It's my favorite place to get coffee on campus. It's not only the cheapest but it has a great atmosphere. Being in here means I run into people often, and the coffee is solid. There's a lot of new hires pretty much all the time, but I've found that helping them out with my usual order is no big hassle. I recommend the Vanilla Latte and the Campfire Latte when it cycles back around as drink of the month. That being said, they WILL get your name wrong.

This is fantastic!! Go for the academic bowl!! Also had a terrific latte!! They were so nice when I accidently picked up the wrong order. Great service!

The Coho, for what it is, is great. And what it is, is a student run coffee bar that has a friendly staff, and a decent selection at an excellent price. Where else can you get a medium coffee and a blueberry muffin for less than $5?
However, I avoid anything other than that order. Their lattes are hard to call lattes. This is the type of take that gets eyerolls from other people but I remain resolved. The students making them often have no prior experience, so I don't blame them, but I suspect many of them have never even had a latte. It's a coarse foam over lukewarm burnt espresso.
And then there are the pastries. Most are pretty good, not very fresh but definitely decent. Except for their strawberry croissants. I don't know what had to go wrong for them to serve what was decidedly *not* a strawberry croissant. When I bit into it I thought I was having an aneurysm. It tasted like raspberry, which is a very distinct flavor from strawberry. I went back to the display to check to see if I had mistakenly ordered a raspberry croissant, but sure enough it said strawberry. I felt like I was going crazy. I told the attendant, she grabbed her manager and I told them it tasted like raspberry.
She said they never order raspberry. My whole world crumbled.
For a brief second I considered the other options. That I was having a paranoid delusion. A mental break. I expected to them say that I had never ordered a croissant at all and that I was losing my mind.
In an effort to rectify the situation and save me from what must have looked like the brink of a psychotic episode, the manager graciously offered to replace it with a different pastry.
"Now I guess you know that you don't like it", they said. I felt a mild sense of gaslighting, I know what strawberry tastes like, and I definitely like it. But if I were in their position I probably would've handled it the same way. I wasn't expecting a side of derealization with my morning coffee and pastry, but you can never know what to expect at the CoHo.
Oh, also I really wish they had longer hours and opened on Friday :/

Depends on the day and your mood...this is a busy coffee house. So if you know that much and know you might run into a line during passing period- all else will be good!. Students working this coho are usually pretty awesome, chill n friendly. Wish they had whole milk! Haha. Otherwise great spot for a pick me up! Tons of seating inside and outside.

Slow service only because they serve a billion students a day. But consistently decent drinks and pastries. Never fails to satisfy.

It's all right, especially if you're a UCD student. If not, you can do better downtown with any food genre.
The açai bowls are pretty good for their relatively cheap price (5.50). I'd recommend splurging 50 more cents on almonds, and putting honey on it (from the coffee bar)

I pretty much only go here for the pizza at this point. As long as the pizza has been cooked fresh, it's some of the best I've had. However if it has been sitting out for too long it's nearly too hard to eat. Make sure the crust is still fluffy before buying

Fresh tasty sushi in a safe way to-go! Staff is very friendly and everyone is following the necessary covid precautions. Glad to be able to come to the Coho again this school year and will be a frequent visitor!!

I asked a staff member if they had any muffins and they told me “what you see is what we have”. Well, I’ve never been here and don’t know your bakery layout and isn’t it your job to help me make a purchase? I feel like asking if they have muffins for sale is a pretty simple question for somewhere which sells baked goods - at least pretend to check for me. Bought a coffee instead and it was mediocre. I do recruiting from this campus and will be bringing my own breakfast next time.

Went for coffee here obe late afternoon and although they have lots of different coffees (self serve) only one was hot this time. Have't been in the morning when i assume all would be hot. Otherwise the service was good. Coffee is so cheap, there is no reason why some carafe would be empty or contain cold coffee. The place was not that busy.
