Coo Coo's Gourmet Coffee Cafe — Restaurant in Henderson

My family and I received a voucher for a free item at this restaurant from our spectacular Realtor. I wasn't sure when we were going to use it because we live in the far Northwest part of the city and normally, when we want to visit Henderson, we plan to make it a somewhat all-day event in that city. Honestly, I thought we were going to let that voucher expire because I had no intentions of visiting Henderson anytime before the expiration date. Well, the tide had turned and our weekend plans, specifically on 27 Apr 2024 were left wide open...so my wife and I decided to take a road trip to Henderson.

We arrived ~1:00 pm and were shocked, yet thankful that the parking lot wasn't full and neither was the restaurant. I have zero doubts that this restaurant gets busy often, but for the sake of it being our first visit here, I'm glad that it wasn't busy at all...I wanted some time to look at their menu without feeling like I'm being rushed by impatient customers. The fact that we were starving didn't help either because everything sounded scrumptious. Aside from the hunger pains, we opted for the Ultimate Bagel Sandwich, Breakfast Burrito, Belgian Waffle Breakfast Plate, and a couple of drip coffees.

The food was magnificent! I was a little disappointed with the size of the Breakfast Burrito because in my mind, I was picturing a large burrito like you'd get at some of those Mexican restaurants. But considering the price of the burrito, it was adequate. The Ultimate Bagel Sandwich was outstanding...the Dijonnaise provided that perfect balance of flavors with the ham, tomato, eggs, cheese, and crispy bacon. The waffle was light and fluffy; we were appreciative that this restaurant utilized fresh fruit without all that fruit syrup added to the waffle/fruit. The whole meal tasted natural, fresh, and satisfying...even the fresh fruit cup was extraordinary.

The service was on par; the employees were very friendly and efficient. The prices of their food are adequate - I can't imagine anyone complaining about the prices at this restaurant unless they're one that loves to complain nonstop. I am grateful for this business and their continued support to the active men and women of the Armed Forces, to include its Veterans - thank you for this! I'm glad that we took the time to drive out to this restaurant because it was well worth it. I am especially thankful for our Realtor/friend for providing us a reason to travel to this area and experience this wonderful gem of a restaurant. Of noteworthy mention, the restaurant's décor provided a great feel/vibe to the overall dining experience. I've provided pictures so you can see it, but I suggest you visit in person and see for yourself - eat some quality food while you're there too. Highly recommend this restaurant...

Apparently this little eatery has been at this location for eons, but it somehow managed to slip under my personal radar. After having a late lunch with friends at Coo Coo's Gourmet Cafe one day, I promised myself I would go back again soon . . . I did. For me, Coo Coo's is reminiscent of the sidewalk cafes so prevalent throughout Europe where I emigrated from more than half a century ago. The proprietor keeps this charming little part-cafe, part-deli, part-restaurant, part-bistro invitingly clean and sparkling while allowing the day's delicious aromas to remain fresh in the restaurant's atmosphere. The bright and sunny Spring day offered us the choice between sitting inside at one of the tables draped with red and white checkered cloths or enjoying our meal outside in the breezey, open air at one of the little wrought- iron tables. So much for Coo Coo's physical characteristics and atmosphere. The menu, while simple, is just right, yet way above average, for a casual coffee / sandwich shop. And the sandwiches are definitely something to write home about; nothing at all like those franchised sandwich establishments where all of their menu items taste pretty much the same. Finally, the overall experience of each and every visit has been memorably splendid! I sincerely hope that a recent rumor of Coo Coo's closing or moving is...

Permanently CLOSED SUPPORT LOCAL they say… Been coming here on & off since 2005 USED to be soooo friendly and huge delicious portions, but everything changes & prices go up, rent increases etc etc Let’s get the bad out of the way, no friendly hello from the gal at the register. (went 10 days ish ago and went again today, same mediocre, crappy attitude) BUT my sandwich was definitely made by someone who cares! I opened the container and said to my 21 year old daughter “now this made with love” she agreed & said “maybe the sandwich maker should work the front counter” 😆 Anyways, I think they must have a new owner, cause I don’t see the guy in there anymore, always two girls. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Last visit they had a sign on the door carry out only, but there was a man eating inside, clearly a regular & “rules” must not apply to him No explanation why carry out only, just a let me get your damn order so I can get you out of here attitude.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give the gal who made my sandwich today a raise! Hell give the girl taking the orders, and the money a raise too, maybe her attitude will change. I usually get a delicious wrap but today the Philly Sandwich is my new favorite! My daughter always gets the breakfast burrito! Thank you person who cared today, made my craving for an Italian sub...
