Cocoon Coffee — Restaurant in Mason

I’ve been to Cocoon Coffee a couple of times now. The staff is always polite and helpful. The few times I’ve gone there’s been only 1 or 2 people working so as expected there is usually a few minute wait to get my order taken and then another couple of minutes before my order was ready. The first time I ordered the ham, egg, and cheese bagel with a hash brown. The hash brown was cold and soggy. The sandwich was just alright. The second time I ordered a bagel with cream cheese (tasted like a bagel with cream cheese). I’ve tried a few of their coffee drinks. The drinks are fine but I do believe the prices are a little too high (ex: $3 for a small black coffee.) The atmosphere is very pleasant. If you are coming in to either chat with a friend or crack open your laptop to work, there are several couches, seats, and work stations available. It’s never been overly crowded on the days I’ve stopped in. If you’re looking to try something different than the big box coffee shops, or just want a quiet, comfortable place to catch up with a friend, you should...

For starters, it doesn't get much better than this for a coffee shop to get work done. It's spacious with office chairs and desks, tons of outlets, good ambiance, a relatively quiet crowd, and you'll feel right at home. The drink menu has some good-looking seasonal drinks plus all the essentials. My plain oat milk latte showed off some good quality espresso. The (seasonal) amaretto latte was very enjoyable -- I like that they pride themselves in not making things very sweet and just letting the flavors/quality pop. I'm definitely excited to come back and try some of their single origin coffees black. They have a couple pastries (paleo primal donuts, scones, muffins) and customizable breakfast bagel sandwiches. The maple sausage, egg, and avocado is my go-to, and it exceeded my expectations the first time I had it. The everything seasoning on avocado makes it interesting, and overall, it meshes well. The baristas are pretty cool. I haven't been to them all yet, but this is my favorite coffee shop in the Mason...

A friend recommended this space for co-working, so I finally made the trip. It's hard to find a coffee shop good for co-working, but this is a good one. The variety of seating is perfect for one person to work or groups of people, making it perfect for freelancers, students and business owners. Or, if you just want to go to see a friend, it's good for that too. There's lots of light in the space & friendly employees. Parking wasn't bad when I got there, but the lot was full by noon.

I enjoyed the coffee, but unfortunately, their wifi didn't work on my first visit. Thankfully I found something to do where I didn't need it, but for the ~20-minute drive, I wish I had found a closer coffee place instead. I'd go here again if I'm up in Mason, but it's too far for me to do regularly. If you are in Mason or West Chester, this is a good northern Cincinnati local coffee...
