It's been eight months since Koko Bakery announced that it was opening a satellite location on Coventry. And now we know that opening day will be Thursday, December 16th. The location is the former Piccadilly Artisan Yogurt (1767 Coventry Rd.) space next door to Pacific East.

Koko Bakery (3710 Payne Ave., 216-881-7600) has been attracting customers to its Asiatown shop for more than 15 years thanks to a brilliant selection of fresh-baked buns, colorful fruit tarts, cakes and pastries, hot lunches and delicious bubble tea.

Owner Jian Xu says that the Coventry location will be nearly identical to the original in terms of items offered. Those items will be made on site as well. There is seating for dine-in enjoyment.

“A lot of American people come to my store and enjoy our pastry and buns, so we are opening the one on Coventry to let the people enjoy more of the best bubble teas and pastry,” says Xu.
