IF YOU WANT TO BE DISCRIMINATED/ RACIAL PROFILED, COME TO THIS BUBBLE TEA PLACE AS YOU WISH. Starting off, I would've given this place a -5 star if I could. Here's the story from yesterday: My boyfriend (black) and I went to order some bubble tea. He went to the bathroom but discovered that he needed a key to get in. The employee just walked past him without asking him if he needed the key (when obviously he needed it that's why he was there). Soon after, my boyfriend realized that he left his phone in the car so he went to grab it. While he was gone, the male employee handed me TWO drinks. There, you would assume it was for TWO customers. When my boyfriend came back, he sat across me which the male employee saw. However, when my boyfriend went to ask for the key to the bathroom, the male employee just pointed at the key and said "it's over there" WHEN THE KEY WAS BEHIND THE COUNTER WHERE THE EMPLOYEE SHOULD HAND IT TO THE CUSTOMER. Here's where the juicy part is. The owner (not sure if it was the owner, but I believe the person in charge) told her employees (a male and a female) in Mandarin, "Don't let people who are not customers use the bathroom because they're gonna messed up the bathroom or steal the key. If they asked, just refuse them and tell them to go to starbucks next door." She said all this in a way that she thought my boyfriend would do the same. If she didn't assume that my boyfriend was gonna do anything to the bathroom, she wouldn't have brought it up to her employees. When my boyfriend came back from the bathroom, I told him what they said and he went up to confront them, but of course they said they didn't. So I stepped up and confronted them in Mandarin as they were shocked that I understood it since I ordered in English and have a black boyfriend. I asked them, "Why can't he use the bathroom? He's a customer." The owner: "Oh I didn't know he was because I was in the back." I pointed at the male employee: "Then you should've told her that you saw that he was a customer instead of just standing there and letting her talk sh*t." Male employee: "I didn't know." BRUH he did not just say "I didn't know" when he clearly saw my boyfriend sat down across from me. The owner: "I was just telling my employees that if there is a person who's not a customer, don't let them use the bathroom because there have been homeless people coming in. I wasn't talking about your boyfriend." Me: "So you're assuming he's homeless and will mess up the bathroom? It doesn't matter what you said because he is a customer and is allowed to use the bathroom according to your rules." Literally if she didn't think my boyfriend looked homeless, why would she bring it up? like she was worried the store was gonna get messed up. Plus, he looked/dressed no where like he was homeless. Female employee: "I told her (the owner) that he was a customer." BULLSH*T. I was listening to the whole conversation and did not hear her say sh*t. I bet if it was an Asian or white customer that came in, they would've just let him/her use the bathroom without saying all this sh*t, and the owner wouldn't have even said anything to her employees in a hatred way. AND the male employee would've HANDED THE KEY to the CUSTOMER LIKE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO. After all this, they did not even apologize. Literally based on her logic, no one is allowed to use the bathroom because how would they know exactly who is a customer when it's busy? The bathroom is literally just a decoration. 2019, people are still racial profiling people. It's ridiculous. read more

I ordered jasmine milk tea with grass jelly and it was delicious. I would ask for less ice and more sugar. It was quite crowded so the wait was long. The staff was going as fast as they could so I don't blame them. Parking can be difficult. We parked off street right in front of the Courtyard Marriott hotel entrance. read more

My My My! If you know me, you know I LIVE for bubble tea. I'm writing this review quite late, I've been here multiple times since their opening and since my first time but I thought they deserve a review regardless. The location is weird: its connected to a hotel, next to a Subway, right before you get on the freeway and if you make the wrong turn, well it's probably game over at that point. The first time I came here they ran out of straws and I thought that was freaken absurd because what kind of boba shop runs out of straws. The server was really confused and didn't understand what we needed so that was a bummer but the bubble tea was great after figuring out the whole straw situation. Since my first encounter I've been back twice and haven't had any issues with the straws or the tea for that matter. Would go back but would absolutely love it if it was in a better location. My go to is the 3 guys! read more

CoCo Bubble Tea - 2 Large 3 guys, 70% sweet with regular ice! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Great service and even better bubble tea! I order on for dash all the time! Must try!

Ya ya ya, finally a Coco in the Seattle area! Let me preface this by saying that this Coco isn't actually IN SEATTLE, so their Facebook page "coco fresh tea & juice Seattle" can be a bit misleading. I love coco! It tastes just like boba in Asia just with an expensive price tag. I'd go for the pearl milk tea or the mango yakult or even (surprise I usually hate Taro) the taro with boba. No matter how picky you are, I'm sure you'll find something to love here. Beware, you gotta have the patience to wait in line for decent boba in America. There's typically a line out the door! read more

CoCo Bubble Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Whenever I'm in Bellevue, I always find myself coming here. It gets pretty busy in the evening and there are a few tables inside. I usually get the passion fruit green tea or the jasmine milk tea. Both refreshing, just depends on what I'm in the mood for. Overall, a pretty solid bubble tea place. read more

CoCo Bubble Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I really wanted to like this place and tried it several times to give it a fair evaluation, but I just feel like it doesn't live up to all of the raving reviews. The drinks are super sweet and the classic teas taste more artificial than I like. Also, the drinks are a bit overpriced for the quality of drinks. There are other tea places around, so I hope CoCo Fresh will work on the quality of drinks so that they can keep up with the competition. read more

This is the first time we've had CoCo in the US. We used to only have it whenever we drove up to Canada. I appreciate the fact that we have a location close to home, because most bubble tea shops do not carry sago - my favorite topping! My go to order: fresh grapefruit green tea with say. Light ice and zero sugar. I definitely recommend it, but advise to adjust sugar levels to your liking. . . . . . . . . . . Heads up: Since this place is pretty popular, be ready to wait a while for your order. read more

Before I begin my review, let me warn you: if you're not a person who will wait for a cup of bubble tea, this is not the place for you. Right after I opened the door, a long line welcomed me, so I decided to turn on the timer. The amount of time it takes from entering the store until I get my drink: 44 mins. Yes, the hype is real. I guess this place is fairly new. I ordered a large pearl milk tea, which costs me $4.95. As a person who usually dislikes pearl/boba, I have to admit that CoCo's pearls are good. It's neither too hard nor to soft to chew. One of my friend said that CoCo has a great boba, and I agree to that statement after I tried this one. However, if you're like me, a person who is not a fan of drinks that are too sweet, I would suggest you to adjust the sweetness of the drink since their drinks are on the sweeter side. They have 4 sweetness level: 0%, 30%, 50%, 100%, so go for 30% (or 0%) if you want your drink to be not too sweet. Also, go for less ice, it tastes better. I guess I'll come back after two months because I want to see whether the crowd is still huge or not. Until now, just read my warning above. read more

I am a BIG fan of Coco! I especially love their boba. Their boba is chewy. I also like their milk tea. I hope they will open one in Seattle too. read more

CoCo Bubble Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

CoCo is a great boba shop with consistently fresh taste! I ordered the classic Pearl Milk Tea, which tastes more milky than tea flavored compared to other boba shops. I usually don't order pearls but I really like CoCo's so I made sure to get them. The service was fast as well (I came in the early afternoon over the weekend). I'll definitely come again! read more

I've come here a few times, always to pick up boba to take out. The space is pretty big and has aesthetic decor for those Instagram shots as well as seating and tables. They have a good selection of beverages and are able to satisfy sugar level orders ranging from 0% to 100% within my friend group. My favorite has been the roasted milk tea. I usually don't get milk teas and opt for nondairy options as I'm a little lactose intolerant, but I think the roasted flavor goes really well with milk. Overall, a solid boba choice for the area. read more

i've tried this place a few times bc it's near my work. it's just so average, or even below average. i've never had a boba from here and said, "mm, wow, this is delicious!" as i do with other places. instead, i'm always like, "oh hmm well i guess i have satiated my bubble tea craving." the interior is pretty, though, and the employees are nice. i'm teetering on the edge of 2 or 3 star bc i think 2 might be too harsh, but also i just got their matcha (and i think matcha is a good base test to see how good a boba place is), and the bubbles were hard? like i was looking forward to boba all week, and then i got this, and instantly my face just kinda... :/ also the 50% sugar is still pretty sweet, which is surprising especially for matcha, which is more bitter than other teas. anyway, if you're in the area, it's best to just walk the extra block and get sharetea read more

My goodness. I wish I discovered this place sooner. This boba is legit. You can adjust the sweetness and ice levels to get more flavor and toppings for your buck. They use REAL tea as their base. Not powders or syrups. They use quality boba. It's not too sweet, great texture and they keep it fresh. It's unsuspecting because it's along the street next to Subway and Starbucks. You can use the hotel parking garage, but there's usually free 1 hour parking along the street as well. If you're not used to the logo, you'd walk right past it. I didn't know it was a global franchise, but I can see why if it is consistently fresh and delicious. Our favorite staples are the jasmine tea and matcha green tea with pearls. read more

Ordered the Two Ladies and the Passionfruit & Mango Slush. Both drinks were good! The cashier was very helpful at customizations and recommendations. The slush was blended nicely with no ice chunks. I think I found my new boba spot! I would definitely be back if parking wasn't so hard to find. I had to park underneath LunchBox Laboratory and walk over. read more

It says they're open at noon, but they were closed? Good thing Sharetea is located close by. Sharetea was open. Hmm..I like the bubble tea here, but sometimes the wait times are ridiculously long. I often go to Sharetea at the landing and the lines are just as long with shorter wait times. It's probably because Sharetea has more workers to help with the high volume is customers. That being said, CoCo has similar flavor and quality to Sharetea. read more

Would not bother coming in here. Their drinks are just syrup water, who wants to pay for sugar water?? PASS!!!! Don't bother coming in here, their drinks taste water-down. read more

5 boba fantastic stars. I love this place, like I would come here everyday if I could simply because their milk tea is the best I've ever had. And I've tried a lot being a milk tea enthusiast. I always order the jasmine green milk tea with boba, everything from the first sip to the bite of the boba is heavenly. Every time I come to Bellevue, without a doubt I will always drop by CoCo's. Their service is also fast and friendly. What's not to love? Come try the best milk tea place ever! One thing to point out, is that they have no parking. So I usually park at the Bravern and walk over after shopping. read more

Coco is by far the BEST bubble tea shop in the greater Seattle area! (Sharetea is a close second...) But Coco definitely stands out in terms of their quality. You can really taste the difference when you order the milk teas-- Coco is super rich and creamy unlike many other places that "water down" their drinks. Previously, my go to choice was the "Coco Milk Tea" (30% sweet, less ice) as it had a unique flavor that could only be found at Coco. But recently, they had a special promoting their roasted oolong grass jelly milk tea and I was very pleasantly surprised by the combination of flavors. The extra bit of nuttiness and the subtle sweetness of the grass jelly worked really well together. All while having much fewer calories than the traditional tapioca ball read more

CoCo Bubble Tea - Large Grass Jelly Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I went to several CoCo stores in other cities (LA/SF) and most of them were quite rundown and mediocre. This Bellevue location however is well-maintained and their drinks are good. Not overly sweeten in general, most toppings/creama are well done, and the price/portion ratio is phenomenal. They also have new drinks every now and then and I appreciate that. The only set back of this store is the difficult parking, which isn't really something that the store can improve anyway. Please open one up in Redmond, preferably close to Microsoft lmao Hope they keep it up! read more

Great service! Misheard my order and gave me something but remade the more expensive drink for free.

Must get the taro sago milk tea!! So freaking good. That sago is a game changer. Drinks come in two sizes: regular and large. You can even change your level of sweetness and ice. Additional toppings are an extra $.50 each. This place is not that spacious but there are tables to sit at with friends. There is a public parking garage right around the corner as well next to the Marriott. The only thing is to make sure your order is correct BEFORE you leave. My boyfriend and I ordered four taro sago milk tea and once we got back home, there were no sago in any of them. We were so disappointed. We called them saying they forgot to add in the sago and all they could do was redo our drinks if we came back, but we were already back in Seattle so we just kept it. Other than that, this is still my fav boba spot so yes, I will be back for the taro sago milk tea. read more

So happy to have found Coco one day while strolling around Bellevue! This place is not somewhere I would specifically go to or quickly stop by if I were driving. The parking situation is just a hassle! Street parking is already a turn off for me but there is no parking in front of the place, only around the building. That just makes it a little inconvenient. This place has a cute atmosphere, somewhere I could see my friends and I just sitting around in and enjoying some tea. They have a wide selection of drinks and specialties. My favourite is the 3 guys tea which is milk tea with boba, grass jelly, and egg pudding. My favourite combo! The tea was very flavourful, not too sweet, and not too milky. The boba was my favourite! The perfect taste and texture. When I go to other tea shops and ask for all of 3 toppings in one, the price starts to add up. However, I only paid $5 here! I'd definitely come back next time in walking in the area. read more

CoCo Bubble Tea - 3 Guys - Bubble Tea Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Who doesn't like a good boba tea? Visited this location twice on our vacation. Two ladies was a fave as well as the taro slush.

CoCo has taken the crown from ShareTea as the best boba in WA. Their milk tea is just simply better. They even have sago as a topping and it's so delicious that I get it every time. My go-to drinks here are either the Milk Tea with Pudding and Sago or the Mango Smoothie. The mango smoothie is one of the best I've had and it feels like you are sticking a straw straight into a mango. They have even have the texture just right so you can feel the fibers of the mango and it's not thick at all like how smoothies usually are. The only downside of this place is that it is hard to get to if you want to drive here as it is basically on the side of a busy street with very limited street parking and not that much foot traffic. Luckily if you turn right around the corner, the Marriott has a small section in their garage for retail parking which is what I use each time. read more

I'm from San Jose where milk tea places are scattered everywhere. I would probably consider myself a milk tea connoisseur considering I love milk tea so much. This place hands down has the BEST milk tea in Seattle. My favorite is the Taro MT with Sago. Other flavors look good but the Taro Sago is THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD!!!! CoCo is located in Bellevue, which isn't exactly Seattle... PLEASE OPEN A COCO IN DOWNTOWN SEATTLE!!! read more

Enjoyed the 3 guys milk tea and passionfruit green tea with boba with customization on sugar and ice level. Nice service and toppings were satisfactory. The free drink for rewarding frequent purchases is a plus. Price is competitive with other bubble tea establishments. read more

Roasted milk tea and three guys. Those r the best. If u never went, get these and u will be happy. You're welcome

Drinks are sooooo good!!! The only down fall is that you have to wait a while for your drink after ordering and parking for this location very limited read more

I don't think there is anything overly good or bad about this place. The shop is a bit small and hard to get to so that's a bit of a downside. The mall is far away etc. we missed the back parking. But the boba is very refreshing and not icy. We got the mango passion fruit w boba and the taro slush w boba. The passion fruit mango only tasted really of mango thought it didn't taste super artificial. The taro kind of tasted like light vanilla milk and didn't have a distinct taro root flavor. The pearls were pretty chewy and didn't have much flavor. We might stop in again if it's on our way somewhere. read more

I ordered the black milk tea with no toppings and received a black tea with no milk. Maybe they gave me the wrong order? I told them I ordered the black milk tea and she lied that she repeated it to me 3 times. I just want what I came for so asked them if I can exchange it for the milk tea and I am willing to pay the difference. They said no, they can't do anything about it. My friends told me I should have just left the tea there but I paid for it, so I might as well try it. I should have listened to them because not even joking, the black tea tastes just like the Mcdonald's $1 sweet tea. read more

You can let the drink explain itself! I've tried a good amount of boba spots, and Coco is definitely a top contender. I get the Jasmine Milk Tea every time, and it never lets me down. Make sure to get the large, since you're going to finish it so quickly. There are many other drink options if you don't like Jasmine milk tea. They also have a good amount of toppings if you're into boba balls, pudding, etc. They will ask you what percentage of sweetness and amount of ice you want. The line can wrap around, so don't be surprised. It took a little longer than other boba spots to get my drink, but I think it's because they only have two people working at a time. Still, Coco is the best Seattle-area boba spot by far! read more

Tried this place with some friends today. They had a wide variety of flavors and fillings. They also have roasted tea which is relatively novel in these parts. My friend got roasted rose tea which she was impressed with. I got my staple pearl milk tea, and I was also pleasantly surprised. It wasn't too sugary and the tapioca consistency was perfect. Will definitely be back when I am visiting the area. read more

Great milk tea. Great boba. Trust me, I know my milk tea. Lots of other interesting drinks I"m looking forward to trying! Only gripe about the place is the location. Gotta find parking around the block and then walk around. A little inconvenient, but if I'm in the area, I'd probably hit this place up! read more

I'm a big fan of their drinks but their customer service is just awful. They forgot our orders, and once we brought it up with their cashier, they didn't even bother to make our drinks before everyone else's! So we waited another 20 minutes for them to make it, and it takes a whole hour from the time we ordered to the time we got our drinks. They didn't even try to provide any sort of compensation, and the shop wasn't even that busy compared to their peak hours. I've worked part-time in a boba shop that has higher customer volume than this CoCo, and it's easy to tell that the management lacks experience or just doesn't care about their customer relationships because of the lack of procedure to rectify these mistakes. Mistakes are bound to happen, but your staff needs to be prepared to handle them properly to not piss off the customers. This is definitely NOT how you should treat your customers. read more

The old lady which I assume is the owner has issues. Asked for hot drinks and she put the cold drink plastic on top and gave us straws...who drinks burning hot bubble tea with a plastic straw? Plus, we were afraid the plastic film would melt. We saw the lid for the hot coffee drinks and asked her for one. She gave us a bad attitude saying something along the lines of, "what's the difference? It's going to melt anyway". Implying if the plastic film would melt, the hot coffee lid would also melt, so why switch it? She needs to clean up her attitude if she's serving customers. 85 degrees, Share Tea, and Young Tea are great places around the area for bbtea, and best of all, they come attitude free. read more

This is a terrible place. We came there today and waited in line for like 20 minutes, and when we were about to make an order, the staff told us that they are closing, while there were still lots of people waiting behind us. We got pissed off right away, and the staff said 'sorry I don't know you guys are here to buy drinks so I didn't tell you we are closing.' This is terribly ridiculous, tell me what the hell they were thinking we were here for? Why didn't they tell us they are closing soon so we didn't waste the 20 minutes and come back earlier next time? So, I will never come back again, and I highly suggest nobody come to this place when within an hour before they close, to avoid the freaking experience we had today. read more

Wow I am very disappointed, I hope this place is not going downhill as it has been one of my fav spots. I just stopped by to pick up one of my favorite milk tea and the taste is way off, it is way watered down with zero tea flavor. What a waste as it is not in drinkable condition. Daughter got the mango Yakult which was fine. read more

Better bubble tea than in LA and NY imo! Oddly though it's a chain. I had the Three Guys - bubble tea with tapioca, grass jelly and egg pudding. Half sugar with light ice - fave way. So good! No line on Saturday night 10pm:) read more
