Amazing! You have to go! - Edit
This place was amazing! I love a place that is all vegan. I don’t have to be afraid of the menu…I can pick ANYTHING! A little pricy, but very worth it. I will be back to try more, but no complaints so far. Delicious food and wonderfully friendly server. I would bring my non-vegan friends here.

CLASSY - Edit
The most sophisticated vegan restaurant you'll find in the area. Beautiful space and delicious menu.

Coco Bistro is something special.

Good atmosphere - Edit
Casual eatery with lots of options. The brunch menu had lots of sandwiches which was neat to have so many vegan sandwich choices. I got the complete breakfast sandwich, wasn’t very flavorful. The chocolate peanut butter protein shake was delicious and not super heavy to have with another dish.

Dinner Is as Amazing as Brunch - Edit
Their dinner vegan menu is delicious. It's not just food for former/current meat eaters. There is food crafted for discriminating palates who are also vegan.

Utopia of a vegan dining experience! - Edit
We've eaten brunch at Coco Bistro twice now while visiting friends in North Carolina and we love it!
Read moreThis last stop we had the All-American Breakfast and chose the sausage as a side, my vegan partner could not have been any happier, he especially loved the eggs.
I ordered the Brunch Burger, I feel like a lot of omni places 'veganize' their brunch burger but it means leaving off the egg so I was pretty excited for this! I was asked for my choice between Beyond or Impossible Burger (chose Impossible) came topped with sunny side up egg, avocado, cheddar, arugula, chipotle mayo on a house made brioche bun, I added bacon and it comes with breakfast potatoes. It was so yummy and immensely satisfying, the bacon added a nice smokiness and crunch! Word of warning, it's on the messy side, do not order if you want to look like a sexy vegan! ;)
I really wanted the spicy Bloody Mary (again so hard to find vegan at other bars) but they were out of the mix so I 'settled' for the Spicy Verde Margarita which was excellent! It tasted like real juice and not a mix.
Another bonus.... free EV charging in the parking lot, slower charge but perfect to plug in while eating.
Service was friendly and fast, space is bright and airy, has art up featuring adorable animals, clean unisex restrooms marked Human, a lovely mix of customers and you have the option to round up the change on your bill to donate to an animal sanctuary.
It's a total utopia of a vegan dining experience!

I hate giving all vegan spots bad reviews - Edit
A lot of processed fake meats. Hardly anything feels like it’s made in house. Ordered the BLT and the difference between the menu photo and the actual thing was abysmal. Very disappointed and unsure why this spot has 5 stars.

Food was good - Edit
The food was good. Service was not the best. Did not receive utensils for a takeout order after specifically asking about it. Made eating a bit difficult. Would try again, maybe eat in.

Very tasty brunch - Edit
I loved all of the food I ordered. I ate everything too fast though lol. And it was not cheap but mostly because I got a lot of food. The scone I got was really good, I think it was apple cinnamon or something.

SO good!! - Edit
Spent a morning here working on my laptop. I got the strawberry matcha latte, the American breakfast with bacon, and the feta and fig toast. Everything was so insanely good! Haven’t had fried eggs like that since going vegan - they might use YoEgg? Also, their baked goods looked delicious and their staff was so friendly and helpful. Plus free parking!

Delicious! - Edit
Very flavorful food with a nice variety on the menu. Service was very friendly. I enjoyed the pesto “chicken” panini while my niece had the avocado toast and my sister had the loaded avocado toast. In the excitement of meeting my family from out of town I forget to get pictures of our food. All of it was served with a nice presentation. We all had speciality coffee with an option for various nondairy milks. Very lovely brunch! I look forward to returning again!

Good food, cute and trendy decor. - Edit
My husband had the Pesto “Chicken” Argula Panini which he really enjoyed. I had the Quinoa & Avocado Buddha Bowl. I liked it but the “chicken” in my dish could have used some more flavor. Would definitely go back to try other options.

So much to choose from on the menu. We had 3 courses and everything was outstanding. The service was efficient and friendly. A lovely atmosphere with big windows and bright decor. We had some difficulty using the online ordering but were able to place our order at the counter. Free parking in the little deck opposite. Really enjoyed our meal here while visiting Chapel Hill.
