Previously this corner shop used to serve herbal teas and herbal eggs. No one can escape that herbal concoction smell when you walk past.Now the unnoticeable grim corner has been replaced by Coco Fresh drinks, unmissable being bright orange.Before it opened, it stood out already but I couldn’t quite guess whether it was drinks or a froyo joint.Finally Coco opened, so I came during its first few days of business and there was a promotion going on.For every cup of Taiwanese tea with pearls you get
Now the unnoticeable grim corner has been replaced by Coco Fresh drinks, unmissable being bright orange.
Before it opened, it stood out already but I couldn’t quite guess whether it was drinks or a froyo joint.
Finally Coco opened, so I came during its first few days of business and there was a promotion going on.
For every cup of Taiwanese tea with pearls you get a free green tea with cream on top, essentially buy one get one free.
The Taiwanese tea was only $13 so I paid $13 for two big cups of drinks at 500cc.
There were staffs from Taiwan to train the locals and a big sign promoting their current offers.
The pearl tea was ok, not too sweet, but then all Taiwanese drinks can be personalised these days with the level of sweetness and the amount of ice you want.
The green tea with the milk cap tasted ok too, except the cream was not as thick as Gong Cha, it was more like foamy milk.
The design printed on the cup is interesting, instead of volume markings, it has a Taipei building with various heights representing different volumes, although it is meaningless ie ABCD’s.
I was also surprised that they have a branch in New York too! People holding drinks with the Taipei tower printed on the cup in the big apple!
