Coco Sweet’s Tapioca & Juice Shoppe

They make some great Pandan waffles! Crunchy on the outside and warm and fluffy on the inside. I was amazed to find some strips of coconut meat in there as well. $ 2.25 plus tax. I can’t say I’ve tried the other stuff there which I’m not sure I would really like anyways. The shop itself is very small so it can get congested real quick. Last time I came here, this woman decided to bring her big HK shopping cart inside… I’m like are you kidding me? But she got out of there real quick. Expect a little wait though… especially if they are busy. And waiting inside can be a pain. I feel like it’s cash only… but I could be wrong. Just always bring cash in Bellaire!

Wannabe Bambu place. Waited AGES (20+ minutes) for our order since there’s only one person actually making the drinks and waffles.

I always get passion fruit here. It’s delicious. And I really want to try the crepes some day!

I’ve only been here once and I am in love! There waffles are delicious and huge, we got a pandan and a strawberry one. We had to wait a little longer for the strawberry one, but it was worth it. I also got the Milky Way drink which was super good if you like milk tea and caramel.
I definitely recommend getting a waffle because I’m forsure getting one every time I come back! And since I went with friends I only have a few more stamps to get a free drink. Only need to buy 6 for 1 free drink: D

What makes this place special are the waffles. I have never had anything like it before. It is nice and crispy on the outside and gooey soft on the inside. The only bad thing is that they don’t accept credit cards and sometimes we had a few occasions where the service was quite long. However, I always make sure I stop by when I visit Bellaire.

This place is located in the Hong Kong City Mall. Yes, not the nicest place nowadays, but there are still a few gems. Coco Sweet’s is one of those gems.
I was referred here by my boyfriend’s brother and wife. They recommended to get the pandan waffle. As you walk in, you can smell the aroma of fresh crepes/​bread/​waffles in the making.
When we received the pandan waffle, the outside was the right amount of brown and crisp. The inside was soft and chewy with chunks of coconut as you bite your way through. It was so good that I stop in for one every time I’m in the area.
For ~$ 3 for a pretty good size waffle, it’s definitely worth it.

Love the waffles here. But service needs to be improved, ive been here since the grand opening and it been the same ever since day 1.
Heads up, order something and come back half hour later. Your order *might* be done by then lol. Already had 2 – 3 people called but i came in and ordered before them.

Flavored waffles are theeeeeeeeee best here… super crispy & huge!!!
My favorite is taro & pandan.
I gave it 4 stars because it does take awhile for your waffles to be made but nonetheless you won’t be disappointed!

This place is average. Similar to Bambu and all the other che places. What makes this place different and stand out is its panda waffle. One of the best I’ve had. It’s crunchy and you can taste the panda flavor without it being too overbearing. The Lychee Explosion was okay, could have more flavor. Tastes a little bland to me. A little like flavored water… I feel like it would have been better if it was a Lychee slushie with all of the other ingredients in it. I did get some fruit peelings or something that was not edible in my drink… the wait was okay but the place was so hot! It was like a desert in there and they only had one fan for the staff behind the counter. I could feel myself melting away in the Houston heat plus the no AC of the place.

The Hong Kong 4 Supermarket use to be hit back in the days and lately I feel like it’s dying. There’s only a few restaurants in there I would like to visit, therefore while I’m there I would love to get dessert! This little shop in here is definitely a gem! It has tapioca drinks, Vietnamese Che, crepes, flavored waffles, and the list goes on! I love how much variety it had and they are all good! Shocker?! Because Vietnamese dessert places who have such a big menu usually don’t always taste great, but this place is! I love their mixed fruit tea! Most fruit teas I tried have huge chunks of fruit but I like the fact that I can drink my straw and still get fruit as well. The consistency and flavor of the tapioca is yummy too! (I’m definitely a tapioca ball snob too) my absolute favorite thing here are the waffles. Oh my gosh they have such a variety, but I like to stay with the classic pandan waffle. It’s huge and it’s perfectly crispy on the outside and nice and soft in the inside. Prices are all great too so of course I would rather get my dessert fix here rather than other places when visiting inside the mall.

It’s a good thing that I live no where near this place because I would be here every single day. Tried the mixed berry crêpe with a scoop of green tea icecream and it was delicious. Not overly sweet which is a huge plus. The crêpe itself was thin and not chewy and thick like Coco’s crepes. Also had the Vietnamese bean dessert, DELICIOUS. Definitely going to come back here next time i’m in the neighborhood.

I love this place. Its easy, simple, good and cheap! Honestly, their crêpe is just as good or even better than sweet paris.
I got the mixed berry crêpe and it was delicious! I also got the jasmine milk tea and a mango smooth which were also good.

Finally, a place in Houston that sells crepes in cone form! Other than the crepes and the pandan waffles, this place is definitely reminiscent of Bambu. It’s located in HK mall in Bellaire and it definitely stands out from the shops in there since it looks renovated and modernized.
My friend and I stumbled upon this place while walking through HK mall and decided to try it, especially after seeing advertising pictures outside of their delicious looking crepes!
We ordered two crepes, and we also had the option of getting it on a plate or in a cone. Of course we wanted to experience a cone! They had about 4 – 5 options for crêpe flavors. I ended up getting a strawberry banana with green tea ice cream and my friend got a strawberry crêpe with Nutella and chocolate ice cream. It was a pleasant surprise when we found out they included a scoop of ice cream in each crêpe and it made me even happier that they had an option of green tea ice cream being the green tea fanatic that I am.
First flaw: they do not take card, only cash. There was no sign indicating this when we walked in and the cashier told us after we put in our order. Thank god I had cash on hand to cover us but an fyi for anyone planning to come here in the future.
Like many crêpe places, they had a window where you can watch them make it. Looking at the menu, they had a variety of juices and sinkers that were reminiscent of Bambu. What was different were the pandan waffles, which I am definitely trying next time I come here.
Both crepes took about 5 – 10 minutes to make. They put both cones in plastic cups with spoons, which was really considerate because when you start eating this thing, the ice cream starts to melt and all different types of crêpe contents start seeping out from this cone. It’s definitely inevitable so don’t freak out like I did when I started seeing green tea ice cream sadly dripping into my cup.
With every crêpe, they also include Pocky sticks according to your flavor of ice cream which I thought was so adorable.
These things are also intimidatingly huge. You kinda sit there wondering how you’re going to conquer this monster of a crêpe and you definitely start to question your life when that ice cream starts melting and seeping through. It’s definitely something you have to eat quickly but let me tell you, it was pretty good. It was a decently made crêpe and the contents were delicious but second flaw, in my opinion, was that they stayed putting too much ice cream and whip and not enough fruit in the crêpe. It was something that was super enjoyable from the beginning and then you find yourself asking «what happened» towards the end. All of the fruit is at the top of the crêpe and there is just pure whip and ice cream towards the bottom.
Overall, it’s an experience. From what I know, I haven’t discovered another place in Houston that assembles crepes into cones (I mean let’s face it yall: Cali takes the crown for innovative food) so this place adds a different element to the usual crêpe scene in Houston. Also, they have a good selection of drinks and sinkers if you’re craving. The place is still new and clean and the staff speaks good english.
Definitely come here for the experience and a twist on a traditional crêpe!

Waffles are a delightful creation. Brussels waffles, liege waffles, Eggo waffles, Asian waffles. Picking a favorite is like choosing among your children (let’s be real, everyone plays favorites. If you don’t KNOW you’re the favorite, then you’re not.), but Asian waffles might take the cake for me. The flavors are weird, and I mean that in a good way.
I had the pandan waffle, made fresh upon ordering, so it came out soft and piping hot. Pandan was everywhere growing up in Singapore, and I’m a snob when it comes to pandan flavored desserts. The waffle batter has mochi in it, and I’m not quite sure how this is achieved, but when you bite into the middle, you’ll find ooey gooey mochi. It’s nothing short of awesome. I haven’t tried a crêpe yet, but it’ll have to wait until I’ve worked my way through the taro and durian waffles.
They close at 8 PM, which makes it tough to have dinner in Chinatown before rushing here in time, but this is the best dessert you can get for only a few bucks.

I’ve tried the che, forgot which one but I feel like they’re trying to be like Bambu and their che doesn’t taste good at all, too sweet. Their milk tea and jasmine green tea isn’t good either, lacks flavor and taste watery. The only thing I like is their pandan waffle but after a couple of bites i get tired of it too. The service is always slow and the girls up front seems kind of dingy like they don’t know what they’re doing. Come on, all your making is drinks and che and it takes 15min to give it to me when you aren’t even busy
**UPDATE 12/​16/​14**
So I stopped by today because I saw someone with a good looking drink from there and decided to try it. I ordered the number 75 which was orange juice mixed with fruit bits. Let me tell you it was the biggest mistake and waste of $ 4.28 I spent. Not sure if it’s freshly squeezed orange juice, it did appeared to be but the drink was so tasteless like straight up water with just tiny fruits. It had no flavor. I guess it was healthy for me :/​but I’m not coming back anymore! No good

I’ve been here a couple times now and the first thing you notice is the sweet aroma of waffle/​crêpe batter.
The pricing is on the higher end of the spectrum as the other tapioca places, I believe they brew on the spot (prepare for a wait). The tea isn’t bad, but the tapioca I’ve had trouble with consistency. They also offer Che, smoothies, waffles, and crêpe.
I tired their a ¼ of their taro and it was good. The presentation of crêpe looked good as well

We went there last night because i was craving for crêpe. I told the hubby we should go to Coco at midtown, indeed my guts is right, service is slow poor and cannot follow simple instruction! Number 10 crêpe is ok not great! I will never go back because of poor service! I gave 1 star not for the food its for the very poor service!
Tip; if u want good service go to Midtown
If u want vietnamese deserts go to Bambu!

REVIEW OF THEIR BOBA ONLY: Haven’t tried their waffles or crepes, but it looks good though! Looks like they have a lot of che options. Got their milk tea (but made it coffee milk tea). Tasted like ice water with a tiny hint of tea. My bf ordered the watermelon slush. It also tasted bland. We didn’t even finish close to half of the drink & had to throw it away. And if you knew me, I DO NOT waste boba. I really wanted to like this place, but it was a disappointment. I MIGHT give them another chance and order their desserts, but for boba I might just walk a few steps down the hall & get Teahouse instead.

Heaven in a waffle?
Stopped in with some girlfriends and they swore this was the best. It’s an assortment of desserts from waffles to boba.
They ordered the La Dua (#1) which is also called Panda. It’s a waffle that they mixe with a green fruit.
I had the plain waffle with Nutlella.
Both were good but def going with the Panda next time. The waffle mix is not your standard waffle. It has a moist chewy middle — WN! And they are only $ 2.75.
The place closes @ 8 pm and is closed one day during the week so make sure they are open.
I am definitely hitting this spot again.
Who knew I would love waffles as a dessert? d

Basing this off of my first experience today. I’ll be back for sure, and I’ll update my review if need be!
The cashier was friendly although she didnt smile much. The other lady was even more friendly and quick to help take care of my order.
I got the durian waffle or banh kep sau rieng. I could smell the waffle when they were making it. It smelled sooo delicious! The waffle came out piping hot which i liked. The outside was crispy. The inside was doughy and chewy? I’ve had a pandan waffle before and the inside wasnt like that. I’m not sure if thats how its supposed to be but its still delicious. There were pieces of coconuts in the batter for texture. The size of the waffle was as big as my face! Definitely something to share. I finished the entire thing by myself, and i was full.
I didnt have a problem with a long wait because it was a Monday afternoon, and there was only one other person ahead of me. Im scared to go back on a weekend lol. A waffle takes at least four minutes to cook and theres a cooling time.
The place smells yummy because off the waffles! Its small and a little cramped with the tables. Clean for the most part aside from customers not cleaning up after themselves. I cant imagine what its like on a busy day.
Everything on the menu looked appetizing, and i will be back to try the crepes and drinks!
One negative thing is that its cash only. Theres no sign stating that. They should put one up.
