Buy a CoCo Crêpes, Waffles & Coffee Franchise

CoCo Crêpes, Waffles & Coffee is a European-style café and quick-service concept built around made-to-order sweet and savory crepes. The all-day menu extends to waffles, specialty coffee, teas, smoothies, gelato, salads and paninis, priced for everyday visits across the breakfast, lunch and dessert dayparts.

The brand opened in Houston in 2005 and bills itself as the city’s oldest creperie, growing to around nine locations across Greater Houston. It operates under Bella Restaurants Group, a Houston hospitality company, and was founded by a chef, keeping the concept chef-driven from recipe development through service.

Units run in a compact 1,200 to 2,000 square foot footprint without a full commercial kitchen, supporting a menu that spans vegetarian to halal options to reach a broad, all-ages customer base. The franchise is offered as single units and as multi-unit area development, with operations currently concentrated in Texas.

Why buy a CoCo Crêpes, Waffles & Coffee Franchise?

Buying a CoCo Crêpes, Waffles & Coffee franchise offers a differentiated, chef-driven café in a coffee and quick-casual category that has stayed resilient across economic cycles. The crepe-based menu, savory and sweet and built for every daypart, gives the concept visual appeal and repeat-visit potential that volume-led fast food rarely matches.

The compact footprint and absence of a full commercial kitchen keep the operating model lighter than a traditional full-service restaurant, while membership in an established system brings recipes, operating manuals and favorable national supplier contracts for main ingredients that an independent café owner would have to negotiate alone. Franchisees also draw on regional marketing support funded through the brand’s marketing program.

CoCo Crêpes, Waffles & Coffee – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    The franchisor provides initial training for the incoming owner, operations manager and staff covering recipes, food preparation and service standards, supported by operating manuals and business-management systems. Ongoing support continues post-opening through training updates for efficiency and profitability, continual culinary and beverage development, regional marketing run by a Corporate Director of Marketing, and supply of main ingredients through favorable national supplier contracts. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and ingredient-supply access carry over to a new owner and staff at handover.

  2. Ideal Owner

    CoCo suits a hands-on owner-operator with restaurant or hospitality management experience who enjoys working front-of-house and leading a small café team. Strong customer focus, attention to brand consistency and quality control, and good knowledge of the local market matter more than culinary training, since recipes and systems are supplied. The model also fits franchise-experienced operators adding a food brand to an existing portfolio, and candidates from business-management or food-industry backgrounds comfortable running a compact, multi-daypart café.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    CoCo has built its recognition mainly through local reputation rather than national franchise rankings, trading on its standing as Houston's oldest creperie and a long-running neighborhood café with a loyal, all-ages following over nearly two decades. Strong word-of-mouth, an active social media presence and consistent customer reviews underpin its position in the Greater Houston market, supported by the operating experience of parent Bella Restaurants Group. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews, referral sources and community visibility.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US specialty coffee market is forecast to grow at a 9.5% annual rate between 2025 and 2030, reaching about $81.8 billion (Grand View Research), reflecting steady demand for higher-quality café experiences at accessible prices. Within this, all-day café concepts that combine coffee with fresh, customizable and visually distinctive food are taking share from standard fast food. CoCo's pairing of specialty coffee with sweet and savory crepes sits in this segment, though resale buyers should weigh national trends against a unit's local competition and daypart demand.
