more flowerish flavours. You need to celebrate? You need chocolate therapy? You need to pause for something sweet & take a seconde to stop running around & just savour the moment? Cocoa locale is always a good idea!

The best place in Montreal for your special occasion fancy cake or regular weekday cupcake needs... the cakes are both subtly interesting in flavour & perfectly decadent in texture & taste. The owner/operator is as sweet as her products & adds thoughtful flourishes like flower petals to top the cakes - she even has birthday candles in case you fogot to get some.

Very hot inside the way they store some of the cakes under high room temperature make them not fresh

Tiny one-person shop with super nice owner (Reena) & fabulous cakes! Perfect moist crumb cake & lots of frosting in many flavors (but make sure you have it at room temp for the flavors & texture to peak). I'm a chocoholic so the two chocolate cakes I've had were perfect, but I did also try a lemon/coconut cupcake & it may be even better! Two sizes of cakes at reasonable prices so you can indulge just a bit or a lot. Note they are cash only. A great local find.
