Tip: Sign up for CoCo rewards and get a free drink down the road as you make more purchases.
After having a decent ramen lunch at Kinton Ramen, I left the eatery and was in front of this CoCo Fresh Tea and Juice next door.
Should I get bubble tea from here or should I wait till I get to Collections Outlet Winnipeg and hit my beloved Chatime?
Decisions, decisions! I had never been here, so I said yes. I was already parked steps away, so I might as well grab something to drink on a hot summer day.
I walked in. It was busy. There were a couple of folks waiting for their tea. I was in line to place my order with a couple of other folks in front of me.
My go-to drink at CoCo is a large strawberry black tea (no sugar and less ice) with coconut jelly. It has been the case for a few years. I love it. Chunks of real strawberry. Chewy coconut jelly. Strong black tea. Some ice. Refreshing!
I was taking photos. A woman waiting in line was watching. Sadly, I caught her staring into my camera in one of my photos. Ugh!
She ended up thinking to herself that taking photos while she was waiting for her drink was a good idea and went crazy.
That's okay joining in on the photo-taking fun. It just seemed a bit weird. Maybe I'm just a trendsetter... NOT! Luckily, she got her drink. She took a photo of it and left.
I placed my order with the nice woman behind the counter. I also signed up for CoCo rewards. The Ontario and Manitoba CoCo rewards programs are separate.
I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I then waited for my drink to be made.
This CoCo is spacious. It has plenty of seats and tables to sit down and enjoy your bubble tea.
My tea was ready. I thanked the man who made it, wished both staffers a great day, and headed to my vehicle.
My bubble tea was consistent with how it's made at various CoCo places within the greater Toronto area. It hit the spot. I got my strawberry black tea fix, complete with the best coconut jelly.
I drank my tea on my way to parking at the outlet. I walked around the outlet sipping it. Stores were so nice to let me sip away.
It's a decent CoCo. I'd return to get more when I'm back in this area.
