Cocos, a popular family restaurant chain in Japan, is gearing up to launch its first-ever "Cookie & Cream Fair" on April 8, 2025. This exciting event will showcase a delightful selection of desserts featuring Cocos' original cookie & cream ice cream, a flavor beloved by many.
The fair will offer four distinct menu items, each highlighting the rich, creamy taste of cookie & cream. Among the offerings is the much-anticipated Cookie & Cream Parfait, priced at 1,199 yen (including tax). This dessert is a feast for the senses, combining Cocos' signature cookie & cream ice cream with vanilla ice cream and a creamy cocoa cookie sandwich, all topped with a chocolate macaron. The parfait features layers of crunchy cocoa biscuit chips, moist chocolate brownies, and whipped cream, providing a delightful mix of textures and flavors. A separate cherry sauce, containing dark cherry pieces, adds a sweet and tart contrast, enhancing the overall experience.
Another tempting option is the Cookie & Cream Crepe, available for 649 yen (including tax). This dish wraps fluffy crepes around whipped cream and Cocos' cookie & cream ice cream, complemented by rich chocolate cake and crunchy cocoa cookie pieces. The addition of thick chocolate sauce and crunchy cocoa biscuits provides an exciting flavor and texture contrast, while the cherry sauce adds a sweet-tart note.
For those looking for a smaller treat, the Mini! Cookie & Cream Parfait is priced at 539 yen (including tax). This petite parfait features cookie & cream ice cream, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate cake, and layers of chocolate cream and milk pudding, delivering the classic cookie & cream taste in a more manageable size. Crunchy cocoa biscuit chips add an extra textural element.
Lastly, the Cookie & Cream Ice, priced at 363 yen (including tax), offers a straightforward way to enjoy Cocos' original cookie & cream flavor. This item is served simply, allowing the rich ice cream to shine, paired with crunchy cocoa cookie pieces for added texture.
The Cookie & Cream Fair is set to take place at 506 Cocos locations across Japan, starting on April 8 and running until early May 2025. However, it's important to note that takeout options will not be available during this promotion.
As part of the fair, Cocos will also feature a drink pairing suggestion: Earl Grey tea. The bergamot's rich aroma is said to beautifully complement the sweetness of the cookie & cream desserts, creating a harmonious dining experience.
With its combination of innovative flavors and classic favorites, Cocos' Cookie & Cream Fair promises to be a delightful event for dessert lovers. Diners are encouraged to visit their nearest Cocos location to indulge in these sweet offerings.
As of April 2, 2025, Cocos Japan, led by President Naoya Ichiki, has confirmed that the Cookie & Cream Fair will not be available at airport locations, and those interested should plan their visits accordingly. This event marks a significant moment for the restaurant chain, as it introduces a unique theme that is sure to attract both new and returning customers.
