DiCocoa's — Restaurant in Bethel

Wedding cake ordered. Agreed on cake and delivery to top of Sunday River. (can I give NEGATIVE -10)?? No issue. A month before the wedding, bride gets a call from bakery...We won't deliver cake. "We didn't know about some function happening in Bethel and that's more important than your wedding cake." SERIOUSLY THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD THE BRIDE!! Then LOTS of trying to reach this bakery to get nowhere. Messages not returned...never open...never answer phone... Sunday River Wedding coordinator had to call and work out cake delivery. She had a difficult time reaching this place... Cake was delivered, to the BOTTOM of the lift and left with Coordinator who asked "You are not going to transport your creation to the top, you are going to leave it with me to do?" the answer was "yes. we don't care". SO the cake arrived and was fine...until it was cut. I have never been so put off by cake. The actual cake served to the bride and groom was fresh and good. The sheet cake provided for guests was not fit for the pigs. It was DRY and hard and spoons bounced off of it. INEDIBLE. The staff forewarned me the frosting was terrible, tasted like whipped cream with butter, period. They said the cake was terrible. I had no idea until I received my piece. I cannot even describe it. Maybe egg mixed with flour and baked? Or maybe water and cornmeal? DRY, hard, inedible. Worst cake I've ever encountered. Guests agreed. (at least the wedding personal cake was edible to the bride and groom)... nothing else was. The cake tasted like it was FROZEN for months IF NOT YEARS...and full of freezer burn. I cannot describe the awfulness. KUDOS to Sunday River for requesting we order a back up dessert!!! ...

What an absolutely adorable and charming place with an equally sweet and charming owner. We stopped in recently when visiting the area as hubby is always and forever seeking chocolate chip cookies. It was almost closing time and sadly there were no cookies left so we did take a bagel to go. We do not eat bagels often as we are foodies with very high expectations, however let me tell you that the cheddar pepper bagel was the best bagel I have hands down ever had in my life. So far there had been only 1 place in NJ that we would eat a bagel from and this bagel was other worldly. I do not know what she does but it was the perfect mix of a crisp exterior and a soft, beyond fresh and fluffy inside. We went back the next morning first thing before getting on the road to head home and luckily were able to get cookies and more bagels to go. ( good thing as right after us there was a line out the door) The chocolate chip cookies were also some of the best we have had- hubby is still talking about them. This place is a true gem and we cannot wait to go back the next time we are in the area. I wish I had tried the gelato but will have to wait until next time....

Craving something sweet, I came across DiCocoa’s while walking down Main St exploring. This business is a residential house storefront style really enhancing the feelings of being away in a quaint Maine town. Porch seating available with a walk-up window inside where you place your order. I inquired about the fan favorite flavors and Blueberry was one of the top contenders. While it was very good, it tasted more like Vanilla ice cream with a couple of blueberries in it. More blueberries with a creamier gelato texture would be preferred. Next we tried the Peanut Butter Fudge gelato which was very good and nutty with the gelato texture. Great place to grab a cold treat or create an ice cream sandwich with your choice of...
