CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice

I’ve been to a couple other locations and always got the Grapefruit Green Tea with boba. I really looove this drink and one day was craving some after work. I thought I would need to drive to Sawtelle to get some, but a quick Unilocal review showed that there were two locations in DTLA. I ordered online using Eat24 and started driving to pick up my drink. There was nowhere to park around 4PM and of course there was traffic. I own up to my own bad timing, yes. However, the quality of their boba was subpar and I was not satisfied at all. The boba was pretty mushy and just didn’t taste good. I’ll think twice before coming here again.

I come here a lot– I work nearby and need the morale boost. It’s not very caffeinated tea, but their teas are consistently tasty and their boba is always delicious. It’s also reasonably priced. I have yet to be disappointed with a drink. The workers are always very friendly too. The only issue might be that trying to sit and study in the space is a little noisy and it can be chilly in there when it’s cold out. Great otherwise though!

I love the Taro Milk Tea from Coco, they are the best!
A few months ago, my coworker walked into the office with a Coco drink in hand and she told me about this boba place just opened down the street. The following day, we went together again and I myself got a taro milk tea, it was so good!
The best part about Coco is that you can request how much sugar you want in the drink (example: 25% or 50%). There was a large request from the customer before us and the drink mixer person was nice enough to ask us what we wanted while the cashier person was taking the person order’s, I thought that was very considerate of him.
Ever since then, I have been here a few times and all of my experiences were very pleasant. A good hangout spot nearby would be the Pershing Square so go check it out after grabbing some boba here!

Coworker wanted to order from CoCo Fresh so I decided to give it another try. Sad to say, ordering through Postmates again was a fail! They got 3 out of the 5 orders wrong! However, my order was right this time! :D Simple, Large House Milk Tea with No Ice. ^_^
What We Ordered VS. What We Received
— Large House Milk Tea/​/​Received: Medium House Milk Tea with Boba and Pudding
— Medium House Milk Tea with Red Bean, 30% Less Sugar/​/​Received: with 100% Sugar
— Medium Taro Milk Tea with Red Bean, 30% Less Sugar/​/​Received: Medium House Milk Tea with Red Bean, 30% Less Sugar (It was labeled Taro… so no confusion with the order above.)
Please TRIPLE check all orders before releasing them out. My coworkers are really upset. :(I feel bad but, there’s nothing I can do. She tried to call to complain but, no one picked up the phone. It just kept on ringing.

I was so happy they opened a Coco near my home! I always enjoy their matcha latte drink with or without pudding. I recently tried their house milk tea. It’s very milky and sweet but I find it tasty. I am always so lucky to beat the line when I come here. I knocked off a star for their credit card minimum and 50 cent coupon drink minimum.

I ordered the Mango Slush with Coconut Jelly. Yum. Not super sweet, but sweet enough. It’s pretty empty today, but it’s a nice place. Have decals of the Downtown LA buildings on the walls. My friend ordered the Tropical which is Passion Fruit tea (green tea) with Boba and coconut jelly. I thought it was pretty good too.

$ 4 for one medium size is pretty good. I tried my friend’s drink, Mango Slush, and my drink, Tropical Special. I like both. Mango Slush is not too sweet but it tastes good. Located near library, by Pershing Square station. Simple place.

I have no problems with another CoCo fresh opening in DTLA. I hope they continue to open closer and closer to my office until there’s a full saturation of locations in every building and I no longer have to walk to get my sweet fix of grapefruit green tea boba.

All you need in your life is a grapefruit yogurt boba. You can moderate the amount of sugar and ice that goes into your drink, so DO IT. (I think they use Yakult!)
Their milk tea is also excellent for those who don’t like grapefruit.

Amazing Mango Green Tea — even at 30% sweet! The drink tastes like it’s made with fresh mangos! Been trying to find a replacement back in Texas at various boba places and have been disappointed 100% of the time.
Coco, we’ll meet again.

I was so happy when I found out they opened a CoCo’s walking distance from my work in DTLA. There are basically no options for good boba in DTLA, so this was a nice addition. The only bad thing is that I feel this place doesn’t get as much business as they deserve. Its location is in a very business-​y area (right in the financial district), and not to stereotype but I assume most of the demographic prefers to drink coffee over milk tea. I can make this observation because most of the time when I walk by the store, it’s pretty empty. However, I’m not complaining because that means less wait time for me!
I’ve been to many CoCo’s location already (Westwood, Sawtelle, Arcadia), and this one is comparable. My go-​to drink is the 2 Ladies (Milk tea w/​boba & pudding). I love CoCo’s because their milk tea is different than other boba places. It genuinely tastes like tea with the perfect amount of sweetness for me. I mean, if this is Taiwan’s most famous milk tea place, then I can safely say their milk tea is high quality.

I only gave this 3 stars because this is one of those businesses that think it’s okay to charge their customers a fee if they do not meet the $ 4 minimum when using a credit/​atm. THAT’S BS!!! Business owners should read their credit card policies– you are not suppose to do that to your customers!!! When a business does this I feel swindled! And you should too if you go to any establishments that do this!
That aside, I recommend the two ladies. It’s an iced coffee boba drink with custard.
But COCO if you are reading this, change the way you do business that’s not right– people work hard for their $$$ if you want $$$ then earn the respect of your customers so we don’t feel swindled! Not sure I’ll go back.

Finally, a decent Asian tea shop in DtLA. Coco Fresh is known brand around the world with over 2000+locations. This tea shop is like the Asian Starbucks that serves up iced, milk teas and juices. It’s located at the Pac Mutual Building right across Pershing Square with ample seating. The grapefruit green tea is my go to drink here served with fresh grapefruit juice. For $ 0.40 more, you can add lychee jellies for more sweetness.
Service here is quick. Pricing here is bit pricey for what it is. A large grapefruit green tea is just a shade under $ 5.

I really really wanted to like this place, but the answer is NO! They are a tea house that does not serve Thai tea, which is the first sign I should have walked out. I ordered the Milk tea, with pudding and it was not recognizable as «milk tea» It had no flavor and tasted more like watered down creamer.
This place is trying to hard to be hip, and trying hard enough to offer a good product. There are other places in Downtown that are much better.

TL;DR — YUMMY
Ok. So normally I’m not too into places that use milk tea powder (sorry Tapex, Quicklys and Verde). However, CoCo had totally changed that for me. The jasmine milk tea is my default at every boba place, and it was decent at CoCo. Not as much tea flavor as I would normally like, but its super creamy!
I wasn’t really convinced of CoCo’s greatness until I tried the regular milk tea. Jesus, hold my hand, that is DELICIOUS! Its creamy and sweet and everything I want in regular black milk teas! I think from now on CoCo will be my go to black milk tea place. I don’t even care if they use powder: D I’m really lovin’ the CoCo!

I love boba~this place is awesome. Located right next to Pershing Square. I got the orange creamsicle from the secret menu :) ask for it!!!

I have been waiting almost 8 years for downtown to have an official tasty and legit boba shop… and its finally here. With all new shops popping up everywhere I stumbled upon this place on my way to another place. Walked in and it was perfect!
The shop has great décor with plenty of seating for everyone. Very «hip» feel to the shop with very clear menu options and signage.
The milk tea boba I got was perfect, not too sweet and very refreshing as well. The cashier was real nice and the guy making my drink made sure it tasted good before I left the shop. Very friendly people makes for much better experiences at any store/​shop.
Located on Olive along the Biltmore Hotel is the perfect location since I work around the area. Literally a 5 minute (or less) walk for me.

Everyone’s happy that there’s a new boba place near their work! & that’s great! But I don’t actually think the boba here is really that great. I definitely think it’s the best you can get around the area, but not the best in town!
The store itself is spacious, but it’s boring. There is no decorations. Just a gray couch, with white tables and chairs… I think this could be a great study area (just saying because I am a college student) but there aren’t any outlets to do so. I’m not sure about wifi either. Everything seems a little minimal to me.
The customer service was mediocre. Wasn’t great, but wasn’t bad either.

Finally, a boba place across the street from work. I knew it would happen one day soon!
It’s kind of hard to miss when driving by you won’t miss it when walking by. It’s actually quite spacious so it’s a good please to hang with friends and drink boba.
Menu is quite small but they do have all the basics. My taro milk tea was just the right sweetness and I added coconut jelly. Prices are all below $ 5 so it’s easy on the wallet.
Perfect for a hot day — I’ll be back soon, again and again. Oh, and don’t forget to get a loyalty card!

«I’m in love with the CoCo!»
Milk teas are the blood line of life. If I had an endless stomach I would run a line of that Cream Green Tea straight to my mouth. I should probably buy their stock and be an investor because I’m here (South Park location) pretty much everyday now I can walk to Pershing Square location from work. I’ll have to set up a tent inside to just sleep there so I can wake up to a fresh cup of Cream Green Tea daily. Ah what life that would be.
