Welcome to Cocoa Bakery — where every treat is baked with care and a touch of magic

At Cocoa Bakery, we’ve had the joy of growing alongside our community.

We’ve baked cakes for new couples’ wedding ceremonies and for their baby showers down the line, watched kids stop by after school for a sweet treat, and seen friends, coworkers, and first dates share laughs over coffee and dessert. Every visit tells a story, and we’re honored to be part of yours.

Founded and led by Chef Jessica Isaacs, whose experience at Nobu and Le Calandre shaped everything from our technique to our philosophy: quality, care, and nothing overly sweet.
